The whole experience was a disappointment.

This past Friday, I was dropping off donations at The Foundry, and noticed that Hit Different was…read moreright across the highway. I jumped at the chance to try this place out because of the reviews of other Yelpers. The restaurant is sitting on the corner of Pelham Parkway and County Road 68 East, across from The Foundry Superthrift Outlet and Dollar General, and next door to TherapySouth. It is a nice sized place and the atmosphere is welcoming. I was helped by Dyron, who seemed like he never knew a stranger. He was so kind to everyone, including those on the phone. I even heard him say, "So we got your dad covered - what can I get started for YOU?" He was excited when he found out I was a "newbie". I love the menu. Each item has some form of "hit" in the name - slappin', crackin', slammin', and more. I ended up with the "Bussin' Burger" and a side of fries to go (since I was heading back to work). The food is cooked upon ordering, so my meal was nice and hot when I left. And I am here to tell you, the name of the burger was totally accurate! It was delicious - seasoned very well, and the perfect amount of toppings. The fries were good, but that burger - so good! No wonder Hit Different is a 2026 Shelby County Small Business of the Year Nominee! They deserve it and then some! Do yourself a favor, listen to the other Yelpers, and head down Highway 31 for an amazing meal at Hit Different! I am going back!

Great brunch and even better service!…read more We nearly missed the 2p brunch cutoff, but our waitress got us seated right away so we could get our orders in. That kind of hospitality goes a long way! We tried the blueberry pancakes with sausage, the buttermilk pancakes, the Lamuese omelette, and the hashbrown sticks.

Can't wait to come back and try the brunch happy hour, with $6 mimosas and $7 Bloody Marys!

I started off with a pineapple, orange juice mimosa that was very delicious and refreshing.

It's so delicious with the hash brown sticks. As we were sitting, there did get busier however our server Jackie S was very attentive. I will definitely be back. I do like that they're white tablecloths as it makes it feel like a more fancier restaurant. I did visit the bathrooms, which are for all the businesses in this building and it was clean. If you haven't yet, been here for brunch or dinner I highly suggest checking it out.

I really was looking forward to trying some of their whiting fish, but they were out unfortunately. I tried their catfish with fries, and the dish tasted pretty good. It was seasoned very well and served hot. I really enjoyed their seafood gumbo. This soup definitely reminded me of New Orleans. I would suggest more soup than rice, but it was still delicious nonetheless. All in all, Nawlins Style was pretty good. I'll definitely have to come back when they have some whiting fish. Ohh and just fyi.. they don't have yellow mustard. They only have spicy mustard. So if you want some mustard with your dish, you might want to bring your own.
