New American Restaurants near Vestavia Hills, AL

“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!“

“Great food and really awesome atmosphere!“

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

“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.“

“melina was very kind & welcoming, the service from her was great. i’m looking forward to eating here again“

“Nikole was our server and she was amazing. Very friendly and attentive. We ordered the Chicken Pesto Flatbread as an appetizer. It was so fresh and light. For my entree I had the filet mignon with lobster tail. It is a little pricey but worth it. I ordered my steak medium well and asked for it to be butterflied. This was a recommendation last visit from Kiki. Most places won't tell you that and your steak ends up being tough and dry. At Season 52 my filet was so tender and flavorful. Desserts come shooter style. My husband couldn't decide and ordered all of them. Our favorites were the oatmeal cookie cream pie, carrot cake and key lime pie. Next up would be turtle, pecan pie and s'mores. Lastly would be the peanut butter chocolate and raspberry chocolate chip cannoli.“

“Really loved my experience here. Expensive, but in my frugal mind, it’s worth it. Started with the pickled shrimp, which isn’t pickled but has an amazing flavor. I almost fell over I enjoyed it so much. Then we had the “seeded yeast rolls“ which was sweet like a doughnut, but great flavor. For entrées we had the Wagyu ribeye which was excellent and cooked perfectly. Also had the golf Coast prawns. Everything was excellent, and we sat outside and had a beautiful view. Bryan, our waiter was an excellent communicator and kept us posted as the meal progressed. He’s been doing it 30 years“

“We dined here last night and I must say I was very pleased. I ordered the fried green tomatoes as a starter. The dish was perfectly plated and the taste was spectacular! The sourdough bread brought to us prior to ordering was also very delicious.

I ordered the scallops for my main course and that too was very tasty and beautifully plated.

For dessert, the beignets, which was the best I have ever tasted. Better than Nalins:)

Our server (forgot his name) was perfectly on point. The atmosphere was warm and cozy.

We enjoyed our dining experience and look forward to returning when back in Birmingham.“

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

“All-time new favorite place! Can’t say enough great things—beautiful, dreamy atmosphere that feels like you drifted into a European country cottage with lush, greenery everywhere: friendly, attentive staff; refreshing cocktails; food was to die for, bold, rich flavors, especially the crab cakes and burger! 10/10“

“The Birria pizza here is one of the best pizzas I have ever had. I've had the opportunity of trying pizzas all over the world, and I was surprised a place by Birmingham would take a top spot. Gotta try the polenta fries while you're here. Great experience!“

“Amazing food and great service. 🙂“

“loved loved loved it. highly recommend“

“Walk up service that they serve at your table. So if you’re expecting full table service, not for you. Quick service with great food. Don’t forget to stop by bakery on your way out for cookies or bread. Only thing I would change is the chairs.“

“Fantastic meal and drinks!“

“Amazing !!! Never had a bad meal here !“

“Ok so my husband and I came here for brunch and without reservations. The amazing host let us know that we can sit at the bar and WOW. What’s going on?! Just the 2 most amazing bartenders Jacey and Devon with awesome service. Our drinks stayed full with the help of Rodger. And Aris the manager was so awesome. The menu is RAD and the portions are big. Definitely will be back.“

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

“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.“

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

“Nice restaurant. You will spend about $12-13 for a plate and drink. I got the braised pork plate with the hot cheddar pasta, bread, and broccoli salad. The pasta was really good and cheesy. The servers were very friendly. It's by the federal reserve. It's cool because the bathroom entrance was the old vault. Indoor and outdoor seating available. The wait time for the food wasn't long at all; they got our food out within minutes.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“Great breakfast buffet that was very expensive but convenient if you are staying in the hotel. Everything was fresh and they had someone at a station making omelets and would bring it to your table if you didn’t want to wait for them to prepare it. Overall the breakfast buffet was good.

The staff was very friendly. We even came here at the end of our day for desert and enjoyed the restaurant that had a modern look and was quiet and relaxing.“

“Great food and atmosphere!“

“Tired of the fast food catagory... this is your way out. The food was delicious. There was a selection of meats, vegetables, and deserts. Pricing was also reasonable for the servings. There is nothing like having a good glass of sweet tea to top it off.“

“Our waitress was great. We have the fried pimento balls. Which were great! They came with two dipping sauces. One was a hot sauce(not a fan), and the Other was a ranch that was tasty.
I had a Salmon wrap I didn't like the texture of the things going on in it. So I switched it for the Honey mustard wrap which was way better. Everything else was great. Favorite drink was the Honeysuckle.“

“I’m a trucker and I’ve been to this place 2 times. N this is some good eating.“

“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.“

“Enjoyed our meal! Nice change from our usual places.“

“I will post a picture later, the food is gone before I remember to pic it. ??The food reminds you of your grandmother's cooking. She has pork chop sandwiches, bacon, egg, and cheese biscuits and sandwiches, waffles, orange juice, coffee, and foundation sodas. The place is nice and airy. The extra large windows allow the natural light to brighten up the restaurant. A small to large crowd can be accommodated. Stop by one morning for a treat. I am a regular now and so is my son. ?“

“Great food and attention to detail. Went above and beyond to accommodate my daughter’s dietary needs. Highly recommend.“

“Best wings I’ve had in a long time! The owner was very hospitable and quick to allow me to try sauces, the lava is insanely good! Keep up the great work. -lifetime customer“

“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!“

“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“

“Great menu. Tasty food. Served hot!“

“Great Fried Green Tomatoes“

“Justin was amazing very kind and caring he needs a raise!!!! Please I have been to so many concerts and he is the best!!!!!“

“They were very busy for a Monday at lunch time and didn't seem to have enough servers. The hostess at the front door fussed at us for not having an RSVP, so we sat in the bar. (We didn't know we needed RSVP for lunch) the food was fantastic. I had the grilled meatloaf.“

“I love eating dinner at Perry’s. Love the food and the atmosphere, everything is always good and fresh.“

“Enjoyed our meal! Nice change from our usual places.“

“This is my favorite restaurant in the Birmingham area- Mr Jack’s crispy chicken is delicious!! They pay attention to details and it comes through in the food they serve. They have it down to perfection!!“

“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!!!!“

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

“We began with a couple of cocktails at the bar before our reservation. We had the privilege of being thoroughly entertained by a truly personal and excellent bartender. The food and wine for dinner was absolutely delicious! We also were honored to meet the Head Chef, who is a lover of food and people - and that shows from his first glance to the good ole southern handshake/hug upon saying good night. Thank you Harvest for a fantastic experience.“

“Food was good. Not exceptional but I'd eat it again. Prices are what you would expect from a "cajun food truck" high for the convenience. Several of us ordered together. I picked the shrimp and sausage cheese fries. It was good. Fries were little dry. But eaten with toppings were fine. I enjoyed it. A friend ordered the chicken Alfredo it was okay.
Another friend ordered the Bayou burger. It looked and smelled great but they said their fries were not good.
Okay for a food truck.“

“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.“
