    Coffee, strawberry mimosa,  Brekkie Bowl, Boozy Bird, fried green tomatoes, Bonuts

    We had the Brekkie Bowl, Boozy Bird, fried green tomatoes and Bonuts every bite was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The customer service was just as impressive. The staff was warm, friendly, and attentive, making us feel truly welcome from the moment we arrived. If you're looking for a great place for brunch, I highly recommend Biscuit Belly. We will definitely be back!

    So it's really a hit or miss these days. I have been to Biscuit Belly 3 times this past year, including today. Only 1 out of 3 times was good, today is not that time. Today everything was cool to lukewarm at best. Food did not taste fresh. Biscuit was dense rather than fluffy....and did the biscuit shrink? It was a sad experience and I could have done better at home. Took my mom again today and she said the same - she remembered it to be good, but it's not good anymore. How unfortunate. I do feel like it has to do with how busy they are.....busier, fresher food, more tasty. The last time I went when I thought the food was yummy, I remember they were busy that day. So food took longer to come out, but that's okay when the food was tasty. As it is, it's hard to want to go back nor would I recommend it. A restaurant I would frequent would be one that I can count on quality food regardless of how busy (or not busy) it is. This is a far cry from the 5-star review I left 2 years ago when Biscuit Belly Hoover first opened!

    We just ate at the cutest place before heading back to Texas. It was clean, the staff was friendly and the food was PHENOMENAL! We need these in Texas!!

    Generous portions. Sausage gravy or mushroom gravy options. Staff is attentive and efficient. Maple mayo sauce (I don't recommend). Bloody Mary was a bit small for $11.00. Chill, open, clean bathrooms.

    Amazing breakfast and sandwiches. My daughters go to is the bacon egg and cheese biscuit with the berry jam. This time around she ordered the yogurt and berry bowl. I ordered the Meet Me in the club sandwich with home fries and a side of fried green tomatoes. The sandwich was very good, the home fries were way over cooked, and the friend green tomatoes......let's just say they were very soggy and way too chewy. Some bites were inedible. It gets busy on Saturdays but the service is very fast.

    Found this place on Yelp and wanted to try it. The line was long; literally out the door, but it moved pretty quickly and the food came out quickly. The sausage gravy was excellent. Lots of sausage crumbles. The biscuits are huge. The fried chicken on The Rockwell was delicious. The bonuts? Yes. Get them. The menu has so many great looking options it was actually tough deciding what to eat, so we went with items marked as "favorites." We were not disappointed. This place is absolutely worth checking out. A line out the door can't be wrong.

    This is an okay breakfast and brunch place in Hoover. I've had better breakfast and brunch food at other establishments. The food seems more simple here so it probably is more kid and family friendly. The bonuts are their specialty. I got them with a side of jam.

    The Rockwell with a side of fruit.

    During our visit to the Birmingham area, two unrelated people raved about Biscuit Belly, so we had to give it a shot! The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating, but with the rain coming down just as we arrived, we chose to sit inside. The space was nice and clean and gave off a welcoming, family-friendly vibe! I ordered the Rockwell along with a side of fruit and a coffee. The chicken was tasty, but I found the biscuit a bit too thick for my liking. On the bright side, the service was fantastic--quick and efficient! Overall, I'd rate this a solid 3.5 experience!

    Checked out Biscuit Belly on a recent trip driving up North from Louisiana after an overnight stay nearby. Woke up with a hunger pang and knew I had to get my fix before hitting the open road. Started working my Google/Yelp fingers and found myself making immediate plans to hit up this spot before my trek resumed. I got myself a bacon, egg, and cheese of course on a biscuit. Everywhere in the world is obviously different but I did think it was a tad bit steep coming in at just under $10 for the sandwich alone, but I tried to keep that from influencing me before I gave it a shot. The woman who helped me was very friendly and the establishment (although I was taking this to go) was very clean and well lit. So the biscuit was fantastic. They make these fresh daily and you could tell. I do understand that with quality comes cost, but I still feel this is overpriced. It was fairly small and aside from the biscuit being a real winner, it was just an egg, some bacon, and a slice of cheese past that. The woman inside did suggest adding honey so I tried that after a few bites and that was a nice addition that I'd never tried before. I'll be trying a little honey on all biscuit sandwiches moving forward. Biscuit Belly definitely Didn't Suck, but I couldn't justify eating here often with those prices.

    Last weekend (2 weeks ago) I finally got to try Biscuit Belly: Hoover. We had been out running earns and shopping and realized we had not eaten breakfast and it was close to lunch and we just so happen to be close by and this place has been on my list anyways. This place is definitely what it says it is. Biscuits everywhere man. If you're a biscuit lover then this is definitely for you! I ordered a Not Chicken and Waffle (I think that's what it was called) and basically it was a split biscuit cooked like French toast and those that know me know French toast is my favorite. I have a tier list it's French toast, waffles, then pancakes for me. Also those that know me know I don't care much for biscuits but these were good especially with the syrup on top. Now the chicken itself was nicely seasoned and I could tell they cooked it fresh. I could also tell they don't marinate their chicken which is fine but it's easily noticeable when chicken isn't marinated because you can taste it's pure white chicken breast. As I said before it was good and crunchy and still seasoned well. I liked it. I give the meal an 8/10. The service was good as well it was very crowded but the way the service was you couldn't tell. Everyone was so nice and very patient. The food came out fairly quickly as well. I was impressed and happy. 10/10 on services. Would I come back here? Absolutely I have a few more things I'd like to try! If you are ever in the Hoover area or live in the Hoover area check this place out!

Because of the intense Alabama heat, we chose to sit inside, though they have a really nice screened-in patio available. The restaurant is intimate but well laid out, featuring a couple of distinct dining areas and a bar. Since it was our first time, our server, Daniella, recommended the candied bacon bombs to start. They came with a side of cheese curds, and both were absolutely delicious. Even as small as the curds were, they had a perfect cheese pull! For our mains, I ordered the cowboy burger with an added egg and a side of sweet potato fries, while my son chose the shrimp and grits. My burger was incredible, a solid 9.5 out of 10. My son rated his shrimp and grits a 7, though he has a lot of experience with that dish to compare it to. Daniella provided fantastic service, checking in at just the right times without hovering. I later realized I forgot to ask if they do anything special for birthdays, but honestly, my son was probably glad I forgot!

You walk in and the aroma of smoking meat surrounds you. The open kitchen with the BBQ pit in the back is surrounded by booths and tables, creating a warm and casual setting that is perfect for a family meal. The staff were universally friendly, not just our waitress but all the other servers and kitchen staff. They greeted us all with smiles and interacted kindly with my baby and toddler. The food was hearty and homey, with generous portions. We enjoyed a burger, pulled pork sandwiches, a corn dog, fries, baked beans, and a fried peach pie with vanilla ice cream. The burger was cooked fresh and perfectly grilled. The pulled pork was smoky and tender, but the sauce was a little more vinegary than I prefer. The fries were perfectly crisp and golden. My kiddo gave a huge thumbs up for his corn dog and the beans were a hit with the baby. The peach pie tasted like something my grandma would have made, warm and sweet and comforting. And if you like sweet tea so sweet you get cavities just looking at it, Archie's is the place for you (I had to do half and half myself).

Because when I walked in and asked the very nice guy at the register what their best item was, he didn't hesitate for even half a second. "Fried chicken club sandwich. Hands down." Not "one of our burgers." Not "depends what you like." Nope. Immediate confidence. The kind of confidence that makes you trust a stranger with your financial future. So naturally I ordered exactly that. He even doubled down and told me it was the best sandwich he's ever had. Ever. That's a dangerous level of hype to put on a chicken sandwich. At that point I wasn't ordering lunch anymore. I was preparing for a spiritual experience. I got the sweet potato fries on the side and sat there waiting like a kid staring at the oven on Christmas morning. Then the sandwich arrived. And honestly? Visually, this thing deserved its own entrance music. Beautiful sandwich. Crispy golden chicken, stacked perfectly, looked like it had been assembled by a food stylist with relationship issues. I took the first bite and immediately realized what was wrong. Flavor had called in sick. The chicken itself was cooked perfectly. Great crunch. Juicy inside. Beautiful breading. But somehow nobody introduced it to salt, pepper, seasoning, spices, or joy. It tasted like the kitchen spent all their energy making it look incredible and forgot the whole "taste" portion of the assignment. My colleague ordered the exact same thing and had the exact same reaction, which honestly made me feel better because for a second I thought COVID had made a surprise comeback. The sandwich was one shake of Cajun seasoning away from greatness. The sweet potato fries were solid flavor-wise, but a little limp. Not tragic. Just lacking that crispness that makes you keep stealing fries after you're already full. This place feels like a really good concept that just needs somebody in the kitchen to become emotionally invested in seasoning. Three stars feels fair. Nothing was bad. Nothing offended me. It was just aggressively average after being introduced with Super Bowl-level hype. I'd come back, but next time I'm ordering an actual burger at the place called Baja Burger. Feels like that's probably the safer bet.

Highly recommend especially if you want to try a little of everything. Of course, we had to get dessert. I had to try the baklava cheesecake since that seemed to be popular. Hubby got the chocolate almond pie. Hubby's was really really good. Mine was interesting for sure. Hubby tried it and said it tasted like pumpkin and he was right! Normally I love pumpkin but I didn't love this. It was okay. I just wouldn't get it again. Service was great. Lots of people coming around refilling drinks, bringing food, taking away plates, etc. we will be back for sure!

    I ordered the BLT Salad with applewood-smoked bacon and tomatoes, but instead of the roasted garlic…read moreranch dressing, I get mine tossed in balsamic. It was delicious, and of course, I made a happy plate! They also provide bread while you wait for your food, and they'll bring you more upon request--a nice touch! My friend got the Fish Tacos with cabbage, charred corn salsa, and spicy sriracha sour cream, along with a side of fried spinach from their secret menu. The secret menu consists of about five items that are no longer on the regular menu, but they'll still prepare them if you ask. She said the fish was perfectly charred around the edges and absolutely delicious. Just make sure you check your teeth after eating the spinach! Our server, Kayleigh, did a great job taking care of us and made the experience even better. And congratulations to her--she graduates from cosmetology school next month! ‍ Wishing her all the best in her next chapter! Two great meals, great service, and another good experience!

    Consistent 5-Star Excellence! Outstanding Food, Massive Portions, and Great Value…read more ​Every single time we visit this spot, they absolutely knock it out of the park. If you want a flawlessly executed steakhouse dinner in the Birmingham area without the pretentious price tag, this is your place. ​I ordered the 12oz ribeye with a baked potato, and both were cooked exactly to order. My wife started with their huge, fresh house salad before tackling the massive 16oz ribeye and a fully loaded baked potato. Honestly, the 16oz cut looked like something straight out of The Flintstones--it was beautifully charred, incredibly juicy, and absolutely massive. ​The service matched the stellar quality of the kitchen. Our waitress was incredibly attentive and kept my sweet tea topped off the entire night (which is no easy task!). ​We wrapped up the evening with a slice of chocolate cake. It was literally the size of a diner-style napkin dispenser--decadent, moist, and downright delicious. ​Budget-wise, it's a high-end steakhouse experience, so expect to spend a little money. However, compared to other premium steakhouses around Birmingham, their pricing is incredibly fair and easily on the lower end of the fine-dining spectrum. You get amazing portions, top-tier quality, and fantastic service. Highly recommended!

    This was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish! The fried green tomatoes were a…read moreclear favorite... perfectly crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with flavor. I hate tomatoes. But theeeeeeeese? OMG. I also had the smokehouse burger, and it was hands-down one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. Everything tasted fresh and was cooked just right. What really stood out beyond the food was the overall experience. The staff was incredibly nice, welcoming, and attentive without being overbearing, which made us feel right at home. The restaurant itself was clean and comfortable, and even the bathrooms were spotless, which always says a lot about a place. It also hasn't been very busy the times we've gone, which made for a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. Even so, the food came out quickly and was still hot and fresh, which is the best of both worlds. We actually loved it so much that we went back again just a couple of days later, and it was just as good the second time around. If you're looking for great Southern food, friendly service, and a laid-back dining experience, Dale's Southern Grill is definitely worth a visit. The ONLY thing I didn't like was the kids' chicken finger meal. I tried one of the chicken fingers when biting it to give to my toddler, and it wasn't good. The taste was weird and it was gummy. I ended up not giving her them.

    I don't get by here as often as I would like but the food is always excellent. Small town feel,…read moredelicious comfort favorites like fried green tomatoes and shrimp & grits. If you consider yourself a connoisseur of southern foods, you will love it!

We ordered at the counter and our food didn't take long to arrive at our table for a party of 6. I had the old Smokey / no mayo and it was a well made sandwich. Nice flavor. I was looking forward to trying this sandwich , since I didn't get to try it during the Birmingham Restaurant Week preview party. I really enjoyed the beer battered fries as well. Others in my party had chicken finger plate, Cuban melt, chicken Parmesan melt and chicken salad melt. Everyone enjoyed their selections and had leftovers! I chatted with I'm assuming the manager and he was very nice. We enjoyed our recent experience here at Melt. The service , food and environment all made me want to come back soon.

I purchased the Chef Salad . Looks amazing and can't wait to dig in. I have visited this place in the past . I remember having the salad and they did not disappoint. It's enough for 2 people to enjoy. They have indoor and outdoor spaces for eating. They have a casual dining menu and offer spirits. Come check this place out if you are in the neighborhood.
