New American Restaurants near Homewood, AL

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Exceptional in every way. The food is always over the top. They go above and beyond to make this the best dining experience. It's our favorite Birmingham restaurant.“

“We came for our 37th wedding anniversary. It was our 1st time eating here. Our server was Bishop. Bishop was amazing....staring woth the glass of celebratory champaign, picking a perfect wine pairing, explaining the dishes, great sense of humor....he helped make our experience fun and memorable. The food....OH. MY. GOODNESS!!! The food was amazing. Cooked to perfection! From the bread, Amuse Bouche, appetizer (great fried green tomatoes, by the way!!!) Intermezzo, main course (ribeye and braised rabbit), and dessert with coffee....every step was amazing! A truly wonderful sensual experience from all the aromas, flavors, and ambiance. We will definitely be back, and will definitely recommend Cafe DuPont to others. Thank you for making our celebration special!“

“All the sandwiches I have tried have been awesome (and huge) but if you haven’t tried The Farmers Daughter, you should! Absolutely out of this world. Nothing like it!“

“This restaurant has a nice ambiance being in an older repurposed building downtown. It was a cold evening so we were grateful for the ability of valet parking. The service was friendly and professional. The food choices were varied and all options chosen by our party were prepared well and delicious.“

“Amazing food and great service. 🙂“

“Visiting here from Pittsburgh, Pa. Great little sandwich shop…had the Camilla. I have to say it was the best sandwich I’ve ever had! Friendly atmosphere and wonderful service. I will be back on my next visit!!!“

“The menu was excellent with lots of tasty choices. The food we ordered was excellent. The ambience wasn't as good as it could have been because of some renovations they had going on. And the service was just OK. Our server was a little distracted by an event that she was also trying to handle. “

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

“Food is good, and won’t break the bank. Dining room is small and crowded so expect a good bit of noise. The soft shell crab bao buns are my favorite.“

“Love observing people bring their vision and craft to life. The atmosphere, team, and food they’ve passionately brought to life in this space is inspiring.“

“This is a counter service restaurant. We were able to order lunch immediately. The food was delivered to the table very quickly. The ingredients are very high quality. The dishes are interesting combinations than typical fast casual. The house salad with grilled chicken was delicious. The chicken was well seasoned.“

“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!“

“My first time at The Club! I was there for a scholarship dinner and thoroughly impressed. I asked about joining and was told that you had to be recommended. This is definitely a shortcoming for the club as I do not know many people in Alabama. This rule needs to be changed.“

“First tiñe in Alabama and stayed at the Renaissance Ross Bridge golf and country club. What a Lovely resort with superb golf. We dined at Brock’s restaurant. What a delightful surprise. Good, service and ambience all excellent. Chef Mark has amazing talent with combing flavors. Very creative and delicious food. Amazing talent. Kay was a wonderful server as well. Made our evening extra special. Thank you.“

“So I placed my order after a recommendation from a friend. I was initially pissed off because I was charged $3.99 + service fees for delivery through door dash which should have been zero for a first time order. Then the resturant charged me $7.00 for a order change so that my brother could be happy. I say all this to say they did a outstanding job, the only thing that could make this sweeter is to give my brother another compli army meal free of charge anything off the menu with of course revisions to fit his tastes.“

“Great food and a fancy experience that is very high touch and low worry!“

“Justin was amazing very kind and caring he needs a raise!!!! Please I have been to so many concerts and he is the best!!!!!“

“Our family (my husband & I & our three toddlers) was in the area today & were recommended Real & Rosemary for lunch. We had a wonderful experience. The staff was incredibly welcoming & accommodating! The food was absolutely delicious! We will definitely be adding this to our list of favorites in the Birmingham/Homewood area!“

“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“

“I’m a trucker and I’ve been to this place 2 times. N this is some good eating.“

“Good food, drinks and Dj Bad boy Butch“

“Great menu. Tasty food. Served hot!“

“OMGOSH!!!! I ate at Steel City last night (12/21/22) as I am staying on property at the HI. We had a party of six. EVERY ORDER WAS SUPERB!! I had the grilled pork chops, mac and cheese and mashed potatoes! Delicious!!! The pork chops - yes two came on my order - were grilled to perfection! They were great cuts and TENDER! The mac and cheese and the potatoes were both homemade and delightfully seasoned! I almost asked the waiter if the cook was married! I want to carry him home with me!? Two adults in our party had Philly steak and cheese; two children had flatbread pizza - one cheese and one pepperoni - and our 15 year old had a burger with mushrooms EACH PERSON RAVED OVER THEIR MEAL. EVERYTHING WAS GREAT AND NICE PORTIONS!!! We are good cooks and we know good food!!!! Do not think twice - eat at Steel City!!! You will NOT be disappointed!!!! PS We are eating there again today before our flight to Florida?“

“Best wings I’ve had in a long time! The owner was very hospitable and quick to allow me to try sauces, the lava is insanely good! Keep up the great work. -lifetime customer“

“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!!“

“On Saturday, April 5, 2025, I had my retirement dinner at Culinary Dropout. There were twenty people in my party. Our server Natalie was a "little dynamo". Even the restaurant was crowded due prom season, she got all drink orders promptly. The starters orders arrived soon after. Then the entrees. She was there for drink refills and other requests. She handled the situation with grace, kindness and professionalism. Her and the other wait staff were truly exceptional. The bartenders got drink orders promptly and made to protection. They made my 25 year retirement celebration truly awesome! I will definitely book any future events with this amazing restaurant. Kudos!!!!“

“Best pork-chop EVER!! And our server Mary Kay gave us top notch service! She was truly Amazing!“

“We ate here for the 2nd time today. Great food, drinks, and service. Definitely a preference when passing through the area.“

“This place is for foodies, not for people looking for vibes.

Our expectations hit rock bottom once we saw it was attached to a hotel, but I'm happy to admit we were so, so wrong!

The food was extremely good. Basic fine dining selection, but done with excellence. Each item, from the drinks, to the appetizers, the entree, and the dessert were all done with finess and exactness that made it a great experience.

We were here for valentines day and we can't wait to try the full menu a different night.“

“When I go to Topgolf, I typically have a great time but last night I was disgusted me and two friends went there to eat and have a good time we went into the restaurant. We waited an hour before anyone even spoke to us then when we stopped a few of the workers one guy with dreads that was working the bar with a red shirt on, he was rude. When I asked did he work there and when I asked him to get us a server he ignored me after several attempts to get an employee to come, Services us savanna a server came to the table after 45 minutes of trying her best to ignore us and several other customers and asked the drink orders but at this point we’re ordering food as well long story short we spent we came in at 9 didn’t leave the restaurant part until 1130 and missed our spot at the golf course. When we asked for the check that took 45 minutes even though it was almost empty in the place. It seem like no manager cared or just wasn’t present the place was being ran by kids and it was horrible.“
