“Consistently so delicious! The salmon is crazy good!!!“

“Hosted Todd Simpson Mojo Child. 💯“

“Had a table of 9 people. We were sat promptly soon as we walked in the door. Waitress was very helpful and knowledgeable. Short wait on food and it was delicious!! We will definitely be back!“

“Teamwork. Clear communication. Pure execution.

This Waffle House was a well-oiled machine—almost like watching a choreographed dance built around waffles, eggs, and bacon.

When we walked in, every table and every chair was filled. There were nine of us waiting, yet the staff never missed a beat. They greeted guests, filled bellies, cleared tables, and kept everything moving—never once dropping a smile.

At one point, when the grill was finally cleared, I overheard the team say “good job” to each other—right before another wave hit. And just like that, they were back at it without hesitation.

Kathleen was our server, and she was outstanding. Upbeat, hustling, and completely locked in. She never lost her rhythm, her smile, or her connection with the rest of the crew.

What stood out most was the leadership. Everyone jumped in where needed, even when it wasn’t technically “their job.” The leader led by helping—and honestly, it was hard to tell who the leader even was because the entire team moved as one.

In a high-pressure environment, this crew didn’t just survive—they excelled. It was truly refreshing to witness.“

“My favorite Ashley Mac’s meal is the pimento grilled cheese (topped with poppy’s pickles), broccoli slaw, and a slice of strawberry cake. It always hits the spot! I also love that I can order ahead online to avoid a longer wait time during busy hours.“

“Excellent food! So good and the portions size are so large I couldn’t eat it all. Great service“

“The food is great along with the atmosphere. We didn't have to wait on anything the food came out quickly. Devin was out waiter and he was outstanding. He was right there with refills and our food and was just as nice as he could be. We had a wonderful experience and I would recommend it to everyone. Well done“

“Last night my husband and I ate dinner at Firebirds. Our steaks were INCREDIBLE. They could compete with Fleming’s or Perry’s. Our service was excellent. I wish I remembered our servers name, she was quick and very kind (she had on a David Yurman cross pendant, young and light brown hair). I do recommend making a reservation if you’re going on a Friday/Saturday night. As we were leaving, we heard the hostess say it would be a 3 hour wait for the party that just arrived. Will be back!“

“Great food and attention to detail. Went above and beyond to accommodate my daughter’s dietary needs. Highly recommend.“

“I love wings plus. Out of all of the Wings joints I've been to Wings Plus in Bluff Park tops them all. I have never had anything less than freshly made delicious food and I don't just order wings. The place is always neat. I know restaurants were hit hard by the pandemic and have a hard time finding people to work. I've never been treated anything less than respectful and kind. The guys in there are great“

“Delicious food. Friendly environment.“

“Great birria, I tried birria tacos and instant noddles with birria, both definitely recommended I'll go again and try the pizza birria as well, even tho the place is inside of a gas station, was neat clean every table, and staff just nice, food is cheap“

“This was the best costumer experience ever. The owner runs the whole place by himself and you can see how much he puts into his business. The food was amazing, and he even gave us free ice cream after we ate. I’ll definitely be returning!!“

“sneaky Pete's and a place to sit this place has everything“

“Great menu. Tasty food. Served hot!“

“Last week was our first time we went to this good restaurant. But It is surely not the last. We had a good time with the generous service, with the finest cuisine and fine drinks and with the comfortable charge. We will surely go back there in a short time.“

“Stumbled into this place and it was delicious. Two classics with fries, all very tasty. Cute little diner feel with Mario being very sweet with excellent customer service. Manager even came out and checked on everyone dining. This must be what it was like back in the day when customer service was always top priority and the food reasonably priced and authentically made to order.“

“We were in a jam over the holidays and you guys went FAR AND ABOVE to take care of us. Great food and good service can be found a lot of places but good people willing to help others is rarity. Thank you so much for your kindness. Will be back when we come back when we come through Pelham again.“

“Tried this place for the first time. It is new but still very clean and super presentable. The turkey bacon club doesn't look like much of a sandwich but it is delicious. It was like a seriously upgraded version of a BLT that I enjoyed and will definitely have again! If you want to try something new, give this place a try!“

“We've eaten dinner, breakfast and dessert in this restaurant and nothing here disappoints! Highly recommend the crab cakes, pork medallions and brussell sprouts! The desserts were so good! And all our wait staff were so nice! Thanks for making our stay so great!“

“This is my favorite restaurant in the Birmingham area- Mr Jack’s crispy chicken is delicious!! They pay attention to details and it comes through in the food they serve. They have it down to perfection!!“

“Chance was good and the food was great!“

“Great food and service.“
