“Food was okay, but not outstanding. Service was very disappointing. One server for entire room, and she did her best but could not keep up. Drink was frequently empty, and things I would have asked for were not taken care of. She simply had too many tables, and I fault the management for that. This restaurant is known for that. Meal was too expensive for it to be served like this.“
“Hold on to your hat as prices are insane but good if not great. Not a fan of the times we are all living in but the food and service were good. Still one of the best places to eat if you can afford it. Made the occasional visit again and same as before, food is still very good and the service was great but prices are even higher now as lunch was $60.00 for my wife and I. Can't go often but excellent when we can afford it.Vegetarian options: A few sides but not what I would call a vegans smorgasbord. The meat is obviously the focus here.Parking: Pretty easy to find a space but getting in to eat may be a challenge as there is almost always a waiting list to enter.“
“Finding seating is hard here….And that’s it. That’s the end of the slight detriments.This is some is the best BBQ in birmingham and that’s a pretty big deal.The sweet tea chicken sandwich is FANTASTIC, but I actually tried a burger this time. Don’t usually eat burgers, but I was feeling it. So thrilled I did. The Carolina I think it was? Chili on a burger…. And just enough to not overwhelm everything else.Sides? You can’t go wrong. But the potato salad is my go to.Good prices. Amazing good. Friendly service and atmosphere. Saw’s has it awwwl.Vegetarian options: Why would you go here if you’re a vegetarian?“
“Best Bar-B-Q EVVAA!! ❣️ I LOVE IT! Very friendly people. It's just a little walk up or drive thru but has been in that spot for some years!Parking: Pork plate chopped, no slaw, with extra fries instead and baked beans is my favorite and they put a bun in the plate. Also a large sweet teaKid-friendliness: Walk up or drive thru onlyWheelchair accessibility: Not positive but pretty sure“
“Saw this place on the side of the road during a family road trip, decided BBQ would be nice for lunch. The smell was heavenly the moment we stepped out of our vehicle, and the taste was delightful! Smoked wings, BBQ ribs, and pork and coleslaw sandwich, all made to perfection! If you find yourself passing by this place and you're feeling hungry, stop in! You won't regret it! Om nom nom!“
“Bologna Sandwich 5/5 Service 10/5 Onion Rings 3/5 The true definition of southern hospitality. A restaurant run by a family that treats you like family. It was my first time and they took the time out to suggest items to me and ask me what I liked. I even had input from another diner who was apparently a regular, who told me to get the bologna sandwich. And BOY was it delicious. HUGE. Couldn't eat it all in one setting. I liked it because it was on white bread, the bologna was thick sliced and charred (which a good piece of bologna always has) and the toppings were fresh. The only reason I gave it four stars is really no fault of their own. It's just the onion rings were too greasy. I know, I literally ordered a fried side, but they were like drenched. Perhaps it was just my batch. When I'm in Fultondale, though, I'll definitely be stopping by. I want to come back for the hotdog which is supposed to be the standout.“
“I've been eating at this place for several years but I used to go with my friend Len. He introduced me to it even though he doesn't eat BBQ! He always would get French fries and a grilled cheese. Well the ribs are really good and the fries are outstanding. Sadly, my friend Len has passed away. I will always think of him when I eat at Carlile's.“
“Is it good BBQ?Let me put it this way.Anytime I'm in Bham, I intentionally book my hotel across the road from this place, so I can utterly over-eat myself every day, and then waddle my little fat happy and content behind back to my room to stare blissfully at the ceiling for the rest of the night.It's not good, it's outstanding.“
“I hadn't been here in years because of a custimer service issue. We tried it again and the food was great. The ribs were cooked and flavored to perfection, so was the chicken. The sides were tasty as well. There are several big name rib joints here in Birmingham that i find average at best. In My opinion they have the best Barbeque in Town!“
“Chicken salad chick has been nothing but great. Jesus and all the other servers have been nothing but friendly and sweet. Layla was great at Making sure my food was correct and delicious. Thank you for the great service and being nothing but kind. I will definitely be coming back to chicken salad chick.“
