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!”

“Great food and we never leave hungry”

“Harry and Billy's is a great place to have drinks or come sing karaoke . Ms. Darlene ( aka mama) is the best bartender in Bessemer in my opinion. Drink prices are good .pool tables with tourneys are held here a few days a week. They have game night on Tuesday I believe. Trading paint was filmed here . Everyone is welcome.( just be nice.) Food is NOT served here you are welcome to order to here or bring your own.”

“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 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.”

“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 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”

“Nice place! Ask for Sophia.”

“Amazing lunch here, the servers fantastic, keeping our drinks filled and checking on us frequently. Our neals were prepared exactly as we ordered. It was busy here but we did not wait very long. Our experience here was perfect. Thank you.”

“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!”

“Why are they closed? I drove to the bldg to see what is going on with them and there is paper all over the window like they are closed for good. I hope they reopen in a cleaner more modern bldg in Bessemer. Posted 4.27.2025

Original review from months ago
----------
Food is very reasonably priced for the amount of food you receive
Candy yams- pretty and delicious when fully cooked (sometimes they are undercooked)
Dumplings- the sauce and chicken are good, the dumplings taste doey sometimes
Rice- good
Lemon cake- delicious...have this flavor more often please
Cornbread-; good
Greens- good

I recommend when you have a taste for being at home come to this place.

P. S. On Sunday, they sometimes have a LIVE person singing.”

“Amazing Food, 1000/10! Always hot and fresh. Great customer service.”

“I love this place! It has a warm environment and caring staff. It’s the best place in town to get a chicken salad. The chicken is seasoned well and very tender. The dressing appears to be made from scratch. They are also very generous with their portion sizes, I can often share. If you haven’t tried this place it’s worth checking out! Thank you to the kind people that own and operate it :)”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing food…Al Pastor tacos are 🔥”

“Excellent food and even better service. Everything is made to order so even my picky family gets exactly what they want. We love love this place so much we eat here every week, quarantine weeks included.”

“Without a doubt an eye opening experience into the art of barbecue!!! Friendly staff, incredible food!!”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“Good food and drinks great atmosphere”

“Menu variety, staff service. We stopped by on our way to Tuscaloosa and we’re delighted by the helpfulness of the owner, the food quality, and the wide array of choices. The interior is pleasant and warm, and if we hadn’t been on the road I could see having a lovely book club meeting or a quick lunch for 2 here. Great ambiance, great service. Also such a unique and local food option vs rushing through a fast food drive-thru. We have family in the area and will absolutely be returning!”

“Solcial Veg deserves a special mention for coming through with my last-minute order. As I searched for a distinctive gift for my brother-in-law this Christmas, I reached out to a group for vegan dish suggestions and received a prompt response from Fatimah Shabazz. She prepared six meals to last the week, and my brother-in-law appreciated the gesture. It proved to be an exceptional gift! I appreciate everything, Fatimah. While I didn't take a picture, the meals were outstanding, well-prepared, and clearly labeled. ❤️”

“If you’re ever in Bessmer Alabama, you have got to stop by if it’s before 7 o’clock, you’ve got to stop by and see Miss Wanda at WT’s restaurant and lounge. she is the sweetest lady she will come to your table sit down take your order. She make sure that she gets everything to you and the food is absolutely wonderful. We have not had a bad meal there yet.”

“I absolutely love the season chips that they serve along with their hot sauce. Their taco salad is really the best one.”

“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”

“Ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok omn”

“Everything was delicious! 10/10!!”

“Let me start this review by saying our server "Flo" was not only hospitable but so sweet. I immediately felt taken care of as she explained the menu to my grandmother with a friendly and reassuring smile. I ordered "The Hawaiian" which was a sizzling fajita plate with steak and pineapple as well as the usual mix of peppers and onions. It came out hot, seasoned and delicious. The portion was hefty and the three soft tortillas included with the meal were not only wrapped in foil to retain heat, they were soft and fresh. Couldn't recommend this place more!”

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

“Got 3 Supreme Meat footings tonight and they were delicious! I really appreciate the fact that you make them to order because I like a bit of sweet with my spicy! Sweet Teriyaki sauce is good on a Supreme Meat sub! Thank you!”

“Great fast service and delicious food!”

“Nov 2024 - Had a great breakfast ON PURPOSE thanks to Liz! She also is spot-on amazing. Much appreciated!
******
Oct 2024 - Kristen ("Big Kris", she says) is spot-on amazing and the food was PERFECT again!
******
This guy can cook! I was seriously impressed when we went there Sunday afternoon. My medium-well eggs were perfectly done... And most people can't seem to do that. The staff was friendly and accommodating, but not intrusive. Food was excellent. This experience really changed my mind about "Awful" House.

I'm really looking forward to going to this Waffle House again this weekend. Hope the same staff is there and the experience is just as good.”

“Best shrimp an grits ever”

“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!!”

“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.”

“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. 💜💛”

“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.”

“The server were nice and attentive. Food was hot, quick and on point. I will recommend this Waffle House to anyone that like there food cooked correctly. I will return. Thank you all for the get service.”

“Sweet and Sour sauce needs alot work. It's thin and flavor doesn't last when eating the chicken with it. Chicken Fried Rice on the other hand is really good. P.s. They did not give me silverware. Unsure if that is their normal.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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”

“The smoked thanksgiving turkeys were amazing! Johnny went above and beyond this year to help me provide a Thanksgiving staple for my family. What a delicious meal we had and I’m so thankful for Austin Whereabouts!”

“This is probably one of the cleanest & best Dairy Queens I've been to in a long time. The place was clean, great service, really hot food, fully frozen blizzards! I was shocked. They did a fantastic job!”

“The best PIZZA I have ever had in my life! YES!!! <3”

“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”

“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.”

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

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

“I'm sorry but my porkchops was tough and the cheese in my macaroni was stiff. my cornbread muffin was half way done totally was a waste of my money.. was jus there today”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Yo this might be the best Chinese I’ve had in a while, all the food was fresh and tasty. The noodles and eggroll were absolute perfection. I highly recommend to everyone. I had the General Tso chicken and it was really good too. Must try?”

“friendly service Great Staff Independently Black Owned”

“I've been here three times since the change to Hotspot. It's been good every time

Prices are very fair, service was great, and the food was good. They definitely have made an effort to better the place and people should stop and check it out. Ignore the other reviews from the past.”

“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.”

“Great service! Brittany and staff were excellent. Also, misplaced my credit card at the register. It was safely secured and I was able to retrieve it when I realized what happened. Great Job!”

“I ordered take out and the food was excellent! They have the best hot & sour soup. I also ordered hunan chicken with lo main and an egg roll. I highly recommend China Wok.”

“To Whom This May Concern;

I have been hearing and seeing store signs so I got a chance to try this restaurant out and it was awesome, I will advise everyone to go and enjoy”
