“I’ve been to Ragtime Cafe at least dozen times now for take out food and dine in. I absolutely love all the staff. Their menu is extensive and there is something for everyone. I usually get the beef tenderloin and blackened shrimp salad. Their beef tenderloin is melt in your mouth tender and so flavorful. Everything I’ve tried there has been delicious. Their bartender V is hilarious, fast, and knowledgeable. She remembers everyone’s names and things they like. She can have a million things going on and still be getting drinks out perfectly. I wish I had time to dine in more often instead of grabbing an order to go. They are well worth a try! They have indoor and outdoor dining and can be perfect for a date night or a night out with friends!“

“This place was amazing! One of the best burgers i have ever had!! The owner/chef and Angel were so so so nice. I can’t thank them enough. We were driving through from STL to FL and stopped in for a quick lunch with some family. I am so glad we did. We have a 1 year old and 3 year old. The 3 year old didn’t like the sauce on the burger (moms fault) so they got us a new bun and then we asked for some hot water to make a bottle and the owner went above and beyond and boiled water for us so it would stay hot for the rest of our car ride! Thank you so much for the amazing food and kind service.“

“The food is great, well prepared. The service is good as well besides me being brought my “Million Dollar Bacon” 10 minutes ahead of the rest of my food. I had to decline and tell them to wait until I’m brought all of my food. That’s my only gripe. The atmosphere is welcoming for what it’s worth. Depends on what’s “welcoming” in your eyes but it’s not unfriendly. In the end I highly recommend eating at this place. I’ve eaten at all 3 greater B’ham locations: Hoover, Vestavia, 280. Hoover’s the best in my opinion. The “MDB” is great. Pancakes are great. Italian Omelet I most recently had for first time was great as well as the grits. My girlfriend had French toast and loved it. Food has always hit the spot.“

The Boxcar Café at Railroad Park Cafe • $
Railroad Park Lake Path, Birmingham

“My first time at Railroad Park and we very much enjoyed our visit! The Alabama Symphony Orchestra was performing and it was brilliant! The weather was perfect for a night under the stars listening to an orchestra. We got in relatively quickly as it was a free show. There were a lot of people here! We brought our blanket and spread it out on the grass to listen to the show. It was crowded but not too bad where we couldn't spread out a bit. They had food trucks and plenty of places to get snacks. We were allowed to bring in a cooler with water and Cokes in it. The staff checking our things as we walked in were quick and friendly. There were plenty of portable restrooms as well as the ones at the facility. It's a very beautiful park and very clean from trash. There are several places within walking distance to get a drink or a meal. The only thing I found aggravating was the parking. There's only a limited number of street spaces available. We drove around for a good 20 minutes or so before finally finding a place to park. In all, it was a great show and a fun experience! Thanks!!“
