“Enjoyed a great breakfast today! Our server was super friendly and efficient. Coffee was hot and fresh and remained full for our whole visit! Meal was delicious and cooked just like we expected! Definitely the best breakfast in town. We will be back!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Cute little place. We stopped by for lunch. Found several gluten free options, settled on a chicken feta rice dish that was good. I got fruit on side and it was very fresh and tasty, my kids would definitely approve the fruit (grapes, oranges, apples). Very family friendly! They also had casseroles and things to go. Very cool place!“

“What a staff, Leslie , Lizzy and Monty killing it today .“

“Breakfast was great and prices nice .“

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

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Met for a Birthday Dinner for my wife and daughter, yes they have the same Birthday. No wait for a booth in the Tavern. We took it, table was being cleaned off. I asked if we could have that booth when she finished, she said yes of course. We ordered steak, French onion soup, crab dip, burgers, chicken sandwich. Everything was perfect, what I was not prepared for was Paige T, she was spot on, anticipating our every need. Absolutely pleasant to speak to and watch her work the tables around us. She is Good Really Good!!!!! She made our night and hour and half drive home worth the trip. Great Job Paige!!!! Atta Girl for you. We will definitely be back.“

“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!!!!“

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

“Great service and food is always good.“

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

“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!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“So glad we stumbled on this place. We normally aren't in this are because we live in gadsden but my husband had an appointment and happen to pick a spot on maps and will definitely go back. Our server was so fun and happy to be there;That really matters. She made it that much more of an amazing visit. They had a baseball team there and she was on top of our drinks and kept apologizing for our wait but we aren't those people who walk in and think. It's only the two of us, we should be first. No way. Food was great and its very clean in there. Go if you want a good experience. I know it was our waitresses birthday and would of bought her a drink if we could of. Thank you 😊“

“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!“

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

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

“The manager, Art , noticed that I seemed to be chilly and was hugging myself . I was seated under an air-conditioning vent and he came over and told me he had adjusted the thermostat and offered me a shawl which turned out to be soft, black and lovely and made all the difference so that my meal was quite enjoyable. I've never had such personal attention and I loved it!“

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

“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!“

“Exactly what we were looking for! My boyfriend and I love to go to nice restaurants where we can sit down have a nice drink along with a great atmosphere. Bricktops absolutely brought all of that! We ordered the ribeye & filet mignon and it was cooked to PERFECTION! Cooked to medium rare, it was so tender and delicious! Our waitress, Ella, was extremely kind, friendly, and attentive. She deserves a huge shout out for having exemplary service. We will definitely be coming back!!“

“Milo’s Hamburgers is a Birmingham staple that represents classic Alabama fast food at its best. It’s not flashy or complicated—just consistent, comforting, and unmistakably local. The burgers are thin, juicy, and drenched in Milo’s signature sweet-and-tangy sauce, a flavor that instantly sets it apart from national chains. It’s messy, nostalgic, and exactly what longtime fans expect.

The crinkle-cut fries are crispy and salty, making them the perfect side, and Milo’s sweet tea is almost as famous as the burgers themselves—strong, sweet, and refreshing. The menu stays simple, which keeps service fast and efficient, even during busy lunch hours. The casual, no-frills atmosphere makes it an easy stop whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or sitting down for a relaxed meal.“

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

“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!“
