50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Birmingham

“FANTASTIC restaurant! Drinks are on point, food is amazing, and the staff makes this one of our fav restaurants and definitely a repeat! 10/10 recommend!“

“Everything was delicious!! Steak Tartare, Chicken Liver Mousse and Escargot as appetizers, Trout Amondine and Basque Cake make this one of the best dining experiences I have ever enjoyed in Bham. Service was the best!!! Even met Frank Stitt!!! Can’t wait to go back soon!!!“

“We're not huge fans of Greek food, but we tried Tasty Town, mainly for convenience. We had planned a very packed day of sight-seeing in Birmingham on a Saturday. It seemed that hardly any eatery would be open and there wasn't time allowance to drive out of the downtown area, without being late for the next activity. Thus, we settled on a mid-afternoon lunch/dinner at Tasty Town. Honestly, both of us thought it was better than we had anticipated and the service and location were top notch. Thanks, Tasty Town! Thanks for being there, and thanks for being so good.“

“We love this restaurant and had a phenomenal experience on 2 different occasions. Today they did a fantastic job for our son's birthday. The food was amazing and the staff is so friendly. The atmosphere is cozy and beautiful. We definitely will make this our place to escape from the average dining places.“

“Every time I come home I want to come both here and Bright Star. The food is great as well as the service and the Sarris family has earned every dime they make! My favorite is seasonal, the bbq shrimp and grits and the whole flounder is amazing.“

“Amazing food and great service. 🙂“

“I love coming to Slutty Vegan. I used to go to the ones in Atlanta (Ralph David and Edgewood), but I've moved to Alabama about 10 months ago. I loved when I realised that they had a shop here in Birmingham.

Their slutty fries is amazing with the spicy agave mustard or hunny mustard. 9/10

Can't go wrong with the fussy hussy if you're looking for the normal toppings that come on a burger. 8/10

When I get a burger from here, though, I like the one night stand because I like the v. bacon. 9/10

The boujee heaux is their fried cauliflower wings. I've only ever tried the 10pc garlic parm w. fries, but it's amazing. 9/10

I've had the banana pudding before. I don't get it anymore, but it's still delicious. I like my banana pudding a little more solidified, whether it is the breading/crumbles, or actual bananas. This does mimic a legitimate pudding though. 9/10

The hollywood hooker is a good v. philly. I don't normally eat philly cheesesteaks that often, so it's almost a bit much for me due to the amount of stuff in it, but I can still appreciate the flavour profiles, the necessary toppings to make it a philly, and the ability for Slutty Vegan to make a tasty version of the classic sandwich. 9/10

I've only had the project chik one time, and that was when it first came out. At that time, it was a limited time item. I didn't like this sandwich as much, but that's because it wasn't saucy. I think they've added ranch or mayo, but it wasn't enough, so you can simply get extra ranch/mayo. 6.5/10

The sweet potato pie is delicious. 10/10

The hooker fries are delicious. Arguably the best item on the menu for me. If there's any legitimate critique I have of Slutty Vegan, it's that the buns get soggy really quickly from the burger, so it can feel like eating the toppings and patty with a mushy bun sometimes. So, I mostly get the hooker fries when I visit because there is no bun to worry about, and it gives me the same toppings as the philly cheesesteak, except I don't have to worry about being overwhelmed with everything that's inside of the hoagie and trying to keep everything pieced together. The hooker fries IS the hollywood hooker, just with fries instead of a hoagie. It's pretty much loaded fries, but it has to be some of the best loaded fries I've had. 11/10

I do miss the big dawg though. I love bratwurst, so SV's spin on this was amazing. Add this back to the menu and I'd be back probably two to three times a week continuously.“

“I absolutely love having a cafe style grill and juice bar in town. Everything is made to order and fresh!! I’ve had the shrimp and grits, avocado toast, hummus, pizza, and a variety of juices. I have 1-2 meals on the weekends and juices last me throughout the work week. Don’t forget to get some fresh herbs for any health concerns you have!!!! Very kind owners and staff.“

“First time visit last night. Holy cow. Talk about amazing food. Ordered the Palmero (sp) pizza and salad. I felt like I was in Italy. The ingredients are so fresh tasting. Cant say enough about their pizza. Thin crust. Able to enjoy the pizza and not have a mouth full of bread. Fast service. Love the professionalism of the owner / bakers. They had on a chef coats and “Italy” caps. The place was extremely clean and VERY inviting. My friend that I went with used the facilités and she came out and was remarking how awesome the bathrooms even were. Def will be eating there again and again. Welcome to Trussville.“

“This was one of the best food truck experiences for me! The garlic parm potato is my fav!! Give them a try!!!“

“Great customer service, and the ice cream is fantastic. I definitely would recommend!“

“Best ceviche I have ever had - and I’m from a costal state where it’s very popular. The atmosphere was great and our waiter was awesome! I had the Masa Custed Trout - 10 out of 10!! My son had Barbaccoa quesadilla, it was great too! Little one had a bacon quesadilla he ate ALL of it shocking for put 9 yo! Seriously though, go! You won’t regret it!!“

“I absolutely love this place! literally, this place is absolutely phenomenal. there's two separate bartenders that are there on any given morning... both these girls are absolutely fantastic. both of them are really really pretty and they've got amazing attitudes, they've always got a smile on their face and what's amazing is, you can walk in on a Monday morning like this morning, knowing it's Monday and it's overcast and those two girls were laughing and cutting up and smiling and it just put you in a really really really amazing mood to start your day. I'm of the belief that if we can be around people that can brighten our day, then we definitely should. these girls start my morning off on a positive foot. I don't feel like a customer, honestly I try to bring them either energy drinks or donuts and then eat the world's greatest biscuits and gravy, that gravy is absolutely amazing, and there's always a smile on their face, it's always an amazing time and I look forward to each time I come which is about 3 or 4 days a week. the stores always really clean, and it smells amazing. the restrooms are always in great condition, sitting at the bars amazing, there's never food left around or sitting around, they're quick to clean up the tables, these girls really run the show, and everybody else in the background does an amazing job too. really thankful for this place, and I'm really glad that I get to be a part of the BBB family! Yall rock“

“I haven’t been over to see Jamié in many years. Still number one.“

“Even got a cool 😎 magic show! Everyone was friendly! Good food.“

“Good vibes in the area … ☮️“

“Soooo delicious an the waiter is so sweet an helpful ❤️“

“UAB location is awesome. I have visited this located several times and always clean, friendly, and food always good. I normally do online order and my order always ready when I arrive. I ate there with my mother once and it was nice and pleasant. We sat outside on the patio.“

“Wow, wow, wow. When I asked the waiter, how long the restaurant had been there, I was almost mad at myself when he told me it has been in Birmingham eight years. Why didn’t I find this place sooner? I went with my sister and my brother-in-law for dinner, we felt like we were eating in the French quarter. It’s the best Cajun food I’ve had north of New Orleans. You must try the shrimp, poor boy, better yet get the surf and turf because the roast beef will blow your mind. My sister and I also had the gumbo, the hush puppies are Devine, succotash was really good, and oh my wonderful tastebuds, the muffaletta was something like you would have on Bourbon Street. If you like Cajun food, this place has great food and a fun environment with lots of outdoor seating. Dog friendly to boot! I highly recommend that you try this at least once if you live in Birmingham or are visiting.“

“Scott did a great job acknowledging our birthdays. He provided excellent service and refills/replenishments were always timely. The food was good, not all the ingredients were explained upfront (e.g. corn chowder had bacon, unknown until delivered). Minor glitch, we always enjoy a special celebration here when we are in town visiting family.“

“We drove 2 hrs to try it an it did not disappoint. Bowl was amazing an we will be back“

“The food is amazing! And everyone is super friendly and professional. I would recommend calling your order well in advanced tho. The wait time for to gos for me has been 45 mins to an hour each time, but that’s fine I planned for it. To me that just says they are very busy, which is a great thing! Prices are very fair and portion sizes are perfect!“

“Great atmosphere and delicious food, just all over great service.“

“Seasons 52 is always a favorite. We had to change our party from 4 to 2 due to illness and they were so accomodating. Food was fantastic, we had the wood plank salmon and the filet. One of my favorite cocktails is their cucumber basil smash. And they had so many deserts to choose from! Highly recommend the s'mores and the salted caramel!“

“Last night I went there beautiful place relaxing Friendly place. I will come again. 10/10“

“My husband and I often eat at the Metro Diner Trussville, AL location, because the food is excellent, and the staff is amazing. So, when he said he was going to order our Thanksgiving dinner from them, I was not surprised. And, y'all, it was EXCELLENT! A lot of food for a reasonable price, and everything tasted delicious. Plus there was plenty for leftovers. I know who we'll be having to cater our Christmas dinner. 😀“

“Like their food/atmosphere but dang in the last 2-3 weeks their pizzas got smaller! They used be like 16" now they're like 10" and same price and no explanation!!! Disappointed.“

“My Boyfriend And I Ordered Saigon On Thursday August 28th 2025 the food was amazing,ING and so affordable. food was as always delicious! thanks again“

“My experience was awesome great coconut curry and boba tea“

“Delicious! Best hamburger and wings. Excellent service from our bartender, Savannah. She's the best!“

“Amazing. Definitely one of the best restaurants in Birmingham. The freshest, hand-made pastas with wonderful ingredients, to the Roman style pizza, daily soups, and crave-able desserts will keep you coming back for more! The service is top notch too. Love their delivery option. Perfect every order! *get the daily special! *daily soups are a MUST! Ragu is insane.... Cacio Pepe.... Heck, it's all fantastic!“

“They are a small business food truck that demonstrates nothing but exemplary customer service. My husband went by while they were in Helena for their to die for peach crumble. They were out of the dessert but they offered to make half a pan for us and said they will have it ready the next day at their next location at Shelby Baptist. I went by to pick it up and not only did they have it ready but they brought it out to me at my car. They are such nice people and I’m very happy at the customer service they display. Let’s support Battle Axe and I urge you to make it a point to go by and try all of their scrumptious food. Thank you Battle Axe.“

“We had another delicious, affordable meal from Panchos yesterday. This place is consistent, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the food is scrumptious. It’s definitely our go-to for Mexican food in the area. Thanks, guys! Y’all rock!!“

“The staff is always super nice!! The Gooey Butter cake is the best ice cream I've ever had!!“

“tried this for the first time today. it was amazing. service was great food was so good“

“Great food, service, and experience. Will definitely return. Very clean and you are in and out quick.“

“Ruby Sunshine Homewood was kind enough to donate delicious Sausage and Bacon to our brunch for Labeled and Loved Jefferson County Sisterhood Circle. We are a support group for special needs moms. The managers Marsha and Andrew were very professional .Your generosity was much appreciated❤️ See you soon!“

“Awesome salad.“

“My bestie and I visited here on our way to an event. I've been hooked ever since. I love the different healthy options available and that you can fully customize your experience. It would help to browse the menu before going so you don't hold up the line during busier times. I think in this day I opted for a veggie bowl. But I've also had the chicken grain and green bowl as well as the falafel and all were great. The pita chips are a must try! They are so addictive! I also love the free parking deck and the digital drive-through on those days when I just want to grab and go.“

“One of the best meat and three in the city!!“

“Love this place! Came in for breakfast while in town and had a wonderful experience. My waitress was Anna and she was very attentive and knowledgeable of the menu and very friendly! Will be back again!!“

“Red Sea is the Ultimate Dining Experience, I have been a Loyal Customer for years. In my humble Opinion, with the Ultimate Gumbo Alone, there is no comparison nowhere in the B’ham/Metro area!!! Sunday I took my Mother and Sisters here for Dinner after Church, and they were very Impressed. The Food was Delicious “As always”and the Service was Impeccable. Whenever I’m asked of friends and Family Or Co- workers of a Good Place to enjoy a meal RED SEA is the Place I will always Highly Recommend. Chef “B” and Staff are Awesome!!!“

“I pulled a non-Karen today and asked for the manager. I explained to her how amazed I was at their food and how utterly fantastic it is. I ordered an unagi poke bowl and a salmon Maki roll via GrubHub, then I went there in person and ordered the unagidon and salmon roll, and today I ordered the steak teppanyaki, salad, seaweed salad (OMG - seriously? BEST I'VE EVER HAD), and got the tonkotsu ramen with menma. She remembered me from my order today and when I was there last week. Let's talk about the salmon roll - absolutely fresh and filled with thick pieces of salmon and perfectly cooked sushi rice. The rice was a compliment rather than the main to the roll. The steak? Chef's kiss. perfectly seasoned and tender with amazing veggies. Serving size? Goodness, well deserved of the price. The seaweed salad? OMG. usually, I'll get a teensy bit for the same price. Here, you get a good chunk of it but it's served over romaine lettuce with chopped cucumbers. It's definitely a true salad. Now, let's talk about the tonkotsu. The chasu pork is seared perfectly and absolutely delectable. It's also served with green onions, an excellent half of a shoyu egg, and I added menma (bamboo shoots). The broth is excellent and you can tell it has been carefully taken care of (a tad garlicky, but that's fine with me), silky, and says "I'm your comfort food" over and over again. Lastly, the service shows how much they care about their food and their customers. Like I said, I pulled a Non-Karen and spoke to the manager and sang praises for their food and service. I now have my favorite Japanese spot now that I'm back in Birmingham. PS. their unagidon is on fire! Yum!“

“Brick & Tin in Birmingham strikes a pleasing balance between casual charm and conscientious cuisine. From the start, you sense its farm-to-table ethos: the menu emphasizes locally sourced ingredients and humane, additive-free meats. 

One of the highlights is how flexible they are: soups, paninis, salads, small plates, and full entrées provide enough variety to satisfy both light-lunch seekers and diners craving something more substantial.  Their brisket panini draws particular praise—tender meat, caramelized onions, and a well-balanced sauce—while seasonal soups (especially the butternut squash) are often lauded for their comforting warmth and depth.“

“Celebrated with a group in Chez Lulu. The atmosphere was great and the food quality and assortment was nothing short of amazing! The staff were so friendly and welcoming. My favs were the Greek pizza and chocolate Potacreme.“

“Fantastic meal and drinks!“

“We had lunch today and absolutely had the best customer service. It was super busy and staff were really on top of everything. They went above and beyond what was expected to make sure we enjoyed our meal. We will definitely be back.“

“Excellent top notch pizza (BBQ Brisket pizza, Philly pizza) all the way down to the crust, tasty fair price drinks, and excellent service, shout out to Gabby G Lakeview, Highly recommend!“

“Great food and excellent service! Bamboo never disappoints!“

“We had tasty burritos. Mine was a fine mushroom and pork one. The atmosphere is quite good. And the wait staff is friendly. Will be going back for more. Recommended for certain.“
