“Wish I had stopped by sooner than I did. They've got a nice breezy spot right on the highway, a place to sit down outside, and some big fans to keep you cool. Like concession stand food? Nachos, candy, shaved ice, etc? This is the place for you. They're also SUPER friendly.“

“I don’t even know another place to get gelato in Birmingham, but Cannella seems to have a pretty consistent menu. Haven’t seen too many seasonal flavors, but I’m impressed with how creamy the lemon sorbet is without any dairy it. If you go there and ask how they do it, they might just tell you their secret!“

“Oh. My. Goodness. This has to be the BEST ice cream I have ever had. We were just passing through and decided to have a a treat. Honestly I would drive to Birmingham just for this ice cream. We got the brown butter and it was divine! So many delicious flavors and they change seasonally! Hope to return someday! The gal there was super nice as well.“

“Great ice cream and stellar customer service. Shout out to Jackson. Tried the Almond Rasberry Linzer on a vanilla waffle cone. The ice cream was rich and flavorful. Raspberry added the right amount of tart. Waffle cone was buttery and delicious. Very fresh.“

“Decided to see what all the hype was about for myself. We arrived and joined a line of people all the way outside. Everyone behind the counter was hustling to serve customers and the manager was doing a really good job making sure people were taken care of. Cookies were phenomenal and I didn't expect a chocolate chip cookie to be that good.“

“This was my first time to experience Crumbl cookies. And I have to admit it’s because I heard about them listening to Matt Rife, I downloaded the app and then ordered a six pack for delivery. It was very easy, they were delivered on time, and they are absolutely delicious. I will definitely recommend crumble cookies to my friends and will use this app again. I’m sorry I have no pictures because I ate them too fast!“

“I absolutely love this place. I bring the kids as a treat when we are in town. I have tried probably every cake that they have, and have not been disappointed. My son's enjoyed the oversized shakes and ice-cream. Place was clean, staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and price was comparable to the going price. Highly recommend...Kid-friendliness: The cotton candy pink paint and decor, makes this place the perfect place for little girls day out...“

“Ice cream is DELICIOUS!!! Very nice atmosphere with cute booths and super friendly and welcoming staff. They have a huge variety of ice cream, popsicles and snacks and everyone was so nice and patient in answering all our questions about the different flavors. This is our new favorite ice cream spot!“

“Greeted as soon as we entered, very friendly, & samples are provided if requested. Good amount of options with ice cream types, flavors, toppings, and serving styles. Very generous portions. Ice cream is insanely creamy and one of the best chocolate flavors I've ever had in an ice cream. The interior is an average ice cream shop that is inviting and has plenty of seating. Friend got a strawberry cheesecake that was delish as well. A must try, & a must return often, kind of place.“

“Authentic ruebens and many other delicious sammiches and eats! The best (and only) real deal, fresh made limeades in the city. One of the few remaining true soda fountains / sandwich shops around. Bustling and hustling during the lunchtime feedings. Fun and busy atmosphere for sure. Great folks at Gilchrests too - always the same dedicated, and super friendly staff at the helm. Must be how they have maintained such consistency and earned their loyal patrons!It's been a regular stop for me and my family for at least the past 40 years. We've all been raised together on Gilchrests limeades for multiple generations!! Yumsville indeed.“

“The service here was so great! The employee knew everything about every flavor to a level that a sommelier would about his favorite wine. The flavors were excellent and always, and they have even more vegan options now!Vegetarian options: All of emDietary restrictions: Great w labels and avoiding cross contamination“

“LegenDAIRY! My wife & I dropped by Jeremiah's Italian Ice the other night for a sweet treat. They were having a Leap Back party in celebration of being in business for 28 years. Jeremiah's specializes in Italian ices & gelatis. Jeremiah's offers many fun flavor combos of gelatis. Gelatis are a layering of any flavor of Italian ice & creamy soft ice cream. Their menu features "pre built flavorite combos" such as strawberry shortcake, mud pie, peanut butter cup etc or you can build your own. I opted to build my own featuring cake batter Italian ice layered with vanilla ice cream & cookie butter crumbles. I really enjoyed this gelati! The Italian ice is actually pretty similar in taste & texture as the ice cream. The cookie butter crumbles were the icing on the cake...or the topping on the ice cream *chef's kiss*. For those with any food allergies, worry not, Jeremiah's has you covered! My lactose intolerant love inquired about dairy-free flavors which Jeremiah's does offer. In fact, they have an allergy list menu available upon request. She went with the dairy-free peanut butter Italian ice. Jeremiah's atmosphere is fun. You can tell this is a favorite spot for all ages. This particular location is run by a very nice couple whose staff is super friendly. Warm weather is right around the corner & so is Jeremiah's Vestavia! Be sure to sign up for their rewards program for awesome perks!“

“I absolutely love this place. I remember a couple years ago my siblings forgot what flavor snow cone I wanted so they got me frog in a blender now I get it every time who knew forgetfulness could be delicious. It's not just the snow cones it's also the food. Their pretzels, funnel cakes, and nachos are the only food I've had from there but I loved all of them. I always ask my mom if we can get sno daze after school. The only problem is it takes kinda long sometimes but personally I say it's worth the wait. Yummyyyyy“

“My favorite restaurant over in Crestline! The interior is gorgeous and the staff is incredible. The bar is great and the pizzas are amazing obviously but don't sleep on the appetizers, I always get the baked gulf shrimp whenever I'm in!“

“This place is great. They had 18 serious chocolate based flavors. And of course you can have a taste or two to help you pick. $4 for a single scoop when I was there but that’s the going rate and the quality was great. I posted a picture of the chocolates.“

“Such a crisp and clean space and the friendliest folks you can find!Vegetarian options: All items are vegetarian. Many vegan options too!Dietary restrictions: They have an allergy menu and some prepackaged options that are allergy friendly. The whole shop is nut free!Kid-friendliness: A fun and light-hearted space with coloring sheets and games for kids and families!“

“BBQ sandwiches were really good. Next time I’ll know to ask for extra pickles, since they each only had 1. They were still very tasty, however. My husband was disappointed with the “jumbo” swiss burger. It used to be his favorite but he swears it’s smaller now. (It very well may be the same size it’s always been, as he does tend to be dramatic, but he’s mine and I love him.) I also ordered a BLT (delicious!) and an order of both types of fries and they were great. The BLT had plenty of B, could have used more L, and ample T. (Mayo was on point but it isn’t called a BLTM, so….) Overall, I’m very satisfied and will definitely start eating there more often, again. The staff was wonderful, and the prices aren’t bad, either.Vegetarian options: They have “vegetables”, as in sides, and also salad, but it’s a BBQ joint so….Kid-friendliness: Kids meals are available for ages 10&up.“

“If you are looking for someone with great customer service and great ice cream, this is your person. Mario’s ice cream has provided the best customer service and ice cream that I have ever received. He is great for events and parties. You will not be disappointed.“
