“20240327 ? 20% tip was already included in my bill. When I was paying with my credit card, it asked for tip. So I tipped $30 for $140 total, not knowing that 20% tip was included!! ? Good thing Ricardo was great, and with Bidenomics... the extra tip might help Ricardo out. I guess I should check my bills in the future.20240326 so happy this restaurant is dogfriendly. In town for a day and wanted a nice meal with my friend and her family. Ricardo was the best waiter. He was attentive, and very polite and nice. The food was delicious. I really like the stuffed grouper.“

“Service was absent. Waitress argued with my dad about an appetizer quality. So he refused to order any more food little did they know he was picking up the check. Food was okay. Not 5 star. Took us 4 hours to eat and get out. Waitress had 6 tables with 39 people in upscale restaurant. Been waiting years to go here. Service really was worse than Applebees“

“This place truly deserves all the accolades it has received over its many decades of operation. Even though we had to wait at least a half hour for a table on an extra busy Saturday night, it was so very worth it! The service was impeccable, but the real star of the Bright Star, is the scrumptious food. From the most delicious stuffed mushroom appetizer, to the freshly made crispy salad, to the fresh baked rolls, to the mouthwatering entrees, everything was culinary perfection! I highly recommend visiting the Bright Star as often as possible. Your reward will be gastronomical!“

“Last night my husband and I ate dinner at Firebirds. Our steaks were INCREDIBLE. They could compete with Fleming’s or Perry’s. Our service was excellent. I wish I remembered our servers name, she was quick and very kind (she had on a David Yurman cross pendant, young and light brown hair). I do recommend making a reservation if you’re going on a Friday/Saturday night. As we were leaving, we heard the hostess say it would be a 3 hour wait for the party that just arrived. Will be back!“

“Absolutely LOVE this place! The owners are so incredibly nice and the sushi/hibachi is probably the best I've ever had! I cannot say enough great things about this place! We have been here a couple time already and can't wait to go back!“

“The food here is so amazing! The New Orleans-based decorations and music blasting make it feel familiar inside the building. The staff was extremely nice and patient, answering our questions and making small talk. They're extremely sustainable by using reusable silverware and dishes. However, the tables are close to each other, which adds to the homey/familiar vibe, but it doesn't help with preventing COVID-19. Though, they do offer take-out as a counter! The area is really small with limited parking but the experience there left a big impression.“

“This is the best fried seafood shack around. I've been eating here for over 30 years and never been disappointed, except when they went away for a couple of years. Anyone I've ever brought here or recommended them to has always enjoyed it as well. Great food, owner, and service. Servings aren't skimpy either.“

“Carrot cake is truly all I will ever need here. It's warm, it's moist, it's spiced well... just YUMMMM. The cajun trout was on special and was absolutely delicious. Crab cakes were delicious as always as well. I don't get around to J Alexanders often, but I'm always reminded to stop by more often when I do happen to stop in.“

“I’ve been going to O’Sushi almost weekly for a couple years and never took the time to leave a review until now. If you love raw tuna rolls and yum yum sauce, theirs is personally my favorite and the best of all the other sushi restaurants around Hoover. I order the same dishes frequently (Roll Tide Roll and the Fantasy Island) and each time I go they present the dish beautifully, and a little differently each time. Today I got the Fantasy Island and the Sushi Chef presented it in the shape of what looks like a crab haha (At least that’s what I saw). They are kind of tucked away so they were one of the last sushi places I tried since moving to Birmingham and it’s a shame. Don’t let the small outside presence fool you, their quality is above par in comparison to the other sushi restaurants around the area! Also pictured below is the Roll Tide Roll ??“

“Food-wise this place knocks it outta the park Southern Style and really satisfies (meat and 3? I wanted about 17 of the sides!!). Iconic and recommended, food for everybody and all types dining there (laborers, businessmen, retirees...all here with good reason). Actual dining is a RUSHED experience though, even after prime lunch hours: machine-gun choices lobbed at you, hurried to your table, and be careful using the restroom--you might come back to a bussed & cleaned table!. Meat+3 w/dessert/drink=$24. Nice to see management assisting elderly customers by taking their trays for them. Ample free parking. Large cafeteria seating area. Catfish in Fridays. Would def come back and bring others. Place could prob stand to reinvest and spruce up interior some if possible to not compromise its old timey feel.“

“The best wings and quesadillas from a food truck I’ve ever had. The sides are crazy big and can all be loaded up with toppings. My wife loves the okra and hot lemon pepper catfish. The Jamaican Jerk wings were excellent fried extra crispy. Philly cheese sandwich and quesadilla were perfect.“

“I had a surprise birthday dinner . Everything was excellent from the atmosphere, food, drinks and customer service. I along with my guests thoroughly enjoyed everything. This is a hidden gem and great steakhouse.Kid-friendliness: Very nice family restaurant.“

“I have been coming here forever, and now I come with my in-laws, who have been coming forever, and it’s always been a nice place to eat. The food is yummy and fast. The atmosphere is very festive! And, barring a few exceptions, staff is always super sweet. I don’t partake, but I’m told the margaritas are wonderful and a great price.Kid-friendliness: They were very accommodating of my toddler being very curious of the decor everywhere and running around to check it out.“

“Great food, friendly staff.Every experience here is a good one. The portions are large and the prices can't be beat!Parking: Parking is typically easy to find here. We've been here for lunch and dinner times and never had any problems.Kid-friendliness: Very kids friendly. The servers are great with the kiddos and the kids meals are portioned perfectly.“

“The food is great and the prices are reasonable! Unfortunately, they discontinued the New Orleans dish and honey dressing, however, their menu is vast with plenty of options. The staff is repeatable and friendly. Would highly recommend to my family and friends!“

“Finally had a chance to check out Yo Chef and was NOT disappointed! The food, drinks, and atmosphere were definitely a vibe. I had the Rasta Chicken Pasta and my out of town guests had the red snapper. Everyone at the table enjoyed the food and had great things to say about their meal. I will DEFINITELY be returning soon!“

“Rick & I celebrated our birthdays with a 2 day stay at Ross Bridge! Shortly after we checked in, we went down to Brock's for dinner. Everything we ate was delicious and our service from Benjamin was absolutely perfect. We had appetisers: chicken flat bread & kale salad. Both were fantastic. Our entrees were steaks which were cooked to perfection. But I think the sides were the best part. I had zucchini and Rick had potato's and they were both awesome. Can't wait until breakfast there tomorrow!“

“"I came for the Peach Cobbler"But received so much more!!Upon entering the staff was very caring and attentive. The food was season to perfection and the overall atmosphere was devine. The cobbler had so much golden crust and goodness. I forgot to take a pic!Thank you to the Chef and Staff for the wonderful time!Parking: Great parking options.“

“Definitely recommend this place! It’s slept on!1st time I tried it because I stayed in the hotel next door and I was really impressed. This is my 2nd visit and I purposely drove 40 min from downtown Birmingham for it. Ordered 5lbs of mixed seafood boil, definitely enjoyed it. Half way through the food cooled down so the waitress offered to reheat it and the owner kindly brought it out for us. After we paid and ready to go the waitress offered us to-go drinks.Will not be my last visit.“

“I love this place! Been going for years when in the area as their lemon pepper wings and lemonade are my go-to. Food is consistently fresh and I especially love the amount I get for the value. Avoid high hopes for superb service and you should enjoy thoroughly!“

“This place was amazing! I had the chicken enchiladas with grilled chicken and they were the best enchiladas I think I have ever had in my life!! The corn tortillas they used were amazing! The gravy was fantastic! I didn't just love the margarita but my wife had a lemon, cherry, strawberry drink that was really good! Staff was friendly. Atmosphere was very authentic. Nothing fancy but the food was incredible!“

“The food here is really good! I had the Mardi Gras pasta and it was delicious. Also had the Royal Red shrimp scampi appetizer, and it was also delicious. I do want to note that the two hostesses that checked us in weren't super social or friendly. Their tones were flat and they seemed more interested in being on their phones and talking to each other. A third hostess came along and was very friendly and engaging, keeping us updated of when our table was going to be ready.“

“My boyfriend and I took my Mom and Dad out for dinner. We wanted something different so we drove over 2 hours, and it wasn't a disappointment. Everything was phenomenal. From our hostess to our waitress, and the food was ?. My parents enjoyed it and so did we. Definitely worth the drive and the 5 STAR!!!“

“My recent visit to Good Friends Chinese & Seafood was a delightful journey into Chinese cuisine. The restaurant's inviting atmosphere set the stage for a satisfying meal. I ordered fried rice, egg rolls, and shrimp, and each dish was a delight. The fried rice was flavorful and perfectly cooked, the egg rolls were crispy and packed with savory fillings, and the shrimp was a succulent and flavorful treat. Good Friends Chinese & Seafood's dedication to authentic Chinese flavors and high-quality ingredients was evident in every dish. The friendly service and the welcoming ambiance added to the overall enjoyable experience. Whether you're a fan of fried rice, egg rolls, shrimp, or simply seeking a taste of China, Good Friends is a must-visit. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to savor more of their delicious offerings!“

“My husband and I had the pick 3 fried seafood. We had catfish, oysters and shrimp. It was hot and fresh. Seasoned perfectly. Our waitress was Cookie and she was great!! There was another young man that greeted us (We didn’t get his name) but he was personable and made us feel welcome. We will be going back soon.“

“This is a great Mexican restaurant specializing in seafood dishes. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was great as well. At the time we were there a live band was playing and singing Mexican music. We enjoyed the experience immensely.“

“Would get 5 stars if they cooked the shrimp in the boil sauce like the rest of the meal instead of adding afterwards. Besides that the staff is super nice, the space is clean, and the food is hot and super tasty. Have been multiple times and will continue to visit.“

“Nice, quiet, peaceful dining area. We got the Cream Cheese Harumaki, the Combination Egg Foo Young, and the Orange Chicken. The Orange Chicken was our favorite. We got a side of hot chili oil that we added to it, it was great. Bold citrus flavor with orange peel zest, sweet, bitter, and spicy. Very nice.Want to try the Twice Cooked Pork next time!“

“Great wings, fish & fries! Great for drive thru! Dine is available but lacks appeal. Staff is friendly & professional. Only negative is the waiting time, even if you call in your order. It's about equal to wait time if you order when you arrive.“

“So I visited Carters Hooka bar & Grill for the first time. I had seen so many good reviews on another site so I decided to give it a try. To say I was underwhelmed wouldn't suffice. The atmosphere was nice, chill little vibe. Good music, good vibes, bad food & Drinks were disgusting. We ordered shrimp & grits, steak & shrimp, 2 blue MF (drinks) & Cajun ranch cheese fries. The grits were under cooked, no seasoning, and tasted like water. We added salt and that didn't help at all. The sausage was burnt and it was a little too done. The shrimp was seasoned but it didn't balance the grits. The steak and shrimp tasted like each other. They didn't have a distinct flavor, it's like they cooked it together. The steak was waaayyy overcooked and the heat wasn't hot enough because the steak didn't have a char on the outside. It was spicy along with the shrimp. It did come with 2 potatoes covered in cheese and a side salad that was mostly tomatoes & cucumbers minimal lettuce. The drinks were not good but not bad. Too much alcohol, the end that's all. I would come back but definitely not for the food.“

“DoorDash!! Hungry and was too lazy to go back out after returning home from work. So, since I enjoyed the last meal from this location, we (my family and I) decided to do a return engagement, so to speak. I ordered the same as before - lemon peppered wings with whiting, and my family members followed suit, ordering the same. It was as good as before. Good meal!!!“
