“Great place to do Pilates 💛“

“My daughter lost her baby doll's pacifier and when my wife called to ask if they had seen it the owner personally turned the store upside down looking for it, even going so far as to personally check trash cans, and review video. He later called my wife and confirmed that he saw my daughter leave with it on the video and we later found it fell off in the car. Great ice cream and even better service!! Proud to support such a family friendly small business! ?“

“We stopped by this Jeni’s location on a Friday night and the line was LONG. Despite that, the two employees were, admirably, able to get through everyone in a very timely manner. The ice cream was amazing as always. Super cute decor inside!

Ooey Gooey Butter Cake: 10/10
The best Jeni’s flavor!

Bastani Sonnati: 6/10
A very unique, seasonal flavor featuring saffron, rose, and pistachio. The ice cream itself was pretty good, but the pistachio left a bit of a strange aftertaste that really ruined it. Would not get this again.

Parking: This strip mall has its own lot with ample parking. There are plenty of stores and great restaurants to try nearby“

“If you are looking for someone with great customer service and great ice cream, this is your person. Mario’s ice cream has provided the best customer service and ice cream that I have ever received. He is great for events and parties. You will not be disappointed.“

“The Spun Cow is a treat. They have a variety of sweets to cure your cravings. I opted for a warmed up cinnamon roll, for which I was told are BAKE DAILY. I added strawberry sauce to mine…just because. The gentleman who helped me was friendly, courteous and very welcoming.“

“BBQ sandwiches were really good. Next time I’ll know to ask for extra pickles, since they each only had 1. They were still very tasty, however. My husband was disappointed with the “jumbo” swiss burger. It used to be his favorite but he swears it’s smaller now. (It very well may be the same size it’s always been, as he does tend to be dramatic, but he’s mine and I love him.) I also ordered a BLT (delicious!) and an order of both types of fries and they were great. The BLT had plenty of B, could have used more L, and ample T. (Mayo was on point but it isn’t called a BLTM, so….) Overall, I’m very satisfied and will definitely start eating there more often, again. The staff was wonderful, and the prices aren’t bad, either.

Vegetarian options: They have “vegetables”, as in sides, and also salad, but it’s a BBQ joint so….

Kid-friendliness: Kids meals are available for ages 10&up.“

“De vez en cuando, hace falta darse un gustito y por eso voy a la Nueva Michoacana. Me encantan las aguas que preparan ahí. Ven y compruébalo.“

“Great food. Aguas and ice cream!“

“If you're looking to lose a few pounds or if you are on a strict diet, then do yourself a favor and stay away! This place is absolutely incredible as well as highly addictive!
5-STARS!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must try and try some more!! New items on the menu each week!“

“I love going to this Crumbl when we are in the area. It became part of our routine during the time my son was going through treatment for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma at Children’s. We have continued the trips to get Crumbl cookies, cakes and pies when we are in town for checkups. This store is always clean, friendly, and the treats are top notch!! We are always super satisfied with what we get from here!“

“Friendly Atmosphere. Helpful Sales Associates“

“Cookie Fix has the best cookies I have ever had and I'm not kidding. These fresh baked cookies were not overly soft and the flavors were popping. Everyone loved the cookies that I got for them and said the same about them being the best cookies ever.The location is always rotating different flavors so definitely cthem out to figure out what flavors they have in stock!I tried the salted dark chocolate caramel and it was absolutely delectable! It was perfectly sweet and you could taste the vanilla in the batter too, mouth watering.I also had an oatmeal mixed with sugar coookie and it was do good!Unfortunately for this place a majority of the cookies contain nuts.

Dietary restrictions: A majority of the cookies contain nuts.“

“I absolutely love this place. I remember a couple years ago my siblings forgot what flavor snow cone I wanted so they got me frog in a blender now I get it every time who knew forgetfulness could be delicious. It's not just the snow cones it's also the food. Their pretzels, funnel cakes, and nachos are the only food I've had from there but I loved all of them. I always ask my mom if we can get sno daze after school. The only problem is it takes kinda long sometimes but personally I say it's worth the wait. Yummyyyyy“

“The apple cobbler is by far the best! we are always greeted with a friendly smile followed by a great conversation! I have loved absolutely everything that I have ever gotten from here!“

“Breakfast was great and prices nice .“

“Amazing customer service!! Always has a smile on his face!“

“Great food and a great atmosphere along with speedy service-what more does anyone need??“

“Oh yeah this the spot right here. I greeted the folks up front and they were patient with explaining what things were and even offered me another option even though I was content. I appreciate that education!

I waited about 10 minutes for my food and it was so pleasant when I got it! The presentation, the temperature, the quality… I really enjoyed that food. And it didn’t get really messy. The fries oowee, weren’t over salted either. And the tenderness and crisp of the catfish was exactly as it needed to be.

Can’t forget about the collard greens. They were a good balance between bitter and tart and then sweet. I haven’t had greens like that in a minute and it was a pleasant surprise.

Thank y’all and I look forward to returning one day.

This place is located in a food hall, so you even have the option to sit in other places and see screens with tv showings, or combining another restaurant’s food together with your meal.

Vegetarian options: Their collard greens are good.“

“Decided to take a last minute trip to Birmingham this weekend and wanted to try this place. Can’t recommend them enough! The customer service was phenomenal and automatically makes you want to go back. And to top it off, the cookies were so fresh and warm. Absolutely a place I will be visiting. Your day time employees deserve a raise! 😜“

“Wasn't able to order a cookie cake at Galleria location, so I tried this location. The manager was extremely nice and welcoming - she was able to get me exactly what I wanted! I will ALWAYS use this location from now on. Seems as if all the staff are so nice too!“

“Yogurt Mountain in Gardendale is clean and organized, they have sanitizer readily available for customers to use, and the staff is excellent. My oldest daughter's yogurt got spilled and the girl who was working came over immediately to help clean up the mess. She also offered to let my daughter get more yogurt. ❤ There were several flavor options, including mixes. The topping selection was endless and the bar was well stocked. I was impressed that they had fresh cut fruit as well. They truly have set the bar high at this location.“

“I went through the drive through so I'm not going to count off on atmosphere; they really can't do anything if I don't like being in my truck. Food is good enough that I come back repeatedly. Cheaper and better than McBroken Ice Cream machine. I'll be back again, and again, and again....“

“El Sazón de Don Tacho es único y delicioso. 100% Recomendado! Las Cucarachas, La Margarita De Fresa, La Hamburguesa Mexican y El Esquite!“
