He put a smile on the face of every person that walked in! His service was quick, knowledgeable, clean, & efficient!

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“One of the best meat and three in the city!!“

“A wonderful hidden gem, the food was fantastic. Service was fantastic atmosphere was spot on perfect, great place. I highly recommend.“

“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! ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

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

“I love the deviled eggs and the muffins! Of course the BBQ is delicious but the Pies are a must try! The staff is very prompt and courteous. I use curbside to pick up dinner and it’s convenient especially with all the traffic on 280.“

“Just had Biscuit Belly for the first time and it was great! Fire in your belly chicken biscuit is what I tried and it was very tasty. I will be back!“

“The staff were so friendly and welcoming! And the food was AMAZING! And that sweet tea 🤤🤤! I definitely recommend Craft’s!“

“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.“

“Fantastic meal and drinks!“

“Love this place! Came in for breakfast while in town and had a wonderful experience. My waitress was Anna and she was very attentive and knowledgeable of the menu and very friendly! Will be back again!!“

“Everything is made from scratch, I highly recommend marbled beef brisket, ribs and the best catfish!!!“

“Great experience as usual! Evan was very cheerful and a delight!“

“Locally owned, hole in the wall venue, friendly service, amazing breakfast! Highly recommend anyone in the area to stop by and visit at least once. The fried pork chop and egg breakfast is second to none. The western or meat lovers omelette is absolutely delicious! The French toast is not for the diabetic with its extremely flavorful cinnamon and powdered sugar topping. Another recommended breakfast choice is asking for grilled toast, you'll think me later!
If you live close or traveling through, you need to visit our friends over at the cedar house and experience the local food!“

“absolutely amazing food and service! You will not be disappointed... down home done RIGHT!“

“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!“

“Everything I had was great and fresh the atmosphere and energy was amazing I’ll definitely be back“

“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.“

“Barbecue has always been top notch. I stop every time going through Birmingham. Might be busy, might be slow, be patient and nice, it’s worth it!“

“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!“

“The best place for Thanksgiving catering. We didn't have time this year to cook our own Thanksgiving meal, so we ordered from Meals by Misty. We ordered the smoked turkey and 5 sides with gravy and cranberry sauce, and an apple pie for dessert. We absolutely loved everything, especially the marscapone mashed potatoes. The amount we ordered was more than enough for 5 people, with plenty of leftovers for days.The only thing I would have changed was the apple pie crust, which was quite soggy. The actual flavor of the pie was delicious, it was only the crust that was disappointing. Aside from the pie, I would definitely order everything else again. Highly recommended when you don't feel like cooking, or don't have time to cook. Ordering from here was the best decision we made this Thanksgiving!“

“Food was pretty good! Staff welcomed us right away! Food came out within 10 minutes!“

“The only complaint was the wait. Once you get your food, you forget about the wait. You won't get anything that's been sitting under a heat lamp! Normally get chicken but ventured out and got a catfish filet plate. THREE pieces at cap ds wouldn't equal one of Green Acres filets. Some of the best I've ever eaten.“

“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.“

“Great food and service.“

“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“
