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.

“Johin’na is a dazzling new gem in Birmingham’s vibrant culinary scene! From the moment you step through the door, you’re immersed in an atmosphere that promises a truly unique and unforgettable experience. The decor is a breathtaking fusion of creativity and elegance, unlike anything else in the city—every detail is thoughtfully curated to spark wonder and delight. The staff’s warmth and hospitality take the evening to extraordinary heights. We were incredibly fortunate to have founder Chef Amber step out of the kitchen to serve as our guide for the night. Her deep knowledge of the menu and infectious passion for the dishes made our choices effortless and exhilarating. Her expertly recommended pairings perfectly complemented our tastes, transforming each course into a culinary adventure. Adding to the magic, we had the privilege of chatting with founders Executive Chef Ashley and Shun Love, whose vision and warmth made us feel like family. We’ve never felt more welcomed in a restaurant! Beyond their culinary genius and gracious hospitality, the sisters and their mother are absolutely stunning, radiating charm and grace that elevate the entire experience. Every dish we savored was a masterpiece, bursting with bold, innovative flavors that showcase the creative spirit of Johin’na’s kitchen. The meticulous attention to detail in both presentation and taste was impeccable, leaving us eager to return and explore more of the menu. Johin’na isn’t just a meal—it’s a soulful experience that lingers long after the last bite. Birmingham is beyond lucky to have this treasure, and I can’t recommend it highly enough!“

“Really good experience, starting with the manager rearranging table so that our party of 14 could sit together. Great service and great food at a reasonable price. We got the half wedge salad and pork and greens, fried pickles, fried tomatoes, and pimento cheese and pepper jelly appetizers.“

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

“Friendly taproom with a welcoming vibe, dog-friendly atmosphere, and a wide selection of well-crafted beers. Favorite spot before a a Baron’s game.“

“My first time at The Club! I was there for a scholarship dinner and thoroughly impressed. I asked about joining and was told that you had to be recommended. This is definitely a shortcoming for the club as I do not know many people in Alabama. This rule needs to be changed.“

“Laura, Linda and Jenny had a lunch meeting in November 2025 and enjoyed their buffet. Then, they joined us as a Feed BHM partner which means they give all their food overages to care for the people of Birmingham. Support great people who love our city!“

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

“We had a great time tonight for Valentine’s Day. The food and drinks were wonderful and we really appreciated the atmosphere and roomy table distances. Will definitely be back.“

“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.“
