Restaurants in Bessemer

“A former college teammate of mine took my son and I to this fabulous steak and seafood place. The food was great and the historical atmosphere added to the fantastic food. Plan to bring my wife here on my next trip down south. I know she will love it!”

“I really like all their cookies but the chocolate chip is a classic and can never get old. I love the fact that they add salt to it which makes it unique. It’s just the right amount of sweetness and flavor. Thank you crumble! :)”

“Great food and we never leave hungry”

“I always have a wonderful time when I'm out with all my friends there we are like a huge family there everyone knows everyone and if it's your first time there u will be welcomed with open arms and let's not for get MoMA Darlene best bartender in town”

“Great night club. Nice atmosphere. The band was incredible! We had a lot of fun. The folks I met were all super cool. I did not try the food, but maybe next time!”

“The grilled pork chop, collards and broccoli were delicious and well seasoned. The cornbread dressing had an unusual, non traditional taste that I didn’t like. Good price and portions.”

“I work a lot of Logan’s while doing seminar sales. This was the best staff so far. I found them to be the most helpful and attentive. From Ashlan the GM to Josh the server, I could always count on them to assist me and all my potential customers. I hope to return again soon. Tommy - MASA”

“The staff are extremely friendly and the food was actually really good. I got crab legs and wings. The wings were crispy and cooked perfectly. The crab was delicious.”

“Nice place! Ask for Sophia.”

“I like the chicken wings and have been getting them for a long time. Have also tried the different salads and specials. Truthfully I was disappointed to see that chicken on salad has been reduced to small bites. I am aware of cost changes but this us ridiculous. Smaller but not minuscule.”

“They always have what I want and what my family orders and literally the only problem I run into is they forget a BBQ sauce every now and then but I have some at home so its no biggie really”

“Masa is our absolute FAVORITE place to eat! Our kids LOVE it and the owners treat us like family with warm smiles and big hugs when we come! The food is always excellent with a HUGE sushi menu, we still haven’t tried it all yet but we have loved everything we have tried! Our 6 year olds ask for it all the time! Masa is like our home away from home when we need an excellent meal and don’t feel like cooking!”

“I went here for the first time on a lunch break. I got the lemon pepper wet. Never tried the wet seasoning and it was delicious will definitely be back and recommend to others. Customer service was amazing!”

“Clean. Good. Unexpected. Cheap. Not always super fast, but it's always made to order. In an industrial area with few choices, they stand out above the regular fast food spots.”

“Awesome place spoke with the owners and employees for a while such nice great people and if that wasn’t good enough the food is amazing!!! We live 3 hours from here but it is definitely worth the drive!”

“I haven’t been over to see Jamié in many years. Still number one.”

“I ordered to of the #6 specials which was burgers, my two loved it. The burgers was homemade and nice size. It was worth it. I ordered a sampler for myself which was 2 ribs with bone, chopped BBQ, and 1/4 chicken which was the breast and wing, with Mac n cheese, and Baked beans.
Now my ribs was kinda on the dry side, the chopped BBQ was about the same, so I skipped out on trying the chicken. The Mac n cheese was a disappointment, just broke my little heart!. The bake beans was ok.
I can't say I won't visit anymore, but I will not be going out my way to go there.”

“The cake will absolutely MELT in your mouth! I tried the red velvet, the lemon and the caramel cake. All were mouthwatering!!”

“There are some restaurants you eat at once and enjoy, and then there are places like WT’s that feel like they’re stitched into the fabric of the community. After 39 years of being open, this place isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an icon in Bessemer. Honestly, it deserves to be considered a historic landmark.

We came in and had the bologna sandwich and the shrimp salad, and both were absolutely outstanding. The bologna sandwich was piled high, grilled just right, and hit every nostalgic note you could hope for. The shrimp salad was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. On top of that, the soup of the day was rich and comforting—true scratch-made goodness that you don’t find just anywhere. Even the sweet tea, served in a mason jar, felt right at home here.

But WT’s isn’t just about the food. It’s about the people. Meeting Wanda and Patti was an absolute highlight—they welcomed us like family, and that warmth is exactly why so many people keep coming back year after year. Reading through other reviews, you can see the same story repeated over and over: great food, great service, and the kind of Southern hospitality that makes you feel like you belong.

The atmosphere is cozy and unpretentious—nothing fancy, just real and genuine. You can feel the history in the place, and it’s clear how much love and effort has gone into keeping it thriving for nearly four decades.

If you’re anywhere near Bessemer, you owe it to yourself to stop here. Whether it’s for a quick lunch, a hearty dinner, or just to soak up the atmosphere of a true local gem, WT’s delivers. It’s the kind of place that reminds you why independent restaurants matter so much—because they’re built on tradition, pride, and community.

WT’s is more than a meal—it’s an experience, and one you won’t forget”

“My family and I (including the omnivores) LOVED the lasagna, candied yams, collards, maple roasted brussel sprouts, banana pudding and the pineapple ginger lemonade! Bessemer is so fortunate to have access to your talent! We live in Virginia and are visiting family this week…having this option and ability to pick up warm food on Thanksgiving day morning was such a mental blessing for me! Having such amazing deliciousness that impressed everyone was a win-win! Also the jerk mushrooms ya’lll they are a spicy wonderful explosion of flavor!!”

“Everyone helps! You won’t finish a drink before another is on your table! My kinda hospitality. Servers and so friendly!”

“The food was delicious and the portions were large. We had the chili relleno and chicken quesadilla. I highly recommend.”

“Speedy's is a great hometown restaurant with terrific Mexican food. Their taco salads are our family favorite. Fast, friendly service and tasty food!”

“tried the quesabirria tacos today. probably the best tacos I have ever eaten. I will definitely go back and recommend them to everyone!”

“This Waffle House is right off of I459 @ Morgan Rd exit. Our waitress was so sweet, she was respectful & provided service with a bunch of smiles. The music was festive and everyone seemed to enjoy the vibe that was going on. The food was tasty & delightful.”

“I got two shrimp and broccoli with fried rice, a quart of hot and sour soup, and an egg roll. It was good as always (i been here multiple times.) One item i tried a couple months and i don't recommend is the honey chicken. The chicken that's used is low quality and the sauce is meh. It doesn't really compare to Lucky Panda Asian Kitchen's Honey chicken though.”

“This dude is the truth. One man band. He takes your order. Prepares your food and brings it out to you. Nice, clean atmosphere. Prices are a little steep but everything is quality so you get what you pay for.”

“They were so kind & after I asked if they give discounts to military she responded... yall took care of us, so we'll take care of yall. That made my day & the sandwich was delicious.”

“Got the Brisket and it was amazing! Better than JNN!”

“Las chimichangas son sabrosas y todo de muy buena calidad .Y atienden muy bien .Ya quiero volver de nuevo .”

“My husband is making it a point of us eating healthy, counting calories and our diet has recently changed for the best. We've had it the past 2 days and won't be surprised if we have it again tomorrow”

“10/10- have used them several times for catering large groups and have never been disappointed. Neither have my guests!! Great food. Extremely affordable. Very accommodating. My go-to for Mexican cuisine in Columbia.”

“Best shrimp an grits ever”

“My legal assistant and I went to check out the new find, "MeMe's Coffee and Deli," and we were not disappointed. We discovered a coffee shop serving food, karaoke, theme days like Taco Tuesdays, etc. We had our hands full already from our walk today and were not able to get much, but we ordered coffee and hot chocolate, and let me tell you, I am picky about my hot chocolate. I am hooked from the first sip of it. Plan on going there tomorrow for lunch.”

“Great menu and customer service. The ice cream nachos & chicken salad were absolutely amazing.”

“The food was amazing and affordable! Can not wait to come back when she opens back up🤗”

“Small cramped bar with lots of smoke and regulars who sit at gambling machines every night. Coolest part about this place was that you will get to know everyone in a visit or two.”

“The only down side is that it located inside a gas station. But the service was A-1, the staff was awesome, and the hot dogs where great!! Stop by and give them a try!!”

“Quick/kind service and yummy authentic Mexican food. 10/10”

“I have been twice and on both occasions food was fresh, hot, oil fresh, crisp vegetables, and seasoned well. I would recommend and I will be returning.”

“I recommend it, good seasoning, you have to spread the word if there are good tacos in Alabama, I'm from the sultana of Northern Mexico, Monterrey, those charros are raffling it off, keep it up and you will always have ”

“Whenever I get a high test score, my grandfather drives me out and lets me get a whole basket full of pastries, and it’s never more than $30 for the whole lot. The best part- they aren’t expired. We call it “The Day-Old Bread Store,” but everything is dated at least a month ahead of when you buy it. I highly recommend this as your go-to pantry stuffer store”

“They have the best flavors!”

“This was an outdoor food truck. Their tacos and quesabirria were amazing!! Loved their salsas, and the food was served very quickly. There isn't any seating, so we just ate in our car. Delicious!!”

“When we visit from Mississippi, we eat at Full Moon at least once. My favorite thing is the Fried Green Tomato’s and the carrot cake. I need to find out what kind of HoneybMustard Sauce they use, the best I ever had. 💜💛”

“friendly service Great Staff Independently Black Owned”

“Omg. Where to start!!!! This place is just unbelievably awesome.My recommendation.Do me a favor!!If you are into spicy foods, then please ask for a Burrito with the red spicy tortilla filled with steak and chorizo all the way. You will thank me later. ?”

“Food prices a bit higher than other soul food restaurants, ($9.18 for 2 veggies and a piece of bread) but customer service was A1 and fast delivery of food ordered. The food was delicious and I love the fact that it was black owned. Will eat here again.”

“My husband and I both enjoyed the food and the excellent service. The food was hot and our tea glasses never were empty. The atmosphere was nice. It was a great experience.”

“A big thanks to Buttercup N Company for the awesome, delectable chocolate chip w/pecan cookies. The recipient was on cloud nine as he enjoyed every morsel!🍪🍪💝”

“Everything was so nice, all the pastries were fresh and the waffle cone ice cream was delicious! I give it a 10 out of 10 and I also love that she made me a banana milkshake with fresh bananas!”

“We walked in here several months ago and did not realize it was a different restaurant from 2 years ago. I’m not real big on Mexican food. However this is my new favorite place to eat. Drinks are awesome as well!”

“Wednesday September 15. Food and service was excellent. The young people helping me were so nice and polite. The food was hot and fresh. And I let the manager know.”

“I hadn't been in over 8 years. I used to work around the corner. I used to eat there every week. I came home to Alabama and wanted something good. I told my husband about the place. We pulled up, and I told him if it's young people in her there I'm not staying. I opened the door and was elated. The food was amazing just like I remembered.”

“I just picked up sugar cookies, chocolate chip sugar cookies and peanut brittle from Amy. She is such a nice person and this stuff is freaking amazingly good!!!! Peanut brittle is about the best I’ve ever had!!!! Highly suggest y’all getting from her!!!”

“Zack waited on me and he greeted me like every customer longs for. He made sure my order was correct and wished me a good day.
The Sneaky Pete Originals were delicious.
Paul and Karen
Karen Jones Food and Family on YouTube.”

“I just want to take a few minutes to BRAG on this SUBWAY. THEY SET THE BAR EXTREMELY HIGH❤️❤️❤️The store is SO CLEAN, it’s actually SPOTLESS!!!! The customer service is TOP- NOTCH. THE bread is so SOFT and FRESH. The veggies are AMAZING. I feel like I’m eating FRESH VEGGIES STRAIGHT FROM THE GARDEN. The meats and cheese’s are SUPERB. You can tell they TRULY CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS❌⭕️❌⭕️ FROM NOW ON…. THIS LOCATION IS THE ONLY ONE I WILL GO TO. THANK YALL FOR BEING SO AWESOME I HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS LOCATION”

“Love their food. Always friendly service.
Dining area is always clean.
However, recently they have been drive through only. Drive thru is great if you need that, but we prefer going in, sitting down and talking while we eat. What's up on Morgan Road, seems that you never have dine in anymore. We were by there 3 times this week and ended up somewhere else.
Just asking?????”

“Every morning I stop by to get my medicine ball tea The person there and very polithey're very polite know my name to my name and know what I like”

“Ordered in restaurant. No long wait for food. Staff courteous. Place clean. Food delicious! One of the few places that I have been to that still has real gravy for the Egg Fu Yung. Not available for eat-in.”

“I had posted on social media about some people in need of food . A wonderful gentleman named Erick ive never met showed up and bought plates for 7 people here . When I got there I met the wonderful owner Reggie who covered part of Erik’s bill for these families. I delivered the dinner and they said the food was AMAZING ! THANK YOU I will definitely be going back Definitely a win for Bessemer Al”

“Always very nice staff and fresh food. The food is delicious too”

“I’ve been coming to this particular restaurant my entire life. I’ve never really had any problems there. I came Saturday to get a family meal to have while watching football. The gentleman at the drive thru was so nice! And, the food was on point! Y’all are rocking it!!”

“3 server Sleep place nasty. waited for 10 minutes for some one to come to front to tell me the waiting to clean the worst crew I ve ever came across in a Waffle house”

“Everything I ate was delicious. I had the # 6 and the dipping sauce was Double O and I thought it was yummy. Also got a vanilla milkshake afterwards and it reminded me of homemade ice cream.”

“Small but flavorful lunch buffet. I have been coming here for over 20 years! Not sure if it’s the same ownership or not but the food is consistently. My wife believes they have the best egg drop soup!”

“I did a call in and order on July 11th around 7:00 p.m. Whoever the fella cooking the pizza was did an amazing job with my pizza. Loaded with my toppings of choice. This is the first time I've ever ordered a pizza from Marcos and I could not be happier! I do not like papa John's, dominos or pizza hut anymore..sanpeggio's dough taste wierd.. so I haven't ordered pizza in a very long time and I was trying to figure out what I was craving and they nailed it!!! 😋”

“Went there this morning and got a egg bacon and cheese toaster get back to my church there was no egg on it I paid for extra cherries I asked them was the cherry in it they said yes I get back there's no cherries at all”
