“Great food and we never leave hungry“

“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!“

“Absolutely AMAZING! I always order through Door Dash and the food is ALWAYS so fresh and seasoned to perfection! Great Owner/Great Food!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“We are staying across the street at Best Western. We are in town for Alabama Football.
We walked across the street to try it.
The shrimp was terrific, Calamari was terrific. Huge portions, I could not eat it all.

I’d recommend this place and will be back for next time I’m in town for Roll Tide Football.“

“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!!“

“My oxtails and greens were good but y’all wrong for this dry Mac n chz. I can’t eat it“

“I was a customer at the Hueytown location today (March 29th) around 12:15. I ate there and ordered a grilled salmon which was just amazing. The lady working the front register was also working the drive thru as well. She did an excellent job even though she was doing both she had a"(genuine) smile on her face. As busy as she was She made me feel like I was her only customer. She even brought my tray to the table with the sauces included. I forgot to get her name before I left so I called and asked if I could have the name of the cashier currently working ⁷and she was who answered my phone call. she was just as delightful over the phone as she was in person. Her name is Susan . Definitely a nice change from past experiences. Hopefully she is a permanent addition. She made my visit delightful.“

“This was our first visit to Jubilee Joe's, but it won't be our last. The food we ordered was amazing. The Etouffè was the best I have ever eaten, wonderful flavor and a nice kick of heat. We enjoyed it so much, we got some to go. The Seafood Gumbo was top notch. Again amazing flavor. The service was fantastic, as well. Friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this wonderful restaurant.“

“there cleanliness great employees there food is the best.“

“I enjoyed my Birthday lunch with some friends here a couple of days ago. Everything I had was delicious! I can’t wait for another reason to enjoy another meal there!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Soooo one of my customer’s made me a plate from his restaurant today and I have to tell you….i have NEVER experienced Macaroni & Cheese like this. It was like a tangy-lemon-limey-feta-cheesy- dab of SHEER HEAVEN!!!! And the fresh Collard Greens? Oh. My. lord. THE BEST I have EVER had…EVER!!!! Better than my Grannie’s, god rest her soul. The Chicken was divine and I saw that they also barbeque Lamb Chops. I’ll try those next time. Everyone there are some of the kindest folks you will ever meet. Don’t feel like eating in? Go through the drive-thru and get a quart of that Mac-n-cheese and collards. I can’t even begin to describe how delicious they are. For real!!!! They Cater too!!! Divine!!!!“

“Best food truck I’ve ever had.“

“My husband and I love Golden City! We started going 3 years ago, and it has consistently been our favorite place in the area. We love their sushi rolls, sweet and sour chicken, and hibachi. My favorite is the egg drop soup. Not only is the food fantastic, but we always love the incredible service that Golden City provides.“

“Not a big fan for seafood but got it recommended so I had to try it myself. Pretty simple menu, with good variety to choose from. Focused mainly on the most popular seafood items. I was surprised they didn't have grouper on the menu. I had the pick 3 fried combo with Cajun fries and i was totally satisfied with what I had. They have a garlic seasoning very good with a touch of Cajun on it called King seasoning. It is a must try on your boiling combos 💪💪.
If you are seafood lover must give this place a try and see yourself. Dont forget add hushpuppies in your order.“

“great food and service“

“So I visited Carters Hooka bar & Grill for the first time. I had seen so many good reviews on another site so I decided to give it a try. To say I was underwhelmed wouldn't suffice. The atmosphere was nice, chill little vibe. Good music, good vibes, bad food & Drinks were disgusting. We ordered shrimp & grits, steak & shrimp, 2 blue MF (drinks) & Cajun ranch cheese fries. The grits were under cooked, no seasoning, and tasted like water. We added salt and that didn't help at all. The sausage was burnt and it was a little too done. The shrimp was seasoned but it didn't balance the grits. The steak and shrimp tasted like each other. They didn't have a distinct flavor, it's like they cooked it together. The steak was waaayyy overcooked and the heat wasn't hot enough because the steak didn't have a char on the outside. It was spicy along with the shrimp. It did come with 2 potatoes covered in cheese and a side salad that was mostly tomatoes & cucumbers minimal lettuce. The drinks were not good but not bad. Too much alcohol, the end that's all. I would come back but definitely not for the food.“

“Hot and Fresh Food, Superb Menu!“

“My recent visit to Good Friends Chinese & Seafood was a delightful journey into Chinese cuisine. The restaurant's inviting atmosphere set the stage for a satisfying meal. I ordered fried rice, egg rolls, and shrimp, and each dish was a delight. The fried rice was flavorful and perfectly cooked, the egg rolls were crispy and packed with savory fillings, and the shrimp was a succulent and flavorful treat. Good Friends Chinese & Seafood's dedication to authentic Chinese flavors and high-quality ingredients was evident in every dish. The friendly service and the welcoming ambiance added to the overall enjoyable experience. Whether you're a fan of fried rice, egg rolls, shrimp, or simply seeking a taste of China, Good Friends is a must-visit. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to savor more of their delicious offerings!“

“Hot and Fresh Food, Superb Menu!“

“I only give my bartender/server 5 stars.

I don’t understand why you can’t sub the sausage for something as simple as an egg or potato. I can’t consume pork. Either offer an alternative sausage meat or a substitute. Bar was also subpar and not many options to choose from.

The food is actually good though…“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ First Visit – Absolutely Incredible! The atmosphere was cozy and elegant, and the staff made us feel right at home from the start. But the highlight of the night? The food—hands down some of the best Italian cuisine we’ve ever had. Every bite was full of rich, authentic flavor, and you can tell the ingredients are top-quality. From the appetizers to the desserts, everything was delicious and beautifully prepared. This place is a true gem and we’re already planning our next visit. If you haven’t been yet you’re missing out!“

“Last night my husband and I ate dinner at Firebirds. Our steaks were INCREDIBLE. They could compete with Fleming’s or Perry’s. Our service was excellent. I wish I remembered our servers name, she was quick and very kind (she had on a David Yurman cross pendant, young and light brown hair). I do recommend making a reservation if you’re going on a Friday/Saturday night. As we were leaving, we heard the hostess say it would be a 3 hour wait for the party that just arrived. Will be back!“

“This is the best sushi I've found in the greater Birmingham area.
Amazing green tea
Super tasty takoyaki
Great value on the mini love boat. We asked for all sushi instead of half sushi half sashimi. The fish had great flavor.
Firecracker roll was a little sweet for me.
But if you like nigiri this is the place to go.“

“When , I tell you it’s the best place to go for seafood. I use to like the crab barrack in centerpoint but they don’t let you call in an order and u have to wait over a hour for food. I’m glad that they have The Crab Barrack at the Crossplex, food was even better than others.“

“They have some of the best food in town. Their fish is simply delicious. You can get family-sized servings for very economical prices. Need a quick DIY self-catering option? Call these folks!

Also, some of the freshest salad you've tried. Hands-down.

I bought a family-pack of fish for guests that I did not know were coming over. I needed a quick solution. The guests loved the food so much, one of them called me weeks later wanting info on the restaurant because she started craving the food.

Then another person who wasn't at my house that day called asking about it too because the guest was talking about their fish being so good😂 You have to try this restaurant ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“If anyone ever worked for their money, the Hontzas family sure has. First of all, they’re usually very busy but they sure know how to keep the line moving and get everyone seated promptly. In the food line there’s something for everyone. This is one of the few places where I could get all vegetables. The neighborhood is a bit rough but don’t let that discourage you from going bc people from all sides of town eat here.“

“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“

“Amazing quality and so much flavor! May become a weekly stop for our family. Going to challenge my kids to try every dessert once.“

“Good food and service In they nice and clean“

“. Definitivamente, cuando paso por Cinco de Mayo es imposible no entrar a disfrutar la deliciosa comida que preparan. Las bebidas también son riquísimas y sobre todo la atención. Siempre volveré“

“First tiñe in Alabama and stayed at the Renaissance Ross Bridge golf and country club. What a Lovely resort with superb golf. We dined at Brock’s restaurant. What a delightful surprise. Good, service and ambience all excellent. Chef Mark has amazing talent with combing flavors. Very creative and delicious food. Amazing talent. Kay was a wonderful server as well. Made our evening extra special. Thank you.“

“This is my favorite choice! The whole wings are delicious. The crew, they're are lovely, remember my name and everything. I've tried the shrimp, the whole catfish, chicken tenders, and onion rings in which where all top of the line. I wish I could give them 10 stars 🤩“

“Amazing food! Friendly service! Best fried pork chop I’ve ever had.“

“Derrick is an outstanding waiter and we really enjoyed our lunch! Tenderloin tips, mashed potatoes and onion straws for me, steak, salad and flash fried green beans for Paula---homeward bound! Still in a Wicked afterglow💚🖤💚.“

“The food is usually always good, hot except the french fries have been old or either sitting out for too long. Other than that the rest of the food I have eaten from here has been excellent. They have given me plenty of napkins and condiments every time I have eaten here. Employees are professional and respectful.“

“Composing of some of the work that we do out here and showing how we are grass ourselves with these politicians and our groceries of being carpenters and building engineer sings to build a home for ourselves underneath the world for you and I who never had a chance to explain things to each other we still have chances to make the world turn in our favor be strong and be worth and worthy of the Lord and be with God he will lead you into nothing but shrimp straightening in the whole truth and nothing but the truth“
