“I come here like twice a week, super chill vibe, the employees are nice and even memorized my order once I became a regular(kale Caesar salad which is TOO good)😂 the ingredients are super fresh and I’ve never seen them run out of anything. Come here for some good salad and lighting (I do my homework here all the time)“

“Friendly service and great food! I was looking for a good restaurant for pizza and found it! We will definitely be back!“

“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!“

“Kay and her team at Iz did an AMAZING catering job at my wedding! Everyone complimented how good the food was and, most importantly, that the servers were so attentive! One guest commented that her glass never even reached half way before it was being refilled. That made me feel so glad I chose Iz. From the first time I spoke with Kay, I could tell she knew exactly what she was doing and knew all the right questions to ask. Kay and Iz Catering are true professionals and will elevate your special event. I will definitely use Iz again for any catering needs.“

“Wes and got out of the house today and grabbed lunch at Newks at the Vestavia location. Y’all, it was delicious! My mom has long been a fan and suggested I eat there. I’m sorry it took me so long. We did curbside service and got the black & blue salad and the five cheese pesto pizza. Of course we had to sample a side of their five cheese Mac and cheese. Everything was excellent!!!! Definitely grab and go/curbside at Newks. Let them take care of supper tonight.“

“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.“

“Great place with amazing food and people that work there are always so friendly“

“Awesome salad.“

“Great place with wonderful food. Highly recommend!“

“My only complaint about this location is that every time I go there they have the thermostat set to about 60°. It is unbearably cold and I always end up having to sit out on the patio.“

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

“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“

“I had a great first experience. Kayla was Awesome! I was about to let the third person go ahead of me because I didn't know how or what to order. Kayla encouraged me to go ahead and order that she would assist me. She was patient and guided me in creating a chef kiss bowl that was wonderful!! She gave me a "My pleasure" experience. I will definitely be back, thanks Kayla!“

“Best pizza in the Bham area!!! Friendly staff, excellent service. The salads are sensational as well. Highly recommend!“

“My favorite Ashley Mac’s meal is the pimento grilled cheese (topped with poppy’s pickles), broccoli slaw, and a slice of strawberry cake. It always hits the spot! I also love that I can order ahead online to avoid a longer wait time during busy hours.“

“Great spot for lunch! I love that it offers something unique compared to other downtown restaurants. The service is fast and friendly, and they’ve recently added some great new items to the menu. Portions are generous and you definitely won’t leave hungry.“

“Been waiting for an opportunity to eat here and it did NOT disappoint! Absolute amazing service, food was delicious, atmosphere was great! Server names Frank great! The hot honey pepperoni pizza was FANTASTIC, really wanted to finish it but was ready to burst! 10/10, absolutely amazing!“

“Absolutely fantastic! The food is so delicious. The service was good. The ambiance from the candles is delightful. It's possibly the best rustic pizza I have ever had (& that's saying a lot. I know food at 6 foot 250lbs.) The garlic bread is also fantastic. The photo shows the cheese version, but we had both, and either way, it is great!
We will definitely come here any time we are in town.

Parking: Outdoor covered seating available and indoor tables.

Kid-friendliness: People were there with kids.“

Hands down the best burger we have ever had . I had the baha burger and my wife had the baby burger both with onion rings . Please bring a baha to auburn AL , we definitely need a burger place like this and also best service also . Thank you for serving great burgers“

“I always play it safe with the grilled chicken I’m so glad Jose let me try the meatballs because OMG new fav! Would have never tried it otherwise cause I never tried lamb before. Love the sampling aspect! Good music in the store too!

“UAB location is awesome. I have visited this located several times and always clean, friendly, and food always good. I normally do online order and my order always ready when I arrive. I ate there with my mother once and it was nice and pleasant. We sat outside on the patio.“

“I’ve been eating at cava all over the birmingham are but the cava on 280 has become my favorite. I was welcomed in by the Cava employee by the name of Wade. Wade was the most friendliest person I’ve met in any Cava restaurant. He was very polite and helpful. I didn’t feel rushed and he made a great bowl, thanks I will always look for wade when I come into this restaurant because he didn’t make me feel rushed“

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

“What a great spot! The juices, smoothies, almond butter toast, poke bowl and chicken quesadilla were all delicious! My entire family (5 & 8 year old) both loved their meals, along with my husband and I. The staff was so accommodating and helpful, and just went the extra mile to make sure my one daughter was happy. Thank you! Highly recommend for anyone wanting good food that is made with clean ingredients!“

“Awesome service for fast food! Great amount for the lunch special. Good and fresh food!! Clean. Clean. Clean!“

“I love to eat here the food is so good and the staff is friendly I just love this place“

“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.“

“We went in with a large group after Church and employees were so nice. Food delicious,“

“Decided to try this place yesterday. They are not dine in from what I saw so I ordered it through Uber Eats and had it delivered. This place had been recommended to me so I figured I'd try it. I got 1 bacon pizza, 1 Pepperoni, and a order of Buffalo wings. I'm not going to sugarcoat this. This pizza was mid at best it was just okay. Reminded me of generic pizza, like if you told me it was frozen pizza I'd believe you. It was like when Little Ceasars use to be bad because we all know they have gotten a lot better over the years. The pizza was really doughy. Like right on the verge of being raw dough. They put the toppings under the cheese so it was like I only had cheese pizza on one of them. It was a floppy mess and the sauce overpowered everything. Couldn't taste the Pepperoni or bacon and the cheese was a bit bland. 6/10 The wings were pretty good even though they ignored how I wanted them cooked. I wanted them extra well done like the option gave me on the app. We did not get that. They were a bit soggy but I have to admit they were still pretty good. Whatever Buffalo sauce they use absolutely said it. 7/10 All in all this place was decent but this would be low on my list of ever spending my money here again. I have been trying to try this place for awhile and when I finally did it was a huge let down.“

“Delicious breakfast in a casual atmosphere!“

“This is my second home! Seriously! Everyone works here and there treat me like family! I even is extremely cool with all workers & other customers tooo! They alll need BIG payroll raises! Names: Andrew, V, Angel & NeNe tooo!“

“Brooke is awesome, and so is the Great White. Definitely my favorite pizza chain!“

“Great atmosphere and delicious food! Very nice people are working there! We definitely want to go back!“

“Excellent top notch pizza (BBQ Brisket pizza, Philly pizza) all the way down to the crust, tasty fair price drinks, and excellent service, shout out to Gabby G Lakeview, Highly recommend!“

“Best service around, good food and the staff are top notch.“

“It is the best organic Mexican food that I have had. Everything is fresh and delicious. If you like Mexican food like I do, you really need to try it. I am just a customer and want it to stay here in Hoover. Even the guac is fresh, and bright green, unlike other places. Great pleasant staff and quick service. Yummy“

“Fantastic server, great atmosphere.“

“Love Clean Eatz. I stumbled across them on a Google search for healthy food establishments as I’m in the process of losing weight and they were one of the top choices to try. Since I tried them out, I have been coming back if I don’t bring a meal with me to work. Thus far have lost 20 pounds thanks to them and the great food they provide. Definitely recommend the chicken bacon ranch flatbread and the Mac n cheese. It is amazing!“

“Went to 2 different locations before visiting Prive/Palace. You get entry to the restaurant for free and the club in back for $10. Security will check you before entering and parking spaces were nice.

The bartender was very nice and the people eating were also very nice. We ate wings, fries, catfish nuggets and had some drinks in between visits to the back club“

“Nice bakery with plenty of classic options to choose from. I ordered a custom German Chocolate Cake for the holidays by phone. It was ready on time. The cake was moist and delicious. The only issue was pick up. My little cousin picked it up for me and the clerk behind the counter had a poor attitude for not reason. My cousin was only trying to order a cookie before leaving and paying for the cookie. Rude staff at this location.“

“Food is good when it's made right. I get the same thing every time, but it's never made the same. I picked up a Newks Q pizza just now that I ordered with no jalapeños. I did check it before I left, and it appeared fine. But whoever made it took it upon them selves to make the pizza with no sauce or chili either. I know what the sauce looks like. That pizza was dry AF. Super disappointing when you pay almost $20 for one pizza with a tip.“

“I have been here 3times back to back and I haven't been disappointed yet.“

“Fantastic chicken, amazing service and that SAUCE. Yum. So happy to have this in Greer, SC. 🙌🏼“

“Had the California Cobb with chipotle chicken, and my wife had the same with grilled chicken. Requested spring mix instead of arugula (not a fan of the spicy bite), but our salads came out with arugula anyway. Looks like the staff missed the order notes and just saw “California Cobb.” When we brought it up, the team replaced our salads with no hesitation and delivered them to our table with sincere apologies. Great service recovery! That said, the corrected salads were noticeably smaller and seemed rushed—maybe frustration in the kitchen? Still, they tasted fantastic. My daughter’s brownie was absolutely decadent—melt-in-your-mouth good. Overall, a good experience and we’ll definitely eat here again. Would be 5 stars if the replacement salads had matched the care of the originals. Highly recommend.“

“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)“
