“Visiting here from Pittsburgh, Pa. Great little sandwich shop…had the Camilla. I have to say it was the best sandwich I’ve ever had! Friendly atmosphere and wonderful service. I will be back on my next visit!!!“

“I love wings plus. Out of all of the Wings joints I've been to Wings Plus in Bluff Park tops them all. I have never had anything less than freshly made delicious food and I don't just order wings. The place is always neat. I know restaurants were hit hard by the pandemic and have a hard time finding people to work. I've never been treated anything less than respectful and kind. The guys in there are great“

“We ate here for the 2nd time today. Great food, drinks, and service. Definitely a preference when passing through the area.“

“Exceptional in every way. The food is always over the top. They go above and beyond to make this the best dining experience. It's our favorite Birmingham restaurant.“

“This was our 32nd anniversary dinner. The restaurant made us feel welcome and special. Our starter was a gift of the house and we chose the charcuterie board. The board was well balanced and was a great start on the meal. With the starter we also had two signature cocktails for the fall menu. We chose the Infused Apple Bourbon drink and the Cranberry Sage Gin drink. These provided a great start to the meal. For our entrees we chose the Filet and the Kona-seasoned Lamb. Both were accompanied by broccolini and mashed potatoes. The meat was prepared perfectly and was well seasoned and sauced. The sides were well prepared as well. We finished the meal with a Belgian Chocolate Mousse. All in all an excellent meal.“

“We came for our 37th wedding anniversary. It was our 1st time eating here. Our server was Bishop. Bishop was amazing....staring woth the glass of celebratory champaign, picking a perfect wine pairing, explaining the dishes, great sense of humor....he helped make our experience fun and memorable. The food....OH. MY. GOODNESS!!! The food was amazing. Cooked to perfection! From the bread, Amuse Bouche, appetizer (great fried green tomatoes, by the way!!!) Intermezzo, main course (ribeye and braised rabbit), and dessert with coffee....every step was amazing! A truly wonderful sensual experience from all the aromas, flavors, and ambiance. We will definitely be back, and will definitely recommend Cafe DuPont to others. Thank you for making our celebration special!“

“It was my very first time here and the service was amazing, I can’t wait to come back and bring me family.“

“loved loved loved it. highly recommend“

“Stopped in for lunch with my toddler and sat outside. Staff was super friendly and welcoming, which was a nice start. Food-wise…it wasn’t the best I’ve ever had, but definitely not the worst either. I’d eat here again.

The kid’s corn dogs were a hit and my daughter devoured them. Fries were very salty (which I actually love), but a bit much for my toddler, so I kept those to myself. The egg rolls were just okay, like a 3/5. They needed a better dipping sauce…. not sure what exactly, but the ones that came with it were kinda blah.

Wings had good flavor, but they had that weird fridge taste… might’ve just been me. I took them home, tossed them in some hot BBQ sauce, hit them with the air fryer, and they turned out pretty tasty.

Sitting outside was fine, but a few patio fans would’ve helped with the heat. There were a lot of flies, but hey….. that’s just outdoor dining sometimes.

Oh and when it’s time to pay, you have to pay on their handheld device and it’s just annoying to me. It’s 2025, just give me a receipt with a QR Code to scan (with exception of paying cash).

Overall, chill spot. I’d come back.“

“Last night I went there beautiful place relaxing Friendly place. I will come again. 10/10“

“We had my daughters Baby Sprinkle at bistro V Thursday night. The food and wine were wonderful. 😄“

“Amazing food and great service. 🙂“

“Absolutely divine food. Very glad we choose to try you. We got take away“

“I am new to the area and saw this place today. They had slices of pound cake and mini pies. They might have had other items too but I only noticed these, they captured my attention right away. I purchased a mini sweet potato pie, key lime, and a pecan. I also purchased a slice of lemon pound cake. My 12 year old announced she didn’t like pound cake or pie… A couple of hours later I tried the sweet potato pie. The 12 year old asked for a taste and begged to have the rest. Tonight we equally ate the lemon pound cake. Both superb. We haven’t tried the other 2 minis yet, but have no doubt they will be equally delicious. This place had the most delicious sweet potato pie and even better than my own (really good) lemon pound cake. Prices are reasonable and they have fantastic employees.“

“Been wanting to try this for a long time. I can critically(costructively) say that some portions were too small for the one-time cafeteria type service. But the staff and atmosphere were comfy. Nothing fancy. The food was seasoned well. Not surprised when seeing the seasoned cooks! lol! No long wait to be served when we arrived right about 11:25 a.m. Parking is tight and crowded. Getting your food to go and drive-through are great options. I will return.“

“Brick & Tin in Birmingham strikes a pleasing balance between casual charm and conscientious cuisine. From the start, you sense its farm-to-table ethos: the menu emphasizes locally sourced ingredients and humane, additive-free meats. 

One of the highlights is how flexible they are: soups, paninis, salads, small plates, and full entrées provide enough variety to satisfy both light-lunch seekers and diners craving something more substantial.  Their brisket panini draws particular praise—tender meat, caramelized onions, and a well-balanced sauce—while seasonal soups (especially the butternut squash) are often lauded for their comforting warmth and depth.“

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

“All the sandwiches I have tried have been awesome (and huge) but if you haven’t tried The Farmers Daughter, you should! Absolutely out of this world. Nothing like it!“

“Fantastic meal and drinks!“

“I come when I have free time away from the kidos. Great atmosphere Ethan’s hall pass drink is very good. He and Brooklyn make me feel like we’re old friends tho I just started coming there. Great staff, hot fresh taste to the food. Always a pleasure. Thanks guys!“

“Love observing people bring their vision and craft to life. The atmosphere, team, and food they’ve passionately brought to life in this space is inspiring.“

“This is a Saturday lunch ritual when daughter, wife and I are all in town. We all get the exact same item (Pick 2, grilled chicken sandwich and Pepper patch salad), and it's always great. They also have great tea.
Highly recommend the place. Staff is very nice and helpful as well.“

“Food is good, and won’t break the bank. Dining room is small and crowded so expect a good bit of noise. The soft shell crab bao buns are my favorite.“

“My first time at The Club! I was there for a scholarship dinner and thoroughly impressed. I asked about joining and was told that you had to be recommended. This is definitely a shortcoming for the club as I do not know many people in Alabama. This rule needs to be changed.“

“Great food and really awesome atmosphere!“

“First tiñe in Alabama and stayed at the Renaissance Ross Bridge golf and country club. What a Lovely resort with superb golf. We dined at Brock’s restaurant. What a delightful surprise. Good, service and ambience all excellent. Chef Mark has amazing talent with combing flavors. Very creative and delicious food. Amazing talent. Kay was a wonderful server as well. Made our evening extra special. Thank you.“

“Atmosphere outdoor was great. Food was excellent. Eggplant parm, grouper, steak and low country boil with appetizers of bread and oysters. Everyone enjoyed their meal and themself. Service was spot on and could not ask for better service. Thank you for providing!“

“Our family (my husband & I & our three toddlers) was in the area today & were recommended Real & Rosemary for lunch. We had a wonderful experience. The staff was incredibly welcoming & accommodating! The food was absolutely delicious! We will definitely be adding this to our list of favorites in the Birmingham/Homewood area!“

“I've never done this before, but I'm not even going to mention the food in this survey, nothing wrong with it, it just doesnt hold a candle to the service we received! We ate there tonight and had Maddy D as our server and she was unlike any server I've ever had. I mean she was holding multiple trays and plates effortlessly while navigating the handheld scanner, while cracking jokes and making the whole table feel invited and welcomed. I have truly never seen someone so great at what they're doing, working their butt off but not at all letting you know how hard they're working. I would say she's the type of server everyone should strive to be like, but I dont think that level is achievable. If you are a business owner and want the most capable employee, come to soho social and ask for Maddy d. FIND ANY position in your company for her and she will nail it, she's that kind of person.“

“Great place! Great food! Really fun to sit outside over a fire pit during the winter months, or hang out with your friends during the summer. Got a great patio, I don't know if they ever do live music if they don't they should have a guy outside playing guitar, but this is a great area, wonderful food“

“Great food and a fancy experience that is very high touch and low worry!“

“Great food and service :)“

“Our family (my husband & I & our three toddlers) was in the area today & were recommended Real & Rosemary for lunch. We had a wonderful experience.

“OMGOSH!!!! I ate at Steel City last night (12/21/22) as I am staying on property at the HI. We had a party of six. EVERY ORDER WAS SUPERB!! I had the grilled pork chops, mac and cheese and mashed potatoes! Delicious!!! The pork chops - yes two came on my order - were grilled to perfection! They were great cuts and TENDER! The mac and cheese and the potatoes were both homemade and delightfully seasoned! I almost asked the waiter if the cook was married! I want to carry him home with me!? Two adults in our party had Philly steak and cheese; two children had flatbread pizza - one cheese and one pepperoni - and our 15 year old had a burger with mushrooms EACH PERSON RAVED OVER THEIR MEAL. EVERYTHING WAS GREAT AND NICE PORTIONS!!! We are good cooks and we know good food!!!! Do not think twice - eat at Steel City!!! You will NOT be disappointed!!!! PS We are eating there again today before our flight to Florida?“

“On Saturday, April 5, 2025, I had my retirement dinner at Culinary Dropout. There were twenty people in my party. Our server Natalie was a "little dynamo". Even the restaurant was crowded due prom season, she got all drink orders promptly. The starters orders arrived soon after. Then the entrees. She was there for drink refills and other requests. She handled the situation with grace, kindness and professionalism. Her and the other wait staff were truly exceptional. The bartenders got drink orders promptly and made to protection. They made my 25 year retirement celebration truly awesome! I will definitely book any future events with this amazing restaurant. Kudos!!!!“

“Best pork-chop EVER!! And our server Mary Kay gave us top notch service! She was truly Amazing!“

“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.“

“When I go to Topgolf, I typically have a great time but last night I was disgusted me and two friends went there to eat and have a good time we went into the restaurant. We waited an hour before anyone even spoke to us then when we stopped a few of the workers one guy with dreads that was working the bar with a red shirt on, he was rude. When I asked did he work there and when I asked him to get us a server he ignored me after several attempts to get an employee to come, Services us savanna a server came to the table after 45 minutes of trying her best to ignore us and several other customers and asked the drink orders but at this point we’re ordering food as well long story short we spent we came in at 9 didn’t leave the restaurant part until 1130 and missed our spot at the golf course. When we asked for the check that took 45 minutes even though it was almost empty in the place. It seem like no manager cared or just wasn’t present the place was being ran by kids and it was horrible.“
