“Love this place!!! Nice and clean with friendly customer service along with a family environment!!! My daughter said pops I want some more!!! ? We will be back!!”
“First time trying, everything was fantastic. They were friendly and the service was excellent. I love being able to see my food prepared most. I will most definitely be back.”
“This was my first time visiting this restaurant and it was so good! I ordered the Pepper Steak w/onions and an egg roll. Tasty, flavorful, filling, lots of meat, and the egg roll was very good also. I will definitely be visiting this place again!”
“Unfortunately a character flaw of captains is extensive wait times in the drive thru today was no exception..food is sometimes hit or miss..today was a good day as far as that goes. The cashier a young guy was very ”
“The owners were very nice. They made sure my order was 100% correct before handing me the bag and wishing me a safe night. The food was hot and seasoned perfectly. This is just what I want when I'm craving wings.”
“Not as bad as the other reviews lead to think very friendly people shure could use an little more extra cleaning up work that’s minimal oh to mention I was there and NO ROACHES CRAWLING AROUND obviously or possibly unhappy Camper z or fired ex employees like I said nothing wrong just a little more cleaning up work needed I wouldn’t have any problems bringing my kids to or military service or church friends to ?”
“I always come to Applebees in this particular location and never had problems with the staff here they’re always see about my needs everytime and the manager on duty have always taken care of ”
“I came here to grab a gift card so I didn't order any food. The staff were really helpful and fun to chat with. I was impressed with how clean the dining area was at this location. This was my first time ever coming here and I was pleased with the overall experience!”
“Take away only at this location, drive through or pick up window. We chose the pick up window. The Krystal burgers are consistant and why we go to Krystal. The fries are excellent, crispy on the outside and tender and fluffy on the inside. The fries are enough to stop in and try.”
“Everything was pretty good my visit except the bone in chicken wasn't much seasoned, and a pair of goons being knuckleheads outside the store as they were passing by. Glad they kept it moving.”
“Wow. Wow. Wow. Blown away. I’m a huge fan of “fine, French cuisine” and this was certainly worth the 90 min drive to get to. Beautiful and simple, yet service and food are well planned and very intentional. Will absolutely be back, this place DID NOT MISS! Would give 6* if I could.”
“Jordan was our server and she was so friendly, very knowledgeable and accommodating. The food was amazing! You can't go wrong with anything you order. Get the dessert! Don't pass it up. It's divine! The Sangria was so tasty and not overly sweet!”
“This is one of our favorite places. Everyone in this restaurant from the waitstaff to the management is personable and express such kindness to each guest. The food is a blend of haute cuisine and comfort classics that leave you satisfied but also excite the palette. In addition this is a gem for vegetarian guests or those with food sensitivities. Treat yourself with this immersive dinning experience right in the heart of Birmingham.”
“I recently went to Helen's and it left me thoroughly impressed and actually was looking forward to writing this review. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted by an amazing staff whose warmth and hospitality set the tone for the evening.One of the standout features of Helen's is its consistency in delivering great food. The steaks, in particular, are among the best I've had in Birmingham, perfectly cooked to my liking and bursting with flavor. I have been here for date night aswell as gathering with a large group, Helen's ambiance and service ensure a memorable dining experience every time.One dish that stole the show for me was the beef ribs, a succulent and tender delight that showcased the kitchen's mastery of meat. The crawfish garganelli, with its flavorful profile complemented by ricotta salata that really tied the dish together for me.The wine selection at Helen's is commendable, with a range of options to suit every palate. They have a very nice whisky and bourbon selection, which if are into that scene, you know how hard it is for a restaurant to keep a consistent whisky and bourbon list due to the ABC, but that is a different story for a different time. I was impressed with staff's knowledge of wine pairings, enhancing the overall dining experience and elevating each dish to new heights.In essence, Helen's is a must-visit for anyone looking to indulge in top-notch cuisine accompanied by exceptional service. Whether you're a steak aficionado or seeking culinary delights beyond the ordinary, Helen Restaurant delivers on all fronts, making it a true culinary gem in Birmingham. The only issue I experienced was I was, too caught up to take pictures of the dishes. Don't sleep on Helens!”
“This was our first time and it was absolutely excellent from start to finish! The manager, Brandon, was SO genuinely welcoming and accommodating. Our server, Parker, was flawless and so much fun (request him!). Every dish was perfectly cooked, refined and full of flavor (smoked salmon, fried green tomatoes, fried oysters, rainbow trout, swordfish with andouille, ribeye with truffle fondue). The cocktails and wine all perfect. Will definitely return and want to thank Blueprint for a truly wonderful experience!”
“I love these people, this place, these pastries, PHEW !!! Cannot sing enough praises for them. Highly recommend everything they offer. The danishes, pain au chocolat, and croissants are my faves. If you can’t get to the bakery early enough in the morning, finding their goods at other local stores n cafes is pretty accessible & always a treat.”
“Great chicken, cooked the way great chicken is supposed to be - fried!The 3-piece 'hot wings' were primo - ?.Drove from Guntersville to experience Hattie B's & it did not disappoint. Will be back . . . . . . . . . . .”
“I was alone in Birmingham and decided to pop in here rather than dine at a hotel restaurant. I'm glad I did. While the bar seating was full, they were kind enough to accommodate me on the heated patio. The food was excellent, so much so that I had to splurge on the Genepy sundae. I will have to come back whenever I am in Birmingham again.”
“We had a great experience with our impromptu work dinner with our party of 15. Our server Thomas P. was very accommodating and worked to help our large group have a wonderful time. The flavors of the food were bold and paired well with the amazing drink menu. We loved the daiquiris and the Will You Be My Hurricane drinks were our favorites. But please don’t miss the Guri Guri - so yummy! Located right in the heart of downtown in a walkable area from neighboring hotels. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Take your tastebuds on a magical journey that will delight and thrill. This is as authentic as it gets for Greek cuisine in Alabama. There is most definitely truth in advertising as everything was indeed tasty. Since I couldn’t decide on what to order I instinctively went for a whole assortment of different flavor profiles. The baked chicken is the tell , if you go to a Greek restaurant and they don’t have a good baked chicken… walk out. This should be a staple on every single Greek menu. Seemingly innocuous but it is the cannery in the coal mine so to speak for what you can expect for the rest of the meal. It outperformed even my high expectations. Served with a grilled lemon to squeeze over the top it was perfectly salted and not over or under cooked. Our sides were the Greek fries (which were crispy in all the right ways, and a punch of saltiness from the cheese) I asked for some taziki sauce for the chicken but dipped my fries on it as well. Honestly I didn’t even dip the chicken in it because it tasted so good on its own I didn’t have to. I also feasted upon the spinach rice and tabouleh and both were opposites on the flavor spectrum one with warm savory spices that melted with the tomatoes and rice and the other bursting with fresh herbs and spring vegetables with Frekkah which is a roasted green wheat that adds such a wonderful texture and pleasant yet slightly nutty flavor. The orzo “Mac and cheese” is no ordinary Mac and cheese side, this Greek version of a classic dish had such an amazing mouth feel with some garlic and herb notes that just elevated it to the next level. And I’m going to end where we started which was with the appetizers. I can never get past the spanakopita (which is heavy on the dill just like I like it) But today I added in the garden humus which had fresh limas and asparagus with an array of herbs with a drizzle of olive oil… and that is just the topping, underneath laid a silky smooth hummus that was not grainy or bitter . The fresh pita sent me over the moon… I was in greek heaven. The chicken pita was like having all the freshness of the salads and the spot on roasted chicken all in one…. So you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. I have yet to try something I absolutely didn’t love . We were so stuffed that we had to get the desserts to go but my god … if you haven’t been here you are missing out on one of the best restaurants Birmingham has to offer. It’s a hidden gem in plain sight.”
“Hey there, cocktail connoisseurs! Let's raise a glass to my recent escapade at Adios, where the libations flowed and the vibes were on point. Starting off with the drinks, the Oaxacan Old Fashioned didn't quite hit the mark for me. Lacking that bold Mezcal punch I was craving, it fell a bit on the lighter side. However, the Mexican Firing Squad was a delightful twist on a classic margarita, hitting all the right notes. And let's not forget the Ranch Water - light, refreshing, and a hit with the wife. As for the experience, it was top-notch. The staff were absolute champs, handling our rowdy group with ease and adding to the overall fun factor of the evening. Ambience-wise, think normal lighting with a light-colored interior, but the real star was the impressive ofrenda that added a touch of authenticity to the space. Now, onto the ending thoughts. Here's the deal - Adios keeps things interesting by rotating out their house cocktails regularly. While it's cool to try new concoctions, it's a bit of a bummer if you find your new favorite and it disappears. Nevertheless, with their stellar cocktails and upbeat atmosphere, I'll definitely be making a return trip. Cheers to that!”
“First of all let say that this is the best corn ever and I have traveled many places.. The welcoming atmosphere and the service was amazing, but the first bite into that corn was crazy I left no kernel behind ?? absolutely delicious and my family and I will be coming back. I 100% ”
“In town visiting and decided to try this place. Glad I did, because from the service, to the food, and atmosphere, it exceeded expectations. Krystal took our orders and although I have no dietary restrictions, my friend was ordering for his wife and was very happy that they were able to accommodate with items being gluten free. Especially on Tuesdays. Will definitely return and visit.Ordered the hot chicken and waffles. You’re able to substitute the wings for tenders. Waffle had flavor by itself and the fresh warm peaches with house made butter complimented each other very well.”
“This is probably(?) the most upscale Italian restaurant in Birmingham.I ordered shrimp risotto as an appetizer, and for mains I ordered basic pasta and New York strip steak. As you can see, the risotto has a small amount of rice and is very salty, but not to the point of being inedible. The pasta and steak were really delicious. I cooked the steak medium and it was just perfect. Although the quantity was a little small, the quality was acceptable.Oh, that's right, the other customers were dressed up in dresses or suits, but I was the only one dressed casually, which was a bit embarrassing. Please refer to this before your visit.”
“Great atmosphere and location. They have a great variety of local beers and a full menu which many breweries in town don’t have. Service is always top notch. Definitely a loca spot and one I love going to. Being close to Railroad Park and Barons field is an added bonus.”
“I love being able to walk to get coffee, and living in Avondale, Punch Love is always my go-to. High-quality and expertly brewed, I have always had a great experience and an even greater latte. With my work schedule, my only critique is I wish hours either opened a few minutes earlier or stayed open later into the afternoon, but c'est la vie.”
“Best ceviche I have ever had - and I’m from a costal state where it’s very popular. The atmosphere was great and our waiter was awesome! I had the Masa Custed Trout - 10 out of 10!! My son had Barbaccoa quesadilla, it was great too! Little one had a bacon quesadilla he ate ALL of it shocking for put 9 yo! Seriously though, go! You won’t regret it!!”
“I had the fish and chips and loved the pork belly appetizer. Great service and atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back to try another dish. The sauces were delicious!”
“We had a great time with customers celebrating the tip off of the bb tourney. The atmosphere was great, food was great, and the service was greater than great. Alana did an awesome job. She was attentive to everything we needed and explained everything very well. She has a great personality and is professional, but also very fun. Also would like to thank Landon for all his help as well as Bryan. We will definitely have more outings here.”
“A friend told me about this restaurant. I was told if I wanted a good lunch I should try this place. So I went in and I looked at The steam table. And I decided I would try them for lunch. I am a little critical of soulful restaurants because I cook pretty good myself. If I must say so. Lol. But nevertheless, I ordered my food, and I was very pleased with my meal. As far as takeout soul food goals, this meal was pretty good. I also have to give credit what credit is due. The cornbread muffins were awesome. I would definitely eat here again, and I have shared my experience with at least eight or nine of my friends already and told them they need to go and try .”
