Restaurants in Homewood

“100% great food, entertainment, and environment. Our server was Adela aka Big Bad Breakfast. She wouldn’t give me a refund on my disgusting food (even though I cleaned the plate 😪) food was great, customer service was better.”

“The absolute sweetest customer service, best atmosphere, and delicious food! 10/10 recommend! 💚”

“Stopped in for lunch with my toddler and sat outside. Staff was super friendly and welcoming, which was a nice start. Food-wise…it wasn’t the best I’ve ever had, but definitely not the worst either. I’d eat here again.

The kid’s corn dogs were a hit and my daughter devoured them. Fries were very salty (which I actually love), but a bit much for my toddler, so I kept those to myself. The egg rolls were just okay, like a 3/5. They needed a better dipping sauce…. not sure what exactly, but the ones that came with it were kinda blah.

Wings had good flavor, but they had that weird fridge taste… might’ve just been me. I took them home, tossed them in some hot BBQ sauce, hit them with the air fryer, and they turned out pretty tasty.

Sitting outside was fine, but a few patio fans would’ve helped with the heat. There were a lot of flies, but hey….. that’s just outdoor dining sometimes.

Oh and when it’s time to pay, you have to pay on their handheld device and it’s just annoying to me. It’s 2025, just give me a receipt with a QR Code to scan (with exception of paying cash).

Overall, chill spot. I’d come back.”

“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.”

“Great customer service, and the ice cream is fantastic. I definitely would recommend!”

“Love the chicken pot pie, it is delicious and the big rolls like I used to get in our schools lunch, delicious.”

“Perfect food and staff was nice”

“My wife and I were in Birmingham and looking for someplace for dinner and came upon Whiskey Foxtrot on a google maps search. The restaurant has a cool vibe and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful! My wife had the Cowgirl and I had the Classic, both were delicious! She ordered the loaded fries and I ordered the loaded tots, both were great but we should have just shared one order since neither of us could finish. I REALLY wish we had one of these in Tuscaloosa!”

“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!”

“Great food and atmosphere ! And the Ashley Mac Burger (only served on Friday and Saturday) is well worth the wait !”

“We have gone to Freddy’s many times and always had an amazing experience! The service is always amazing, the wine plentiful, and the food delicious and consistent. We had a party for my husband’s birthday this past weekend and were so impressed by the execution of service. If you want to be truly taken care of, come to Freddy’s!”

“Everything on the menu is first class.. great waitresses and music”

“I’m a Rodney Scott groupie! Stayed @ Hilton and went walking looking for dinner and SURPRISE!!!! Service was top notch and the food was more than I expected! Surprised with some banana pudding 😉Bought a cookbook !!!”

“First time visiting and it was delicious. Friendly staff and lots of vegetarian options. 🥰”

“Wonderful food, meatloaf and peach cobbler were absolutely 5 star as well as the friendly staff. Smiles and warm food that felt just like a home-cooked meal. I will be back next time im in town 💯”

“Every experience at this restaurant has been fantastic! My family has been dining there since they opened. Their customer service is unbeatable! I really think Linda could teach a course on how to run a business. As a vegetarian, they have delicious options. Our son and daughter who are not vegetarian both love the angel roll! Okinawa is a fabulous restaurant!”

“Fantastic food! I had the basil pork and it was wonderful. The old fashioned with the smoked orange was also the bomb. The owner ( I think it was the owner--it was very loud and I couldn't hear him, but he appeared at our table of six at least twice) was super attentive and has a kind demeanor. I will be back.”

“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!”

“I couldn’t wait to get home to give this place one star. I was under the impression by some of the pics that the fried rice came with some type of veggie like peas and carrots . Just onion and the greens onions they had to add after the fact . However, my attitude changed once I tasted the food ! I was surprised at how good it taste . Veggies were cooked very well and everything overall had a great taste . I don’t even eat the brown sauce that came with it but as I type I’m tearing it up! Lol Not my first choice for Chinese just due to personal preference (I like my veggies in my friend rice!) . Also I’m use to a larger portion size for what I paid (a little over $16 ) but this was definitely a hit ! The front lady was every patient cause I knew she could tell I was disappointed. I did not try to hide . I will be back to try some other items now that I l now what to expect ! By the way I got the house friend rice and steam veggie plate.”

“Casual comfort food. The chicken kabob and gyro plate are excellent , good portions and a quality meal. I love the big baker for nights when you need a hug…simple goodness and I like to add gyro meat. Burgers, Gyros and fries are solid and the chick in a sack is a family favorite. Pita and hummus are delicious and the mint iced tea is a treat. This is a great meal in a chill environment.”

“Absolutely delicious. Everything from the service to the food was great. Definitely will be going back.”

“Absolutely divine food. Very glad we choose to try you. We got take away”

“I love it and great customer service and the pizza is awesome”

“Delicious food and very nice people.”

“Friendly service and delicious food & bev :) I had a pimento cheese & sausage biscuit + a white chocolate & caramel latte ... PERFECT for Saturday morning errands!”

“GREAT food. At 50 yrs old I have eaten a lot of Mexican food and this place is stellar.”

“My son ordered the thin crust, pepperoni with meatballs from the Lee Branch location and said it was the best pizza he has had in forever. It was delivered hot and fresh. Thank you for making Monday night dinner so good!”

“Food was really good, service was ok but not our server could have had an off day. They have outdoor seating so we sat outside, which was pretty nice. Would go back!”

“I love the burgers and fries, often I substitute cornballs for fries. The breakfast is delicious, and the biscuits are the best in town. There is interesting Alabama and Auburn memorabilia and photos on the walls. Plus a Homewood Patriots jersey. The staff and manager are friendly and professional.”

“The Crunch (Ahi Tuna) Bowls and Fries and service!!”

“Cozy coffee shop in the heart of Homewood. Excellent customer service and atmosphere.”

“omgg the best American Mexican I have had in years... delicious, great service and affordable... y'all got it going on”

“The best place to study in Birmingham”

“Amazing quality and so much flavor! May become a weekly stop for our family. Going to challenge my kids to try every dessert once.”

“Friendly staff, amazing food and atmosphere. Quick and attentive as well. The first time I’ve ever eaten there and it reminded me so much of Peru! I will try to come back whenever I’m back in Birmingham!”

“My family and I moved to Gulf Shores from Birmingham in 2016. When we come back north for anything we have to stop at two places...Milos and Chop Suey Inn. Well, three...my parents! The egg rolls are without a doubt the best egg rolls that you will ever eat! Fresh, hot, crispy...perfection! Follow that by an apple pie from Milo's and I am all set for the drive home!!! Of course, we bring egg rolls home with us as well as burgers from Milos (and a bottle of sauce). If they shipped, I would definitely keep their egg rolls stocked at my house! I would have to hide them from my 3 children. :-)”

“I love city bowls! i have tried several locations and this one does take longer than the others which i think is because of understaffing (which I know is out of their control). But that’s the only negative I have about this location, otherwise just as good and nice as the others!”

“Popped by to pick up an online order as I was in a rush. Food was delicious and the iced coffee was perfect. I mostly recommend the “Iced Latte” just as it comes, I preferred it over the iced Mocha. Great spot!”

“Very nice hotel !!the staff was very nice and professional”

“Our favorite bar in Bham, hands down. Taffy and Di are the best bartenders in the city! They make everyone feel welcome. The ambience is exactly what you’d want in a dive bar. If you’re in the Homewood area, this funky little dive is an absolute can’t miss! Make sure to bring some dollar bills for the jukebox when you stop by!”

“Awesome service for fast food! Great amount for the lunch special. Good and fresh food!! Clean. Clean. Clean!”

“I visited Neighbor’s today with three kids that I babysit after a trip to the park across the street. We had visited a few times before, so I recognized the man working behind the counter. He greeted us kindly and got the kids their ice creams. When it came time to pay, I went to tap and my card declined. This is where Neighbors stands out. The young man behind the counter said it was okay, and to just repay them when I returned. I definitely should have planned better and brought cash, but the kindness that he demonstrated is what makes Neighbors stay true to their name. (I did return and pay not even 20 minutes later with some cash I had in my car)”

“Enjoyed lunch yesterday at OakHill. Great service and atmosphere. The food was delicious! Wonderful place”

“I love ❤️ the food it's so delicious 😋 keep God first and keep fixing delicious food.”

“Pulled pork plate with white bbq sauce was outstanding”

“Dave’s Pizza in Homewood offers a laid-back, open-air pizzeria vibe that many locals hold dear. Its charm starts with the setting— outdoor seating, TVs, and a relaxed “neighborhood hangout” feel.  The menu is broad, from classic pepperoni pies to more creative options like BBQ or buffalo chicken, plus wings, sandwiches, and salads. ”

“The nicest owners and super patient when customizing orders for drinks. Great hours, location, and wonderful to have in the community.”

“The best place to study in Birmingham”

“Hunt Brothers Pizza is a great pizza for anybody searching for really good tasting food the employees are always very respectful their Pizza is also never undercooked or overcooked it is always just right with a perfect amount of toppings”

“Okay as someone who LOVES acai bowls and have had them at multiple different places in different cities, I must admit that Farm Bowl and Juice Company has the best and cutest açaí bowls I've ever had! I've been twice so far since the opening and it taste amazing, I wish I could afford to eat it every single day! I love the atmosphere as well. I normally go to other juice bars and açaí places in Tuscaloosa, but Farm Bowls is so much closer to my home. So between it being close to home, the best açaí bowls ever, friendly staff, and a great atmosphere, I am SOLD!”

“I come when I have free time away from the kidos. Great atmosphere Ethan’s hall pass drink is very good. He and Brooklyn make me feel like we’re old friends tho I just started coming there. Great staff, hot fresh taste to the food. Always a pleasure. Thanks guys!”

“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!”

“A great awesome "hidden" gem for travelers visiting doctors in the Birmingham area. I loved my visit here. Staff, atmosphere and food were all top notch. Food cooked to order, fresh, hot and tasty!! Greatly appreciated. ❤️

Dietary restrictions: Cooked to order. I came during a slower period. They asked questions about how I liked my food cooked. Great attention to detail.

Parking: Go into south east door and then interior door on your left.

Kid-friendliness: Appears to be kid friendly.
Several tables, a TV, and food selections kids will enjoy.

Wheelchair accessibility: The building itself has wheelchair accessibility at other doors.”

“To many servers on cell phones within view of customers. Makes customers want more attention to service for better tip to be given. Sometimes difficult to get extra condiments or soup when wanted.”

“One of the best places in Birmingham , for atmosphere and food !! Amazing place , makes you feel as if you've traveled abroad ❤️??”

“I went inside for my 25th birthday and the restaurant staff was very polite. They helped me pick my order. I ordered the chicken and waffles. The waffles were fluffy and delicious. The chicken was tender and moist. The orange juice was refreshing and worth it.”

“Cuando voy a Homewood, siempre paso por Tortas Locas. Hay gran variedad de platillos, pero me encantan los alambres combinados y las fajitas de pollo. Ven y lo compruebas.”

“Had great experience. Friendly staff and yummy food with specialty coffee drinks.”

“Just got me a turkey bacon club six inch and my goodness the bread was so soft and the sandwich was awesome. It's been a long time since I had a great deli sandwich. And the service was top notch with smiles and everything! I will be coming back.”

“Neat place. Nice variety of popping boba and jellies. Their display fridge has some ethnic desserts, and after asking the cashier for recommendations, they suggested the "Rice pudding w/ black eyed peas" and it a sweet suprise. Normally, I'm put off food with beans in it, but this was pretty great.”

“Totally delicious but a little expensive!”

“Literally my favorite place to eat all, the food is always so yummy, the service is perfect as always and I love the calm atmosphere. I genuinely can’t stress enough how much I love this place”

“Service great, the young man working that day was super polite and seemed genuine eager to work. Food was missing the mark just a bit, food wasn’t heated all the way through. It happens, I will go back, was worth the trip.”

“The food was great that wasn't the problem, the young man working the counter was very very respectful. My problem was the female cashier was very very rude to a Hispanic couple placing their order. It was very clear that the Hispanic gentlemen could not speak good English, instead of her trying to understand and be patient with the PAYING CUSTOMERS she yelled at him to speak up and then laughed as if it was funny.”

“My daughters friend likes to wear a T-shirt which has another coffee franchise logo; "Friends don't let friends drink Starbucks". I'm glad I'm not a Quaker (definition of a friend courtesy of Compton's Encyclopedia). As put so eloquently by Trent Reznor, I think I'll just "Fret for my Latte". Keep up the great work!”

“A surprisingly delightful hotel breakfast. The food and coffee were delicious but Chiniya was the loveliest part! Thanks for being so kind and working on Thanksgiving too!”

“I went through the drive thru this am. to pick up some breakfast. A very nice lady named Felicity was working. If every drive thru experience was like this one, I would go more often. Thank you Felicity for making my morning a little brighter.”

“Amazing food . Great staff!!”

“Absolutely delicious. Everything from the service to the food was great. Definitely will be going back.”

“I just want to say to the person that had to deal with this outrageous customer tonight that you handled that whole situation better than must folks. I was in the car watching the whole thing and hearing what that man was saying as I was walking in the store. Sorry that you have to deal with people like that. Thank you, for the great food and for serving me.
And willie If you going to put a complaint put the whole truth, you aren't innocent at all. Threatening employees in a restaurant should be a crime.”

“I only like Jack's for breakfast, I'm not much of a burger person. The breakfast is usually great, but you do have to check your order to make sure everything is correct.”

“Kept pizza stocked salad bar was fresh store was nice and clean and they had cartoons on for the kids to keep them occupied and quiet

Kid-friendliness: They have an arcade and had on cartoons and have 5.99 kids buffet”

“Thank you for your YES to donate your "fry" boxes so Grace Klein Community can repurpose them into food boxes to feed families in our community. We love placing a box of healthy food into the back seat or truck of a car which you made possible by giving us the boxes. Thank you for filling plates and not landfills.”

“I went inside for my 25th birthday and the restaurant staff was very polite. They helped me pick my order. I ordered the chicken and waffles. The waffles were fluffy and delicious. The chicken was tender and moist. The orange juice was refreshing and worth it.”

“Believe it or not. For the 1st time in years!!!!!!! I got great service, food and customer service at a McDonald's!!!!!!?

“We didnt dine in. We stayed at a hotel close by (walking distance) I was so hungry after surgery. I got the club. My husband the Rubin. His only issue was it wasnt saucey enough but he really liked it. We also got soup. My only complaint was the bacon should be a little more crispy. He loved is broccoli cheddar soup.. otherwise....so so good. And the price was shocking. 2 sandwiches and 2 cups of soup ..less than 40.00...yes please!”

“Amazing quality and so much flavor! May become a weekly stop for our family. Going to challenge my kids to try every dessert once.”

“Everyone was great the lady at the counter was super nice and helped me decide what to try out.They have an unlimited wing night on Thursday evening will definitely be checking that out will review once I do .”

“Adan Coffee has the best service of all. The staff are friendly, fast, and always make you feel welcome. The drinks are always fresh and taste amazing. The place has a warm, relaxing vibe. I highly recommend it if you want great coffee and excellent service.”

“Had a great meal: I had the three-hander and my friend and I split an order of half fries half onion petals. This was the way to go as both the fries and onion petals are great. The burger was also excellent. It does go to a bit loud in there, the acoustics seem a bit off, but other than that we really enjoyed the atmosphere. The bar tender that we had was super friendly and also great with suggestions from the menu. We will definitely visit again.”

“Food was amazing! Staff were wonderful! Definitely recommend!”

“I was pleasantly surprised. I am in the restaurant business and tend to be critical, but they execute very well what they do. The fried bologna sandwich is impressive.”

“Food was amazing at each if your into wine area that's child friendly. They have burgers BBQ coffee and sweets and a few others to enjoy. The staff are very friendly I'll be returning to enjoy more often.”
