“It was a great Winery while it lasted. Sad to see it go!“

“Love all of them who are working“

“10/10 recommend. We had the best experience here. The food was all perfect, but the staff made the difference. Particularly FOH member Don and waitress Stephanie. Above and beyond.“

“We stopped here to eat before going to Polar Express in Calera....definitely a great decision! Never heard of it before but it was close so we gave it a shot. Casual and bar type atmosphere, pool tables, and great tasting food! I recommend the Avocado Chicken (fried) and the fries are AWESOME! We will make a special trip from Blount county to come back!“

“The last two years, all the Milo locations I’ve visited have really gone downhill. Nothing like the previous decades. Shame! Staff at Calera was non responsive. Cahaba heights , burgers were dried out like they had been sitting and fries as well. Sorry to say that too many of this experience for me to go back.“

“Me and my best friend go to Waffle House probably weekly, and each week we have an amazing waitress named Mary! She is so kind, accommodating, and always makes sure everything is exactly how we wish it to be. We accidentally left our to go order on the table and when we came back about 20 minutes later for it the other workers said it was thrown away. Mary said she tried to catch us and put it on a table for us to grab! She is very great and I recommend this location and ask for Mary!“

“Great birria, I tried birria tacos and instant noddles with birria, both definitely recommended I'll go again and try the pizza birria as well, even tho the place is inside of a gas station, was neat clean every table, and staff just nice, food is cheap“

“Only complaint about whole experience is that they ran out of silverware so we got our food and had to wait till they cleaned some silverware, other than that food was exceptionally good and service was good only had to wait 30min which was understandable on a Saturday night, was very impressed for first time going to this restaurant. Will definitely be returning.“

“The first time I was a student was in 1996, and I’m finally going to graduate in 2025. The Anna Irving dining hall is much more light and airy now than it was then. It was all dark wood panel. I was amazed at the quality of food and I actually look forward to eating there again.“

“I watched one of the workers fixed my food right after coming for me and will smoke and cigarette and then use gloves or wash their hands.This place.I will not recommend anybody go.This is the worst sneaky piece.I have ever been to but if you're nasty and like nastiness go ahead and go be my quest“

“Really great home cooking!!! We have enjoyed the food every time. So much better than fast food!“
