⚠️🚨 WARNING 🚨⚠️
NOT safe to eat this cheeseburger while driving.
First bite?
Lost my peripheral vision temporarily.
Second bite?
Saw my past, present, future, and the one argument I won in 2014 with my ex-wife finally got resolved
(like DMT, but without the long-term effects… or having to lick a toad in Sonora).
Third bite… the burger spoke to me out loud.
It said, “Put some respect on my name.”
I said yes sir, pulled over immediately, turned the engine off, and finished the burger with respect.
This isn’t food.
You’ve been warned.
🏆 Best in town. Full stop.

Although this was just a to go order, I went ahead and got some Greek grape leaves to go to cook at my house for later. I must say they were perfect, so perfect that I had to tell everyone! A must have and will definitely get it again and again. 5 star!

Well I’ve reviewed in Idaho and Montana so why not Alabama? A recent two week trip to Dixie and neighboring Mississippi and we leave with our bellies full and our culinary worldview challenged. Great BBQ at a Greek joint? Who knew? Of course, you ask what would dudes from Boise know about BBQ. We know enough that out West they tend to cook too fast and over smoke. “Low and slow” and “Less is more” rings true.
Thankfully my beloved Aunt Dixie, yes her real name, insisted we try Demetri’s in Homewood. I think words like Wow & Amazing are overused. I’d like to offer up a simple “YES!! As my choice to describe my experience. A simple yes to quality product, cooked with experience and an obvious love for their customers and calling. Demetri’s mastery of smoked wings, brisket and ribs begs for a special meat renaissance event. I picture Michelangelo, Beethoven and Matt Groening ravaging Demetri’s BBQ like a pack of Hyenas on a fresh kill.
You may want to queue the eye roll but seriously; Demetri’s established in 1961, IS IT! Look no further Birmingham—all others are pretenders. Ask for Alan, an admittedly over-educated but unpretentious big brother who will make you feel right at home while he honestly, patiently and skillfully outmaneuvers your dumb questions. He made our stay rememberable while educating us on the establishment’s history, menu, favorites while curating suggestions based on our brief interaction. If you have the appetite and wallet I recommend one of everything. Farewell, for now, from Boise and I’ll see you in February when we return. Thanks again Demetri’s

Best breakfast in Homewood (that’s saying a lot). The menu, quality and service are top level - not overpriced!
Really good

We were ordering for the office staff at least twice a week and spending quite a bit of money. We had a problem with an order instead of replacing it or doing anything to make it right, the manager only told us it won’t happen again but it did and still nothing. If you eat inside, you’re going to smell like that place and smoke until you wash your clothes. Will definitely never eat there again and encourage others not to do so as well. They don’t seem concerned with keeping clientele.

Food was great. I'm new to the Birmingham area and thought the bbq was pretty good. A little pricey for what it was but still good.
