“This is one of our favorite places for lunch. I always get the baby blue salad with a scoop of chicken salad and it’s perfect every time! My husband came with me on Friday and got the burger; it was delicious! The place is clean, the food is great and the people are friendly. We love Ashley Mac’s!“

“Longtime family favorite! Ashley Mac's has been a part of our family meals for so long and is so well loved that my oldest son has asked if I'm going to send the poppyseed chicken with him when I send him meals and care packages for college! He's only in 10th grade, but he's already thinking about how he can make sure he doesn't miss out on poppyseed chicken night!“

“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.“

“My fist time eating lunch today and it was fantastic!“

“Love everything about this place. The atmosphere, menu selection, cocktails and wine list are always amazing. Love that everything is seasonal. The live music on weekends is a nice touch as well. Must try Rodney’s key lime pie and the Kathleen’s cosmo martini!“

“Great food and service :)“

“Best chicken salad Ive had with various selections of flavors. Love it“

“I work for The Dinner Detective and this venue hosts us 2-4 times a month. I cannot brag on the staff enough! From Todd at the door knowing each one of us and doing anything he can to help, to the front desk staff willing to print things for us or locate someone if we need them, to Bill always smiling and being friendly. But the real MVP’s are Jarvis and Damien with the staff that serves the meals and makes sure our guests receive the best experience during dinner. Damien is always there and works so hard. He knows his stuff and makes sure we have everything we need. Jarvis is so friendly and helpful. He has been so patient and dedicated as we have worked in this new partnership and has helped us troubleshoot and work through things all with a smile on his face. Without Damien and Jarvis, we would have been in a mess a few different times. They are amazing! ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Good, affordable food in sizeable quantities and with varied options. Service is fast and pleasant and it's not a bad place to sit down. I can get more and better food than any fast food place offers, at a lower price and in the same or even *less* time.“

“The Cedar House Cafeteria has been in business fourty-nine years in the same location. Throughout the years there have been changes made here and there but the quality of the food and service has always been
remarkable. Stop by and enjoy this iconic landmark and see for yourself what has kept the doors
open all this time. Delicious food, prompt friendly service all at a great price. You will become a regular Cedar House patron too!!“

“if i could give it all 6 stars i could! it was absolutely amazing this was the first day they opened and it was amazing! the food was delicious. We have been waiting and waiting for this to finally open and it finally did! The staff was friendly, fast, and had that “we care about your experience” attitude that makes a place feel like home. They didn’t just bring food — they brought joy. Kate was our waitress and she was so welcoming and so kind!! thank y’all all sooo much!! this was amazing! it was our first time coming but definitely won’t be our last!“

“If anyone ever worked for their money, the Hontzas family sure has. First of all, they’re usually very busy but they sure know how to keep the line moving and get everyone seated promptly. In the food line there’s something for everyone. This is one of the few places where I could get all vegetables. The neighborhood is a bit rough but don’t let that discourage you from going bc people from all sides of town eat here.“

“Gotta say a big thank you to Jim ‘n Nick’s BBQ in Athens, GA. I drove through there, hoping to get the awesome sounding baked potato that is described on their menu. After ordering my kiddo’s chicken fingers, I asked for the potato only to be told they had run out of them for the night. 😞 when I pulled up to pick up our food,  the chef (Matt) had found out that I had really wanted a potato and so he gave me one for free. That makes potato might’ve been part of his employee meal he was taking home. I don’t know but that gentleman made my night.  by the way, the potato is very good, but the service was even better!“

“Food at our February luncheon was absolutely fabulous. It was delivered on time and hot! LOVE their all inclusive pricing (food, drink, dessert, paper products, silverware, ice, etc.). Made it very easy on an already busy day for us. Thanks for being awesome!“

“First time at this restaurant. Great food and great customer service. You blink and you'll drive right by it. Some great restaurants come in small sizes! I'll be going back. Shrimp and Grits were very good. Peach pie was off the chain. Trying the Ox Tails next!“

“I was expecting to pay $50-$60 bucks for a decent seafood bag. I had a boil bag DELIVERED for $42 and i picked 3 meats! It was almost two pounds and was fresh and delicious. There flavors we spot on. I strongly recommend the crawfish in your bag they were 5-star worthy. I will definitely order from here again“

“I rarely go to Green Acres but every so often I need a little “comfort” food. The employees here were extremely friendly, the food was good. They have no control of the foolery that walks through the door. I wish that people could suppress the bad attitudes until they leave. The patrons makes it NOT kid friendly.“

“Ruby's has the very best down home cooking I have ever eaten ! Everything on the menu is fresh (nothing canned) You have to eat it to believe it !!!!!!“

“Great food and service.“

“I made a trip of 20 miles just to get family loaded baker potatoes and my lick they were out and wait time was 30 mins. Well I waited and when they were ready a young lady came out and let me know. Can’t complain about service. And Im glad I waited, it was worth it. Even though I forgot my sons corn on cob he forgave me.“

“I was in town for a wedding this weekend and stayed at The Kelly. The hotel is beautiful and the rooms are very spacious for being in a historic building. The price was fantastic for such a nice hotel in a good location. The staff is unbelievably friendly and welcoming. I didn't get the names of the front desk workers but they were absolutely terrific! The valets are some of the best I've ever encountered. Eric, Tory and Thomas went out of their way to be helpful every single time. One evening I accidentally left a bag in the car and Thomas volunteered to go all the way back to the parking garage to get it for me. From now on, when I am in Birmingham I won't be staying anywhere else but The Kelly. I suggest you do too!“

“Kudo's to this Full Moon BBQ place in Pelham. To us it is the best of all of them and we have tried a number of them in our area. Generous food portions, delicious BBQ- hot and ready to go for us. This customer experience was very pleasing. I hope they can keep it up!“

“Popped in breakfast at the Harvest, which is located in a hotel. Only one server who was trying to manage 15 tables and doing the best she could, all while maintaining a smile and managing to check on me enough. Got the redmont special with scrambled eggs which were okay, some kind of Alabama sausage which was really good, the seasoned potatoes which were delicious and I just wished I had more of the larger pieces, and the cheese grits which were okay. Overall I liked the breakfast and the area.“

“I had an issue with my pick up order left a review. They called the next day and the manager was absolutely amazing at correcting the issue and making it right! Definitely the best customer service I have had from a restaurant in a long time!“

“Our server, Jackson, was excellent. When we arrived, my friend had cut his hand and was bleeding. Jackson brought us wet and dry napkins, antiseptic cream, and two Bandaids. He was concerned for my friend and asked how he was doing several times as we ate. He kept my drink glass full and brought us both to-go drinks and a box at the end. We greatly enjoyed our meal and fellowship!“

“Breakfast always good and prompt. Coffee is hot and plentiful. Service is 5 star. Highly recommend Rebecca Whitmire!“

“great food and service!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“
