Once again, this is my first of two go-to spots when I want to dine locally. (The 2nd is La Paz)…read moreEverything I've had on the menu is delicious. Service is great. That ambience is casual. I'll often pick up a pie to take home but when I'm dining in, I get something special and every time I do, it's delicious. Timing tip: don't wait too late in the evening to go there! Their building has tenants above them so they have to close at 9:00 PM

Finally made it to the Front Porch. We heard fabulous things about this place, so thought we would…read morecheck it out. Had an enjoyable dinner on the patio. It was nice and not too loud. Our waiter was great and had lots of suggestions. We ended up with the blackened chicken pasta and pimento cheeseburger. The burger was cooked to perfection and tasty. The bun itself was a little thinner than what I am used to but still good. The pimento cheese was not my favorite, as it seemed to lack something. The sweet potato fries with caramel sauce were delicious and great accompaniment to any burger. The pasta was just your average dish. They did have a nice cocktail menu... Ended up with a blueberry lemon drop martini and absolutely delicious. Will we be back? Yes... There are some other things we would like to try.

This is great. Bae got his usual Meat and 3 go to, baked chicken. Today he paired it with mashed potatoes, fried corn, cabbage and cornbread. Decent. I got the meatloaf with cabbage, mash potatoes, carrots and cornbread. Everything is good. The atmosphere is pleasant and clean. I like it. The line service is truly the stand out. These are some nice folks, with a lot of southern hospitality. I love that. So, Y'ALL already know, I'll be back.

The not good: the service. We had 2 servers on a Sunday afternoon. The first was very good. The second was non existent. The manager had to come take our orders and refill water. The menu has limited vegetarian options - extremely limited. I got the quesadilla and asked them to hold the meat. But it was insanely filled with cheese like to the point I thought I was going to choke on a blob of cheese. Just not a place to come if you're hungry and don't eat meat. I'd come back for a beer and to watch a game. But I wouldn't plan to eat here. A veggie burger option would go a long way here.

Came here for lunch with wife and kids after reading reviews…read more Came in a Saturday and were able to find parking and was seated right away even though was pretty busy. The staff were all very friendly and attentive. The restaurant is very nice with indoor and outdoor seating. We all were very impressed with our meals. We got the chicken tenders, blackened fish sandwich, the club sandwich and wings as a main. Also got an order of mozzarella sticks. All were amazing with the only one negative is the wings were not very crispy but still very tasty. Would definitely go back.

I decided to come check this place out since it has been on my foodie list for a while. My son and…read moreI came here on a Saturday night. That was a little rainy and gloomy. It was about 30 minutes away from my house so I was indecisive if if I wanted to drive that far for food. This place is located in like a mini mall there weren't many cars out in the parking lot and they really weren't that many people inside. But you could tell there's regulars there because when we walked in they were like we don't recognize them lol It is not table service you order at the cash register what we used to call it. They do not have Coke products. They only have Pepsi so I ended up just getting a water. My son got a sweet tea that he liked. He started off with a beer, cheese dip, and that came with pita bread and chips. The server threw some toast and that was really good too. I ordered a cup of the French onion soup and it was delicious. I also ordered the Quattro (Four) cheese flatbread. My son ended up getting the spark burger with mac & cheese. He was dazzled by the burger, but not so much the mac & cheese. I ordered a water. He ordered a sweet tea. I had to ask for a refill for him and I never got a refill for my water. They really weren't a lot of people there so it wouldn't be hard to refill drinks. There is a bar there with a bartender it might be better to sit there so you can get more attention It was definitely a 70s 80s theme in there. In the bathroom, they had a cassette box with real cassettes in there. I really did like the decor. And they do have several TVs in there to watch sports. I'm not sure if I'll be back or not

Farrelleys for my birthday dinner!!…read more We've been here several times and have never been disappointed! They have an amazing happy hour from 4-6. I got a marg ($8) and the baked pimento cheese dip to start - served with pita. ($7) I loved my pan seared scallops with grits and broccolini. The cranberry bacon "jam" really adds so much flavor and create the perfect bite when you add all components together. ($34) Dad and David got the meatloaf and loved. It comes with house made BBQ, potatoes and broccolini. ($28) Perfect for when you want to go to an upscale meal but still have to make your man happy - this is literally a "meat and potatoes" dish. Mom got the Paneed chicken with brown butter sauce, mashed potatoes and spinach. She had no complaints! ($28) Service was very friendly and parking was no issue at all! This is a perfect place for a big group because there's something for everyone. It's casual, comfortable but still feels on the upscale side of things. We will be back!

Sunday was such a perfect day to go! Getting in was relatively easy and the atmosphere was great…read more There was a live jazz band playing which upped the atmosphere and the servers were very nice! The food was absolutely phenomenal, we had gotten the oysters and biscuits and gravy as our appetizers. We had the benedict and the brunchtada as our main entrees and my favorite was definitely the brunchtada! Had the right amount of spice and the flavor was all there. I think the only downside for me may have been the gravy for the biscuits, a little more on the sweet end for my taste.

My friends also said the Expresso Martini was way too strong. The staff was amazing and accommodating. The problem we had is that we had a group of 12 on Saturday at 10:30 for brunch. We called on Thursday for reservations which they don't take. They did tell us to have 2 or 2 people come in at 10:00 and they'd work to seat us. They knew we were coming and had a phone number if there was a problem. I received no call. We were provided a table for 8 at 10:30 with 2 two seater tables. This was not ok. The manager did work with us to scoot empty table to our large table so we could all sit together. Water was promptly provided and drink orders taken. Then food orders taken. Food came out before drinks. I know it's hard when there's a large group but I felt it should have been staffed appropriately knowing we were coming. Our group had a good time because we weren't rushed and we got to visit. For people that need to know, there's no handicap parking at all and we needed a spot. Parking is quite challenging so prepare for that.

I have been wanting to try this restaurant ever since they opened the one in downtown but have not…read morebeen able to make it until today. I am in a women's group that plans various brunch's lunches and dinners in the BIRMINGHAM area. One of the ladies made a reservation weeks ago so they knew that we were going to be at least a party of 12 to 14. It turned out to be about 12 when they got the tables together. There was just one full table of about eight people and then two other tables which weren't close to us so they ended up putting an extra table in so we could all sit together. Since it was a Saturday morning, it was pretty busy. Parking is a bit cumbersome. I pretty much had to make my own spot so that was a bit frustrating. I don't think I saw any handicap spots. I arrive there about 1015. We had to wait 15 minutes to get our table which wasn't too bad. When they came around to take our orders, we gave them our drink order and our food order. Several of us got some alcoholic beverages. I was a bit surprised that we didn't get our drinks until after we got our meals. I chose to get the vanilla French toast which came with spiced peaches, but I did not want that. I wanted strawberries which they told me they were out of. My friend next to me got a breakfast board and lo and behold. She had strawberries on there so I asked again for strawberries and the young man said they didn't have any and then I pointed to her board eventually I got strawberries and was charged five dollars for them, which I wasn't told before hand. I did get the espresso martini, which mostly tasted like vodka. It was very strong and not very tasty. Also, the glass was very small. It looked like they only had two bartenders if that you could definitely tell they were behind. All in all my experience, there was not very good. I don't think I will be back. I had a brunch plan there next month that I decided to change to a different location. Rachael was our server and she did you the best she could. She had no control over the drinks. I also asked for extra napkins, which I did not receive. It seemed like it wasn't very well staffed for a Saturday rush.

I stopped by this place when I was walking back to my car and decided to check it out…read more It is like the inside of a really nice gas station store without the pumps. I was greeted by a sweet Indian woman that was telling me what type of food they had of course Indian and American. There was quite a variety of snack, snacks, and drinks. I figured it would be more of a grocery store, but it was definitely a convenience store vibe. If you like Indian food, you might want to check it out. She also said they had Indian pizza which I've never heard of before. They did have a big selection of beer and wine.

This is a setup like the inside of a gas station without the gas. They have drinks, candy, wine,…read morechips, and some other items. They also sell breakfast and lunch. The cashier was nice but she was occupied with helping a delivery guy where to put some items. I get needing something like this in this community when you just need something quick.

While staying at the Renaissance, my husband and I opted to get drinks at JT's. It was right when…read morethey opened, so it wasn't too crowded. However, if was a bit slow for there not to be a crowd but the bartender was personable. I ordered a skinny margarita but forgot my id in the room. My husband went back to the room to grab it, as the bartender wouldn't proceed without it. Once he was back, the bartender continued making my drink. My husband ordered an old-fashioned. I found my drink to be crafted pretty well; however, my husband found his cocktail to just be okay. For two drinks, we spent around $50. We thought that was pretty steep for average cocktails. It's a cool spot to grab a drink or watch a game, but beware that it's a little on the pricier side of things. We definitely have had better for less!

I was very surprised to learn that they sell soda by the bottle and about a 16 ounce soda is three dollars apiece which I found to be a little overpriced. So if you go there and like soda be expected to pay three dollars a bottle which honestly makes me not want to go back. We were there during happy hour, and we got spinach, dip, and Parmesan fries with garlic aïoli, which was delicious. They used to charge for the bread, but we got two servings and didn't have to pay for the second one. Our server, Tyler W was very attentive. Our drinks stayed full and he did recommend some dishes. I got the chicken Parmesan and it was delicious. A very good serving and I brought some of it home. I got the brookie as a dessert and that was equally delicious. Happy hour is from 4 PM to 5:30 pm during the week. The bathrooms were very clean as was the dining area. When you walk in, they do have some ready-made food for you to bring home and also some salad dressings. We sat by the window, which was very nice. If I do go back, I'll probably just stick with water or sweet tea.

We stopped by Overtime Grill on a Friday night around 7 PM. It was pretty crowded because a band…read morewas performing later, and there was not much seating inside. It looked like only two waitresses were working, so it took a while for our order to be taken. We also did not realize we had to order at the bar. The food came out very quickly once we ordered. Surprisingly and happily quick. We had the burger and the buffalo chicken sandwich. The fries that came with the burger were actually really good. Very well-seasoned. The food overall was decent. The restaurant has a casual, no-frills vibe. It feels more like a neighborhood bar than a full restaurant. There are TVs playing sports. If you are looking for something relaxed and familiar, this place gives off that laid-back, down the street feel. A spot to grab something decent, enjoy some music, and head back home.
