Restaurants in Homewood

“The friendly staff and atmosphere! Autumn waited on us this morning! She was amazing! We enjoyed our visit.”

“Great food and atmosphere ! And the Ashley Mac Burger (only served on Friday and Saturday) is well worth the wait !”

“Loved the food and atmosphere here! The service was great, and our server Getsy went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Other than some creepy looks from a few of the male chefs, we had a perfect experience.”

“This past Saturday, I treated myself to a me date a day dedicated entirely to myself. After indulging in a relaxing one-hour massage, I found myself absolutely starving. Wanting to try something new, I continued my exploration of Homewood’s restaurant scene and landed on The Battery. I met my aunt there for lunch, and as soon as we arrived, I knew we were in for a treat. The place was packed inside and out which is usually a great sign. After about a 15 minute wait, we were seated. The interior had a modern, inviting atmosphere, and the service was excellent. Our waiter was incredibly kind, answered all of my questions, and I never once had to ask for a refill. Despite the restaurant being full, the service was impressively quick, and every dish arrived hot. Appetizers Buffalo Wings – The wings were well-sauced and smoked to perfection, with the meat falling off the bone effortlessly. However, the biggest letdown was the lack of seasoning. While the smoky flavor was great, the wings themselves needed more depth. 7.9/10 (With proper seasoning, this would easily be in the high 8s or even a 9). Queso & Chips – The chips were fresh, crunchy, and unseasoned but still did the job. The queso had potential, but it lacked the bold flavors needed to truly stand out. It wasn’t bad, but it could have been much better. 6/10 Entrées & Sides Wedge Salad – The salad itself was solid, but the bacon was a miss. It had an overpowering liquid smoke taste, leaving a strange aftertaste and smell. 7/10 Fries – These were outstanding hot, crispy, and well-seasoned. I also appreciated the variety of cuts and shapes. 8.5/10 Smash Burger – A well-executed smash burger with that signature crispy edge and juicy interior. However, the meat itself wasn’t seasoned, which held it back from being exceptional. 8/10 Final Thoughts Overall, The Battery was a great experience, and I’d happily return. The biggest downside was the lack of seasoning across multiple dishes. If they improved that, their food would easily score even higher. That said, I still highly recommend trying this place. Final Rating: 8/10 Service: 10/10 – Absolutely fantastic staff! Would I go back? Without a doubt.”

“Great staff and delicious healthy food! I’m a regular here and I’m always satisfied with the service!”

“One the top 5 restaurants in the city, best fries fosho, and great selection of things to eat, very consistent with food quality which is arguably their best part of the place. 10/10”

“Love the chicken pot pie, it is delicious and the big rolls like I used to get in our schools lunch, delicious.”

“Originally ordered online via Storefront Doordash but restaurant showed it had canceled once I arrived. They made my order. After a little wait because of all the customizations, they served and I was able to go. Food was really good and a decent portion. Great price point and will be back.

Vegetarian options: Items can be customized to make vegetarian

Kid-friendliness: Kids menu is available”

“GREAT food. At 50 yrs old I have eaten a lot of Mexican food and this place is stellar.”

“Ok so my husband and I came here for brunch and without reservations. The amazing host let us know that we can sit at the bar and WOW. What’s going on?! Just the 2 most amazing bartenders Jacey and Devon with awesome service. Our drinks stayed full with the help of Rodger. And Aris the manager was so awesome. The menu is RAD and the portions are big. Definitely will be back.”

“Everything on the menu is first class.. great waitresses and music”

“Perfect food and staff was nice”

“The absolute sweetest customer service, best atmosphere, and delicious food! 10/10 recommend! 💚”

“I’ve been eating here for over 30yrs they were at a different location (take out only) up the street. The food has always been great. I have never had a bad meal from them. They are a Birmingham staple. Those who know, know. I drive from McCalla for my take away now. We drove from Hueytown when I was a kid, bypassing many similar cuisine restaurants. I know Chop Suey will be delicious and correct every time.”

“The Creamy Chicken & Tasso Pasta is so delicious! I definitely recommend picking up this dish. I’m so satisfied with my purchase. I will definitely pick up more meals throughout the week!”

“The bestie & I bundled up to c Santa. It was very nice.”

“The coffee and atmosphere is amazing. I could tell they were understaffed when I came, yet both of the staff members were the sweetest and kept apologizing for the wait on our açaí bowl. I got an iced oat milk latte with cinnamon and honey (The Roosevelt) and it was one of the best lattes I have ever had!!!!! However, our bowl we received was not very good. The base was completely frozen and we could not get through it. Additionally, the bananas were so unripe that they were crunchy and had no flavor to them. This has nothing to do with the staff working as they were both so sweet and kind and made sure me and my girlfriend were taken care of, but I feel as though the açaí bowl should have been better due to the price. I adore this location and the coffee, but I would probably not try any açaí bowls from them again.”

“Great customer service, and the ice cream is fantastic. I definitely would recommend!”

“Fantastic food! I had the basil pork and it was wonderful. The old fashioned with the smoked orange was also the bomb. The owner ( I think it was the owner--it was very loud and I couldn't hear him, but he appeared at our table of six at least twice) was super attentive and has a kind demeanor. I will be back.”

“I liked the Mayan coffee and the stoic service. I don't know what happened to my hearing that day but I had the hardest time understanding the barista. She took it in stride and after my third fumble she started speaking with an accentuation that bordered on the theatrical and a smile that showed more empathy than frustration or sarcasm. I guess a white beard comes with benefits.”

“I love it and great customer service and the pizza is awesome”

“Josh Moore provided me with a fist bump after my order that created a friendly environment from the jump. Additionally, he turned down the air when it was pointed out that it was quite cold in the restaurant. Employee of the year”

“Pulled pork plate with white bbq sauce was outstanding”

“The food is always fresh and very good. It's a meat and two, or three, or a veggie plate. They usually have about 4 meats to choose from and 5-6 veggie. They have 4-5 dessert. Everything is good.”

“Friendly service and delicious food & bev :) I had a pimento cheese & sausage biscuit + a white chocolate & caramel latte ... PERFECT for Saturday morning errands!”

“Terrific Sunday brunch spot! Small plates with a set price so we tried several things on the menu. All were delicious. Sat outside on a beautiful day and service was spot on. Thank you!”

“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!!”

“Nice place to get lunch. Good sushi, great prices. The miso soup is good. Staff is always pleasant.”

“We are so happy we found this hidden gem, the food, service and outdoor dining is so amazing. Everything homemade and fresh. The owner and staff are so friendly..you come in as a customer but leave as a friend.”

“My son ordered the thin crust, pepperoni with meatballs from the Lee Branch location and said it was the best pizza he has had in forever. It was delivered hot and fresh. Thank you for making Monday night dinner so good!”

“The staff made me feel at home, food was perfect as always. I love their breakfast and they are one of the few places on green springs where you can get honey! Everyone was super sweet.

Parking: Easy to get in and out of. Loads of spaces. Easy to get very large utility vehicles in and out of

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramps and handicap parking”

“Friendly staff, amazing food and atmosphere. Quick and attentive as well. The first time I’ve ever eaten there and it reminded me so much of Peru! I will try to come back whenever I’m back in Birmingham!”

“Amazing flavor! Thought I was just getting short rib takeout. Didn't expect incredible. Tried just one bite in the car before heading home, and ate the whole thing still sitting there! Who knew? I'll be back!”

“Very nice hotel !!the staff was very nice and professional”

“Late night treat. Great choice of flavors. Service was awesome and provided samples of different flavors. Sugar to waffle cones and good size portions. Thank you!

Parking: Late night had no problems finding parking

Kid-friendliness: Service was wonderful and patient with four kids and for adults.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor accessible.”

“Awesome place with great people”

“I’m way behind in offering a recommendation for the Homewood location of Maya. Between there and the Alabaster location, my Mexican food cravings are more than covered and they are always patient with my substitutions and the like. Service is top-notch and the food is excellent. Highly recommended!”

“Okay as someone who LOVES acai bowls and have had them at multiple different places in different cities, I must admit that Farm Bowl and Juice Company has the best and cutest açaí bowls I've ever had! I've been twice so far since the opening and it taste amazing, I wish I could afford to eat it every single day! I love the atmosphere as well. I normally go to other juice bars and açaí places in Tuscaloosa, but Farm Bowls is so much closer to my home. So between it being close to home, the best açaí bowls ever, friendly staff, and a great atmosphere, I am SOLD!”

“Absolutely positively the BEST staff & customer service, they are like the chick-fil-a of loaded teas! I stop by every morning on my way to work & I call before I get there & they have it waiting on me! Can’t recommend them enough! ❤️❤️❤️”

“A real bar with real people. Not quite "Cheers" but plenty of regulars that create a kind of family atmosphere. Drinks are stiff and affordable, the jukebox holds a lot of classics, the decorations are quirky, and guests as well as staff are welcoming and friendly. Not ADA compliment and no one under the age of 21 is admitted.The bar is a little too simple, too worn, and too divy to deserve a 5 star rating but that doesn't mean that you cannot have a 6 star experience at this place”

“Visiting Birmingham for the weekend and have been to your Homewood location 2 days now. What’s difference a day makes. On Saturday the girl behind the counter was as sweet as she could be and very helpful. The girl today however was very rude, and acting like it was a bother to wait on me. Maybe a different profession would be wise for her. The coffee and food is amazing though”

“The food and service is always top notch, and today was no exception. I always look forward to coming here”

“The Crunch (Ahi Tuna) Bowls and Fries and service!!”

“Cuando voy a Homewood, siempre paso por Tortas Locas. Hay gran variedad de platillos, pero me encantan los alambres combinados y las fajitas de pollo. Ven y lo compruebas.”

“We have gone to Freddy’s many times and always had an amazing experience! The service is always amazing, the wine plentiful, and the food delicious and consistent. We had a party for my husband’s birthday this past weekend and were so impressed by the execution of service. If you want to be truly taken care of, come to Freddy’s!”

“Had great experience. Friendly staff and yummy food with specialty coffee drinks.”

“Cozy coffee shop in the heart of Homewood. Excellent customer service and atmosphere.”

“I am a huge O'Henry's Fan! As a local Realtor, I am often in need of a place to pop in and grab a quick coffee date with a client or grab a table to sit and knock out a few tasks before getting back on the road. O'Henry's has been my go to for years now, and the many locations are an added bonus. The coffee and muffins are great! Try one of their seasonal blends (hot or iced) and you might be surprised at how good it is.”

“Located in the Edge. Walk Up burger spot. Pretty good burger spot! The food was fresh and hot. The french fries were seasoned and hot! The kiddos enjoyed the burgers. I wish the kids menu had a kids burger on it. Scenery is pretty cool. Located on between Cookie Plug and Shin Ramen.

Parking: Park in the front of a coffee/pop place and walk thru to the Burger spot”

“KShena experience is hands down the best. The owners are very thorough in communicating with the customer and making sure your experience is one to remember. The food was well cooked and seasoned. oh, let me not forget to mention K'Shena cleans up afterwards! What an amazing group of beautiful people ❤️.”

“A great awesome "hidden" gem for travelers visiting doctors in the Birmingham area. I loved my visit here. Staff, atmosphere and food were all top notch. Food cooked to order, fresh, hot and tasty!! Greatly appreciated. ❤️

Dietary restrictions: Cooked to order. I came during a slower period. They asked questions about how I liked my food cooked. Great attention to detail.

Parking: Go into south east door and then interior door on your left.

Kid-friendliness: Appears to be kid friendly.
Several tables, a TV, and food selections kids will enjoy.

Wheelchair accessibility: The building itself has wheelchair accessibility at other doors.”

“Went here last weekend and pizza was just as good since the last time! Great Customer Service, Great Atmosphere and Great Pizza!! Will definitely stop by again next time we're in Homewood!!”

“Just wanted to check it out- totally cool concept for this neighborhood and a very cool gathering spot if you have a small group or kids- Bham Burger was great! Best bologna I’ve had in a minute. The cookie plug? $5 for a cookie- a regular cookie. Could buy mini cookies at $1 each but it’s a quarter size cookie! Sooo not sure how much demand for expensive cookies but the other spots are promising with great menus and we’ll be back…”

“De vez en cuando es bueno probar otra sazón, por eso fuimos a La Sabrosita y quedamos encantados con los platillos que venden ahí. Una delicia y excelente atención.”

“This staff is incredibly kind and helpful. I think it makea the food taste even better... Meltaways forever 😁

Kid-friendliness: I've taken the kids there but I really like this place for myself... 🙃”

“El Sazón de Don Tacho es único y delicioso. 100% Recomendado! Las Cucarachas, La Margarita De Fresa, La Hamburguesa Mexican y El Esquite!”

“I have been eating here for the last four years whenever I come to the Alabama area. This restaurant, and their sister restaurants in Hoover and Montgomery, make incredible Salted Crispy Shrimp and Salted Crispy Chicken, among the best in the country. The prices are very reasionable and the staff are wonderful. Try one of these Salted Crispy dishes and you will come back again and again !”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing food…Al Pastor tacos are 🔥”

“One of the best places in Birmingham , for atmosphere and food !! Amazing place , makes you feel as if you've traveled abroad ❤️??”

“The food was so good and especially the mimosa I had sticky maple biscuit with berry fields mimosa I must say I was not disappointed must try

Kid-friendliness: Alcohol is served so it's parents choice”

“I mean... it's a chinese buffet. The food is good. They keep it fresh. It's everything you want from a good buffet, and nothing extra. As long as you go in understanding what it is, you'll have a good experience.”

“My daughter was super hungry and getting cranky because she was tired. We decided to run in Otey's Tavern to grab something. I wasn't sure what to expect, I didn't search reviews before going like I usually do. Not only was the club salad HUGE, it was SO GOOD. The bacon was nice and crispy, the lettuce, tomato 🥰 and cucumber were fresh and the turkey/ham were shredded which I love!!! She had her heart set on fruit for her side. When we found out they didn't have it right now (which isn't their fault, it's a seasonal thing) she had big feelings that the whole restaurant heard. Brian, a bartender who has just gotten off work and was eating before leaving heard Audrey crying. GUYS. HE WENT TO ANOTHER RESTAURANT AND GOT HER SOME FRUIT. IT WAS SO SO SWEET!!!!! I had no clue he was doing it but he let our waitress know and brought it to the table. It was so kind. Such a sweet thing to do. I just had to let everyone know about how great the food AND people were there!!! The waitress (I'm so sorry I didn't ask her name) was also super sweet and accommodating!! 🥰 Go eat there and don't forget to tip!!!”

“Delicious sandwiches & good service! ❤️❤️❤️”

“Amazing food . Great staff!!”
