Burger Restaurants near Irondale

“A jewel on the road less traveled. Solid food. A burst of pure family spices and recipes of delicious goodness. Home food , soul food, seafood boil..... It is worth the drive , the price and the curiosity! Large portions! Check it out!!!!!!!“

“We love Marty’s GM SO much! We moved away from the area years ago but still try to plan our trips to Birmingham around a trip to Marty’s! We always get the Chicken Bacon Ranch Egg Rolls, Goat Popper Burger, and French Fries. And then depending on what they have in the frozen machine, a frozen margarita or a bushwacker. Everything is always perfectly cooked and delicious! Honestly , it’s wild how consistent the food has been over the years. Absolutely fantastic every time we go.“

“Edit:
c: they remade it, and was nice about it (you have to have your receipt i got lucky they could find my order - even tho it turned out i did have it), having to drive back once getting home was annoying. **I've been informed my my friends that's just what BK fries in AL tastes like so..yeah.

🥴😭 WHO IS BOUT TO EAT THIS??
I could have waited for the burger to be re-cooked yall. There's no way the cook didn't see this was burnt to the heavens. I had to turn flash on for the pics. 😭 It smells so bad, like char. The fries taste strange as well!“

“Friendly staff, cool atmosphere, great burgers. What more do you need? ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I cannot say enough good things about Baha Burger. I have celiac disease and cannot have dairy either, and not once have I gotten sick from the Patchwork farms location. The entire staff is well-trained about cross-contact, super careful, and truly understand dietary restrictions. My favorite thing to order is the baby turkey burger, gluten free bun, no blue cheese, and either fruit, sweet potato fries, or both! Thank you Baha Burger for being a safe place for celiacs to eat! I've been here numerous times and will continue to be a regular.“

“Travis Chicago Style Food Truck is hands-down the best ever! The hot dogs are unmatched, the burgers are incredible, and the flavors are always on point. Damian has the best customer service and is truly the sweetest soul — friendly, fast, and always makes you feel welcome. If you’re looking for the best Chicago-style eats around, this is the spot!“

“My wife and I were in Birmingham and looking for someplace for dinner and came upon Whiskey Foxtrot on a google maps search. The restaurant has a cool vibe and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful! My wife had the Cowgirl and I had the Classic, both were delicious! She ordered the loaded fries and I ordered the loaded tots, both were great but we should have just shared one order since neither of us could finish. I REALLY wish we had one of these in Tuscaloosa!“

“Such a great burger & fries!! Go check them out you will not be disappointed! And the owners are cool!“

“I went there for the first time today,I enjoyed a delightful mimosa and had the most amazing breakfast sandwiches in my entire life! The service,atmosphere,and food is amazing!!“

“This place really surpassed my expectations! The food was great and the service was even better! I’m very impressed with the fact that the burger not only had plenty of meat, but also didn’t fall apart/get soggy! Definitely worth the visit!“

“I love the burgers and fries, often I substitute cornballs for fries. The breakfast is delicious, and the biscuits are the best in town. There is interesting Alabama and Auburn memorabilia and photos on the walls. Plus a Homewood Patriots jersey. The staff and manager are friendly and professional.“

“They are a small business food truck that demonstrates nothing but exemplary customer service. My husband went by while they were in Helena for their to die for peach crumble. They were out of the dessert but they offered to make half a pan for us and said they will have it ready the next day at their next location at Shelby Baptist. I went by to pick it up and not only did they have it ready but they brought it out to me at my car. They are such nice people and I’m very happy at the customer service they display. Let’s support Battle Axe and I urge you to make it a point to go by and try all of their scrumptious food. Thank you Battle Axe.“

“Great food and a great atmosphere along with speedy service-what more does anyone need??“

“Family and I had some time to to explore Birmingham before our flight home so we drove aimlessly around and first stumbled across Gatos & Beans (I did a complete review on that wonderful location). Emily recommended Joyland for a bite to eat as her establishment mainly served coffee and snacks.

Oh my GOSH, what a positive, upbeat, and tasty experience.

Joyland primarily serves Breakfast, Burgers, Hotdogs, drinks (they also have an impressively stocked bar,) and desserts.

The atmosphere is upbeat, friendly and inclusive. It gives off more of an eatery vibe than bar.

The menu has Gluten Free, and Vegetarian options. (I didn’t ask about vegan, sorry). Their crinkle cut fries are GF, crispy, and tasty.

The Cashier/server who helped us was Garret, Jake the General Manager also helped keep our order super fast and smooth.

When I again visit Birmingham, Joyland is already on my list of things to do.

“Great service and food is always good.“

“Flew in from Houston and so glad I stopped here. Had the fried green tomato BLT with a cold PBR draft and it was amazing! If you’re in Birmingham you gotta give this place a try, 100 out of 100 ⭐️’s!!“

“Atmosphere was good, service was quick. Decent burger but nothing extraordinary.“

“I absolutely love this place! literally, this place is absolutely phenomenal. there's two separate bartenders that are there on any given morning... both these girls are absolutely fantastic. both of them are really really pretty and they've got amazing attitudes, they've always got a smile on their face and what's amazing is, you can walk in on a Monday morning like this morning, knowing it's Monday and it's overcast and those two girls were laughing and cutting up and smiling and it just put you in a really really really amazing mood to start your day. I'm of the belief that if we can be around people that can brighten our day, then we definitely should. these girls start my morning off on a positive foot. I don't feel like a customer, honestly I try to bring them either energy drinks or donuts and then eat the world's greatest biscuits and gravy, that gravy is absolutely amazing, and there's always a smile on their face, it's always an amazing time and I look forward to each time I come which is about 3 or 4 days a week. the stores always really clean, and it smells amazing. the restrooms are always in great condition, sitting at the bars amazing, there's never food left around or sitting around, they're quick to clean up the tables, these girls really run the show, and everybody else in the background does an amazing job too. really thankful for this place, and I'm really glad that I get to be a part of the BBB family! Yall rock“

“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!“

“This past Saturday, I treated myself to a me date a day dedicated entirely to myself. After indulging in a relaxing one-hour massage, I found myself absolutely starving. Wanting to try something new, I continued my exploration of Homewood’s restaurant scene and landed on The Battery. I met my aunt there for lunch, and as soon as we arrived, I knew we were in for a treat. The place was packed inside and out which is usually a great sign. After about a 15 minute wait, we were seated. The interior had a modern, inviting atmosphere, and the service was excellent. Our waiter was incredibly kind, answered all of my questions, and I never once had to ask for a refill. Despite the restaurant being full, the service was impressively quick, and every dish arrived hot. Appetizers Buffalo Wings – The wings were well-sauced and smoked to perfection, with the meat falling off the bone effortlessly. However, the biggest letdown was the lack of seasoning. While the smoky flavor was great, the wings themselves needed more depth. 7.9/10 (With proper seasoning, this would easily be in the high 8s or even a 9). Queso & Chips – The chips were fresh, crunchy, and unseasoned but still did the job. The queso had potential, but it lacked the bold flavors needed to truly stand out. It wasn’t bad, but it could have been much better. 6/10 Entrées & Sides Wedge Salad – The salad itself was solid, but the bacon was a miss. It had an overpowering liquid smoke taste, leaving a strange aftertaste and smell. 7/10 Fries – These were outstanding hot, crispy, and well-seasoned. I also appreciated the variety of cuts and shapes. 8.5/10 Smash Burger – A well-executed smash burger with that signature crispy edge and juicy interior. However, the meat itself wasn’t seasoned, which held it back from being exceptional. 8/10 Final Thoughts Overall, The Battery was a great experience, and I’d happily return. The biggest downside was the lack of seasoning across multiple dishes. If they improved that, their food would easily score even higher. That said, I still highly recommend trying this place. Final Rating: 8/10 Service: 10/10 – Absolutely fantastic staff! Would I go back? Without a doubt.“

“The Homewood location is fantastic. Food was great, quick service, extremely clean and tidy! I had only ever been to Irondale, but we were in the area and decided to stop in for lunch. The customer service was top notch!“

“I have come into Marky's several times over the last couple of weeks - it is number one in Cahaba Heights in terms of efficiency and friendly staff. The food is quality, served so efficiently, and tastes great. Shout-out to Millie* and Prashant* for always being engaging, humorous, and smiling. Their hospitality goes a long way. Consider me a ride or die fan.“

“great service!! Thanx to Amy fulvi for a great burger!!“

“We love this restaurant and had a phenomenal experience on 2 different occasions. Today they did a fantastic job for our son's birthday. The food was amazing and the staff is so friendly. The atmosphere is cozy and beautiful. We definitely will make this our place to escape from the average dining places.“

“Big Dawgs Bessemer is celebrated for its bold, flavorful burgers like the Bully, crafted with fresh ingredients and grilled to perfection. The welcoming atmosphere and standout customer service make it a top choice for those seeking quality comfort food in a casual setting.“

“Came in for a quick lunch with my husband before a movie! We really enjoyed our double bacon burgers. 🍔 if you are thinking about getting some fry’s just do it!“

“Amazing food, great staff and beautiful space“

“The absolute best!! We love Mr. West’s, can’t count how many times we’ve been since they opened! The food is always fresh and delicious, and comes so quickly! We have tried just about everything on the menu, and I’d recommend it all. My personal favorites are the shrimp tempura rice bowl, the spicy garlic noodles, the nachos, and the dumplings. You truly can’t go wrong!“

“It's a hole in the wall place but the food is great. I had the cheese burger and onion rings and they were awesome. My kid had the chicken sandwich with fries and he loved it! All together with an extra side of fries I paid about $26 so it wasn't bad for the amount of food we got :)“

“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!“

“I love coming to Slutty Vegan. I used to go to the ones in Atlanta (Ralph David and Edgewood), but I've moved to Alabama about 10 months ago. I loved when I realised that they had a shop here in Birmingham.

Their slutty fries is amazing with the spicy agave mustard or hunny mustard. 9/10

Can't go wrong with the fussy hussy if you're looking for the normal toppings that come on a burger. 8/10

When I get a burger from here, though, I like the one night stand because I like the v. bacon. 9/10

The boujee heaux is their fried cauliflower wings. I've only ever tried the 10pc garlic parm w. fries, but it's amazing. 9/10

I've had the banana pudding before. I don't get it anymore, but it's still delicious. I like my banana pudding a little more solidified, whether it is the breading/crumbles, or actual bananas. This does mimic a legitimate pudding though. 9/10

The hollywood hooker is a good v. philly. I don't normally eat philly cheesesteaks that often, so it's almost a bit much for me due to the amount of stuff in it, but I can still appreciate the flavour profiles, the necessary toppings to make it a philly, and the ability for Slutty Vegan to make a tasty version of the classic sandwich. 9/10

I've only had the project chik one time, and that was when it first came out. At that time, it was a limited time item. I didn't like this sandwich as much, but that's because it wasn't saucy. I think they've added ranch or mayo, but it wasn't enough, so you can simply get extra ranch/mayo. 6.5/10

The sweet potato pie is delicious. 10/10

The hooker fries are delicious. Arguably the best item on the menu for me. If there's any legitimate critique I have of Slutty Vegan, it's that the buns get soggy really quickly from the burger, so it can feel like eating the toppings and patty with a mushy bun sometimes. So, I mostly get the hooker fries when I visit because there is no bun to worry about, and it gives me the same toppings as the philly cheesesteak, except I don't have to worry about being overwhelmed with everything that's inside of the hoagie and trying to keep everything pieced together. The hooker fries IS the hollywood hooker, just with fries instead of a hoagie. It's pretty much loaded fries, but it has to be some of the best loaded fries I've had. 11/10

I do miss the big dawg though. I love bratwurst, so SV's spin on this was amazing. Add this back to the menu and I'd be back probably two to three times a week continuously.“

“Had a great meal: I had the three-hander and my friend and I split an order of half fries half onion petals. This was the way to go as both the fries and onion petals are great. The burger was also excellent. It does go to a bit loud in there, the acoustics seem a bit off, but other than that we really enjoyed the atmosphere. The bar tender that we had was super friendly and also great with suggestions from the menu. We will definitely visit again.“

“new go-to fast food when in the area“

“I picked up my take out order. I told the staff I needed the strawberry shake. I was told a couple minutes later it was in the bag. I checked and I could see the top of the cup so I left. Got home and it was vanilla. My husband ordered the hot ones burger and there was a quarter size of sauce in the middle of the top bun. His burger was basically dry. My bacon burger was cooked too long, part of it was not edible because it was hard as a rock. This was my first time coming here and I don't plan on returning.“

“Ate here for the first time today. It was very fresh and delicious! Restaurant was very clean also. We will be back to try the delicious custard.“

“The T-Bone Steaks were on point!!! Everyone was very kind and welcoming!! Will visit again when we come back to the area!!! 5+ stars!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Hero Doughnuts is a cool spot right across from Railroad Park. I stopped in yesterday for a few doughnuts and they were absolutely delicious—the blueberry doughnut was one of the best I’ve ever had.

The service was a little slow, but the taste more than made up for it. I grabbed a couple and took them across the street to enjoy in the park—perfect balance of sweets and relaxation. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area!“

“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!“

“The burger was delicious. Incredibly good. However, it took 50 minutes to get it. Once we got it, the fries were lukewarm, as if they'd been sitting there. Hubby was told they tend to get slammed on Monday's due to lack of staff. And Homewood schools were having a jazz concert. So try on a day other than Monday. And maybe specify fresh fries. But, do try it. Patty's are handmade. Fresh beef. Nice large burger. Prices a little steep. Cheeseburger was $10,99 and basket of fries $4.50. I did not get the sauce that comes on the burger. I def recommend. And the venue is hard. There is an app to pre-order was not available on Monday night.“

“I've been driving past this place for months and thought I needed to try it. Today was the day, Chili Cheese dogs for me and Slaw dogs for a co-worker. Fries and Tots too, both of out meals were good, friendly people behind the counter too. Looks like they have a good variety of other standards for this type of small restaurant. I/we'll be back soon. Thanks Guys.“

“This place is probably one of the few places you will get a good burger in trussville. The night shift is the A team. They might not look like the happiest bunch of folk, but they really are the low key A team. My man with the dreads kills it on the grill. He asked what did i want, I told him just make it good, and he didn't disappoint.“

“I enjoyed my burger there both times I visited. A hot, double patty with fresh, chilled fixings. Good tea as well. It's right around the corner from the North Pavillion of UAB.

I'd recommend ya stop in if you're around there. Spent $14 for the meal, and it was worth it.“

“The food is excellent and the staff is very pleasant.“

“It's in the middle of the city basically and, they do give military discounts so I got 15% off military discount babe I mean the food's not to die for but the food is good, it's better than you can make it home, but it's expensive. And I mean I believe that it's more expensive than your average restaurant, I mean it's not McDonald's either so, you get better food for the same price then you would at McDonald's but it's still $20 to go in there and eat and so I just think that that's getting too expensive I guess it's comparable to anywhere else, but it's still ridiculous“

“new go-to fast food when in the area“

“Mariah went above and beyond to care of my wife and I. We were looking for a late night spot and found EXACTLY what we were looking for. The food was good and the beer was cold. She and Martrell made us feel right at home. (btw, they have impressive private parts!!)“

“First time to try this place. I can't believe the wide array of food they serve. It comes to you hot, fresh and delicious!!! I had gotten a Groupon that I'm very thankful for!!! We spent less money here than we would at Taco Bell or McDonald's! If I lived over by it, I would literally eat here every day!!! I got fried catfish, the Cajun ranch fries and a small chicken salad. Good Lord I've NEVER had a salad THAT good before!!! And I'm 54 yo!! It has a ton of stuff in it!!! My husband got the same Cajun fried and a gyro that was amazing as well!!! I completely forgot to take pictures. But trust me, it's worth it! I can't believe they weren't more busy at 5 pm on a Saturday. We were the only ones dining in. But a few people came in for to go orders.“

“Not a huge fan of Milos. That being said the employees were nice and polite, cutting up and having a good time at work. They brought that to the atmosphere of the restaurant, definitely a plus.

Having employees that enjoy their work and work together well while taking care of the customer is a huge deal nowadays.

As far as the food goes it was Milo's, if you like it you do if you don't you don't.“

“I saw a review on here about someone had the special BBQ Brisket Steakburger and decided I would try it but never got to do it until today and was surprised they still had it going on. LOVED IT!! The BBQ sauce is sweet yet tangy but not overpowering like many BBQ places. The brisket on top of the double steakburgers were plenty and each strip was really meaty and not loaded with a lot of fat like other BBQ places. The pickles and sweet onions on top were a kicker also as they really added to the flavor with every bite. I am glad I had a big hungry appetite though because that burger was more than enough for a meal especially the healthy helping of shoe string fries!! Well done also to the staff for the prompt service from the moment I walked in with a welcome to Freddy's and the friendly smile of the cashier and the thank you from the cook when I picked up my order at the service counter!! Impressive for a fast food operation, but I will admit that having good employees to pass on the right attitude when working is important and this crew made the grade on that and more!! Thank you everyone!!“

“We visited this restaurant for the first time. Service was professional and the food was great. Looking forward to stopping by there again in the near future.“
