    Onion soup
    Jamie M.

    Brick and Tin still has the same great food and service. I went in for a quick lunch and it was just as good as it has always been.

    Brisket Panini with Seasonal Fruit
    Joanne J.

    This is one of my favorite spots in the city for a mid work week lunch! If you work at the hospital or in downtown, this is a great place to grab a bite with coworkers. They have a menu that features paninis, bowls, and salads, so there is sure to be some thing that pleases everyone. I had the brisket Panini, which was delicious. The brisket was flavorful and tender, and the bread was soft and fresh. Would highly recommend! The service is fast and friendly, so perfect for a quick lunch run. And bonus that the interior is well decorated and with a shady outdoor patio to enjoy good weather. The only thing to take away from Brick & Tin is the notorious trouble with downtown parking. But it's worth it!

    I have tried both locations and the food is delicious. Definitely putting in rotation. Service was well and courteous.

    Turkey melt
    Candace B.

    I had lunch here during my workday and I loved it! The turkey melt was awesome. The apple butter on it is a bit different but definitely good. The people here were nice and I like the feel of the place. Brick & Tin seems to be a good choice for something that is relatively healthy and tastes great. The food came out pretty quick. I'm an out-of-towner but I plan on coming back for lunch here!

    Winter Chopped Salad and Butternut Squash Soup.
    Ashley H.

    Decided to stop by this place for lunch. First let me say I love the renovations! I love the open concept with the clear chairs and the full bar. Second let me say I have been by for lunch at least three times since they have renovated and decided to finally write my review. I cannot be more impressed with the fast service and quality of food as well as the friendly staff. For my recommendations I highly recommend the butternut squash soup and honestly any of the salads. You will not be disappointed!

    The melt in your mouth brisket sandwich (pro tip: ask for extra white BBQ sauce on the side for dipping)
    Parker S.

    This place is a great concept and works extremely well for a nice lunch spot. Its located very close to a lot of corporate buildings, and the food comes out quick enough to grab a quick lunch here with friends/co-workers. The service: The lady taking our order was pleasant, and our food came out after about 10 minutes which is pretty quick in my opinion. The food: Yep this place is amazing as everyone says. The brisket sandwich actually melts in your mouth with how high quality the ingredients are. The side salad you can get with it is delicious and I honestly hate salads. I highly recommend the brisket sandwich with a side of the white BBQ sauce for dipping. For $11 this sandwich is worth every penny and then some. Overall, if you are close by and want to grab a delicious and quick lunch don't hesitate to come here!

    Brisket Sandwich and Corn Chowder Soup
    Brett N.

    Why 5 stars? Because this was about as good as it gets when it comes to a sandwich. --- --- --- I landed in Birmingham, and as is usually the case, a flight works up my appetite. Will B mentioned Brick & Tin as a possible destination for said hunger, and I was sold. Sandwiches have about a 97% success rate at causing happiness within me, and this was no exception. The only problem is that I wasn't sure which sandwich to go with, until I realized that I had missed the most obvious choice ever - the brisket sandwich with white BBQ sauce. Done. Sold. Deliberation over. I also opted for the corn chowder, which was absolutely delicious. And the sandwich was just as wonderful. The only thing I quickly noticed that it was missing was more white bbq sauce. I headed back up to the counter to grab an extra side of it, which I can't recommend enough. As great as the meat and sauce were, the bread of the sandwich was so soft and flavorful. I don't understand why sandwich shops don't invest more time and energy into assuring that their bread is at the top of its game. Brick & Tin is a true role model within its craft.

    This charming place was AMAZING! You place your order and pay as you walk-in the door, a plan that works well because by the time you sit down, your drink is being placed on your table. They have a full bar and a nice small selection of craft beer on tap or in bottles. Your water is served in an old fashion decorative bottle with a cap on it that adds a nice touch. The decor is clean. With clear plastic chairs that I found fun and "funky". Important note if you sit at the bar there are plugs for phones and double coat hooks for purses. . The Food was delicious, two of us shared our plates with eAch other. We had the BLUEBIRD SALAD, and a Brisket Panini with a side of butternut squash soup. The best way to describe how fabulous the fOod was is to say that EVERY BITE WE TOOK we murmured Yum or "Oh My"! Both meals were perfect to the end!

    Salmon Bowl
    Mat Z.

    This place exceeded my expectations! Couldn't ask for a more refreshing lunch. Usually when ordering a bowl and any other place you get a lot of carbs and pointless food. But this was jam packed with veggies, nuts and an amazing sauce. Salmon was cooked beautifully and the veggies where nice and fresh. I would recommend outdoor seating during lunch, no sun during those hours and it's a great setting in downtown Birmingham!

    *Late post* I really had been wanting to come here for awhile. So, two weeks ago some friends and I came here for the first time for lunch , around noonish; never ever a good idea , right?! Parking was fun and interesting! We found a space pretty easily and nearby but getting into the space was not my finest parallel parking job! Thankfully, the owner of the car in the space in front of us left , so it made the parking job a little less embarrassing! Whew, glad we got that out of the way! A few steps away , we arrived at brick and tin and it was packed! No surprises there! It's peek lunch time , it's a Friday and it's downtown Birmingham! After we decided on what we were going to order , we turned into some table stalkers bc seating is first come first serve. We didn't have to wait long for something to come available so this was GREAT! Without too much of a wait , our food arrived. I ordered the smoked brisket sandwich and a classic side salad. I really enjoyed my sandwich! The brisket was very tender and juicy! The sandwich had caramelized onions , bbq sauce , cheese and was served on a sourdough bread. However , I wasn't too ,too thrilled with the side salad . Way too much ranch like dressing for my liking. This salad was made up of iceberg lettuce ,shredded cheddar cheese, tomatoes and croutons. It actually reminded me of a salad from my childhood. This was neat and it wasn't horrible but certainly not something I would have to have again. Brick and Tin isn't a really big space at all but it sure packs a lot of character within those walls. This place really does have that big city vibe and charm. Also , it certainly adds to the downtown scene , which I love! Our server was nice to keep our water bottle filled with fresh water. We needed a to go box so he was able to quickly get that for us so we could get back to work . I think we actually had 8 mins to spare once we got back to the car! Since brick and tin is now opened for dinner at this location , I plan to return to experience more of this amazing atmosphere and of course to explore more of their menu items! Overall, this was a great treat for lunch and well worth the time! I can mark this one off my food bucket list!

    Kevin L.

    Came here with a few friends for lunch. Although there is no official dress, it definitely feels more like a nice shorts or long pants sort of place (I had just gotten out of a test and was dressed like trash and felt like I stood out a bit.) Nevertheless, feel free to wear whatever you want. I ordered a chicken panini with a side of their rosemary soup. I really enjoyed both. The chicken was tasty and also cooked very well. The bread, although looked stiff, was actually a nice crunch with a nice soft underside. The soup was a great touch in between bites. This was my first time here and I'll definitely be back to try some of their plated dishes!

Soup changes daily and this day was chickpea and chorizo. Nothing life changing about it but it wasn't bad. We walked into a small, dark, crowded dive bar and ordered amongst several other people after waiting in line shoulder to shoulder with other customers. I say this not to complain (because with a crowd like this on a random weekday, they're obviously doing something right) but to take your kids in car seats (‍) with caution. Crowds in small spaces stress me out and it would have been even worse if we'd had the boys with us. I'd also highly suggest going on a day when you can sit outside. There's very minimal seating inside. They do have a lovely, spacious patio that also feels like a garden with plenty of trees for shade. However, they make it clear they don't want dogs there. Parking was horrific. A narrow street with cars on each side. We barely fit through it. If there wouldn't have been an open spot on it, I'm not sure what the next option is because I didn't see anywhere else and this street only held so many. I would dine here again because the sandwiches were fresh and delicious and they obviously know what they're doing! I was pleasantly surprised that they had prosecco as well. Just heed my few warnings and you'll enjoy as well!

You can see elements of the mill and wheat motifs in the background, which adds a quiet sense of craftsmanship and history without feeling staged. The pastries are exceptional.

The baguette is crisp on the outside, tender inside--everything you want it to be. Every item feels carefully made, never rushed. What stands out most is the consistency and care. Breadworks manages to feel elevated yet welcoming--refined without being pretentious. It's clear they take pride in both their craft and their process, and it shows in every bite.

While none of them have tasted quite as good since then (something about working up an appetite on the beach?), we still really enjoy a rare opportunity to eat at one. I knew we would be ready for lunch after a morning at a local museum, so I had researched possible venues earlier that morning. I showed my wife a short list and she immediately gravitated to Roly Poly. That would have been my first choice too. This one (the last one remaining in Birmingham, apparently) is in the Homewood neighborhood / area. It is located on a busy street with shops and plazas lining both sides. These look like they were built no later than 1950 but have evolved and been renovated as new tenants cycled through. We did angled parking on the street out front, but there may be better / easier parking on surrounding side streets. The only issue we had was backing out into traffic when we left; it took a few minutes for a gap. You enter and order at the counter. They have menus available there for you to check out. They have a rack of chips available, plus maybe other sides? I didn't look beyond the chips. You then sit down and wait for your order. I guess they have call-ahead too. Seating is along the wall to the right as you enter. There is a long bench the length of the wall with separate 4-person tables spaced along it, with 2 additional chairs each. Our order seemed to take a while, but it may have just been what we ordered (hot sandwich) versus other simpler orders getting filled faster. I got the French Twist, which is my favorite. I only got a regular and not a large, but I think I could have finished a large. My wife got something else, chicken-based I think. We both enjoyed this a lot. If I lived in the area, I'd probably stop in here semi-regularly.
