21 Best American Restaurants in Birmingham

“Great service, food and atmosphere.“

“Great drinks and night scene. Had a lot of fun their last night.“

“Hazel’s is one of those no-brainer places you hit with friends or family when you’re looking for something casual. Some dishes are better than others but overall the seafood is fresh and tasty. The servers have all been very tentative and nice over the years which makes for a positive experience. This is definitely a place I will continue to patron and recommend.“

“Stopped in for a cup of tea. The valet snd hostess were lovely. I think our waitress (Katie) was having a bad night ...no greeting, no smile, no options 😐 But we enjoyed our time at the Daxton, anyway, and will return for a more substantial visit.“

“Very fancy and expensive restaurant! However, note that they do NOT serve Baked Alaska anymore even though it is there on their menu online which needs to be updated. People were nice and very nice interior. The Make A Wish Sundae was big and was delicious with the brownies and ice cream definitely tasting better than any grocery store ice cream I usually get.“

“Let me just say I didn't actually go in but I placed a special order over the phone. I spoke with Adrienne and it was a great experience. She did a wonderful job, I will absolutely be going in person now.“

“A special day. A special night. Couldn't be better. Arranged by our son and daughter. The waiter did everything, except eat our food. The wines were a delight and the steak and salmon were prepared with artistry. He guided us with each entre and the salad was shared by us with dressing aside. Wine, was by the glass and was both red and white and light, semidry and elegant. Our perfect dinner ended the perfect evening. Thank you 220 Merrill for a wonderful 50th.“

“I've been to the restaurant quite a few times and would definitely recommend my friends and family to check it out. The food is amazing.“

“Iconic Avocado Toast, puts the rest to SHAME!! We are right across the street from this gem and no only is the food always supurb, the staff is always on point and they run our food to us at no charge if we need them to. The truffle fries and a cheeseburger are my fave guilty pleasures.“

“We came after dinner for drinks for our anniversary. We met Chris and Scott and they were amazing! They had great energy and they were so nice. I would highly recommend going when they are both working for a great experience! The drinks were great as well!“

“On Set. 19, I brought my 96-yr-old mom here for a drink and hors d'oeuvres. I had sent a note on the online reservation form that we would appreciate a quiet table. The receptionist had knowledge of the request without my saying anything, and immediately showed me three locations she thought would suit. I wish I had gotten her name, for management to commend her. (We arrived at 5:15, which should help you know to whom I refer.) We sat in a booth, and our server, Usama, made our nearly 3-hr (!) visit truly joyful and perfect! Again, management - please take note. We agreed that he was the best waiter either of us have ever had - attentive, fun and funny, and going the extra mile in tailoring our drinks to our (sweet-tooth!) tastes, and making us feel welcome and special. This was likely my mom's final "fancy" outing, and I am so grateful to Usama for making it perfect. Kudos also to the chefs. Our 3 dishes were superb - beef tips, shrimp, hummus.“

“An attentive and friendly staff, premium cocktails, great food and a lovely atmosphere can all be found at The Birmingham Pub!“

“Had brunch here with my husband. We had the Southern Cali Omelette n Smoked Salmon Omelette which was delicious. The staffs were friendly n the place very pleasant. Will recommend this place to friends back home in Malaysia. Will visit the place again.“

“Always consistently good beer, food, and service. We stop in whenever we're in town.“

“I stop by Hunter house anytime I am in the area. They have the best burgers, onion rings fries you can look over the menu inside and not one thing in there I would not recommend trying. That is my go to spot when I want a top of the line fresh burger yes can be busy, But it’s definitely worth the wait. I have never gotten my order wrong or the wrong order for that matter. The staff is good. They are friendly, funny great sense of humor. I’ve been going there for years and I’ll still keep going. It’s a great place. If you want something from outside of the ordinary, it’s grilled and deep fried right there. You can either call ahead and have your order done or you can walk right in you can dine in or you can order a carryout right from the inside. It’s a local treasure for Birmingham, Royal Oak, Southfield, and Clawson, Michigan“

“I loved the movie and would like to see it again“

“Very fancy and expensive restaurant. One of the few restaurants in metro Detroit (and likely the whole of Michigan) that serves Baked Alaska. They do not flame it in front of you nor does it come with sparklers like some restaurants may do. Still it was delicious. Jamie was a great waitress, friendly and in a good mood. There is no parking lot for Forrest, however after 5:30 pm and on weekends you can use the AAA Birmingham parking lot which is right next door. Very nice interior. The water glasses are small. There is a candle at the table.“

“Love this place been coming here for years“

“Great atmosphere and amazing food!! Nothing I don’t love ❤️“

“We love coming to this place for lunch when we are in the area. Great food with timely service. Not to mention the delicious cookies.“

“Fun casual dining- great food, good service!“
