“Great late night experience!! Even though we were the only customers, we were greeted by Miss Mariah. She has amazing customer service and such a great attitude! And the cook Miss D was quick and accurate getting our food prepared. I will happily return with these excellent ladies on the clock!“

“Great menu. Have enjoyed everything I’ve tried there. Excellent service today by Thomas!“

“Don’t really do hot dogs from a b&m especially when I’m on the road for work. (On the road as I live in Florida) But today I was. I stopped to get gas and decided I wanted hot dogs and lord did god answer me lol I saw the sign for sneaky Pete’s and decided to give them a try. If I’m being honest I really didn’t have high hopes or expectations for them. I couldn’t have been more wrong. The pricing and menu options were absolutely amazing considering that they specialize in hotdogs. They also had burgers which looked out of this world. I got the 2 spicy Pete’s and another one I don’t remember the name but it had EVERYTHING on there and let me tell you. These were the best hotdogs I’ve ever had in my life. Not over or under cooked. Fresh. Ingredients were quality and flavorful. If you’re just passing through or live in the area and don’t feel like cooking or want hotdogs, I whole heartedly suggest coming to sneaky Pete’s. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed. If I’m ever in the area again, this’ll be the first place I stop.“

“They have the friendliest drive through staff and super fast!! I have been one time at lunch where I had to wait on chicken, but a large group had come in before me. Love their biscuits-Cajun filet with pimento cheese is so good! Thank you!“

“Chance was good and the food was great!“

“We love Oak House! Amazing food and atmosphere. It’s our go to date night spot since moving to the area.“

“Big Whiskeys is a new addition for the family. From the kid friendly venue to the delicious food we enjoyed our experience. JP is phenomenal and accommodated our children and knew the menu extensively. With service and a venue like Big Whiskeys on 280 there will be a high standard for burgers alike.“

“Longtime family favorite! Ashley Mac's has been a part of our family meals for so long and is so well loved that my oldest son has asked if I'm going to send the poppyseed chicken with him when I send him meals and care packages for college! He's only in 10th grade, but he's already thinking about how he can make sure he doesn't miss out on poppyseed chicken night!“

“The Baby Bleu salad is hands down the best salad on their menu. A sweet dressing, citrus from the oranges, creamy tangy from the cheese, sweet crunch from the sugared almonds…. Phew! Perfect balance!!! And the little sour cream biscuits are always moist!!“

“Breakfast was great and prices nice .“

“Exquisite community, exceptional homes. Especially one revisioned by master remodeler, Jason Thomas 👌“

“We visited village Tavern to celebrate a friend's movie premiere & this place had excellent customer service & the waiters Courtney & Demarco were top teir. I would recommend any group to consider going to this restaurants for your next occasion!“

“Great food and a fancy experience that is very high touch and low worry!“

“Ate here for the first time today. It was very fresh and delicious! Restaurant was very clean also. We will be back to try the delicious custard.“

“Quite possibly the best fried chicken I've had. Picked some up for lunch, grabbed the boom boom sauce for the name alone. Turned out to be a game changer for me. Fries weren't anything to write home about, but they rarely are. The only downside about eating this is knowing I can't get it back in Atlanta.“

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

“Grilled or fried Chicken salad is the best!! Kids love the ice cream too!! Good gravy biscuits and fun signs to read!“

“The food is certainly good, but I definitely don’t recommend the Down Home. It’s an insultingly tiny amount of food. My wife and I both laughed when the server set it down in front of me—$13 for a main course smaller than most appetizers.“

“Great service and food is always good.“

“East 59 Cafe in Lee Branch is my favorite spot for a coffee, lunch or even alone time. I have had several birthday parties held here and will continue to go to them. Thank you always for the kindness shown to my son, daughter and I. All the best!“

“On Saturday, April 5, 2025, I had my retirement dinner at Culinary Dropout. There were twenty people in my party. Our server Natalie was a "little dynamo". Even the restaurant was crowded due prom season, she got all drink orders promptly. The starters orders arrived soon after. Then the entrees. She was there for drink refills and other requests. She handled the situation with grace, kindness and professionalism. Her and the other wait staff were truly exceptional. The bartenders got drink orders promptly and made to protection. They made my 25 year retirement celebration truly awesome! I will definitely book any future events with this amazing restaurant. Kudos!!!!“

“I went there for the first time today,I enjoyed a delightful mimosa and had the most amazing breakfast sandwiches in my entire life! The service,atmosphere,and food is amazing!!“

“I have been three times and every visit has been wonderful. The food is incredible, reasonably priced, and changes seasonally. Today I got the Mediterranean grilled chicken salad and it was the best grilled chicken I’ve ever had. Love this place!“

“The food is great and so is the service! We visit frequently to catch up with friends and clients.“

“Love observing people bring their vision and craft to life. The atmosphere, team, and food they’ve passionately brought to life in this space is inspiring.“

We sat in the patio with our little guy Tommy (miniature schnauzer) and Karlee provider and excellent experience for us throughout the night! The entire staff is fantastic and the food was excellent!! Wings and sauces are top notch plus the burger was incredible!! Drinks above expectations and the beers were cold, fresh and tasty!!!! Highly recommend and definitely a must try!!! Thank you all for the excellent service and kindness throughout our experience!!“

“Great place to meet friends or take the family. Love their wings, burgers, and queso. Atmosphere makes me think of an Irish pub. Great waitstaff. Very friendly. Always on my list of hangouts!“

“Favorite place of ours to spend a Friday or Saturday night! Great bar tenders and great company!“

“We ate here for the 2nd time today. Great food, drinks, and service. Definitely a preference when passing through the area.“

“Tasha and Julia (I hope I’m spelling their names correctly) were phenomenal last night. Very kind and quick service despite how busy they were late last night. They were soooo efficient and crushed it all by themselves, very impressive! Food was wonderful, best bacon I’ve had in awhile…Thank you Tasha and Julia!“

“my boyfriend & i ate lunch and had a great experience. the waitress was very friendly and extremely fast and helpful. we will be back.“

“The Homewood location is fantastic. Food was great, quick service, extremely clean and tidy! I had only ever been to Irondale, but we were in the area and decided to stop in for lunch. The customer service was top notch!“

“I usually go through the drive thru, but as I brought a guest with me I decided to go inside to dine. Food was on point as usual, just that the scent of the restaurant as if it hadn't been cleaned. It wasn't the aroma of the meals being prepared. It looked clean, but a deep cleaning was needed. My guest raised it with me as well so it wasn't only me.“

“Amazing restaurant! Food was unbelievable and the staff were top-notch. I highly recommend the Prime Rib. Probably the best cut I have had in Birmingham. The filet mignon was also excellent. If you like lobster bisque—definitely some of the best!“

“Nasty bathrooms. Plus the service was lacking. She looked like it was her accident“

“Breakfast always good and prompt. Coffee is hot and plentiful. Service is 5 star. Highly recommend Rebecca Whitmire!“

“Best pork-chop EVER!! And our server Mary Kay gave us top notch service! She was truly Amazing!“

“Just moved to Alabama from Florida. What a wonderful find this Cheesecake Factory was. As much as we love Southern Cooking here in Alabama, there is just so much Fried Food and BBQ a person can eat. Cheesecake Factory has an amazing variety of food and every Cheesecake Factory restaurant we have eaten in are always consistent. I’ll give this Bham find five stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We stoped in for dinner after work and were immediately seated and the server was very attentive. I got the ribeye with a side salad and broccoli. The food came out pretty quick and it was very good! I would definitely come back in the future!“
