9 Best American Restaurants in Homewood

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

“This is the place to come if you want down home cooking atits finest. Whenever I am nearby at lunch time I always choose Paw Paw Catch. The food is cooked to perfection and there's plenty of variety. This cafeteria style restaurant has meats and vegetables as well as delicious desserts. The staff will make you feel right at home and the price will absolutely leave with a smile on your face. Great food, even better prices and they are open for lunch and dinner. They haven't been around as long as they have without being the best choice.“

“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.“

“Pleasant older property recently nicely refurbished. Friendly staff, very clean premises. Odd layout, elevators are at back of building so be prepared to walk a lot of hallways. No bathroom amenities, just dispensers; no daily maid service. Location is the key to this hotel; cannot be beat; close to everything and safe. Bistro dining concept is still just that and really does not work well. Save your money and go to one of the many local spots nearby. Nice pool area for relaxing. Overall a safe bet for Birmingham.“

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

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

“I was genuinely excited to try this restaurant after passing by it so many times while traveling through Downtown Homewood. Unfortunately, my experience was a bit of a letdown. That said, it wasn’t terrible by any means, which is why I’m giving it 3 stars. A friend and I dined here together as most of my readers know, I often bring someone along for reviews to offer more than just my own perspective. Appetizer: We started with the Tallulah Wings, opting for the Sweet Heat Dry Rub with Alabama White BBQ sauce. The first surprise was that the wings arrived already coated in the sauce. In my opinion, when a sauce is meant as a dip, it’s best served on the side, not as a coating. Unfortunately, the wings themselves were quite underseasoned it reminded me of drinking a LaCroix, with just a faint whisper of the sweet heat flavor. That said, the little flavor I could taste had a nostalgic charm, reminiscent of Golden Flake potato chips and those are undeniably delicious. I just wish the wings had packed more of a punch. Entrée: Next, we tried the Social Stack, essentially their version of a McDonald's Big Mac. I have to say, it was significantly better than a Big Mac. The sauce was flavorful, the patties were fresh and well-seasoned, and everything came together beautifully. It’s a rich burger, but the crispy, seasoned fries helped balance that richness. The freshness and flavor made this burger a standout I’d absolutely order it again. If it weren’t for the disappointing wings, this meal would have earned a solid 4 out of 5 stars. As it stands, I’m giving it 3 out of 5. However, I do plan to return and explore more of their menu. I believe there’s potential here, and I’m hopeful my next visit will be a more satisfying experience.“

“Great food, great price and great service.“

“Myself and 3 of my family members visited the Homewood IHOP, off Lakeshore on 12/5/2025. Shay was a great host and server. She was very pleasant, gracious, and attentive. My food was pretty good. The Cinnamon Crepes was great 🤩; the eggs were prepared, per my request (cheese was $1.69 extra 🤬; the breakfast meat and hash browns were okay, but I was expecting a better quality of bacon (so thin). One of the guest order a T-bone steak. The steak did not look good to me when it arrived, and the guest said that the taste wasn't much better. The drinks were too high, but that issue is the same at most restaurants. I would return, and reorder what I had again.... Make sure you tip your server, especially if he or she have provided good service. (Ask about the $6.00 menu 😉).“
