It’s a great place to take kids because it’s got lots of food they would like (fish tocos, hamburgers, etc) and not too fancy. There’s also a great outdoor patio that we cant wait to try. We’ll be back for sure!“

“My recent visit to Good Friends Chinese & Seafood was a delightful journey into Chinese cuisine. The restaurant's inviting atmosphere set the stage for a satisfying meal. I ordered fried rice, egg rolls, and shrimp, and each dish was a delight. The fried rice was flavorful and perfectly cooked, the egg rolls were crispy and packed with savory fillings, and the shrimp was a succulent and flavorful treat. Good Friends Chinese & Seafood's dedication to authentic Chinese flavors and high-quality ingredients was evident in every dish. The friendly service and the welcoming ambiance added to the overall enjoyable experience. Whether you're a fan of fried rice, egg rolls, shrimp, or simply seeking a taste of China, Good Friends is a must-visit. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to savor more of their delicious offerings!“

“So I visited Carters Hooka bar & Grill for the first time. I had seen so many good reviews on another site so I decided to give it a try. To say I was underwhelmed wouldn't suffice. The atmosphere was nice, chill little vibe. Good music, good vibes, bad food & Drinks were disgusting. We ordered shrimp & grits, steak & shrimp, 2 blue MF (drinks) & Cajun ranch cheese fries. The grits were under cooked, no seasoning, and tasted like water. We added salt and that didn't help at all. The sausage was burnt and it was a little too done. The shrimp was seasoned but it didn't balance the grits. The steak and shrimp tasted like each other. They didn't have a distinct flavor, it's like they cooked it together. The steak was waaayyy overcooked and the heat wasn't hot enough because the steak didn't have a char on the outside. It was spicy along with the shrimp. It did come with 2 potatoes covered in cheese and a side salad that was mostly tomatoes & cucumbers minimal lettuce. The drinks were not good but not bad. Too much alcohol, the end that's all. I would come back but definitely not for the food.“

“Hot and Fresh Food, Superb Menu!“

“Super clean establishment! Fast friendly service and love the specials! 😍 Always something new here to catch my eye.“

“Food was delicious and Brandi was fabulous!“

“They have some of the best food in town. Their fish is simply delicious. You can get family-sized servings for very economical prices. Need a quick DIY self-catering option? Call these folks!

Also, some of the freshest salad you've tried. Hands-down.

I bought a family-pack of fish for guests that I did not know were coming over. I needed a quick solution. The guests loved the food so much, one of them called me weeks later wanting info on the restaurant because she started craving the food.

Then another person who wasn't at my house that day called asking about it too because the guest was talking about their fish being so good😂 You have to try this restaurant ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“All the sandwiches I have tried have been awesome (and huge) but if you haven’t tried The Farmers Daughter, you should! Absolutely out of this world. Nothing like it!“

“The food was excellent plus they have a lot of gluten free options. Recommended!“

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

“The only place we order crawfish from! They are the biggest and the staff is always friendly and delivery for us out of state is always prompt.“

“My first visit at this location and LW wont b last. Unbeknownst to me, kind young man/Ervin opened tle door for me (on a cane etc )then took my food to car. So polite and when I got home I PIGGED OUT! 😋 food was sooooo good and just rite for my palette“

“I was genuinely excited to try this restaurant after passing by it so many times while traveling through Downtown Homewood. Unfortunately, my experience was a bit of a letdown. That said, it wasn’t terrible by any means, which is why I’m giving it 3 stars. A friend and I dined here together as most of my readers know, I often bring someone along for reviews to offer more than just my own perspective. Appetizer: We started with the Tallulah Wings, opting for the Sweet Heat Dry Rub with Alabama White BBQ sauce. The first surprise was that the wings arrived already coated in the sauce. In my opinion, when a sauce is meant as a dip, it’s best served on the side, not as a coating. Unfortunately, the wings themselves were quite underseasoned it reminded me of drinking a LaCroix, with just a faint whisper of the sweet heat flavor. That said, the little flavor I could taste had a nostalgic charm, reminiscent of Golden Flake potato chips and those are undeniably delicious. I just wish the wings had packed more of a punch. Entrée: Next, we tried the Social Stack, essentially their version of a McDonald's Big Mac. I have to say, it was significantly better than a Big Mac. The sauce was flavorful, the patties were fresh and well-seasoned, and everything came together beautifully. It’s a rich burger, but the crispy, seasoned fries helped balance that richness. The freshness and flavor made this burger a standout I’d absolutely order it again. If it weren’t for the disappointing wings, this meal would have earned a solid 4 out of 5 stars. As it stands, I’m giving it 3 out of 5. However, I do plan to return and explore more of their menu. I believe there’s potential here, and I’m hopeful my next visit will be a more satisfying experience.“

“The fried alligator was good. The Gumbo wasn't tasty. But overall the Seafood Boil & Fried Shrimp taste good as well. The atmosphere was fun and lively. I would recommend and I would also go again. The drinks were delicious as well!“

“Just know that you have to be ready to start ordering before you even get to the steam table. They will point at you and ask what meat you want. Be prepared to decide quickly as you go down the line. DO NOT BE ON YOUR PHONE! I know this sounds harsh but this is how they are able get a lot of people fed. They have a large selection and everything is delicious.“

“Amazing flavor! Thought I was just getting short rib takeout. Didn't expect incredible. Tried just one bite in the car before heading home, and ate the whole thing still sitting there! Who knew? I'll be back!“

“My husband and I went here for the first time tonight and had a wonderful time! The food was absolutely delicious and hot. Very flavorful and excellently priced. Our server was also very accommodating! We will be telling all our friends about this place and we will definitely be back!“

“A hidden gem without a doubt!“

“Went to 2 different locations before visiting Prive/Palace. You get entry to the restaurant for free and the club in back for $10. Security will check you before entering and parking spaces were nice.

The bartender was very nice and the people eating were also very nice. We ate wings, fries, catfish nuggets and had some drinks in between visits to the back club“

“. Definitivamente, cuando paso por Cinco de Mayo es imposible no entrar a disfrutar la deliciosa comida que preparan. Las bebidas también son riquísimas y sobre todo la atención. Siempre volveré“

“Good food and service In they nice and clean“

“My wife and I went there and got the Goat Curry and Jerk Chicken - both were EXCELLENT! I had Mac and Cheese for a side - had a different taste than normal, but also very good. Will be back soon!“

“I really enjoy the Fish, shrimps, slaw, okra, fries( normally don't eat fries) Lemonade drinks are the best. It's slower service than what I'm use to, otherwise the batter used on fried foods is delicious. The staff is very kind.“

“Thank you all for accommodating our party of 18 very last minute… These guys are great. Literally called from Logan’s and asked if they’d accommodate our party due to poor service at Logan’s. They said yes come on. We walked across the parking lot walked in stood for less than 5 mins and they had us set up and ready to go. Food was fantastic… All the staff were so friendly.. Our waitress was exceptional. She handled our big crowd perfectly.. Highly recommend trying the fresh guacamole 🤩. If you want good food and good service definitely try them out…“

“All my food was hot everything was right and I had a pretty big order for four I’m pretty sure everyone was satisfied specially for it to be Friday night they made sure the customers were served correctly and on time while cleaning to get out of there I will be “

“Amazing food! Friendly service! Best fried pork chop I’ve ever had.“

“Don’t focus on the 2 stars for atmosphere, unless you’d rather pay for ambience than for good food. The thing that first hooked me on Yoe Express was their coconut soup. Even on that visit I noticed the good price for their lunch specials (which appear to be available at other times as well). So on my next visit I decided to try the black pepper chicken. It was really good, AND the portions of the chicken and the fried rice were large enough that I ate half and took the rest home for dinner. I’ll be back again and again to try the other dishes. Back to the prices - with meal prices going up and up at other restaurants I go to, it’s nice to see Yoe not following suit. You can still get a generous meal of good food for a reasonable price. If you live in Homewood, you owe it to yourself, and to the good folks at Yoe Express, to support this establishment. If you don’t live in Homewood, get in the car and drive there to check it out; it won’t be your last time.“

“The customer service lakeshore location“

“The food is usually always good, hot except the french fries have been old or either sitting out for too long. Other than that the rest of the food I have eaten from here has been excellent. They have given me plenty of napkins and condiments every time I have eaten here. Employees are professional and respectful.“

“I attended a birthday celebration and had an awesome time. The atmosphere was inviting with plenty of seating. The service was fast and friendly...the made you feel welcomed. The food (fried okra) was hot and delicious. Oh, and my drinks (Kettle1,cranberry, and pineapple) were absolutely delicious x3. They were the right temp, evenly mixed, and definitely Not watered down. Everything was cooked to order, so u know it's fresh....All and all everything was great! I would recommend this lounge for meeting up with friends or making new ones!!! It's a great place with a great ambiance, great DJ& music, great service, with great food & libations ?
I give Carters ?????????? with⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️It's a must go to and experience. TTFN ?“

“So happy to have a great wing place in Hueytown. My waist line is in trouble because I have become addicted to their Honey Lemon and Garlic parmesan. The Honey BBQ is delicious to. Making my way through the menu, but definitely a place to try. The customer service is friendly as well.“

“Mariscos estilo Nayarit 🦞“

“There not many Captain D in the metro Birmingham area, but this location is GREAT!! The food is always hot and prepared to order.“

“Steak’s are great and so is the service.“
