“Shoutout to Zaxby’s in Fultondale. I went to get food for the ER and CICU at Brookwood Hospital to thank them for taking good care of my husband Hewey Lawson. The best customer service and they all wished him a speedy recovery. Caring people❤️ They even remembered me when I came back to get dinner for the family since it smelled so good!“

“This past Saturday, I treated myself to a me date a day dedicated entirely to myself. After indulging in a relaxing one-hour massage, I found myself absolutely starving. Wanting to try something new, I continued my exploration of Homewood’s restaurant scene and landed on The Battery. I met my aunt there for lunch, and as soon as we arrived, I knew we were in for a treat. The place was packed inside and out which is usually a great sign. After about a 15 minute wait, we were seated. The interior had a modern, inviting atmosphere, and the service was excellent. Our waiter was incredibly kind, answered all of my questions, and I never once had to ask for a refill. Despite the restaurant being full, the service was impressively quick, and every dish arrived hot. Appetizers Buffalo Wings – The wings were well-sauced and smoked to perfection, with the meat falling off the bone effortlessly. However, the biggest letdown was the lack of seasoning. While the smoky flavor was great, the wings themselves needed more depth. 7.9/10 (With proper seasoning, this would easily be in the high 8s or even a 9). Queso & Chips – The chips were fresh, crunchy, and unseasoned but still did the job. The queso had potential, but it lacked the bold flavors needed to truly stand out. It wasn’t bad, but it could have been much better. 6/10 Entrées & Sides Wedge Salad – The salad itself was solid, but the bacon was a miss. It had an overpowering liquid smoke taste, leaving a strange aftertaste and smell. 7/10 Fries – These were outstanding hot, crispy, and well-seasoned. I also appreciated the variety of cuts and shapes. 8.5/10 Smash Burger – A well-executed smash burger with that signature crispy edge and juicy interior. However, the meat itself wasn’t seasoned, which held it back from being exceptional. 8/10 Final Thoughts Overall, The Battery was a great experience, and I’d happily return. The biggest downside was the lack of seasoning across multiple dishes. If they improved that, their food would easily score even higher. That said, I still highly recommend trying this place. Final Rating: 8/10 Service: 10/10 – Absolutely fantastic staff! Would I go back? Without a doubt.“

“It was my very first time here and the service was amazing, I can’t wait to come back and bring me family.“
“Staying at the UAB Hilton and went down for breakfast. Synetric greeted me and asked me how I was doing, told me about the breakfast buffet (which was a nice quality and selection of eggs, sausage, bacon, fresh fruit, grits, oatmeal & pastries) and was able to get me my coffee to go. The other staff working was also pleasant.“

“I had a great first experience. Kayla was Awesome! I was about to let the third person go ahead of me because I didn't know how or what to order. Kayla encouraged me to go ahead and order that she would assist me. She was patient and guided me in creating a chef kiss bowl that was wonderful!! She gave me a "My pleasure" experience. I will definitely be back, thanks Kayla!“

“My bestie and I visited here on our way to an event. I've been hooked ever since. I love the different healthy options available and that you can fully customize your experience. It would help to browse the menu before going so you don't hold up the line during busier times. I think in this day I opted for a veggie bowl. But I've also had the chicken grain and green bowl as well as the falafel and all were great. The pita chips are a must try! They are so addictive! I also love the free parking deck and the digital drive-through on those days when I just want to grab and go.“

“Majestic Pies is my favorite pizza place ever, and I'm so happy they provided the pizza for our wedding day! We had multiple guests tell us afterwards that it was the best pizza they had ever had! If you would like to experience wonderful food, atmosphere, and service, be sure to visit Majestic Pies!“

“Absolutely fantastic! The food is so delicious. The service was good. The ambiance from the candles is delightful. It's possibly the best rustic pizza I have ever had (& that's saying a lot. I know food at 6 foot 250lbs.) The garlic bread is also fantastic. The photo shows the cheese version, but we had both, and either way, it is great!
We will definitely come here any time we are in town.
Parking: Outdoor covered seating available and indoor tables.
Kid-friendliness: People were there with kids.“

“Great spot for lunch! I love that it offers something unique compared to other downtown restaurants. The service is fast and friendly, and they’ve recently added some great new items to the menu. Portions are generous and you definitely won’t leave hungry.“

“UAB location is awesome. I have visited this located several times and always clean, friendly, and food always good. I normally do online order and my order always ready when I arrive. I ate there with my mother once and it was nice and pleasant. We sat outside on the patio.“

“What a great spot! The juices, smoothies, almond butter toast, poke bowl and chicken quesadilla were all delicious! My entire family (5 & 8 year old) both loved their meals, along with my husband and I. The staff was so accommodating and helpful, and just went the extra mile to make sure my one daughter was happy. Thank you! Highly recommend for anyone wanting good food that is made with clean ingredients!“

“Brick & Tin in Birmingham strikes a pleasing balance between casual charm and conscientious cuisine. From the start, you sense its farm-to-table ethos: the menu emphasizes locally sourced ingredients and humane, additive-free meats. 
One of the highlights is how flexible they are: soups, paninis, salads, small plates, and full entrées provide enough variety to satisfy both light-lunch seekers and diners craving something more substantial.  Their brisket panini draws particular praise—tender meat, caramelized onions, and a well-balanced sauce—while seasonal soups (especially the butternut squash) are often lauded for their comforting warmth and depth.“

“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“

“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.“

“Soooo one of my customer’s made me a plate from his restaurant today and I have to tell you….i have NEVER experienced Macaroni & Cheese like this. It was like a tangy-lemon-limey-feta-cheesy- dab of SHEER HEAVEN!!!! And the fresh Collard Greens? Oh. My. lord. THE BEST I have EVER had…EVER!!!! Better than my Grannie’s, god rest her soul. The Chicken was divine and I saw that they also barbeque Lamb Chops. I’ll try those next time. Everyone there are some of the kindest folks you will ever meet. Don’t feel like eating in? Go through the drive-thru and get a quart of that Mac-n-cheese and collards. I can’t even begin to describe how delicious they are. For real!!!! They Cater too!!! Divine!!!!“

“Edgar's Bakery is a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. The amazing people that work at this location make you feel like you're at home when you walk in the restaurant. They are known for their cakes being amazing but their food is absolutely delicious! Treat yourself to some amazing food and a delicious cupcake or some other sweet treat!“

“First time to try this place. I can't believe the wide array of food they serve. It comes to you hot, fresh and delicious!!! I had gotten a Groupon that I'm very thankful for!!! We spent less money here than we would at Taco Bell or McDonald's! If I lived over by it, I would literally eat here every day!!! I got fried catfish, the Cajun ranch fries and a small chicken salad. Good Lord I've NEVER had a salad THAT good before!!! And I'm 54 yo!! It has a ton of stuff in it!!! My husband got the same Cajun fried and a gyro that was amazing as well!!! I completely forgot to take pictures. But trust me, it's worth it! I can't believe they weren't more busy at 5 pm on a Saturday. We were the only ones dining in. But a few people came in for to go orders.“

“Had the California Cobb with chipotle chicken, and my wife had the same with grilled chicken. Requested spring mix instead of arugula (not a fan of the spicy bite), but our salads came out with arugula anyway. Looks like the staff missed the order notes and just saw “California Cobb.” When we brought it up, the team replaced our salads with no hesitation and delivered them to our table with sincere apologies. Great service recovery! That said, the corrected salads were noticeably smaller and seemed rushed—maybe frustration in the kitchen? Still, they tasted fantastic. My daughter’s brownie was absolutely decadent—melt-in-your-mouth good. Overall, a good experience and we’ll definitely eat here again. Would be 5 stars if the replacement salads had matched the care of the originals. Highly recommend.“

“My beautiful partner and I chose to have a relaxing meal here. For me, it was my first visit and enjoyed my delicious Cranberry Kelli on a croissant, only wish I had checked if they had spinach and a tomato slice. Highly recommend trying this beautiful restaurant“

“I’m way behind in offering a recommendation for the Homewood location of Maya. Between there and the Alabaster location, my Mexican food cravings are more than covered and they are always patient with my substitutions and the like. Service is top-notch and the food is excellent. Highly recommended!“

“Food is good when it's made right. I get the same thing every time, but it's never made the same. I picked up a Newks Q pizza just now that I ordered with no jalapeños. I did check it before I left, and it appeared fine. But whoever made it took it upon them selves to make the pizza with no sauce or chili either. I know what the sauce looks like. That pizza was dry AF. Super disappointing when you pay almost $20 for one pizza with a tip.“

“I dined in and honestly thought of my future review on here as I did so I did a little extra "digging in" to things I might not normally have noticed just in the area I could see while dining. The light fixtures, chairs, tables, floor were all clean, and no noted light bulbs were needing replaced. No noted dust on the light fixtures. The vent return cover (think that's what its called) was very minimally dusty.
The food was great and the portion sizing seemed generous to me. I ate alone following an out of town appointment. Now that I have found this place, it's hard for me try another since finding it at my last appointment. I work in healthcare, so I suppose I notice infection control practices in restaurants a little more than I wish I did for my sanity. I have never observed an issue here. In case you have never been here, you order at the register, but they bring you food and then they clean the tables after you are finished. (You don't have to dump trays or anything). You don't really have table service though, unless you realize you need something else at that initial food drop off time. Polite staff, but I did feel a little hurried to make my decision on ordering, although there wasn't a line. I paid a little more for lunch there than I could do on the daily, I received back just loose change from $19 for just me.
The atmosphere is pleasant and calming. I was just behind a fairly large group of apparent local exterminators (according to their labels on their clotging) and I was impressed that I didn't heart 1 single grumbling regarding anything with their order out of a fairly large group for barely lunchtime.“

“The food is usually good here. The breadsticks were on the well-done side and they were hard, but the waiter replaced them immediately when asked. The waiter that we had would not clear the table as we were finishing our dishes so we had a lot of glasses and plates on our table that took up unnecessary space.
We sat in a booth and we asked that they turned the lighting up, but they said they weren’t able to so I would recommend that they increase the lightbulb voltage over the booths. The lighting is too dark and needs to be improved“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️ I ordered delivery from La Paz last night and was excited to try their street corn and shrimp street tacos. The food arrived fresh and tasted delicious. Well, at least after I discovered I am one of those unlucky people who think cilantro tastes like soap. Once I picked it off, everything was great. Unfortunately, I woke up this morning with food poisoning symptoms. While I cannot say for sure that it was from this meal, it was the only thing I ate that evening. The flavors were on point, but this experience has made me hesitant to order again. Hoping it was just a one time issue because I really did enjoy the food!“

“Why on earth does it take 45min to get your food when the place is drive thru only? That is absurd? You can literally get a live chicken, kill it, pluck it, clean it, cut and batter the thing, then cook it and eat it in less time than to go they y’all’s drive thru.... Please find out what’s being done wrong and fix it“

“I'm so happy the Chic-fil-A was a very short distance from the hotel . Been years since the last time I ate this food establishment.
Walking in and being greeted with a smile and willing to help us navigate the menu,
Wow, the food hit the spot, walked away with a big smile...“

“Typical Chic Fil A, The food is top tier but this location needs some serious updates, lots of disrepair in the dining area. The staff was on par but not the best we’ve ever had.
Parking: Tight parking lot that’s not the easiest to get to from the main roads.
Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly, they have a play place at this location.
