“Mr. Floyd allegedly a new hire was an example of proper training, whether from home or job orientation. He as respectful, cordial, attentive and sociable; attributes that will take anyone to higher heights. He handled the position like a seasoned professional. Oh!, by the way the food was delicious and cooked to perfection, complements to the kitchen staff. Not to be forgotten, the MOD stopped by our table with greetings.“

“We came for our 37th wedding anniversary. It was our 1st time eating here. Our server was Bishop. Bishop was amazing....staring woth the glass of celebratory champaign, picking a perfect wine pairing, explaining the dishes, great sense of humor....he helped make our experience fun and memorable. The food....OH. MY. GOODNESS!!! The food was amazing. Cooked to perfection! From the bread, Amuse Bouche, appetizer (great fried green tomatoes, by the way!!!) Intermezzo, main course (ribeye and braised rabbit), and dessert with coffee....every step was amazing! A truly wonderful sensual experience from all the aromas, flavors, and ambiance. We will definitely be back, and will definitely recommend Cafe DuPont to others. Thank you for making our celebration special!“

“This place is a hidden gem in Pleasant Grove. 15-20 minutes from Birmingham and with the drive. The owner is so friendly and welcoming. The food is very fresh and delicious, you can tell there's a lot of love put into it. There are American choices for the less adventurous eaters and children's menu, also vegetarian options! My personal favorites are the falafel plate, Greek salad, tahini sauce, hummus and baklava. All homemade! Go try it, you won't be disappointed!“

“This was my first visit, I didn't know what to expect. I got the salad trio and it was delicious! Since you had to order at the counter I didn't expect much BUT the server was so nice, friendly, and helpful as was the person who took our order. We also had a really good dessert. I recommend eating here.“

“Small place, but very nice and they’ve made awesome use of additional outdoor seating. The menu is small, but extremely well thought out and delicious! We had the smash burger and the French dip. Regular fries and the truffle fries, cheese sticks, and a delicious salad. It was 10/10!“

“Great food and atmosphere ! And the Ashley Mac Burger (only served on Friday and Saturday) is well worth the wait !“

“Highly recommend! I used to go there all the time when I worked closer. BEST DRIVE THRU Servies in alabama! The manager super nice and polite. Good food!“

“Excellent cafeteria style food! Love the hamburger steak, the sausage with kraut, and the baked catfish! Always plenty of great sides to go with them. Great food and great people! They've been a staple of Tarrant for at least 30 years, probably longer!“

“I've been driving past this place for months and thought I needed to try it. Today was the day, Chili Cheese dogs for me and Slaw dogs for a co-worker. Fries and Tots too, both of out meals were good, friendly people behind the counter too. Looks like they have a good variety of other standards for this type of small restaurant. I/we'll be back soon. Thanks Guys.“

“Amazing food and great service. 🙂“

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

“Had a rep offer lunch to our office for our Doctors and staff last minute at 5pm. No places would cater for 15 people that last minute, but Urban Cookhouse was up for it with no issues. The food was amazing. Very thankful for you working with us such last minute and will continue to use them (With more notice haha) and support them in the future. Thank you for your hospitality.“

“Very nice place to visit for lunch. Soho Standard have a good menu selection and constantly adding specials everywhere. Customer service is exceptional and very professional. Their shareables nice grab and have a lot of healthy options on their menu.“

“I had the opportunity to patronize Slide Cafe this past weekend. It was Valentine's Day weekend, so I expected a longer wait time. I decided to order on-line to help minimize the wait. My order was placed 10:26 and would be ready by 10:41 a.m. The email stated to come to the pickup counter once my order was ready. I arrived at 10:40 and looked for a pick-up station but I didn't see that area to directly go to. I found an "order here" area with individual kiosks that allowed for ordering prior to sitting. I walked near the bar and was greeted, asked did I have a to-go order and my food was bagged and ready as promised. Service and speed were on point. The previous location was smaller, so I was excited to see the newer location. The popularity of the business has grown in the Birmingham community so it's grand to see the business elevate upward as well! The decor was amazingly designed, with black and white colors with an accent of yellow. This instantly created a warming spirit from within. There was ample seating, some located near the window which I loved. The remaining seating areas were spaced out great and even had a seating in a separate section that could host a wedding party, baby shower or birthday celebration. The restaurant offers a different ordering vibe, as mentioned earlier with the kiosks. There was a host present to assist with menu explanations, suggestions and order processes. I think this is smart, to prevent people from ordering errors and skipped bills, allowing the customer to be directly in charge of what the kitchen sees. There are plenty of options like, sauce on the side, omit and add items during ordering. There are some menu items that are specifically crafted by the chef so no modifications can be made to these items. However, so many items are available that something that may be wanted may be purchase a la carte. The kitchen receives the order electronically and the guest is given a number to place on their table. There are servers to bring the food to the table as well. The owners are the final point of expediting, which is brilliantly done. They provide the final quality control before the meal reaches the guest. This remains me of Gordon Ramsey service because if it doesn't meet Chef Racquel's standards, it's not going out! With a name like Slide Cafe, the menu does include different brunch or lunch slider options, like steak and eggs (steak=brisket), chicken & waffle slider and break-fast slide with bacon and Conecuh sausage! How about a burger, grilled chicken or crab cake slider if breakfast is not on your mind. Omelets, breakfast platters (small or large), seafood options like shrimp or salmon and grits, pork chop & gravy, signature hash skillets topped with various house-made sauces and vegan options as well! Bottled soda, tea and lemonade were available as well as a full bar for mimosas and mixed drinks. They even have a soul food menu on the weekend with whole fried okra, lamb chops, jerk oxtails and more. I think that is perfect to take home if you come to dine in for brunch! Now, let's take about the food. I ordered the Catfish and grits, Chicken and Gravy slider w/ a fried egg and cheese and a House Lemonade. My total was less than $30, which I feel is ok with the amount of food provide. The slider was packaged in a Styrofoam container. The Catfish & Grits were accented nicely with parsley garnish is a plastic meal-prep container, perfect to reuse for something else. The slider, yes, amazing any day. They are called sliders, but they really are sandwiches! The chicken breast was seasoned in and out, fried beautifully, crispy and juicy. The biscuit was definitely homemade and moist, fluffy, yet firm to hold everything together. I ordered the gravy on the side, which came in a 4-6-ounce bowl and used a dunking action to indulge. The gravy is homemade, rich and peppery. 10/10! The lemonade was not just powered Country Time lemonade. There was a real tangy and not overly sweetness to it. I drink some of it down and adde“

“We visited from Texas and were pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere and food at Urban Cookhouse. I’d be curious to try other sandwiches, but would definitely pair it with more broccoli salad.

Parking: I walked up to the restaurant, but I did notice plenty of street parking available.“

“Food is good Fresh as well 10/10“

“Great food and nice outside table area. Attire is dressy casual“

“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.“

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

“The food is great along with the atmosphere. We didn't have to wait on anything the food came out quickly. Devin was out waiter and he was outstanding. He was right there with refills and our food and was just as nice as he could be. We had a wonderful experience and I would recommend it to everyone. Well done“

“Great food and attention to detail. Went above and beyond to accommodate my daughter’s dietary needs. Highly recommend.“

“I love wings plus. Out of all of the Wings joints I've been to Wings Plus in Bluff Park tops them all. I have never had anything less than freshly made delicious food and I don't just order wings. The place is always neat. I know restaurants were hit hard by the pandemic and have a hard time finding people to work. I've never been treated anything less than respectful and kind. The guys in there are great“

“I'd give it 6 stars if I could! I ordered the bacon cheeseburger with fries. Everything was made fresh right after I placed the order. The owner was super friendly and the entire restaurant was clean, including bathroom. Highly recommend!“

“Great place to have an event! Kristin and her staff are awesome! Highly recommend“

“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.“

“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!“

“Our server, Carlos was excellent as was food. But i left unhappy. When my eggs arrived I wanted salt and pepper. The pepper grinder was empty. Carlos was busy with another customer so i asked another server for some pepper and handed him the empty. He said “ok” and went to the server station. He did something at that station for a minute. Then refilled some water glasses. Then took an order. Then delivered food to another table. Meanwhile my eggs were getting cold. I finally got up and took pepper from an empty table. Very frustrating for a server to ignore and blow off a customer simply because they aren't your table.“

“Great atmosphere, super staff, top notch food & drinks!“

“Our family (my husband & I & our three toddlers) was in the area today & were recommended Real & Rosemary for lunch. We had a wonderful experience. The staff was incredibly welcoming & accommodating! The food was absolutely delicious! We will definitely be adding this to our list of favorites in the Birmingham/Homewood area!“

“Absolutely divine food. Very glad we choose to try you. We got take away“

“Amazing atmosphere and the food is so good! 10/10 recommend!! Me and my son loved it!“

“Last week was our first time we went to this good restaurant. But It is surely not the last. We had a good time with the generous service, with the finest cuisine and fine drinks and with the comfortable charge. We will surely go back there in a short time.“

“This restaurant has a nice ambiance being in an older repurposed building downtown. It was a cold evening so we were grateful for the ability of valet parking. The service was friendly and professional. The food choices were varied and all options chosen by our party were prepared well and delicious.“

“Try the philly cheese steak! So good!“
