A couple of our orders were wrong but after notifying someone it was quickly fixed. All in all great atmosphere, decent food, fun drinks, and friendly staff. I will definitely be going again!“

“I love the friendly atmosphere. The chicken plate is Bumping and oh, my Bartender makes the Slamming Bob Marley drinks, so if you want to relax and chill this the low key spot to be. Trackside hun“

“Perfect spot! My niece invited my sister and I out for her 40th birthday party. The lounge was so laid back. Good lighting, parking, and seating. Everything's set up so nice, including the bar, along with great bartenders as well. Great space for a nice party, meeting, reception, etc.“

“This place is cool! It’s set up like a men’s club but it’s not one. Here are my notes

Onyx. 11pm arrival. Only Latino here but nobody cared. Friday. $20 cover. Street parking available. Good crowd and energy. Smoking allowed inside but good ventilation. Music at a tolerable level. You can sit anywhere until someone gets a bottle and wants your spot. Employees are super chill. I would be curious to see this place in the summer with the very clean outdoor pool.

Everyone was friendly and there were some serious cuties here. Nobody in dancer attire. Just people drinking and some girls dancing in street clothes. I’m sure things might change as the night goes on.

I left at 12:30 and the place was getting better and better“

“Amazing atmosphere, service, and cocktails. I went with my friend on a Tuesday night and it was a great place to grab a drink post dinner and chat! Lovely cozy atmosphere with nice music, easy to talk and enjoy our drinks! I got the el Diablo and she got the Granada cocktail both were delightful! Our server Joe was great, very kind, friendly, and prompt in helping us!“

“You do not have to take a drink if you do not want it. And I am pretty sure that your waitress could run circles around you. If that is all that you have to complain about….ONE BEER…you may need to just stay home.“

“Food was good, but everything was cold. Really like the place the staff is excellent. Wish they would concentrate on making sure that the food arrives hot.“

“Every visit = perfection. The service is impeccable and the food is delicious. You can’t go wrong with the Burrata, Kale Caesar, and Calamari!“

“We went to Magnolia Point for the first time last night and are so glad we did. The food was delicious, service fast and attentive and the prices very reasonable. It’s a great place to take kids because it’s got lots of food they would like (fish tocos, hamburgers, etc) and not too fancy. There’s also a great outdoor patio that we cant wait to try. We’ll be back for sure!“

“Best bar in Birmingham — and we have tried ALL of them. The drinks are good (and at great prices, for Birmingham), but the staff and atmosphere are really what makes the place so special. They take a lot of pride in what they do and go out of their way to make sure everyone feels celebrated. Forever grateful for our HOFO crew!“

“Ruby Sunshine Homewood was kind enough to donate delicious Sausage and Bacon to our brunch for Labeled and Loved Jefferson County Sisterhood Circle. We are a support group for special needs moms. The managers Marsha and Andrew were very professional .Your generosity was much appreciated❤️ See you soon!“

“First I would like to thank our server/waiter. He was very friendly. He was knowledgeable, patient and helpful with the menu. We had never eaten Condado before. I am so indecisive with a menu where you can create your own taco burrito and bowls because I want everything! And have questions. He suggested several things and was absolutely correct about them. I ordered a steak soft taco and a chicken soft taco, just meat and cheese. I had just left chemo and was absolutely starving. They loaded the tacos with meat. They were so delicious and flavorful. A burrito was also ordered and it was loaded with ingredients. They are very filling and big enough to share. We will definitely be back. Thank you for our wonderful experience today. I’m also grateful to whomever paid for my meal today. Thank you for showing such kindness.“

“It's already got a "'Nick' name", lol, pun intended. To be around for such a short time and already be addressed so affectionally says it all.“

“The beef bulgogi is just delicious! Going back for the dumplings… the best I’ve ever had 🥟👍🏽. Great service too!“

“It was pretty good the collard greens are super tasty and the fried pickles and ranch is really good. The only reason I didn't give it five stars was I tried the fowl mouth spicy chicken sandwich and it had this weird fish-like smell and taste to it. Maybe something they're using has some type of fish ingredient in it and it somehow snuck its way into the chicken sandwich?“

“Great service and great drinks! Shout out to Princess and Ricky! Always a good time when they are working!“

“We have gone to Freddy’s many times and always had an amazing experience! The service is always amazing, the wine plentiful, and the food delicious and consistent. We had a party for my husband’s birthday this past weekend and were so impressed by the execution of service. If you want to be truly taken care of, come to Freddy’s!“

“Absolutely love it here!! Jorge and his team out do themselves. Check out their Sabana Mexicana and pair with the SyL margarita :)“

“Food and drinks were amazing! Victoria (bartender) was so friendly. Atmosphere was perfect. I'm stuck on the lobster roll and baby baked potatoes but everything that I've ever had (wings, salad, lobster Mac, lobster linguine, wings...) has been delicious!“

“We visited this renovated food hall on our way out of Birmingham. The space itself is really cool and features some great food options. I had the poke and a bubble tea, which were both delicious. There is seating inside the hall and in the attractive patio space outside. Fun spot for a quick lunch!“

“Amazing food, environment, and service by Cody was awesome!“

“Personally have been a Carrigan's fan for a long time. The staff is really on point, just to name drop a few Amanda and Jordan are a unit. They always cater to our needs and never thought I cherished such good hospitality. The invite to the grand opening was really appreciated. Excellent work to the team and David!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Every time I dine at Jinsei I have had the pleasure of being served by Kevin. I can’t say enough about what a fantastic experience I have every single time! Kevin is always smiling and has a genuine enthusiasm that instantly made us feel welcome.

Not only is Kevin a master at providing excellent service, but his friendly demeanor and engaging conversation always makes our dining experience even more enjoyable. It’s rare to find someone who combines professionalism with such a personable touch.

If you’re at Jinsei Sushi, ask for Kevin! His outstanding service will elevate your meal and leave you wanting to return again and again. Thank you, Kevin, for making our visits so memorable!“

“Fantastic cocktail bar! We had delicious drinks and food! The salt and vinegar chickpeas were fantastic! So was the Bahn Mi! We are visiting from out of town and the owner was so kind to tell us about the area and some entertaining stories about his life! He told us the history of the building as well! 10/10 recommend this place or cool vibes, unique cocktail, and delicious food!“

“Great service and quick! The pizza was delicious, great sauce and crust, even better pepperoni cups 😍“

“I’m way behind in offering a recommendation for the Homewood location of Maya. Between there and the Alabaster location, my Mexican food cravings are more than covered and they are always patient with my substitutions and the like. Service is top-notch and the food is excellent. Highly recommended!“

“My husband and I visited the restaurant today and Kendal was awesome. She was very sweet, friendly, and kind. Even got to see Maggie again. Maggie, brought my husband more water and wasn’t our server. Those two servers are what being waitress should be like.“
