“I had such a great experience at Crumbl! The cookies were fresh, soft, and tasted amazing. The staff was super friendly and the service was quick. I also love how they have different flavors to choose from every week. Definitely one of my favorite places to get a sweet treat, and I’ll definitely be coming back! 🍪💕“

“Such a great place! Got some wonderful snacks and a blueberry muffin that was divine!! very friendly gal helped me out and told me all about the other things that they have in their refrigerators freezers and are able to serve and cater for people! highly reccommend!“

“Visited my favorite ice cream shop today. If you need a little pick-me-up or a dose of pure joy, I highly recommend visiting Unless U Scoops any weekday between 1:00 p.m. 5:00 p.m. And the ice cream is pretty awesome also!“

“I have celiac disease and lactose intolerance and seriously cannot recommend this place enough. The staff is very knowledgeable about cross contact. They even have a separate oven for gluten free pizzas! Every pizza on the menu could be made gluten/dairy free. Thank you for such a wonderful experience. I will be coming here regularly!“

“A true Bham staple with a diverse menu and awesome market.“

“Ordered thru the app but next time may just use third-party services. Everything arrived fresh and as expected I ordered the ceasar summer wrap with ceasar dressing and mexican ceasar dressing on the side. I will say although I was good it needed a bit more dressing mixed in. Next time I'll order heavy dressing instead of regular.“

“Definitely a 5 star place! Love, love, LOVE their food options!! Perfect for everyone in your family. We just them often do a pick up or curbside order & get the family meal plans when we need something on the go. Healthy, but comforting food too! DELICIOUS! 😋 The Manager is very helpful & knowledgeable too! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Love this place! The food is always fresh and the staff is great. I’ll keep coming back!“

“If the ratings went higher than 5 stars I would rank it higher. Birmingham is a city filled with great BBQ restaurants. If it isn't good BBQ, it won't last. My wife and I ate at Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint for the first time today, and we have found our new favorite BBQ joint. We enjoy watching Pat Martin's tv show, "Life of Fire," so we came with very high expectations. They surpassed them. When we stepped out of the car the smoke BBQ smell was amazing. I ordered a pulled pork shoulder sandwich and asked them to top it with coleslaw and had a side of mac & cheese and bought a second side, cornbread hoecake. Martha ordered the sliced brisket sandwich with a side of baked beans. I started with the mac & cheese. It was delicious with plenty of cheese and baked to perfection with a crispy cheese top. Really delicious. The cornbread hoecake was incredible it looks like and has the consistency of a pancake. You must order that when you go. Then I picked up the pulled pork shoulder sandwich and sunk my teeth in it. Oh, my! Pulled pork at its best. I added the Jack's Creek vinegar-based sauce to it, and wow, that added even more outstanding flavor to it. I've found my new favorite BBQ sauce. Martha thoroughly enjoyed her sliced brisket sandwich. We both had a bite of each others sandwiches and both were mouth-satisfying delicious. The brisket was perfect. The baked beans were very tasty, too. Everything was about as perfect as you can get at a BBQ joint. Pat Martin knows his BBQ, just as he displays on his show "Life of Fire." Before I could say anything, Martha said, "This is the best BBQ I've ever had. Let's come back for lunch tomorrow." She didn't have to twist my arm. We still like many other delicious BBQ restaurants in Birmingham, and will eat at them again, but Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint is our new favorite. In a city where BBQ is king, Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint sits atop the throne.“

“I came for the first time yesterday to celebrate my partner and I’s anniversary. Wow. I saw great reviews everywhere and somehow yall still out performed them. We were helped by Savannah who was in training and she was marvelous. She was so sweet, checked on us often & was so knowledgeable of what was offered. Also the individual she was training under was able to help with the accommodations we needed due to an allergy. The bottomless tapas were amazing and the mimosas were flowing. Though we had the two servers, everyone really worked together to make sure our experience was amazing. Thank yall so much!“

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!!!“

“We loved the food! Had the sweetest waitress. She was funny and had a constant smile on her face. She was older than the rest of the staff but she was the best hands-down“

“Food was good, but everything was cold. Really like the place the staff is excellent. Wish they would concentrate on making sure that the food arrives hot.“

“This is one of the hidden gems in town! Always fantastic food and I eat here at least twice a week. The service is outstanding and always friendly. Sue the hostess that works the door is amazing. She remembered my name by the second visit and always greets me with a smile?. The entire staff is unbelievable and you feel like you are eating lunch with best friends. Highly recommend!!!“

“Great customer service, and the ice cream is fantastic. I definitely would recommend!“

“Absolutely phenomenal. Very good food. Friendly staff. Highly recommend“

“Their lattes taste a step above most coffee shops. You can tell they value quality over quantity with their espresso and how they make their seasonal syrups. They have very unique seasonal drinks as well. Also their empanadas are pretty dang good. Ill be back for sure.“

“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“

“We have always enjoyed Baha Burger. Due to medical issues, it’s been some time since we last ate there. The owner was always so courteous to us and eager for us try new things. He introduced me to the delicious remoulade that is a must for all things I order. However, our most recent experience made us feel differently. I know people have off days. We are all entitled to them….BUT…while we were eating, we overheard the owner yelling at the cook (he was standing directly behind us) about how many tater tots he put on my sons plate. He said it was too much for a child portion and went on and on about it. There were nine tater tots on his plate and he ate them all. My son overheard him yelling at the cook and asked me if he should give some of them back. That hurt my heart that my five year old felt guilty eating a meal that was set in front of him. I’m sure we will still give them our business because the food is amazing. I just hope the owner understands that sometimes things should be handled differently. Nine tater tots was not a true reason to have gotten so upset. Now if it had been ten….😜“

“Plenty of seating, safe parking, booze, games, fun, music, and pictures of Moms! Rad atmosphere for both young and old. I had a great time performing there last night. Thanks for having me!“

“Nice people and customer service was good too.“

“Johin’na is a dazzling new gem in Birmingham’s vibrant culinary scene! From the moment you step through the door, you’re immersed in an atmosphere that promises a truly unique and unforgettable experience. The decor is a breathtaking fusion of creativity and elegance, unlike anything else in the city—every detail is thoughtfully curated to spark wonder and delight. The staff’s warmth and hospitality take the evening to extraordinary heights. We were incredibly fortunate to have founder Chef Amber step out of the kitchen to serve as our guide for the night. Her deep knowledge of the menu and infectious passion for the dishes made our choices effortless and exhilarating. Her expertly recommended pairings perfectly complemented our tastes, transforming each course into a culinary adventure. Adding to the magic, we had the privilege of chatting with founders Executive Chef Ashley and Shun Love, whose vision and warmth made us feel like family. We’ve never felt more welcomed in a restaurant! Beyond their culinary genius and gracious hospitality, the sisters and their mother are absolutely stunning, radiating charm and grace that elevate the entire experience. Every dish we savored was a masterpiece, bursting with bold, innovative flavors that showcase the creative spirit of Johin’na’s kitchen. The meticulous attention to detail in both presentation and taste was impeccable, leaving us eager to return and explore more of the menu. Johin’na isn’t just a meal—it’s a soulful experience that lingers long after the last bite. Birmingham is beyond lucky to have this treasure, and I can’t recommend it highly enough!“

“Great place to have an event! Kristin and her staff are awesome! Highly recommend“

“Amazing restaurant! Food was unbelievable and the staff were top-notch. I highly recommend the Prime Rib. Probably the best cut I have had in Birmingham. The filet mignon was also excellent. If you like lobster bisque—definitely some of the best!“

“Some of the very best Mexican food we have in our city! We eat here once a week and absolutely love it! (This and El Barrio) The guacamole and the cheese dip are so yummy and the steak tacos are phenomenal! Staff is friendly and the atmosphere is so enjoyable. Great patio seating too.“

“Like their food/atmosphere but dang in the last 2-3 weeks their pizzas got smaller! They used be like 16" now they're like 10" and same price and no explanation!!! Disappointed.“

“Friendly taproom with a welcoming vibe, dog-friendly atmosphere, and a wide selection of well-crafted beers. Favorite spot before a a Baron’s game.“

“Great pizza and salad, friendly service!!“

“5 stars all the way around!! From the host, to the server, to the hibachi chef, and the sushi chefs, everything was amazing! We will definitely be back!“

“I wish I had taken pictures of the food, but we ate it too fast! After crawling out of a concert, sweaty and dizzy, the waft of burger steam coming out of the food truck was like an angels chorus. My husband and I each got the Bear Burger, and I wish we had ordered more to take home for later. Fresh, melt in your mouth, insanely delicious, and ready in five minutes even so late at night. I think this burger is worth the hour and a half drive from our city, even without a concert.“

“I just want to shine light on this business you are doing an awesome job. Keep up the good work you are extremely blessed. Excellent service wonderful work respectful reasonable. I’ll give this business 10 stars if I can. May god continue to grant you much success.“

“Hands down, some of the best treats I’ve ever had. The cookie cake actually was the best cookie cake I’ve ever tasted. I would recommend Hayley to anyone!!“

“Absolutely divine food. Very glad we choose to try you. We got take away“

“Wow, wow, wow. When I asked the waiter, how long the restaurant had been there, I was almost mad at myself when he told me it has been in Birmingham eight years. Why didn’t I find this place sooner? I went with my sister and my brother-in-law for dinner, we felt like we were eating in the French quarter. It’s the best Cajun food I’ve had north of New Orleans. You must try the shrimp, poor boy, better yet get the surf and turf because the roast beef will blow your mind. My sister and I also had the gumbo, the hush puppies are Devine, succotash was really good, and oh my wonderful tastebuds, the muffaletta was something like you would have on Bourbon Street. If you like Cajun food, this place has great food and a fun environment with lots of outdoor seating. Dog friendly to boot! I highly recommend that you try this at least once if you live in Birmingham or are visiting.“

“Super clean establishment! Fast friendly service and love the specials! 😍 Always something new here to catch my eye.“

“Great Burgers, Great Vibe and Great Service. 5 Stars all the way!“

“We had tasty burritos. Mine was a fine mushroom and pork one. The atmosphere is quite good. And the wait staff is friendly. Will be going back for more. Recommended for certain.“

“I absolutely love this restaurant! It’s my favorite one in town. Always an incredible dining experience from start to finish, amazing food, and incredible service. You will not be disappointed!“
