“Thank you, thank you to Chick Fil A Greystone. We ordered food from here for our end of year football party. due to weather (cold and rainy) we changed our party location last minute from Heardmont Playground to Chick Fil A. Isaac accommodated us quickly, reserving tables for us, and making everything easy and fun for parents and kids. Isaac and his team were welcoming from Start to finish A thousand thank yous, from the Red Team (Oak Mountain Youth Football)“

“Typical Chic Fil A, The food is top tier but this location needs some serious updates, lots of disrepair in the dining area. The staff was on par but not the best we’ve ever had.

Parking: Tight parking lot that’s not the easiest to get to from the main roads.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly, they have a play place at this location.

Wheelchair accessibility: ADA Compliant“

“I grabbed some breakfast from the drive thru on my way back to Gadsden. I ordered a chicken biscuit add egg and cheese along with an order of hasbrowns and a large coke. Everything I ordered was made to perfection and I did not have to wait very long in line of the drive thru to get my order. The staff I encountered was polite and friendly.“

“Milo’s Hamburgers is a Birmingham staple that represents classic Alabama fast food at its best. It’s not flashy or complicated—just consistent, comforting, and unmistakably local. The burgers are thin, juicy, and drenched in Milo’s signature sweet-and-tangy sauce, a flavor that instantly sets it apart from national chains. It’s messy, nostalgic, and exactly what longtime fans expect.

The crinkle-cut fries are crispy and salty, making them the perfect side, and Milo’s sweet tea is almost as famous as the burgers themselves—strong, sweet, and refreshing. The menu stays simple, which keeps service fast and efficient, even during busy lunch hours. The casual, no-frills atmosphere makes it an easy stop whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or sitting down for a relaxed meal.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I like Five Guys’ foods and service very much. I was so disappointed in the service today, though, that I feel compelled to write this in hope that the manager at the Fultondale location will see it. I went in to place an order, but noticed one employee was cooking food and there was no one at the register. As I walked to the register, I passed two employees seated at one table and another employee seated at a separate table. I stood at the register waiting, but no employee approached. The cook, who was quite busy, saw me and called to someone, but still no one came. One employee at a table rose and walked to the back of the room, so I thought she had gone back to go behind the counter, but she came back to her table having just gone to refill her cup. We made eye contact, so she knew I was waiting. But neither she nor the other two employees made any attempt to assist me. After another six minutes, with no acknowledgment at all from the three seated employees,I left. I won’t give up on Five Guys after one bad experience, but I hope the manager will see this write-up and use it as a teaching moment for today’s staff.“

“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.“

“I love it because a very nice team and a very excellent service do a wonderful job and make me feel like family“

“Great experience at very busy time for them. They worked well together and served as many people as they could as fast as they could... And the food was hot and very good!“

“Puts my local Milo's to shame Hot food almost every time - very rare in fast food these days Much friendlier staff than most locations I've been to“

“I can’t stop thinking about that chicken. Went to Bham for work and walked there twice to get it. Now I’m Finna fly back to Alabama just to have it again!“

“Looking for an old school hamburger joint? This is it! Forget all the bells and whistles of a lot of other places. Joyland delivers on a great smash burger. I was able to taste every thing the burger offered. The pickles, onions, patties, cheese and amazing bacon. All of it without getting lost in an oversized bun.“

“My husband and I ate 2 hamburgers and shared a fry. Food was delicious. I love the Milo's sauce. The hamburger buns are always toasted so nice. The fries have the cheese flavor and are so good dipped in Milo's sauce. The workers were so kind and friendly. It had a great atmosphere too. The other customers were happy and just generally nice people.“

“Green Acres is practically an institution at this point and for good reason. The food is amazing, the service is friendly (its not always quick, but the lines are crazy for a reason), and did i mention the food is amazing?
If you're ever in the birmingham metro, Green Acres is as necessary a stop as the Statue of Liberty or the Golden Gate Bridge. If you think I'm exaggerating, you just haven't had the food yet.“

“Awesome people and food. just hate it's going to be 6 months for rebuild. I appreciate the friendships I have made there. Hopefully all will remain with company. Wesley is the best. I will take good care of the cow.“

“DELISH. The chicken is amazing… but the frosted lemonade?… 🤤“

“Stopped by for a quick lunch in the car. The young man taking my order rushed me a bit but I’m sure that it was to help the drive thru move along smoothly.

At the window I received a smile and great service from Tremayah. She confirmed my drink before handing it to me. I watched her recount my change before handing it to me to ensure accuracy, and asked me if I needed anything else.

My bag not only contained hot, fresh food but also the sauce I asked for (two of them!), napkins AND a straw. That’s all I ask for or expect with fast food. Tremayah was just an added bonus with her pleasant demeanor and work ethic“

“This is hands-down the best drive-through pick up pizza in town. Never greasy & friendly engaged staff. I have tried other stuffed crust pizzas and at least the one at this particular Pizza Hut is truly the best ever. Only downside as it doesn’t come in a smaller size!“

“My family and I came to this area just a couple of hours ago and the cashier name Angelo was very friendly and professional to me and my family and wasn't rushing me to order and she has a beautiful smile Angelo was very specific and suggested other items for my order and the last thing she asked was that I need any dipping sauce for my order and that really lighten my day that she was very concerned about me and my family to get everything we need and that's great customer service and me and my family will be back very soon and also the food was great and the tea was amazing Angelo did a very great job she does need a raise with that wonderful caring customer services that's an A+ great job Angelo..smile on our faces“

“Great food and clean restaurant!“

“The burgers and fries were great. Cheese curds were pretty tasty. Took a little longer than I like to get them served up. The nice lady that took my order was cool. Everyone watch your step if you are dining in. The floor seems greasy or slick. Someone might fall!“

“It's perfect weather for a bowl of chicken noodle soup from my favorite Chick-fil-A at Patton Creek. If you haven't tried the chicken noodle soup, you definitely should. It's always hot, tasty, and well seasoned, with plenty of shredded chicken and egg noodles, and lots of carrots and celery. Be sure and get a few extra Westminster Company Saltines. These crackers are very different from the well-known name brand crackers I had as a kid. They are a bit thicker and a little more crisp than those, which works well for dunking in the hot soup. Chicken noodle soup, Westminster Company Saltines, and a medium coke is one of my favorite meals always made better by the Chick's friendly 5-star staff: Leigh, Zoe, Ashley, Laura, Will, Eric, and Chris.“

“Love Dairy Queen in trussville !!! Always the best customer service. The management and team is great, and they strive to help out the community as well !!! Recommend coming here 5 out of 5 stars !!�“

“Let me first say.
It was late night after a concert, but neither me or my cousin received the food that we ordered. It was Fresh and it was OK not seasoned well at all. The drinks were great. I just wish we would have gotten the food that we ordered that was disappointing but the customer service was great“

“The food was good but costs way to much,i would eat it more often if it didn't cost so much“

“We absolutely love this place, best wings in Fairhope!!!“

“My partner and I go camping at least once a season, and it’s become a soft tradition to pop by Whataburger for lunch on the way out.

We usually order/split the Western BBQ burger with an extra patty and sauce, cut and packaged in half, large fry and soda pop combo for around $12, and lemme tell ya, it’s SO satisfying!

Our food order is always right, hot, and served in a few moments (apx 3-5 mins ticket time) and they give you extra condiments guilt-free.

The registrars and even the people working in the back are courteous and helpful, and they keep a clean lobby.

I can’t wait for the next time we go camping, partly because we get to eat at Whataburger again!

Whatabusiness!“

“Best lunch in Birmingham.“

“Nakayla was amazing. Very polite, super efficient, she made sure all of my extra request were met and made sure to repeat each one back. I visited close to closing time and she did not make me feel like a nuisance like most places would at that time.“

“8/27/2019 come join us at the new Forestdale Arbys“

“Wings and okra are delicious Just need to clean their front door it’s covered in dirt and gunk It’s filthy If customers can see that I wonder what is in the kitchen..bathroom you can smell it entering the door and today I saw a huge roach crawling around inside. I probably won’t be eating here again.“

“Food was good, service was great and I must say they work hard here“

“Always check your order at this location. I live close by and stop here often. In my last 4 orders, 2 of them were wrong, they typically leave items out of the order. Happens mostly in the mornings. They do offer to make it right but both times I had already left the restaurant.“

“Great food 🥰🥰Great customer service 💯“

“This is a good location. The employees were friendly and attentive. They were also happy and having a good time, which always improves any atmosphere. The hamburger my daughter was craving was delicious, the fries were on point and the caramel sundae was extra yummy and real caramel. We'll be going again and again!“

“Good food. Put my order in the app while in the parking lot at the Crestwood/Irondale location..but my order was for Gadsden Hwy location! Had to drive to the Trussville location and they even remade my shake for me since it took me over 30 minutes through rush hour traffic to get there... Thank you, guys for awesome service!“

“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.“

“A hidden gem with delicious food. I had the cajun ranch fries and the catfish combo. It was fantastic. Smaller location, but spectacular food. There was a huge variety of things to eat, I had a hankering for catfish when I found this place. Crispy on the outside with a crumb batter and soft and juicy on the inside it was spot on. The fries where also cooked perfectly for the ranch coating and not getting soggy. Since I had both, I got to enjoy nice crispy fries with my combo and the coated fries. It would be hard to say which one was better. They were awesome as well. Great job. They were busy, so I was curious how it would turn out. Perfectly was the answer I found.“

“It's McDonald's so don't expect anything more than a McDonald's. It's a quick and easy way to get rid of hunger with a lot of things to pick from the easy to read picture menu and reasonably priced, otherwise, the same thing at home would be 30 to 45 minutes to prepare for myself and eat a similar meal, depending on the meal. The food is not a good thing to eat regularly, but I don't think I could even if I wanted to daily eat McDonald's (aka DIY diabetes), but I'm trying to find a good way to eat healthier and save all the potential money spent and keep it a reasonable price so it's a compromise. It's fastfood🤷in America and it's not going anywhere! Employees are typically busy but they are often nice and it's a stressful job. Poor attitude and overreacting is often seen coming from a customer not workers, from my personal experience with McDonald's, and I have few stories from my own experiences. I have a lot of respect for the employees in the food industry because it's tough work. Overall, I never have had a bad experience with any McDonald's beyond a missed burger or fry, and I have enjoyed this one so I don't think I can ask for more than that. I'm not a fan of the app being pushed or the lobby computer used to place the order by the customer. That's why they hire people and it's redundant at best, not to mention it's a lot more work than necessary, many people aren't able to figure out how to use it, or want to waste 30 minutes learning to use it. Clean place btw, but all the main issues are not the staff's fault. I have to recommend this one if you enjoy McDonald's. The food is ready to eat with the same quality as I want from all the chains, fair prices, and expected times are met when I place my order and leave with it. No worries to use the restroom and worry if it's a horror story. My biggest concern is in 10 years we're going to have ai bots running the whole operation so enjoy it while you can see humans at work instead of robots, oh well, 😆🤷 not today at least? Enjoy!! Thanks for reading! *And bring back the big 2 story play place! &Ball pit!“

“We had a small miscommunication while ordering, The good.
Workers in here We're able to slow down and explain to us.And help make our meal extremely satisfactory.. Everyone here is extremely proper.I would suggest this chick fil a over any other one“

“Went to the drive thru in Qxford, ordered two turkey gyros. Got home my husband had some hair in his first bite. I lost my appetite, gave him the other sandwich. It was hairless.“

“Chick-fil-A is less a restaurant and more a magical temple where chicken reigns supreme and your life’s problems temporarily vanish. You walk in, and immediately a choir of polite angels in visors says, “My pleasure,” so many times that I start questioning if I’ve entered a parallel universe where politeness is currency.“

“Great service and restaurant. The new layout of the parking lot is a bit weird, and the employees do their best and are all very polite, but you run the risk of becoming trapped in the drive thru if theres any kind of hold up ahead of you, bc theres no way to exit the lanes after you get into them due to the new parking lot layout.Recommend ordering on the app and picking up in store or getting curbside to avoid the drive thru, esp if you have anxiety or any agoraphobic tendencies related to driving“

“I’m sure this doesn’t happen often so I just wanted to give you guys a great review for having James as a part of your team. I went to your store on 7/31/20 and this man went above and beyond to help me. He was kind, courteous, and willing to make everyone feel welcomed. He is very well spoken and super polite. Keep up the good work James you deserve all the blessings you have coming to you. Thank you sir!“
