I dined in and enjoyed the vanilla doughnut more than the fritter, mainly because if the fritter was warmed up it would have been amazing! Cold cinnamon, glaze, bread, and apples aren't as appealing to me, but maybe I missed an option to warm it up. That wouldn't stop me from visiting again!

My favorite bite was a thick slice of cake that had strawberries on it...I ate every bite! They also have hot n crispy churros if you want something not as sweet.

It takes a while to get your food because it's prepared fresh upon ordering, but it's well worth the wait. My usual order includes 3 whole wings, fries, Doughnuts, and a drink for $6.99.

They were really good. After enjoying the starters, I ordered some chicken tacos. They were great! The guacamole was definitely my favorite part. I really enjoyed my meal. The service here was great! Our waiter was super kind and helpful. The inside was super clean. The bathrooms were very clean too. This place had a good Ambiance to it. Overall, great Mexican restaurant and I highly recommend trying it if you are ever in Birmingham.

The juices were literally dripping from the quesadilla, and it was so big that you will definitely be full by the time you finish. The space isn't huge, but it has a nice, quaint atmosphere. We did have to wait for a table, but since we were at the downtown location, we decided to get a few steps in while we waited. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely go back again.

People, People with Paws, and Little People oh my!…read more Pepper Place Farmers' Market is basically Birmingham's Saturday granola goes southern parade, except with better snacks and a lot more dogs. Yes, there is fresh produce, baked goods (a line about a block long for one particular vendor), and all sorts of things you absolutely did not plan to buy. But the real hidden gem is the free people watching. It is top tier. You will see stylish shoppers, not so stylish shoppers (yours truly) sleepy parents, tiny children weaving through the crowd like they pay taxes, and dogs who clearly believe this entire event was organized for them personally. The whole place has a fun, happy energy, and even if you came only for tomatoes, you will leave with a pastry, three unnecessary purchases, and at least one strong opinion about someone's hat. Also, pro tip: bring your kitchen knives to be sharpened while you shop. Nothing says "productive weekend" like artisan bread, fresh peaches, and a newly dangerous chef's knife.

I decided to stop for a bite to eat after a nearby appointment. I had never been to this location…read morebefore, and I found the drive through to be a bit tight and oddly laid out. I assume that is simply part of being located downtown where space is limited. The driveway and patio area could use a good sweeping, which would really help improve the overall appearance. Since I do not frequent Dunkin', I was not quite sure what to order. I simply asked for "something sweet to drink." When I noticed they had a breakfast combo that included a drink, I decided to go with that option. The employee on the intercom was incredibly helpful and patient while I figured things out. When I apologized for being new to the Dunkin' world, she genuinely smiled and assured me it was no problem. Her kindness and patience made such an impression that I asked if she would be willing to have her photo included in my review. She seemed pleasantly surprised and said that had never happened before, but she was happy to oblige. As I exited, the drive through leads straight through another parking lot, which felt a bit unusual. Again, I assume that is simply part of navigating a downtown location. The food was delicious and I enjoyed every bite. The new banana flavored iced coffee that Skyler recommended was absolutely perfect.

Had multiple dishes most all of which were good with the paella being a standout. The chocolate cake was also stellar. Service was adequate. Portions good for two, would def need more for group settings. Price was reasonable.

This is a great date night spot although some of the dishes failed to hit the mark. The spring vegetables you can skip. A cold dish that was rather bland. Instead we liked the mushroom conserva which was very flavorful though the portion size was small for mushroom and an egg. The hangar steak was delicious with a perfect medium rare but somehow it wasn't too memorable. I would say the same for the fish which was also great but not memorable. The tres leches was good but could skip and opt for dessert elsewhere. Service was impeccable and the food was good. However I was expecting more from a bib gourmand restaurant.

I'm not sure if they currently offer dine in service.
