American Restaurants near Fultondale

“everything, the food, the atmosphere, the employees, cleanliness of the restaurant, and all the managers are top notch“

“Was not treated well by person at bar. Steak was way under cooked and nobody cared. Will not dine there again“

“First time at a Bo Jangles... and I wasn't disappointed.
We received excellent service from Laura (I believe it was on April 12th during lunch. She went above and beyond, which is refreshing (and rare) to see. We will be back because of our great experience.“

“We went bc it was the only place open. We haven't been to this location before but we swore off Applebee's well over a decade ago after giving them several chances to redeem themselves. We didn't have high expectations at all but the server was great, everything came pretty quick, it was all hot AND tasted great. We were pleasantly surprised. And the bill was about 30% less than anywhere else we would have gone to sit down. Only thing I could say needs work is the actual physical restaurant itself. You can tell it's been there awhile and the carpet is yucky looking. Repairs and remodel are definitely needed. But we even said we would go back again soon and it's been almost 20 yrs since we've declared that in reference to this place. All 5 of us ate at around 12$/ea, before tip.“

“I called prior to heading to the location . I was told order would be ready in 10 minutes . I headed over to pick up my order due to me being more than 20 minutes away . I get there and still have to wait 20 minutes for my order . I had to ask for Ranch and Celery that is supposed to come with it . Had to wait for them to get some ready . Mind you my order was placed on Wednesday. I requested all of this with my order. They gotta do better with this . I don’t like the fact that your advertised price is $39.99 then you add 8.51 for getting traditional chicken wings . Nowhere does it say there will be an up charge for ordering traditional wings . $53. 35 was my total .“

“I'm not from this area but I am from Alabama and have eaten at a many of these restaurants from West Texas to Niagara Falls! I felt bad this particular visit because I was asking for substitutions, additions, and Exactly how I wanted my hashbrowns! The 2 gentleman never sighed, raised a brow, or got upset..The 2 , Cook and Server, performed as if I were the D.M. or w/Cooperate! I don't know if I have Ever had a "NO COMPLAINT " Experience from this franchise or the other ones similar to, but it was PERFECT! From the greeting to the last bite! It would have been nice to dine in but for whatever reason, I was unable to just like the others who came while I was there. Thanks! I Highly recommend this location.“

“It’s super dark inside. A lot of tables were dirty.. service took a minute to come and it was a little awkward if I’m being completely honest. But the food was really good! I was hesitant because of the bad reviews but everything was hot and fresh.“

“This was our first time and it was absolutely excellent from start to finish! The manager, Brandon, was SO genuinely welcoming and accommodating. Our server, Parker, was flawless and so much fun (request him!). Every dish was perfectly cooked, refined and full of flavor (smoked salmon, fried green tomatoes, fried oysters, rainbow trout, swordfish with andouille, ribeye with truffle fondue). The cocktails and wine all perfect. Will definitely return and want to thank Blueprint for a truly wonderful experience!“

“I’ve been avoiding posting this review, but it wouldn’t be fair to others if I didn’t. I know I’ll probably catch some flack or criticism for it, but it is what it is. I don’t get paid for this. I don’t receive free food. I experience these restaurants just like any other customer, from the moment I walk in to the moment I leave. That being said, here’s my honest review of Yo’ Mama’s! I went here with friends and family for lunch, and my first impression was great. The restaurant was very clean, and the staff was friendly and efficient. To start on a positive note, everyone else in my group really enjoyed their food. They said the fish was well-seasoned and delicious, and they had no complaints. Unfortunately, I wasn’t as lucky. I ordered the fried chicken and waffles, and while it looked absolutely delicious, the taste didn’t match the appearance. Let’s start with the chicken. It was fried to perfection crispy on the outside, juicy and tender inside, practically falling off the bone. No issues there. However, the biggest problem was the complete lack of seasoning. It tasted like it was simply floured and fried no salt, no pepper, nothing. I was so disappointed that I couldn’t even finish it and ended up giving it away. As for the waffle, it was cooked beautifully crispy on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside. It was good, but unfortunately, syrup didn’t seem to be an option. Instead, I was given something that resembled honey butter but had a strange, fruity taste and a gritty texture, which threw it off for me. Had I just received regular syrup, I think I would have enjoyed it much more. Now, let me be clear I hate that I even have to say this but this review is not meant to bash or tear down a Black-owned business. I was genuinely excited to try this place, only to walk away feeling let down. This is why I always try to dine with others when I do reviews to get a well rounded perspective. I had three other people with me, and they all enjoyed their meals. Unfortunately, I just drew the short straw that day. Final thoughts: Based on my personal experience, I’d have to rate my meal 5/10 not because the food wasn’t cooked well, but because key elements of flavor were missing. That said, would I return? Yes. The food was prepared properly, and the restaurant itself had a great atmosphere. They just missed the mark on seasoning, which is crucial. I’d still encourage others to check this place out. Every dining experience is different, and just because mine wasn’t great doesn’t mean yours won’t be. Hopefully, if I visit again, my experience will be much better!“

“We dined here last night and I must say I was very pleased. I ordered the fried green tomatoes as a starter. The dish was perfectly plated and the taste was spectacular! The sourdough bread brought to us prior to ordering was also very delicious.

I ordered the scallops for my main course and that too was very tasty and beautifully plated.

For dessert, the beignets, which was the best I have ever tasted. Better than Nalins:)

Our server (forgot his name) was perfectly on point. The atmosphere was warm and cozy.

We enjoyed our dining experience and look forward to returning when back in Birmingham.“

“Great place to eat! And great environment!! 5 star!“

“Stopped by this place because it was close to the BJCC while taking the Bar Exam.

I was pleasantly surprised how awesome this place is! I chose the sirloin burger with chips. I would have posted a photo, but I ate everything too quickly 🙂 so check this place out for yourself!

Fantastic service, delicious food and awesome location!!“

“Very good place and friendly staff.“

“Locally owned, hole in the wall venue, friendly service, amazing breakfast! Highly recommend anyone in the area to stop by and visit at least once. The fried pork chop and egg breakfast is second to none. The western or meat lovers omelette is absolutely delicious! The French toast is not for the diabetic with its extremely flavorful cinnamon and powdered sugar topping. Another recommended breakfast choice is asking for grilled toast, you'll think me later!
If you live close or traveling through, you need to visit our friends over at the cedar house and experience the local food!“

“Gus' Hot Dogs has survived for a long time and it's because of the loyalty of the many patrons. The menu offers many options and all is delicious! The chili dog is unique as the chili looks like beef dog sauce but it has a rich, chili flavor. Please try one or many!!“

“I am so happy that Zoes Kitchen BHM is back! All of the original menu items are available. Had lunch there this week and enjoyed the Grilled Chicken Pita with Slaw and extra slaw for my side—thought I had died and gone to Heaven!“

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

“Fantastic server, great atmosphere.“

“Nice restaurant. You will spend about $12-13 for a plate and drink. I got the braised pork plate with the hot cheddar pasta, bread, and broccoli salad. The pasta was really good and cheesy. The servers were very friendly. It's by the federal reserve. It's cool because the bathroom entrance was the old vault. Indoor and outdoor seating available. The wait time for the food wasn't long at all; they got our food out within minutes.“

“I’m a trucker and I’ve been to this place 2 times. N this is some good eating.“

“Try the philly cheese steak! So good!“

“Everything I had was great and fresh the atmosphere and energy was amazing I’ll definitely be back“

“Let me start off by saying that these have got to be the messiest burgers on the planet. But.... they are well worth every napkin that you will use. I got the biggest burger that they offer, and let me tell you, I can eat, but I could barely find the room to eat half of it. It was so good. I highly recommend Hamburger Heaven. They are an icon in the Gardendale area. Oh, and their shakes are really good also.“

“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.“

“Breakfast was great and prices nice .“

“My wife recently had an overnight procedure at UAB, so we looked up Cajun restaurants in the area and this was the closest to us. I’ve been to NOLA countless times over the years and I’m here to say, every morsel of food we ate at this place was hands down better than anything I’ve ever had in NOLA. I love spicy food and everything was seasoned to perfection. I honestly can’t say enough great things about this hidden gem. Super friendly staff, excellent food and great atmosphere. We live in North AL and I would definitely drive the hour south just to go eat here again. It was absolutely amazing. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!“

“Had dinner here last night for the first time with my hubby and we loved it! Andy took great care of us even though he had a full bar and we were sitting at a table. The food was fantastic. I had the sea bass, which had a delightful crispy sear but was not at all overcooked. Also a great price for sea bass! My husband got the burger and loved it. He doesn’t get excited about food like I do, but said “mmm, this is a really good burger” at least 4 times while eating it. If you know him like I do, you know he was impressed. Lol. We also enjoyed a very nice Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc, which I was thrilled to see by the glass. The GM came over and talked to us for a while also, allowing me to rave to him about how much we enjoyed everything. A great experience, and a great value. We will DEFINITELY be back!!“

“Fun place with friendly staff.“

“Excellent staff and superb menu!! Highly recommend!!“

“Enjoyed our meal! Nice change from our usual places.“

“Great food, fabulous service, and friendly faces! And, they stay open later!“

“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“

“It was my very first time here and the service was amazing, I can’t wait to come back and bring me family.“

“I've been eating Sneaky Pete's hotdog since I was a little kid. The food is great, but it's much more than that. It's more than just a hot dog restaurant, it's a Birmingham icon. Everyone from here and travels through here should have a Sneaky Pete's hot dog.“

“This is a hidden gem. I'd give more than 5 stars if they were available. We looked at the menu on line and there were atypical offerings that attracted us. The food was excellent. My wife and I shared the beef steak tartare appetizer. It was a different presentation, but each bite was better than the one before. She then had the snapper in banana leaves with a side of sweet potatoes, and I had the duck breast with a papaya salad and sambal. Both portions were ample and we skipped dessert. A sign of a great chef is when food needs no added seasoning. None needed any. They also have an excellent wine selection. My only negative, which I make everywhere, is the noise level.“

“We had a wonderful time at the Collard Green Cook-off. The venue, the people, the food, were all excellent t. Such courteous people. My daughter and granddaughter and I really enjoyed it. My granddaughter, Dani, sings with the Alabama Blues Project, thst entertained the crowd. Awesome day!“

“I had the Ahki’s 2 Meat Large Platter with chicken and lamb over rice, and it was fantastic! The meats were tender and flavorful, perfectly paired with the White Magic and Spicy Don't Play With Me sauces. The White Magic added a creamy, tangy touch, while the Spicy sauce brought just the right amount of heat. The portion size was generous, and every bite was delicious. The service was great, and the flavors were on point. Highly recommend Ahki’s for an unforgettable meal!“

“Being from this side of town, I'm glad to find a place to eat that reminds me of where and how I grew up. When I get a feen for a down home hot dog or cheese burger, I've always been able to get it here. I've always been met by the staff with a super friendly 'Hey baby, whatchu gone have'. .. reminds me of my big mama.... I love them deeply for being my conduit to my maternal past. The
dogs are always perfect and hit the spot....bag of chips and cold soda and I'm good for the day. And I've never been in line more than 7 minutes. Much love for the small business feel.“

“Look past where this place is, it's Birmingham, the whole place sucks, just focus on what you're ordering and don't hand out change. It'll start a feeding frenzy with the locals. Good food from a slept on eatery. Lock your doors when you go in.“

“I will post a picture later, the food is gone before I remember to pic it. ??The food reminds you of your grandmother's cooking. She has pork chop sandwiches, bacon, egg, and cheese biscuits and sandwiches, waffles, orange juice, coffee, and foundation sodas. The place is nice and airy. The extra large windows allow the natural light to brighten up the restaurant. A small to large crowd can be accommodated. Stop by one morning for a treat. I am a regular now and so is my son. ?“

“Highlands Bar and Grill is a culinary masterpiece in Birmingham. From the moment you enter, you’re greeted with warmth and elegance. The menu is a celebration of Southern cuisine with a modern twist. Each dish is a work of art, featuring locally sourced ingredients bursting with flavor. The service is impeccable, and the wine list is extensive. Dining here is an experience that tantalizes the taste buds and nourishes the soul. If you appreciate fine dining and Southern hospitality, Highlands Bar and Grill is a must-visit in Birmingham.“

“All-time new favorite place! Can’t say enough great things—beautiful, dreamy atmosphere that feels like you drifted into a European country cottage with lush, greenery everywhere: friendly, attentive staff; refreshing cocktails; food was to die for, bold, rich flavors, especially the crab cakes and burger! 10/10“

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

“Hot and Fresh Food, Superb Menu!“

“Amazing food and great service. 🙂“

“Nobody toots the O’Carrs horn enough! They are faster than a drive through, over and beyond service, friendly, consistent. I get the same thing every time—the chicken salad fruit plate for my dad and a cup of soup for myself and a half-and-half tea. Best little lunch ever.“

“Fantastic meal and drinks!“

“Consistently good food at a reasonable price.“

“It had been a long time since we had a sneaky Pete's hot dog, so, we stopped at a drive thru at Forestdale. I got two chili cheese 🧀 dogs with fries 🍟, my wife got two sneaky Pete's, and i ate one.of them! They were really good and the 🍟 were hot 🔥 it was just a good lunch! People at.the window were very nice and I could see inside the kitchen, my truck sits really high, it.was.very clean. Give sneaky Pete's a try, I think you will enjoy it! Nuff said..“
