“Finally found as close to a Chicago dog as it gets in Bham. Wonderful flavor, all beef hotdog with pickles, tomato, sport peppers and mustard. The only thing it might have been missing is celery salt but I didn't miss it. The French fries were good, but the sweet potato waffle fries were amazing. Wife had a hamburger and it was excellent. They have local beers as well as other beverages. Will definitely be back.“

“The burgers used to be way bigger I don’t know what’s going on wit that but the food is really good just the price of $10 for a almost normal sized burger is crazy I wish they went back like the old days when a bear burger really used to be a BEAR burger“

“First and foremost let me say this wad the first time I have visited Hamburger Heaven and I knew nothing about the place except it was close to another place I was meeting some friends and I needed to grab a bite to eat. So my expectations were nonexistent going into the place.
The atmosphere was what one would expect from burger place where you were grabbing a quick meal to hold you over to dinner.
The dinning room was a serious no frill kind of place. Nothing wrong with that, it's just not the kind of place you would take a date to impress.
Now with THAT being said, I was extremely impressed with their food. The burger I had tasted very fresh and made exactly as I ordered. The bun was not soggy and none of the condiments were overwhelming but I got a great balance of flavors with each bite.
The fries were the old style crinkle cut and you could actually taste them. They were NOT the blan fries that most of the big chain places try to pass off on everyone claiming to be fries. Definitely NOT the golden arches!
As for the service. I give 5 Stars even though they couldn't accept credit cards at the time. Luckily I happened to have cash so it wasn't an issue but I don't normally carry more than a couple dollars on me.
The people working there were friendly and the dinning room was cool and the floor was clean. I didn't see any dirty tables and the trash can that I used was completely empty.
I am curious now if the other Hamburger Heaven in Birmingham are run as well as this one.
If you are ever in the area and feel like having a great burger and/or fries... this is your place.
Parking: The parking lot looks freshly sealed and fresh stripes so it's easy to see were and how to park.
The lot was easy to get in and out of too.
Wheelchair accessibility: It looked pretty easy to get in and out of. There was not automatic doors.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I have been three times and love this restaurant. They have good, unique food at a great price point, all packaged in some really fun and playful branding.
But don't take my word for it. Go try it yourself!
Kid-friendliness: Some great kid options and one of the TVs is usually playing something for kids“

“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.“

“Fresh, healthy, and served in a wonderfully clean atmosphere, it’s my go-to spot in town. I love knowing that every visit guarantees fresh, homemade food that’s both delicious and healthy. The service is always friendly and quick, with a keen attention to detail that sets Marky’s apart. Highly recommend the smash burgers, chicken rollup & spinach quesadilla and can’t leave without chicken salad & pimento cheese from the togo cooler which I snack on all week!“

“We wanted a unique and local place. A hole in the wall if you will. The store front said this is it. When you walk in it doesn't look like a sit down restaurant, and there aren't many seats. Ms Dawson greets you from behind a wall and comes around to take your order. Plan to be patient as she cooks it fresh and is a solo operator. The burger was well worth the wait. Definitely give it a shot for lunch.. just don't be in a hurry.“

“Only giving 5 stars for the service!!
The burger was… ok. I wouldn’t get it again though. The fries had flavor but I didn’t like the quality of them! Maybe you guys could try cutting up and using potatoes for the fries… they just easily break and I didn’t like that.
Also the lemonade was good. I could taste the agave if that’s what was used to sweeten it. And the sweet potato pie was good as well.“

“Came on a Saturday with my boyfriend and the place was dead, which is shocking because this place is AMAZING!! Everything from the service to the food was A1. We started with the lemon pepper wet wings, which were really good but the sauce was a little too thick for my liking. For drinks, I ordered the Seascape and my boyfriend ordered the Magnolia’s Point, both of which were delecious. For our entrees, he ordered the shrimp and grits and I ordered the fried oyster platter which came with 2 sides, so I got a loaded baked potato and the side salad which I made some tweaks to. Neither one of us had any complaints about our food! If you’re looking for a lowkey spot for lunch/dinner with a great atmosphere, great service, and great food/drinks, this is definitely the place! Shoutout to our amazing waitress Irina for everything!!“

“Located in the Edge. Walk Up burger spot. Pretty good burger spot! The food was fresh and hot. The french fries were seasoned and hot! The kiddos enjoyed the burgers. I wish the kids menu had a kids burger on it. Scenery is pretty cool. Located on between Cookie Plug and Shin Ramen.
Parking: Park in the front of a coffee/pop place and walk thru to the Burger spot“

“Let me start off by saying that these have got to be the messiest burgers on the planet. But.... they are well worth every napkin that you will use. I got the biggest burger that they offer, and let me tell you, I can eat, but I could barely find the room to eat half of it. It was so good. I highly recommend Hamburger Heaven. They are an icon in the Gardendale area. Oh, and their shakes are really good also.“

“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.“

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

“I always stop at this location for breakfast on my way downtown for work. The service here is is fast and they are friendly. They actually ask you how many cream and sugars you want in your coffee. The biscuits are soft and fresh. The pleasant staff is what I appreciate the most.“
