“It was our last day in Birmingham and we wanted something good to eat after leaving church. After performing a brunch search on Yelp I stumbled across Biscuit Belly - Hoover and the food pictures alone had me excited to try it out. Finding the location was super simple as it sits in the plaza. As it sits in the plaza there is ample parking which makes it an even better option. Upon walking in, the space is very vibrant and visually appealing. The Biscuit Belly themed artwork is very eye-catching and adds a boutique design feel to the space. The establishment was very clean and they made great use of the space which allows for ample seating. Once you walk in, you grab a menu off the wall and head to the register to place your order. Once your order is placed, if you are choosing to dine-in, you take your number and head to your table. Super quick process with the customer in mind as it allows for the best use of time as it pertains to the overall flow of the order taking. The young man who took my order at the register was very nice. He welcomed me to Biscuit Belly - Hoover with a huge smile and as it was my first time ever, he was patient and offered me some insight into the menu options and helped me make my order selection. Super kudos as I didn’t feel rushed or as if I was being a bother. He allowed my excitement to be excitement as he aided me in my choices. After speaking with him I decided to get, The Boozy Bird - Buttermilk fried chicken breast served with bourbon maple syrup and Praline Mocha - Mocha with caramel, whipped cream and topped with pralines One Word… ASTONISHING!!! The Boozy Bird had the best Buttermilk Fried Breast known to man. The breast was moist on the inside and crunchy on the outside. The seasoning blend was perfect for the breast and paired well with the coating. Though the chicken was amazing, the Biscuit stole the show. Hear me when I say, the biscuit is a well crafted, southern delicacy that is warm in the middle with a slight crunch on the outside. With the breast in the center the biscuit absorbs the seasoning from the coating and forms a perfect marriage of goodness. Though the marriage is great, the biscuit has the ability to stand on its own and satisfy your soul. Now… even if you don’t like sweet chicken, the Bourbon Maple Syrup brings a level of appreciation to the sandwich. It’s not too sweet, but has just enough sweetness to put you in the mindset of an elegant honey butter blend. Oh my gosh… this biscuit was awesome. The Praline Mocha is like nothing I’ve ever had before. Allow me to paint you a picture. Imagine if Homemade Pralines were layered on top of a caramel ice cream, blended together with a sprinkle of love and care then poured into a cup with whipped cream added to the top. Yep! It’s just like that. Furthermore, the crumbles of Praline on top of the whipped cream add a texture layer to the drink that elevates its goodness as it adds an extra hint of almonds and caramelized sugar to the flavor of the sip that captures the pieces. This is something I need in my life that I didn’t know existed until today. As my family and I enjoyed everything that was on the table before us, the experience was taken to higher heights with the service that was provided. A gentleman was walking around checking on the tables. Come to find out his name is Andrew and he is one of the owners. What makes Andrew so incredible is not only was he walking around to ensure the cleanliness of the restaurant but he was cleaning and engaging with the guests as well. He was very welcoming and inviting. We discussed the items that we all ordered and expressed our appreciation for the chef and those involved with making the food AWESOME. After Andrew shared pleasantries with us he got back to work. To my added pleasure, Andrew came back around on his next walk through and introduced us to Rachel and I love herrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. LoL! Rachel is the other owner and was so down to earth and pleasant. She took time to allow us to express our gratitude for the care put into the food. Along with th”
“My wife and I really love this place. It's a fantastic local pub. It has a really good menu and great selection of craft beers. The owner Scott is a great guy and he actually is there serving food and drinks. He will actually know your name after several visits. Let's be honest, that's not normal with your average bar or pub. Live music on Friday and Saturday nights. I would definitely recommend to everyone to visit and make The Casual Pint your local hang out spot.”
“The food is absolutely amazing! I have been to dinner a few times here and the food was delicious! We went for lunch the first time last week and holy moly, it was fantastic!! Highly recommend Tre Luna!”
“I had a birthday dinner there and the vibe was very inviting. This was me and my guests first time ever dining in this establishment. The customer service was excellent, the food was delicious, the drinks were top notch. If you're ever in Hoover, AL. You must check them out! Thank you for making my birthday a success! Kayla E. Thank you for your great customer service!”
“Such a great experience and very kid/pet friendly environment. I always get overwhelmed taking my child and dog out in public places like this but the staff, specifically Harper made us feel right at home. Not to be mention the great selection of beer. 10/10 will definitely be returning.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Food was very good. The hamburgers were top notch. Cool flavors options. My only small complaint was the staff was preoccupied with closing even though we came in close to an hour before close.”
“Overall enjoyable dining experience. Cocktails and food were very good. We had the stuffed grouper, stuffed shrimp, gumbo and crab. Special shoutout to Sharon! She was a delight!”
“It was my1st time at BW, and it was Amazing!!! Our server was Ryan/Drew, who was on point with everything! The food suggestions were great and well described. I ended up with the Taco Salad from the lunch menu, and I must say it didn't disappoint. I was also appreciative of a server named Ebony who was gracious enough to narrow down our food and drink choices. Her customer service went over and beyond! It's hard to find a restaurant with great service and food. I will definitely be back !!!”

“Came in from out of town and this was such a sweet little shop to visit. We got the snickerdoodle, carrot, red velvet and strawberries and cream bundtlette! SO GOOD!”
“I’m not from here . My fiancé and I came in I was very very happy to have actual authentic food . Even down to the side items and garnishes. I’m not Indian but I’m from Sahel . I love eating other cultures food especially when you traveled or grew up around a lot of different cultures. This place made me feel like I was back at my Freinds house and her aunties were teaching me how use certain herbs we created an Indian Arabic fusion . I will be back the place is clean they’re kind very welcoming the crowd wasn’t loud or rude . It was quite but you know talking and laughing is always a wonderful thing to hear while sharing a great meal”
“Megan was truly the most amazing server i’ve ever had at twin peaks! She greeted me with a smile and made sure to take the most top tier care of us! I will always ask for her when I go to Twin Peaks & you should too! She offered me mozzarella bites and i absolutely loved them and was very attentive even while taking care of all her other tables! ? sav the manager was amazing as well! Coming back just for them honestly”
“This place has some of the friendliest, most cheerful customer service I have ever experienced. The food was great, but even if it wasn’t I believe I’d be back just because of the staff’s attitude.”
“We stopped in on our way back to Ohio and experienced THE BEST BURGERS we have had in a while. The food was excellent including the key lime pie and prices were reasonable. Our service was great too. Love that southern hospitality! Wish we had one in Westerville Ohio!”

“This has become one of my favorite places to eat. I have only ever done takeout but there is seating inside and outside. First, the food is delicious. My personal favorite is the chicken shawarma with the lentil rice and hummus. The hummus is some of the best around. The prices are affordable, maybe even a little cheaper than some places. The service is top tier. They will politely answer any questions you have and help you find something you will like. All around great place.”

“Last night my husband and I ate dinner at Firebirds. Our steaks were INCREDIBLE. They could compete with Fleming’s or Perry’s. Our service was excellent. I wish I remembered our servers name, she was quick and very kind (she had on a David Yurman cross pendant, young and light brown hair). I do recommend making a reservation if you’re going on a Friday/Saturday night. As we were leaving, we heard the hostess say it would be a 3 hour wait for the party that just arrived. Will be back!”

“The steak and chicken kababs with rice had great flavor, although they were a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll request the spice on the side. The naan bread was fresh with a pleasant crisp to it. Overall, I enjoyed the dishes and look forward to returning soon.Vegetarian options: Choose from tour veggies”
“We had great service and great food! Portion sizes were large and the quality and presentation of the food was fantastic. A nice atmosphere, white tablecloth dining, but casual enough that it made for a nice date night or a night out with the entire family. We will definitely be back. Zane was our server and he was fantastic and very knowledgeable about all of the menu items, daily specials, and made great recommendations. We will definitely be back!”
“Can't say enough good things about Dale's. Large varied menu, yet everything we've tried has been excellent. Efficient friendly staff, spotless inviting inside. A "must go."”
“Very Americanized. (Yes I know I'm in America) If you're looking for something more authentic this wouldn't be the place. The food was okay for what it was and customer service was great. It is a good spot to come eat with the family or friends but not authentic enough for my liking.”
“Stopped at Pazzo Pizza Truck and grabbed this huge slice of pizza. There is honestly not much to complain about here I just kinda with the sausage crumbles had more flavor maybe better quality not sure if they make those in house or store bought already made but man was this pizza soooooo freaking good and hot! The cheese was perfect with a nice sweet flavor just how I like it, pepperoni was huge and delicious could really taste that smoky pork flavor, the cheese was so well cheesy with a light mild flavor and just amazing, and guys that crust it was a perfect golden brown it was a perfect New York foldable slice and that's what I did I folded that bad boy and destroyed it! Please go check them out and if you can't find their truck then go to their brick and mortar at Pazzo Big Slice! They get a 9.5/10 from me great pizza!”
“Nice, quiet, peaceful dining area. We got the Cream Cheese Harumaki, the Combination Egg Foo Young, and the Orange Chicken. The Orange Chicken was our favorite. We got a side of hot chili oil that we added to it, it was great. Bold citrus flavor with orange peel zest, sweet, bitter, and spicy. Very nice.Want to try the Twice Cooked Pork next time!”
“They have the most authentic Chinese food I've had in Alabama. The Shaun city spicy chicken is absolutely addictive. The staff is always nice and always recommend great new dishes to try. I highly recommend!”
“Honestly was one of the best times I’ve had with my family here. More people should know about it. Would recommend. One thing I would change would be the servers consistent coming back to check for drinks but that’s it, still an amazing ”
“Very satisfied customer here? we really enjoyed our meal! Very fresh and excellent service. I had the Chicken Parmesan with a side of Alfredo sauce to dip the bread in OMG ITS GREAT! Thank you so much for a wonderful dinner!”

“chef London cooked the most delicious meal for me & my waitress Leila was so very kind & very efficient!! Love to eat here often when this pair is working especially!!”
“I tell you what this has got to be one of the most efficient waffle houses I’ve been in. it was clean I sat down I ordered my food and it came so fast I was like magic, then I started watching other people as they started coming in. There’s a full house in here and I don’t think anybody waited more than 2-3 minutes for their food it seemed. Felicia was a great waitress.”
“Men's restroom handicap stall was not clean. Otherwise, it was 5 stars. I'll be glad when McDonald's changes ketchup to one that does not have high fructose corn syrup.”
“Actually have some fire burgers & there BBQ Chicken tender sandwich was pretty good too, just too much BBQ sauce on it so I would ask for it on the side or not so much on it.”

“We stopped here to eat after a baseball game simply because the menu had something all of us would eat. We really enjoyed the decor of metal lunch boxes, variety of overhead music and wing mural photo op. When our food arrived, I was surprised at how huge my buffalo chicken salad was! Everything was delicious and I had to get a to go box for the remainder of my food. All of the staff were super friendly. If we are ever in the area again we will definitely eat here.”

“Great atmosphere. Bart Styes and his lovely wife Shannon are super people. It's a bit of a drive for me. If it were closer I'd have coffee there every day. Also, great view from the bluff.”
“Great service and good food! Sometimes the lunch rush delays getting to order as soon as I would like in the app because the system is back logged but if you go in person, they are fast for the number of people!”
“Amazing food.The pork rinds, pimento cheese, and pepper jelly were a surprisingly good combo!!!Service was excellent and food was perfect.Will be back when I visit Birmingham, AL again.”
“Great atmosphere, customer service and good food. Buffet style diner, meat and 2, meat and 3 or whatever. Cream corn was excellent. Also loved the 7 layer Caramel cake. I had the country fried chicken with white gravy, it was really good. Will definitely return!”
“Absolutely delicious food! The cranberry salad with grilled chicken and the bread pudding is to die for. The service is always impeccable. The Front Porch is one of my favorite restaurants!”
“I was on my way to be a guest on the Blerd Survival Guide podcast and I had a little time to kill so I popped up over to The Electric after being told many times to try it. So what are the odds that this place was only 3 minutes from my destination! Anyways I popped in and checked out the inside and it was a very cool, comfortable, and hype like establishment. I put my order in online and didn't go in until it was the said time they gave me on the order. When I went in my food wasn't ready and so I had to wait probably another 30 minutes. Staff was working hard though so I wasn't stressing about it to hard. Staff was nice and offered me water while I waited. I finally get my food head back to the car and proceeded to unbox everything. I gotta admit that visually the food looked very good. First up I had the Classic which is a Flatbread that consists of pepperoni, conecuh sausage, mozzarella, provolone cheese, and basil. This ended up being very good. Nothing crazy to wow about but it definitely got the job done. Flavors were decently balanced I think my only grip with this is the pizza sauce could use a bit more work. I still would other this again anyways so don't let that stop you. 7.5/10 Lastly I got The Ballpark which consisted of country sausage, chili, cheddar cheese, yellow mustard, scallions, and hugged tight in a toasted bun. This was probably my favorite thing. The chili was so hot and tasted as if it was homemade. If it's not homemade I want to known where they buy it because it was pretty darn good. I'd eat it on its own! The sausage was very flavorful as well. The only issue with this was the bun it's definitely well toasted it was way to hard for me and shredded the roof of my mouth I would personally change the bun to something else but that'd just me. Either way this bad boy is a will order again and I give it a 8.5/10. Definitely go try this place when you get the chance it was really good and I hope I can come back soon!”

“I live about 40 minutes from Shonos but still regularly drive out to get lunch or dinner because it is just so good. It has become my favorite place to get Japanese food. 100% recommend giving it a try.”
“Moved to the area not long ago from Nashville. We were concerned about finding a good sushi place and have tried several around Hoover with not finding the right place yet. Tonight we decided to try Unagi and we are so glad we did! Edamame was fresh, wife had the Hometown Roll and I had the Big Al with Soypaper. They were both delish! Service was just as good. Also had the house ginger salad to round out an overall GREAT experience and meal! We will be back for sure and the bonus is living withing 2 mins. Thanks for a great experience!”
“I've never gave so many 5*. Breakfast was amazing. The atmosphere the employees everything was top notch. Smiles and laughter from every customer I laid eyes on, that should tell you alot about this restaurant.Kid-friendliness: Coloring page and crayons for kids”
“Their calzones are my absolute favorite. Great local place. Will it be the worlds most stunning establishment? Nope. Will the food leave you full and so so happy? Yep. I take my friends here and every single one has loved it.”

“My party of 3 love, love, loved our experience at Taco Mama! No wonder their rating is so high. I had The Mayor chicken tacos with queso, my friend had the Alabama Redneck tacos and queso, and my daughter had the kid's cheese quesadilla. We all finished our entire meals and were super happy with every bite. We ordered at the counter, made our own drinks, and our food was brought to our table quickly. The line was almost out the door when we arrived on a Saturday around 1pm, but the line moved with ease. Our meals were served with restaurant style chips (nice and light and thin), and with a very good salsa. We had options for quite a few different hot sauces, and we liked the Pete's Sriracha added to the salsa the most to add a little heat. Overall excellent experience.”
“recently moved to the area and we have made this our go to for pizza. always good pizza and service. Tonight was our first time to order online for pickup. order was correct and ready when we arrived! great place for pizza!”
“Kailyn is the best. She's the reason we keep coming, well besides the food...lol No really she's great EVERYTHING she recommends is absolutely delicious.”

Clean Eatz
“I’ve been eating Clean Eatz for almost a year now. I have lost 26 lbs, my blood pressure is better and my A1C is down. I love the freezer meals. They have a great variety each week so you never get bored with eating the same thing over and over. The staff is alway friendly and helpful. The meals are reasonably priced. In my book it is a win all the way around.”

“The food is absolutely delicious. We had the brisket with mac and cheese. The marbled brisket falls apart in your mouth. The Mac and cheese is the best I’ve ever had. The cheese biscuits are so incredible. You can tell they take great pride in the quality of their food.”
“I was in Hoover today and this place was recommended by a locals. Oh my goodness, it was a perfect spot for a burger, fries and a coke! I will be driving back from Mississippi just to eat their burgers. see”
“My daughter's future mother-in-law reserved this Santos Coffee House for a private wedding shower and it was wonderful! The staff was so kind and allowed my other daughter (the maid of honor) and all the hostesses to arrive an hour early to set up decorations and favors as the staff set up the pastries and breakfast sandwiches. There were about 60 people in attemdance and we were all comfortable. Everyone had a great time and commented what a great idea it was to have the shower there!”
“I went right before lunch rush and it was wonderful, however as it got closer to noon more people started to come in. There was a birthday party going on, and it ended up being very loud and busy.”
“I get takeout from here often. I don't get wings too often although they are tasty, the burgers are awesome! The menu is huge, fish, chicken, Philly cheese steak, salads, gyros...I think anyone will find something great here and The food is fantastic. Here is a link to a menu, I hope it works.”
“Stephanie waited on me. She was helpful. My first time eating at this place. Stephanie helped me decide on what to other. Great personality and awesome customer service.”
“Walked in and fox news was on. Our party of 7 promptly left. We won't patronize any establishment that panders to that hate. shame on you. we won't be back to any of your locations.”
“I wanted to write a review to express how nice the lady at the drive thru was to me. She had a blue shirt and I think her name was Joy (?). Her friendliness and willingness to help will keep me coming back. If all of your employees are like her, you have an amazing staff! Keep up the good work!”
“I came to this Chick fil A on my birthday this past Thursday to get my free entree on the Chick-fil-A app! The food came out quickly and was delicious per usual, but the staff was not as hospitable as chick fil a usually is. I felt a little rushed but other than that it was great! I got a milkshake and 12 count chicken nugget, both very yummy. The Mac and cheese was the best I've had at CFA!”
“We used Costas to cater a fundraiser for our school's band. Costas was wonderful to work with, very kind and conscientious, they thought of everything we would need for our event, and the food was reasonably priced. our guests loved the salad, bread and entrees (chicken alfredo, lasagna, and baked spaghetti). Costas homemade dressings are fantastic as well--the best ranch and Greek dressings around. Being of Mediterranean descent and a pretty good cook myself, I'm picky about Mediterranean food; Costas tasted like grandma's cooking. Their service was excellent, people friendly & helpful, and everyone was happy with dinner. What more can you ask for?”
“After 11 days without solid food (post surgery) I visited Smoothie King for the first time. Both the staff and a customer helped me choose a delicious, nutritious, protein filled shake and I feel like a new person! Thank you!”
“The food was delicious, fresh, hot and well stocked. Our waitress was extremely attentive. Atmosphere was as expected due to all tables were full that day. I highly recommend lunch ”
“You may have to wait on a few items to be remade but the crew communicate well and are respectful. Particularly, the light skinned black lady( I can’t remember her name). She was really nice to me as I waited for my food. Also, the place inside is clean and well taken care of. My food was also hot, fresh, and tasty.Parking: There’s always about 20 spots to park.”
“This jimmy johns location has always been amazing. Even after I gave birth to my daughter a year ago, I ordered it almost everyday. But lately, they have been messing up every single one of our orders. Over a span of several months. I don’t know if y’all got new management or something, but it would be nice if y’all could get it together. It is nice that y’all do fix it when we call, but even that’s getting kind of old. If y’all can get it together and start making things correctly the first time, that would be super great and I definitely loved ordering from y’all before all of this.”
“Unique among fastfood at this price range. I got the roast beef and swiss cheese with au jus dip. Really tasty.Now, in my opinion the Arby's Curly Fries are the best fast food fries, period. I love to dip them in Arby's Three Pepper Sauce, which is also pretty unique.”
“I've had a lot of kabobs and indian food. In terms of quality, this place has some of best food. Although the price is a bit high.Parking: fineKid-friendliness: good”
“We were working in the area last week and decided to give Jake’s a try! It was delicious! There was no wait, the server was super nice, the food came out quick, & everything was great! We both decided to get the Jamaican Jerk Chicken, with corn bread, Mac and cheese, fried okra, and rice! It was all delicious! The chicken is a little spicy (which we like) but if you don’t do spicy, you might want to choose a different option! For dessert we got the strawberry cake! Everything was great, we will definitely go back in the future! (We even had some left overs)”
“Just tried Ryu out with my boss. We were both so impressed! The sushi chef and server could literally not have been friendlier. I loved that they both seemed to really love being there which is so great for your dining experience. The menu was extensive with a lot of both the classic rolls you expect as well as some fun new and interesting rolls.”

“Great food and wonderful service. Definitely the best small restaurant in town.Parking: Plenty of parking!!Kid-friendliness: Grandchildren have always loved to eat here.”
“Tacos: because it's Tuesday somewhere. I love a good meal from a taqueria about as much as I love a night out at a fancy restaurant. The experience is different, but the level of deliciousness is on par. Since there was SEC football to be watched Saturday night, we were in the mood to hit a taqueria & enjoy the evening at home. I found Taqueria Charros on Yelp. They stood out to me due to their 4.9/5 stars & outstanding reviews. So to Hoover we went.We had to try the tacos, of course. We got an asada & al pastor taco. I'm usually an al pastor kind of gal, but the asada was the star here. Absolutely bursting with flavor & so tender. The reviews I read raved about the asada & I see why. The al pastor was also excellent & very tender...but the asada had a slight edge. I would order both again.We also ordered Huaraches, which I've never had before. It featured cheese, beans, lettuce, avocado, onion, sour cream, cilantro on fried masa dough & I chose cabeza as the meat. Where has this dish been all my life?! Absolutely delightful! The fried masa dough is a bit more thick than a tortilla. It's soft on the inside & nice & crisp on the outside. The cabeza meat was extraordinary. Buttery & savory. This could possibly be my new fav taqueria dish.We also ordered a chicken burrito featuring cheese, beans, rice, bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, mushroom, lettuce & cilantro. The chicken was amazing. It packed a tiny bit of heat which was nice.The dishes are served with red & green salsas. The red is pretty hot & was the one I preferred. It was too hot for my wife, but she enjoyed the mild green one.Taqueria Charros is PHENOMENAL! Though this was our 1st visit they're seriously in my top 3 favorite taquerias. Service was very friendly. Absolutely give this place a try. I know we will without a doubt be back soon! 2963 John Hawkins Pkwy, Hoover 35210 Chevron parking lot.”
“We discovered this coffee shop while visiting Birmingham for a couple days. The coffee is excellent - smooth, rich without acidic after taste. They even made me a flat white! Delicious brown sugar scone. The ambiance is relaxing as a vibrant community gathering place.”
“Realmente son los originales, mis colegas no perdonan cuando pasamos por allí el comer alguna de las delicias que se venden aquí, mis favoritos son los tacos de pollo.”
“Love this place as a former gm of a big chain subshop for me most sub shops are separated by quality and condiments and that pickle relish is heavenly and with firehouse not having there patent hot sauce bar nobody comes close sub to ”
“We stopped in on a whim, and we're so glad we did. The gentleman that helped us was so nice and talkative. He insisted we try multiple flavors before deciding, and we were glad because everything is soooo good here, it was hard to decide. We'll definitely be back more often.”
“It's rare when you encounter great service, good food, and follow up to an order.The Birria Tacos were 4 stars by itself. The crispiness of the tortilla, the meat was tender along with cilantro and onion. Be sure to add some lime and sauce. The red sauce is spicy and the green is a milder level of heat. Either sauce you choose, will add the heat level to yourtaco.The consome (soup), brings the taco to another level and for the case of ratings to five stars. Its adds a savory pack of flavor. Adding squirts of lime juice to the consome added a citrus tone to the savory soup.We tried both w/cheese and without. As for flavor, it did not add or take away from the savory flavors of the Birria Taco.The price of the Birria taco was $4. If you buy 2 or more tacos the consome is included. If you love tacos this is the spot to get your fill. The tacos are just as affordable as a fast food meal but tastier with fresh ingredients. Just a tip, bring cash, there's a fee for card users.”
“I love the fresh choices CAVA has to offer but my reason for this review today is the customer service!Tammy is so sweet, energetic, and happy to help each customer have the best experience possible.Definitely the best customer service I have had anywhere in a very long time!”
“I had a great lunch at Hometown Fare. The food was fresh and delicious. I had the Ham & Collard Green Melt which was outstanding and Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts were some of the best I've had anywhere. Great personal service made it feel like I was dining with family.”
“Seriously wondering why we don’t go here more often…good food, plus great drinks with quick & friendly service. We had the fried mozzarella, build your own burgers, funnel cakes with caramel & chocolate sauce, with sweet tea & Pineapple Express to drink. Our server was nice & attentive, we’ll definitely be back soon!!!”
“First time eating here. The food was good. Kind of like Hattie B's hot chicken. The wings were good. The fries were good. Service was a little slow. It took us like 20 minutes to get our food from the time we ordered until they put it on the table. The restaurant was clean and the employees were nice. I would absolutely go back again and recommend you try it yourself.Wheelchair accessibility: Not very wheelchair accessible ?”
“The food was delicious here. I had the spinach and feta tart. My friend had the pimento BLT. She love her food as much as I liked mine. I had a side of the tomato basil soup. The soup was good too. It isn't a smooth soup but you can tell it's freshly made because of the tiny lumps from the tomatoes. The crust on my rear was flakey and light, not dense at all. The tart was fluffy and flavorful. It was perfectly warm too. The soup came with crackers but that seemed unnecessary and they weren't eaten. It also came with a sour cream biscuit. That was my last favorite item. It's very small so I broke it up into my soup. The flavor is different. It's another thing not needed imo. Overall, I'll return simply for the great vegetarian options and freshness of the food. The drink station did have an odor and smelled like it needed to be cleaned too. The odor could ruin an appetite it was so strong. Hopefully they'll correct that soon!Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian options. There are many on the menu. I was surprised by just how many! The sides are all practically vegetarian too.Parking: There's parking but if the other shops are busy, it is limited.”
“I just ate here for the first time, and when the staff said I’d be back they weren’t kidding! The food was amazing and reminded me of good home cooking. The staff were so nice and helpful with ordering. We mentioned that we hadn’t been here before and they jumped right into giving us suggestions! We got our food quickly, and we had good portion sizes as well. I cannot wait to come back to try more things from the menu. 20/10 would recommend.”
“Amazing! Stopped by here for a sweet treat after a hike and was very impressed by the variety of popsicles/paletas, ice cream and other treats. My daughter had a strawberry paleta with real cookie pieces and I loved my delicious Pinon paleta, which reminded me of my trips to New Mexico. Staff was also super friendly. This was my first visit but won't be my last!”
“Absolutely live this place. We and my husband gets the vegetable plate. The seasonings they use makes it the best I've had. There broccoli, cabbage, noodles, mac n cheese, zuchinnis and a roll is my dish. Mmm so good. 5 star def.Vegetarian options: So many vegetables. I am vegetarian and I love this placeParking: We parked at the main entrance past belk and the parking decon on the right, right before you get to Macy's it takes you in on top floor, zales will be on the right when you walk in.Kid-friendliness: It is in the food court and there are lots of children. They also have a carousel that my little boy loves to ride as long as there is someone there running it.Wheelchair accessibility: If u come in on the bottom floor it will be easier than going down the escalators.”
“This place has great food. The salsa is superior and the chips were fresh and hot. My Bahama mama was perfect! The street tacos and seafood quesadilla were also delicious. Our server was very kind. The only complaint was I had to grab our own napkins and silverware but it happens.We’ll be back!”
“Just had lunch and the food is always good. But today I met Carla. Wow, absolutely the best server I've ever met. Turned an already good meal into an exceptional dining experience thanks ”

“We enjoyed excellent rooms, great food from the Marketplace and Starbucks. We were extremely disappointed that we spent 3 months on their app to collect points to purchase Freeplay. It advertised one price for months. So when we walked in the casino the cost went from costing 120,000 to over 44,448,000. It's just very wrong and myApparently this is common practiceJust dishonest in my opinion. I mean the least they could do if I'm going to drop a ton in their casinos is to let me purchase the Freeplay that's advertised for the advertised price with our spiking it to a unachievable amount.Parking: Valet available and free parking lotWheelchair accessibility: Everything is accessible”
“Such a phenomenal experience! Great food, very pleasant and professional atmosphere with exceptional service to top it off! We will definitely be back! Hoover, the manger on duty, is OUTSTANDING!!!”
“I get takeout from here often. I don't get wings too often although they are tasty, the burgers are awesome! The menu is huge, fish, chicken, Philly cheese steak, salads, gyros...I think anyone will find something great here and The food is fantastic. Here is a link to a menu, I hope it works.”
“Great service and good food! Sometimes the lunch rush delays getting to order as soon as I would like in the app because the system is back logged but if you go in person, they are fast for the number of people!”

“This place is one of my favorite places in Birmingham/Hoover. Food is great. Service is friendly. All artist are amazing. Sharron is my favorite! The atmosphere is definitely for the grown-ups. Perfect for a date night, anniversary, birthday, girls' night out, or a solo date. You will dance, sing, sway and enjoy the music.”

“The food was absolutely amazing! 8 highly suggest that if you like wings then you've definitely gotta try this place out. Hands down the best wings I've ever had! Seriously, the best! As for the service it definitely could've been better as far as the guy behind the counter taking my order, he could've been a little more helpful when explaining the menu ECT... Lastly, the atmosphere. Wait! What atmosphere? There is no atmosphere. Seriously, go check this place out and then get back at me about an atmosphere. I'll let you be the judge of that. Just remember what I said, The Best Wings I've Ever Eaten in My Entire 41 yrs of being here on this earth. I suggest calling your order in and going and picking it up and then taking it to a place of your choosing. Enjoy!”
“I was on my way to be a guest on the Blerd Survival Guide podcast and I had a little time to kill so I popped up over to The Electric after being told many times to try it. So what are the odds that this place was only 3 minutes from my destination! Anyways I popped in and checked out the inside and it was a very cool, comfortable, and hype like establishment. I put my order in online and didn't go in until it was the said time they gave me on the order. When I went in my food wasn't ready and so I had to wait probably another 30 minutes. Staff was working hard though so I wasn't stressing about it to hard. Staff was nice and offered me water while I waited. I finally get my food head back to the car and proceeded to unbox everything. I gotta admit that visually the food looked very good. First up I had the Classic which is a Flatbread that consists of pepperoni, conecuh sausage, mozzarella, provolone cheese, and basil. This ended up being very good. Nothing crazy to wow about but it definitely got the job done. Flavors were decently balanced I think my only grip with this is the pizza sauce could use a bit more work. I still would other this again anyways so don't let that stop you. 7.5/10 Lastly I got The Ballpark which consisted of country sausage, chili, cheddar cheese, yellow mustard, scallions, and hugged tight in a toasted bun. This was probably my favorite thing. The chili was so hot and tasted as if it was homemade. If it's not homemade I want to known where they buy it because it was pretty darn good. I'd eat it on its own! The sausage was very flavorful as well. The only issue with this was the bun it's definitely well toasted it was way to hard for me and shredded the roof of my mouth I would personally change the bun to something else but that'd just me. Either way this bad boy is a will order again and I give it a 8.5/10. Definitely go try this place when you get the chance it was really good and I hope I can come back soon!”
“Amazing food.The pork rinds, pimento cheese, and pepper jelly were a surprisingly good combo!!!Service was excellent and food was perfect.Will be back when I visit Birmingham, AL again.”

“I’m not from here . My fiancé and I came in I was very very happy to have actual authentic food . Even down to the side items and garnishes. I’m not Indian but I’m from Sahel . I love eating other cultures food especially when you traveled or grew up around a lot of different cultures. This place made me feel like I was back at my Freinds house and her aunties were teaching me how use certain herbs we created an Indian Arabic fusion . I will be back the place is clean they’re kind very welcoming the crowd wasn’t loud or rude . It was quite but you know talking and laughing is always a wonderful thing to hear while sharing a great meal”
“My daughter's future mother-in-law reserved this Santos Coffee House for a private wedding shower and it was wonderful! The staff was so kind and allowed my other daughter (the maid of honor) and all the hostesses to arrive an hour early to set up decorations and favors as the staff set up the pastries and breakfast sandwiches. There were about 60 people in attemdance and we were all comfortable. Everyone had a great time and commented what a great idea it was to have the shower there!”

“Very satisfied customer here? we really enjoyed our meal! Very fresh and excellent service. I had the Chicken Parmesan with a side of Alfredo sauce to dip the bread in OMG ITS GREAT! Thank you so much for a wonderful dinner!”
“Tried out Vecchia for lunch today. Located in the Moss Rock area of Hoover it was a little out of the way for us, but was recommended by a friend.At first glance, from the outside, I thought that this might be a nice place. Upon entrance I was shuttled down a narrow hallway lined with drinks and wines to a cashiers desk. We placed our order and served ourselves bottled drinks, from a cooler behind us.The prices for a 10 oz pie were $18 so I was hoping for a great find in wood fired pizza for our area.We then went around the corner to a very table cluttered dining area. After noticing that if you asked for water that it was “self serve” from a high school style water fountain in plastic cups. No wait staff roomed the area, only the cashier and the two cooks.When the pizza arrived it was fresh out of the wood fired oven. Nice char in spots but the bottom was still a little under cooked. I ordered the classic pepperoni but had to search to find said toppings. Scarce and unevenly distributed.Then came the bite; the tip of my slice was soggy and limp. No crunch. The bone was nice and crisp with good flavor. The red tomato sauce was bland at best, no spices, I ended up adding salt to my slice to help the flavor. Cheese was thin but nice flavor and pull.I looked for Parmesan, but had to go to the water fountain to find the powdered cheese shaker. (No fresh Parmesan available)Nothing was on the tables but a beer bucket with plastic utensils and off brand napkins.For what was told to me was a true Italian pizzeria I was disappointed. Pizza wasn’t bad but could have been so much better with somespices and flavor. And charging these prices I would expect some wait staff and fountain drinks. (Ditch the high school water fountain).Establishment was clean and staff was nice. Food was OK, maybe even good had it been a lower price point. But Vecchie has some loyal followers and it was busy for that time of day, so others must enjoy it.Overall 3.5 stars!”
“We always enjoy ordering from Papa Johns app. The other day the app was giving me trouble with my order and I accidentally ordered the same thing twice. They were kind enough to call me to let me know that my order was duplicated. Very wonderful customer service.”

“Senor Cook as I call him has a mastery in the art of tacos quesadillas and torta. I am here to tell you all that anything less than 5 stars is a disrespect to this man's craft talent and dedication to such flavorful street tacos. His truck is very clean and his workers are polite and have a refined palete to tell you and present to you whatbgood really is when it comes to tacos especially the tacos with all the meats in them.”
