“One of the very best restaurants in the Southeast. From the tomato pie to the incredible steaks - everything is excellent. Don’t tell your grandmother, but their seasonal vegetables are better than hers. And their angel biscuits will change the way you think about life. If you haven’t been here, you’re missing out.“
“It was our last day in Birmingham and we wanted something good to eat after leaving church. After performing a brunch search on Yelp I stumbled across Biscuit Belly - Hoover and the food pictures alone had me excited to try it out. Finding the location was super simple as it sits in the plaza. As it sits in the plaza there is ample parking which makes it an even better option. Upon walking in, the space is very vibrant and visually appealing. The Biscuit Belly themed artwork is very eye-catching and adds a boutique design feel to the space. The establishment was very clean and they made great use of the space which allows for ample seating. Once you walk in, you grab a menu off the wall and head to the register to place your order. Once your order is placed, if you are choosing to dine-in, you take your number and head to your table. Super quick process with the customer in mind as it allows for the best use of time as it pertains to the overall flow of the order taking. The young man who took my order at the register was very nice. He welcomed me to Biscuit Belly - Hoover with a huge smile and as it was my first time ever, he was patient and offered me some insight into the menu options and helped me make my order selection. Super kudos as I didn’t feel rushed or as if I was being a bother. He allowed my excitement to be excitement as he aided me in my choices. After speaking with him I decided to get, The Boozy Bird - Buttermilk fried chicken breast served with bourbon maple syrup and Praline Mocha - Mocha with caramel, whipped cream and topped with pralines One Word… ASTONISHING!!! The Boozy Bird had the best Buttermilk Fried Breast known to man. The breast was moist on the inside and crunchy on the outside. The seasoning blend was perfect for the breast and paired well with the coating. Though the chicken was amazing, the Biscuit stole the show. Hear me when I say, the biscuit is a well crafted, southern delicacy that is warm in the middle with a slight crunch on the outside. With the breast in the center the biscuit absorbs the seasoning from the coating and forms a perfect marriage of goodness. Though the marriage is great, the biscuit has the ability to stand on its own and satisfy your soul. Now… even if you don’t like sweet chicken, the Bourbon Maple Syrup brings a level of appreciation to the sandwich. It’s not too sweet, but has just enough sweetness to put you in the mindset of an elegant honey butter blend. Oh my gosh… this biscuit was awesome. The Praline Mocha is like nothing I’ve ever had before. Allow me to paint you a picture. Imagine if Homemade Pralines were layered on top of a caramel ice cream, blended together with a sprinkle of love and care then poured into a cup with whipped cream added to the top. Yep! It’s just like that. Furthermore, the crumbles of Praline on top of the whipped cream add a texture layer to the drink that elevates its goodness as it adds an extra hint of almonds and caramelized sugar to the flavor of the sip that captures the pieces. This is something I need in my life that I didn’t know existed until today. As my family and I enjoyed everything that was on the table before us, the experience was taken to higher heights with the service that was provided. A gentleman was walking around checking on the tables. Come to find out his name is Andrew and he is one of the owners. What makes Andrew so incredible is not only was he walking around to ensure the cleanliness of the restaurant but he was cleaning and engaging with the guests as well. He was very welcoming and inviting. We discussed the items that we all ordered and expressed our appreciation for the chef and those involved with making the food AWESOME. After Andrew shared pleasantries with us he got back to work. To my added pleasure, Andrew came back around on his next walk through and introduced us to Rachel and I love herrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. LoL! Rachel is the other owner and was so down to earth and pleasant. She took time to allow us to express our gratitude for the care put into the food. Along with th“

May God continue to Bless your business“
“The prices are on the higher end (check online), but the food justifies it. And I'm NOT a big spender. Everyone's food came perfect and we were all filled by the end of the meal. Here's what we had that we loved: steak, salmon, crab claws (fried), fried chicken, grilled chicken, gumbo, and a peach old fashioned. Our waitress (whos name I have sadly forgotten but I wanna say her name is Christy) was fantastic. I wasn't a believer until I went there. If you're on the fence, just go at least once.Dietary restrictions: Celiac friendly for us. Talk to your waiter and they'll tell you what is safe and what's not. If they don't know, they'll find someone who does know!“
“Have been going to this place for so many years. Don't get to go as much as would like but I really enjoy the chicken and dressing , macaroni & cheese, and the green beans. Most of the time the rolls. Unfortunately last time they were hard. My dad got the veggie plate and really liked all his options as well.“
“We ate dinner there. I had the meatloaf sandwich and my wife had a shrimp poboy. Both were good.We bought a whole pound cake to take home. At first it seemed dry and stale. After a couple of days it's much more moist and flavorful. Go figure.“
“Working in Birmingham, AL for an extended period of time and Jim 'N' Nick's was right up the street from both my hotel and my work site so we stopped in for lunch one time. Listen, I enjoyed myself SO MUCH that I returned 2 more times for dinner! Here's why!Atmosphere/Appearance: This place is huge and has a fairly large footprint for being in a downtown setting. No private parking, but there's plenty of street parking. Once inside you're greeted by a wide-open dining room and a big center bar with seating on 3 sides. There are dining booths on both sides and plenty of standard tables. If you walk on the left side of the bar and head toward the back you'll see the to-go section where you can walk right up to the counter and order your food to roll out with.Service: I can't remember the name of our servers, but we sat at the bar each time and everyone was wonderful. As a collective they were funny, sweet, likeable and personable.Food: Like I mentioned, the first time we came, it was for lunch. Then they dropped those complimentary cheesy muffins in front of us, I was befuddled, beside myself and just bewildered. They were AMAZING. I could've eaten JUST THOSE for lunch and been so happy. However, for lunch I wanted something light and went with their Chopped Southern Salad which consists of smoked chicken, smoked onions, sweet corn, cheddar cheese, bacon, cucumber, tomatoes, almonds and homemade croutons then tossed in house-made vinaigrette. It was delightfully fresh, yet filling and savory. I loved it. However, I saw they had smoked wings so on my next visit I came in for those... I was able to try 2 flavors, their Buffalo and Morgan Co. White Sauce (also knows as Alabama BBQ sauce). They were DELIGHTFUL. This may have been the first time I was able to try an Alabama BBQ sauce and I really liked it's savory-ness. It's a mayonnaise-based sauce which gives it its white color and rounded flavor. The Buffalo was thick and hearty, better than a watery traditional Buffalo sauce. On my 3rd visit I tried out their Combo Plate. On it was their smoked turkey, fried catfish and beef brisket. On the side was a salad and a lil' cup of mac & cheese. The food was so delicious it really made me think this place was like a one-off. Much to my surprise there are Jim 'N' Nick's BBQ places ALL OVER THE SOUTH! Nice job guys.Value: It's a BBQ place and usually they aren't cheap. I feel like $30.00 is enough to come here and pig out with!In conclusion, I loved it here... That's why I hit this place up 3 times. Lol. I will certainly pay this place a return visit or check out another one if I'm in the area!“
“Fantastic meat and three. I had Greek Chicken (full of flavor), turnip greens (not fresh but tasty), Cajun (?) Beans (very flavorful), and butter beans. My friend had fried shrimp and a salad. The staff was welcoming, warm and efficient. The quality, for what it is, was impressive, and the potions were substantial. I couldn’t finish.“
“We were looking for an authentic Alabama lunch experience and found it with Ted’s. We arrived towards the end of the lunch service and found them friendly and welcoming upon entering the space. Free, ample parking, available seating and staff smiles helped us feel at home from the moment we entered. The vegetables were my favorite and immediately took me back to my great aunt’s cooking. Prices were very reasonable. Highly recommend.“
“I was in Birmingham this week and was walking around looking for some sort of local place to eat at and came across this place, Crafts. I checked the reviews and to be honest they were mixed. I was feeling like some fried chicken and since I was in the south I thought I'll try to this place. This place is sort of off the beaten path along with some other restaurants. The store front looked nice. I was suprised by how big the inside was. I walked in and this place was huge. Maybe 30 tables? There were a lot and unfortunately it was pretty empty but the place was clean! Maybe I came in an off time. The menu had all sort of stuff on it from salads to sandwiches to fried chicken and chicken tenders and so on. It was a good selection. The person taking the order was extremely nice and patient. I couldn't decide if I wanted the traditional fried chicken or the tenders. I picked the tenders with fries and a sweet tea. They gave me a number and I sat down. It took probably 10 min to get my food which meant they were actually cooking it fresh. My food came and it was a lot of food. I ordered the 6 piece tender and I should have got the 4 piece. These were thick hand breaded tenders. The coating was crispy, and it was very well seasoned. These were not bland at all. The fries now were awesome and something I never had before. These were almost like potato wedges but were spiral. They were thick, with a lot of surface area on them so they got very crispy on the outside but really tender on the inside. It was amazing. To top it all off as well the person taking my order gave me 10% off because it was my 1st time there. Which was nice. Overall this place is a go again. The food was good, the wait staff was amazing and nice, and the restaurant itself was clean.“
“This is a MUST GO!!! My first visit at this restaurant and I have completely bought in! First, we were received with a pleasant greeting and immediately seated. Upon being seated our drink order was quickly taken and brought to our table. Our order was taken a few minutes after drinks were served...where does this happen these day?! The menu was filled with delicious southern cuisine. I ordered the vegetarian meal...it was great! This is such a great place for families and also good for a hangout spot. Good bar and tvs for watching sports. I was so pleased with the food, so I ordered our Christmas dinner with them. All the food was a hit! I will definitely go back.“
“Absolutely awesome. Came to do a repair on the owner’s car, and we decided to get food when we went in to talk to her. I got the fried pork chop plate with corn nuggets and mashed potatoes. Everything was made fresh, and steaming when she set the plates on our table! The fried pork chop was honestly the best I’ve ever ate, and the sides were delicious. I washed it down with a very reasonable $2 large cup of sweet tea, (with refills) and was full to bursting when I left. 10/10 would recommend.“
“I had a birthday dinner there and the vibe was very inviting. This was me and my guests first time ever dining in this establishment. The customer service was excellent, the food was delicious, the drinks were top notch. If you're ever in Hoover, AL. You must check them out! Thank you for making my birthday a success! Kayla E. Thank you for your great customer service!“
“Operated and ran by the owner herself! Real Ingredients! No shortcuts. BRE opens early for our monthly meeting. She makes Kingboyz Breakfast! I love this place and the owner. Good people!!!! I highly recommend you stop here!!Marcus KingKingboyz towing“
“It was our first time for our anniversary. The atmosphere was very nice. The service was the best service I’ve ever had at a restaurant the food was very unique and excellent. We will be making this a tradition to come here for our anniversary from here on out“
“The service is always hit or miss length wise but this go around it was just fine. We had a pretty big party and they did everything efficiently. We went Friday during the day and it wasn't crowded. The drinks were 10/10, my entire family loved them. I had the pineapple smash and it was so tasty. We always get the hot LP catfish with Cajun ranch fries for our entree. I will have to say the hot LP wings were my fav. This time it seemed a little too salty but everyone else throughly enjoyed it. I Will always hit this place up for good vibes and food.“
