Restaurants near Pleasant Grove

“This place is a hidden gem in Pleasant Grove. 15-20 minutes from Birmingham and with the drive. The owner is so friendly and welcoming. The food is very fresh and delicious, you can tell there's a lot of love put into it. There are American choices for the less adventurous eaters and children's menu, also vegetarian options! My personal favorites are the falafel plate, Greek salad, tahini sauce, hummus and baklava. All homemade! Go try it, you won't be disappointed!”

“Everything here is amazing. I'm a child so I'm picky sometimes but I tried 6 new foods today and the results were awesome. The workers are so friendly and have a board of photos of customers who came to their last building, my family and I are on it because my family has been going even before I was born. It's just that good. We always get the buffet and the food is always fresh. YUMMYYYYY”

“I hate I didn’t take a picture… but I got a cheeseburger combo with Cajun ranch fries… the burger was seasoned so good and had that “straight from my house” taste and the Cajun fries didn’t make it past the parking lot!!! Everything was good and I will definitely be back!!!”

“M.p is great! Everytime I come in she is doing her best and it truly shows. Even when there’s a line of people out the door she is making and doing everything as quickly and diligently as possible with a smile on her face. She is the reason I continue to come back. Prices have gone up way too much and they don’t honor coupons majority of the time at this location and the atmosphere is just so so; but mp keeps us coming back with her amazing customer service!”

“Just visited Jack's in pleasant Grove, Al. The young manager was outstanding. I'm 60years old and retired Navy and I've never seen a fast food manager praise their employees on the spot! I didn't get her name, but a short black young lady with a piercing in top lip. She should be in a front office somewhere, her attitude is infectious! I love the positive vibes!”

“Went here after a cheer competition! We had a large party and were set quickly! Our waitress had multiple large parties and was absolutely fabulous! Food was amazing! The kids enjoyed the outside area while waiting on food! Very accommodating to allergies and picky eaters! Highly recommend! Only con is that they don’t have one in Murfreesboro, TN!!”

“Vecchia’s overall is amazing! Delicious food, a variety of beverages, great atmosphere and most of all a superb staff! In addition, they offer throughout the week live music entertainment, 1/2 off wine on Wednesday, kid’s eat free on Tuesdays, Cooking classes, and bouncy house for kiddos on the weekends. Highly recommend!!!”

“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!”

Sunday I took my Mother and Sisters here for Dinner after Church, and they were very Impressed. The Food was Delicious “As always”and the Service was Impeccable. Whenever I’m asked of friends and Family Or Co- workers of a Good Place to enjoy a meal RED SEA is the Place I will always Highly Recommend. Chef “B” and Staff are Awesome!!!”

“there cleanliness great employees there food is the best.”

“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.”

“Why are they closed? I drove to the bldg to see what is going on with them and there is paper all over the window like they are closed for good. I hope they reopen in a cleaner more modern bldg in Bessemer. Posted 4.27.2025

----------
Food is very reasonably priced for the amount of food you receive
Candy yams- pretty and delicious when fully cooked (sometimes they are undercooked)
Dumplings- the sauce and chicken are good, the dumplings taste doey sometimes
Rice- good
Lemon cake- delicious...have this flavor more often please
Cornbread-; good
Greens- good

I recommend when you have a taste for being at home come to this place.

P. S. On Sunday, they sometimes have a LIVE person singing.”

“My husband and I ate breakfast here while in Birmingham. The waiter was very hospitable and checked on us. The food was great!! It was busy but we didn't wait a long time for our food. The drive thru was busy so that was an indication the food was goodt!! This was the first time I saw a drive thru breakfast place.”

“This place was everything. The food was delicious and the service exceeded my expectation. V, the hostess provided exceptional customer service. I will definitely make this place a #1 choice for good food, drinks, and hospitality.”

“Everything was delicious! Fresh, quality ingredients, cooked perfectly! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Amazing Food, 1000/10! Always hot and fresh. Great customer service.”

“Great food and place but turn off Fox News
Server said they couldn’t turn it off or mute it
At least mute it. Don’t want to have to listen to that while I eat.”
