The Iberico Presa is definitely going to be one of my go-to choices from now on. Richard, our server, was outstanding and made the evening even better. We can’t wait to come back!“

“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!“

“The Baby Bleu salad is hands down the best salad on their menu. A sweet dressing, citrus from the oranges, creamy tangy from the cheese, sweet crunch from the sugared almonds…. Phew! Perfect balance!!! And the little sour cream biscuits are always moist!!“

“First time visiting Ashley Mac’s Kitchen and I will definitely be back. My sister recommended the trio with chicken salad, mandarin orange salad, and Baby Bleu, and everything was absolutely amazing. The food was fresh, flavorful, and honestly out of this world. The portions were great, the service was friendly and attentive, and the restaurant had a clean, welcoming atmosphere. I had a great experience from start to finish and would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a delicious lunch.“

“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! ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

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

“Excellent cafeteria style food! Love the hamburger steak, the sausage with kraut, and the baked catfish! Always plenty of great sides to go with them. Great food and great people! They've been a staple of Tarrant for at least 30 years, probably longer!“

“I enjoyed my Birthday lunch with some friends here a couple of days ago. Everything I had was delicious! I can’t wait for another reason to enjoy another meal there!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“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!“

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

“We have used Meals by Misty for the past couple of years for men's fishing trip in Venice louisiana. We ship it all down there cold and it is excellent after it is heated up we thoroughly enjoy it and I've done it again for this trip that we're going on October 25“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Love the food, however, on multiple occasions when I get a quick chick on my lunch break I’m only given 4 packs of crackers and I’m not sure how I’m supposed to be satisfied with that as a meal, so the rest of work I’m just starving. Not all the workers are stingy with the crackers, I just don’t know why anyone would think that was enough crackers to give someone“

“Just know that you have to be ready to start ordering before you even get to the steam table. They will point at you and ask what meat you want. Be prepared to decide quickly as you go down the line. DO NOT BE ON YOUR PHONE! I know this sounds harsh but this is how they are able get a lot of people fed. They have a large selection and everything is delicious.“

“Great food and service.“

“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 !!!!!!“

“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!“

“Highly recommended it was wonderful. We always make sure we stop by when we pass. One of my favorite restaurants!!“

“The food is good for what it is. It is a pretty good deal. The staff is usually pretty nice and in a good mood no problems always have my order correct the atmosphere is just an old building in an old place but yet it’s not known for that it’s known for the food that’s like your grandma cooked it in her kitchen“

“Demian and Olivia were a delight. We visited downtown prior to a show at the BJCC and happened upon The Harvest for a quick bite to each. We recieved a warm welcome, fast and friendly service and our food arrived quickly. Demian visited our table numerous times to check on the service and food, the visit definitely completed a wonderful evening. Kudos to your team!“

“My family and I have been traveling and staying in town for about a week. We stopped in for a quick bite our first day and loved it so much that we've eaten here every day since! We don't typically eat out often, but the food is delicious and fresh, the prices are great, and the restaurant was clean and full of delicious options. Most of all, the staff has been absolutely amazing...so friendly, welcoming, and fun to talk to. The atmosphere truly made us feel at home while being away from home. Highly recommend!“

“Excellent service. Our server was Piper, she was always close by and quick to respond every time we needed anything. Food was good and hot. All was good, we will be back soon.“

“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!“
