“We went to Magnolia Point for the first time last night and are so glad we did. The food was delicious, service fast and attentive and the prices very reasonable. It’s a great place to take kids because it’s got lots of food they would like (fish tocos, hamburgers, etc) and not too fancy. There’s also a great outdoor patio that we cant wait to try. We’ll be back for sure!“

“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!!!!“

“Always amazing! Great staff and great food…and the drinks are good as well!“

“Best food truck I’ve ever had.“

“Love this place. The food is absolutely amazing! they've got a beautiful waitress as well, she's always really kind and really sweet and really outgoing, very personable. she's very knowledgeable of the menu, always has a smile on her face and always makes you feel like your family when you come in. the prices are really great as well. there's nowhere else you can go to get an entree for $15.99, that's about average at location. you can't go to McDonald's for that. great food, great fun, great times, and I look forward each time that I go. I just got back today actually, I went to dinner there tonight. love it!“

“Excellent food and service 😊“

“Went to Amore tonight for our anniversary dinner. Our waiter, Robert, was outstanding explaining the specials of the day and suggesting a great wine which really complimented our dinner of shrimp and lobster linguine which was cooked to perfection. Our dessert of crème brûlée was spectacular! The best meal we have had in a while and I highly recommend Amore for a truly enjoyable experience.“

“My first time at Bellini's and it has a lovely atmosphere. We had one in our party with a red meat allergy. Someone other than our waitress brought the food out and when she came back to the table she was very concerned and conscientious, making sure the correct plate was delivered to the correct diner. We also had a 19 month old with us and our waitress was so sweet to accommodate the baby as well. There was just enough crowd noise that we didn't feel like our toddler was disturbing anyone. The food was delicious all around. We will definitely be back.“

“Awesomeness! Seafood Shack offers a large selection of delicious choices you wouldn't find in the other Seafood restaurants or any other of restaurants in the area. A huge plus is how NomNom GOOD all of the food offered tastes. Love the prices! Thank you very much for your
service with a smile every time we enter, order, and stay to eat. This restaurant will always know success!“

“Flew in from Houston and so glad I stopped here. Had the fried green tomato BLT with a cold PBR draft and it was amazing! If you’re in Birmingham you gotta give this place a try, 100 out of 100 ⭐️’s!!“

“Some of the best chicken in Center Point AL!!! Always cooked to perfection, just the right amount of lemon pepper, fried hard! ? Must try if you are in the Center Point area. Never had any issue with customer service, quick getting the orders out.“

“Fresh delicious food and friendly service. The place is gorgeous.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Initially when hearing under new management I was worried. However, the wing sauce was incredibly delicious. The Cajun ranch okra was cooked with perfection. The food was hot, quick, and scrumptious! The atmosphere was clean and enjoyable. The service was phenomenal! I was greeted when entering. I was told of promotional deals. I was treated with respect and courtesy. Thank you! I will most definitely be back.“

“My family dined for lunch today for my Dad's 87th birthday. Our waitress was so sweet and did everything perfectly, including indulging us by taking a family photo. Our table had boudin balls and hushpuppies appetizers. Several of our table had The Shrimp platter and it was a ton of food that they all enjoyed. 3 of us had the Melvin's Chicken plate which is 2 thin chicken breasts and some conecca sausage on top of mashed potatoes with sautéed onions and bacon drizzled in a sweet balsamic glaze. It was wonderful. The birthday boy had fried crab claws and french fries and beignets for dessert. Thank you Cajun Steamer for a great family meal.“

“Hot and Fresh Food, Superb Menu!“

I'm not sure if they read your reviews and changed but I haven't had not one problem and the food has bern hot and Delicious. I Pray it stays this way“

“This is one of the hidden gems in town! Always fantastic food and I eat here at least twice a week. The service is outstanding and always friendly. Sue the hostess that works the door is amazing. She remembered my name by the second visit and always greets me with a smile?. The entire staff is unbelievable and you feel like you are eating lunch with best friends. Highly recommend!!!“

“My boyfriend and I went for date night after someone recommended it for the quality of food for the price! It was so good, and Abby our server/bartender was amazing! They were short staffed and only had one server, but Abby, the bartender, was quick to offer us service at the bar. We had an amazing experience and the food was delicious.“

“This was our 32nd anniversary dinner. The restaurant made us feel welcome and special. Our starter was a gift of the house and we chose the charcuterie board. The board was well balanced and was a great start on the meal. With the starter we also had two signature cocktails for the fall menu. We chose the Infused Apple Bourbon drink and the Cranberry Sage Gin drink. These provided a great start to the meal. For our entrees we chose the Filet and the Kona-seasoned Lamb. Both were accompanied by broccolini and mashed potatoes. The meat was prepared perfectly and was well seasoned and sauced. The sides were well prepared as well. We finished the meal with a Belgian Chocolate Mousse. All in all an excellent meal.“

“Awesome service and even better food. Can't go wrong booking Simone's Kitchen. We hired them at my property for an event and will definitely hire them again!!“

“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.“

“Fresh seafood and wonderful staff“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!“

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I wanted crab legs for my birthday, and the Crab Barrack did not disappoint! our table started with drinks and the fried calamari, which was delicious. Lightly fried, not greasy, and the meat was tender, not chewy. I ordered a 1/2 pound of crab legs, a lobster tail, and added a boiled egg; all in the garlic butter sauce. It was boiled to perfection! I was able to crack the legs with my hands and pull out solid pieces of meat. The meat was tender and not at all dry. It was the same for the lobster tail. The others at the table ordered fried okra, shrimp, and fish. Everything was delicious and we will definitely be back!!“

“Good food and service In they nice and clean“

“Good food nice and friendly staff“

“The food was perfect, i got a blue crab and smow crab boil. It had all the usual potatoes, corn, sausage. The sausage was so delicious, i wanted a few more. I couldn't hear what the server was asking because he was so soft spoken and the music in there is at like a volume 9/10. It was so loud it was rediculas, I had to yell across the table to my husband for him to hear me. He has sensitive ears so he very unhappy the entire time. But the food was very good. I'll just take it togo next time.“

“Dinner was absolutely amazing! Service was stellar. The Fleming's staff made tonight memorable from the moment O entered the building until my exit.“

“Super clean establishment! Fast friendly service and love the specials! 😍 Always something new here to catch my eye.“

“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“

“Best pork-chop EVER!! And our server Mary Kay gave us top notch service! She was truly Amazing!“

“We celebrated our friend, Tara's birthday, and it was absolutely perfect! The staff was friendly and inviting (and hyped the birthday girl up), the DJ was on point, the drinks were superb, and there are no words for the food! We could hardly get out the door because the music kept pulling us back in! This place is all it's hyped up to be, and we can't wait to go back!“

“Awesome place to be, my first time there and it won't be my last. I had an awesome experience for it being my first time, good people, awesome bartender, very friendly people. Thanks for a great time and good conversation, I will return.“
