Has potential but needs work. The inside was clean and the right atmosphere for a cigar bar. Staff was new and trying but very lacking. They could not find a wine listed on their menu, it was a white and they kept trying to provide a red. There were other things they just didn't seem to have a handle on and were trying almost too hard to please.

I had an amazing experience last night. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and had the chance to sit and chat with the new owners. Their cigar selection is outstanding—well-curated, fresh, and offering something for every palate. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable, taking the time to guide me through the options and making sure I found exactly what I’d enjoy. Highly recommend for both seasoned cigar lovers and newcomers!

Could be a great place but the two owners have no clue what they are doing. Had resling wine on the menu but didn't have a clue what it was or were it was at. New bartender was trying hard but was having trouble. They tried to force a cigar on my wife who told them 3 times she didn't smoke.

Went here for a work meeting. Honestly incredible atmosphere, the attendant was knowledgeable on cigars. As someone who does not smoke them often, it was a great experience.

Had so much fun!! The weekends are a new vibe!! Love the mix of a fun, upbeat, music filled evening with the chance to try some premium cigars?! Chefs kiss!! 😘 and the fish?! Perfect fish Friday. Thank you Godfather Cigar Bistro. A Friday night to REMEMBER!

Amazing experience!!! Atmosphere was fantastic, lovely ambiance and music.
Decor and seating was upscale, nice layout and very clean. Owners knowledge of cigars was extremely impressive!! Very friendly and efficient staff. Drinks and food were excellent and came out quickly!! Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a spot with a vast drink selection, great tasting hot food and an excellent cigar experience!

Amazing place. Visiting from out of town and will definitely be back!

Preface -

I live nearby and pass the establishment at least twice a week, but have never visited.
When three of my friends decided we would have our yearly dinner/cigar x-mas celebration here, I was stoked to try it out and thrilled that it was so close to home.
We typically go to Big Rock in Birmingham, or some other upscale restaurant and spend a small fortune on steak, bottles of wine, and cigars but our schedules were conflicted and this was our only opportunity to get together for the holidays (Monday night (12/16)).

Experience -

I walked in just before 8:00pm to find my party already seated and with empty glasses in front of them - they arrived about 30 minutes prior. They had just finished their first round of drinks and I showed up just in time to enjoy their company, some drinks, a nice meal, and perhaps a cigar afterward.
It was over 20 minutes before anyone came to take our order or ask if I wanted a drink. There was only ONE other party of about 8 people in the place - they were taken care of pretty well from the looks of it and were all packing up to leave.
We ordered a round of drinks. I ordered a 'super' dirty martini. My friends ordered a beer and a Manhattan, and glasses of water were requested by all of us.
Another 20 minutes passed before my drink (and ONLY my drink) arrived. The martini was crystal clear and had not even a tinge of olive brine. I found it extremely odd that no other drinks came and no water either - just my martini was delivered. We ordered dinner and my friends reaffirmed their drink selections.
About 15 minutes later, the waitress came by to tell us the kitchen was out of ribs, buffalo chicken egg rolls, and charcuterie boards and asked if we would we like to see the menu again... Also, she claimed to also be out of the beer (Hacker Pschorr) which was ordered by one of us.
We attempted to piece together our meals with other menu offerings, but ultimately, we decided on taking our business elsewhere as we were concerned that the lack of attention to detail we witnessed might also reflect the quality the food. We affirmed with the waitress that only our flatbread was already in the making, and we canceled the rest of our food and drinks. We asked to be cashed out, but after waiting another 15 minutes for our bill and with no waitress in sight, we decided to leave $50 on the table and we took our business elsewhere.

Afterthoughts -

Not exactly sure why this place fell so short - I've never seen anything like it. The waitress appeared to write everything down we asked for, but the follow-through was beyond poor. Never an apology was offered and she actually breathed a sigh of relief when we said we were thinking about going somewhere else. It WAS a Monday night and super slow in there - perhaps they didn't have the staff or kitchen personnel available to accommodate us. If they cannot serve their full menu on weekdays, they should keep the kitchen closed or provide a menu with current offerings. We had no idea what was even 'available' to order on the menu that they would be willing to cook for us.
We headed down the street to Black Label Tavern (also a new place for me). Despite it being late (they also close at 11:00p), we had a great meal and the waitstaff was friendly and attentive to us.

recently went in there with 2 friends and coworkers. It was a quiet day with not too many people in there but you would not know it by the attention of the staff. Food and drinks were excellent. They had all of the college football games on. Their food specials are amazing, their 15 dollar meatloaf is the quality and quantity that you would pay close to 30 dollars anywhere else. The environment is wonderful, you could not smell anyone else's cigars which means their ventilation is spot on.
