My wife and I came by here for the first time for dinner. In particular we were mainly interested…read morebecause they sell Pizza By the Slice and it has a good star rating on Google. Well, upon arriving, the pizzas that were out and available for the pizza by the slice option were not appealing to the eye at all. They unfortunately looked like they had been sitting out for hours. Dry and no signs of being fresh whatsoever. Not to mention we spotted multiple flies crawling on the pizzas and the other food out on the "display" area. Because of this, we quickly changed our mind and almost walked out but still decided to give it a chance by ordering a pizza fresh. As far as the customer service goes, the lady who helped us was very kind. Additionally, we were able to order a half and half pizza (Half Margherita and Half Supreme) and we liked having that as an option. The pizza was done and ready to go within about 10 min. We took the pizza as carry out to eat at home. As far as the taste, it was okay. It wasn't bad but it also wasn't great. The flavor was average. I did question the freshness of the ingredients after experiencing how the other pizza and items were displayed by the checkout counter. Overall, unfortunately we did not have a great first impression/experience and therefore we don't see ourselves going back.

I was apprehensive to say the least when my friend chose this restaurant for lunch the other day…read more The grounds are overgrown and messy looking and there's an old broken down order board in the parking lot. Inside was a little better, looking clean but worn. The drink and ice machine was broken, which they apparently did not know until after they took our order. To their credit they found some bottled water and coke in the back and offered to refund our drinks. The food was on display on the counter in a case, but I was concerned because there didn't seem to be any sort of temperature control, just various pizzas, calzones, and more sitting out at room temperature. We chose what we wanted and they heated it up and brought it to the table. I got a Stromboli with sausage and pepperoni, and my friend got a slice of supreme pizza and one of stuffed pizza. The food actually didn't taste bad. My Stromboli was brushed with garlic butter when it was heated up which was nice, but unfortunately it was still cold in the middle. All in all, I won't be back. There are SO MANY great pizza and pasta joints in the area, this one just doesn't stack up.

A joy to visit. Don't miss this hidden gem.

We were greeted promptly and took a few minutes to look at the menu. I LOVE roast beef, so it peaked my interest. My wife chose the Smiley burger. We placed our order and grabbed a seat. Place was quiet even though it was probably 75% full for lunch. Roast beef was served hot in toasted sour dough. Cheddar, tomato, lettuce and horseradish topped the generous portion of roast beef. Bread was crisp and the beef was hot and juicy. Horseradish gave a nice tangy flavor. My wife's Smiley burger was hand patted. Juicy and perfectly cooked. Bun was soft inside and nicely toasted in the outside. Bread and butter pickles, onion, tomato and lettuce topped it off. But the star of the show were the fries cooked in beef tallow!! Hot and salty, crispy and a deep flavor. I would come back just for the fries. Although a little bit pricey for lunch, it was excellent! Staff were friendly and attentive! Would highly recommend and will definitely be back! Thanks for an awesome lunch and excellent experience!

The waitress had to come back and apologize and said they had crab claws if that worked. Guess what?! No crab claws. I mean gezz. At least make sure you have the replacement of the replacement for an item you don't have. Food wise, the bread they give you were rocks. Stale! The calamari was fried to oblivion! The beef ravioli was decent but the Alfredo sauce for the gnocchi was broken. Looked like when you warmed up Alfredo in the microwave.

They also have other fun events including for example, a date night beer event and from what I was told, they occasionally have live bands. The atmosphere was very energetic and enjoyable.

They also have ciders and wine if you're not much of a beer drinker. They also have options if you want to host an event there. Will definitely come back to visit.

They had raspberry lime, pineapple, and peach mango. The pineapple was just okay but I really enjoyed the other two. Since I've been drinking a lot of peach cider lately, I decided to get a glass of the raspberry lime. Really good. They also make their own wine so I had a flight of the blueberry, blackberry, and the peach. My favorite was the peach. Blackberry was very good. The blueberry was my least favorite. They have a food truck every night so that is really nice if you want dinner. I saw they also offer a variety of snacks for the table. They seem to have quite a few events so check the calendar. We chatted a lot with 2 of the staff members, Rachel and Shay. They were super nice. Ambiance is very chill and you can bring your dog on a leash.

One thing worth noting is everything we got had a lot of meat They don't skimp! I will GLADLY pay $3.50 for a loaded down taco! Prices are clearly marked Here's a rundown of what we got: 1. Torta Cubana- filled with alllll the meats and it's A TON of food. Two hungry men could easily share one sandwich. 2. Steak Taco- the best street taco I've had in the Bham area so far. Lots of meat. Yellow corn tortillas, so fresh. Added my own onions/cilantro/hot sauce so I got as much as I like to have (which is a lot) 3. Steak Gorditas- tortilla pocket was perfect. Meat and cheese perfect. I will think of this every day this week and get this again and again forever. 4. Papusas (bean and cheese)- Also perfect. The tortilla was perfectly Mexican style and thin with a little crisp on the outside. How do they get them so thin without tearing? I dream of making papusas like this. Someone's abuela with 50 years of experience must pat these out cause that's the only explanation! They are beautiful! If you are wanting some authentic Mexican food, this is your solution. There's a buffet that looks incredible. I don't even know everything that was on it but it all looked homemade. The market has the best avocados I've seen anywhere and the assortment of dried chiles is impressive. Go for the restaurant, then do your grocery shopping after you eat. Prices are excellent.

Nice atmosphere. There were two small groups already there, and I get the impression it is kind of a hang-out for some high school/young adults. The staff was friendly, and even though we'd indicated we'd had boba tea before, they were great at giving the whole tea spiel. I'd seen lots of colorful teas and fruit and such online, but we were just looking for the standard milk teas, as a good one of those is essential. My daughter got a taro with boba which was going to be my pick, so I quickly chose the Cinnamon Roll from the wall, which is winter melon milk tea, winter melon and cinnamon (syrup) drizzle, and boba. The boba was still warm in the bottom of the cup, which was an interesting first for me. But the boba was generous, and the drizzle gave it a sweetness and flavor that definitely tasted like a cinnamon roll. My daughter said the taro was a little bland, and on sampling I kind of agree that the taro was a bit mild. I did have one issue with my cup. When I went to pick it up, I did so from the bottom and it splorted out the top of the straw; I felt like a kid with a juice box, though I definitely didn't pick it up with any type of Hulkish vice squeeze. I don't know if it was because of the warm boba or just a thinner cup that was softer to touch. Picking it up close to the top of the cup helped. I do like that there is a closer boba tea option than there ever used to be, and while it wasn't my absolute favorite boba tea of all time, it's definitely some place I'll return to try a few more of the traditional milk tea options.
