Also worth noting, the owner is so kind and clearly cares about her customers and if they love the food. Service is legit 10/10 and the prices are extremely fair. The store has a cute and homey diner feel. One of the best lunch spots in Birmingham!

We decided on The Country Club and the Slamming Bacon cheeseburger. It was definitely cooked to order and truly didn't take too long to get to the table. The fries were well seasoned and perfectly crisp. The burger was good but the sandwich was amazing! It was even better than I imagined and huge. Prices were pretty reasonable for the nice portion size too. For two meals we paid about $27. We will definitely be back to try their breakfast!

The Ranch House is conveniently located just off Columbia Road, north of Highway 31. The building…read morewas once a Pizza Hut and still retains that distinctive 1970s design. The Ranch House has been around for many years, and the parking lot always seems to be full. I had heard it was excellent for breakfast, but I was curious about what other options they offered. The restaurant has changed ownership several times over the years, yet it has maintained a loyal following. My friends and I stopped in for lunch on Monday, and I was impressed by how large the menu is. The sweet spot here is the classic meat-and-vegetable combinations. The term "meat and three" is part of the Southern vocabulary -- especially in Alabama -- and The Ranch House does it well. The meat and vegetable selections rotate daily, and there's enough variety that you should easily find something you'll enjoy. The restaurant also includes "Markarios" in its name, and you'll notice Mediterranean influences sprinkled throughout the menu. For lunch, I ordered the chicken shawarma wrap along with a Markarios side salad. The chicken was nicely seasoned and full of flavor, and the salad was fresh and excellent. Overall, a solid local spot with something for everyone.

They did remake it but then the grits were like water with lumps and instead of being in a bowl they are served on the plate - No taste to the food. The biscuit turned very hard after a few minutes like it had been cooked earlier and then microwaved prior to serving. Then we noticed the price on the check was not accurate when compared to menu. This is the second time this has happened to us there - the waitress pointed to a place on the menu that says an up charge for eggs. Well I guess they can charge whatever according to that. We'll also had to constantly flag people down to get service. A totally different atmosphere than years past

They were pretty busy, so it took a little while to give our order. I got the classic bacon cheeseburger & my friend got the Philly Cheesesteak - it said it was good. My burger was huge & very tasty!

Thankfully free parking was available. I walked in at the perfect time, just as the breakfast grill was shutting down and the lunch grill was heating up. I was 5 minutes pass breakfast, as told by the waitress. She was so kind and told me that she would ask, if they (he) could prepare a breakfast for me. The answer was yes, but no grits. Oh well, let's try the omelette and hash brows. I'm really not into hash browns but these were delicious! Crispy and perfectly round. The omelette was also good and fluffy. The coffee was a good robust cup of coffee. This is a real old school diner. Counter seats with a few booths to the side. No frills here. Decent diner food with great friendly service. By the time I finished my breakfast, the lunch crowd was starting to come in for a seat at the counter and booths. I heard someone say, this is the best Philly cheesesteak in the area. Anyways, this was a pleasant place to have a good simple meal with some awesome service. The only reason I'm not giving 5* is because of not being able to get the grits, which was my fault for not getting there a little sooner. I will definitely come back.

One of my all time best local restaurants to get wings and gizzards. And even better, their prices,…read moreand quality of food are very impressive. I have gotten the daily combo which was 5 wings with fries, a slice of bread, and a fountain drink for $8. I've also gotten the gizzards which come with fries and a slice of bread for $5.50. Everything is cooked to perfection. There are no seats to enjoy eating there, but a welcoming counter to order your food. The staff are super sweet and helpful with suggestions. Located across from Kelly Ingram Park, you walk in and see pictures on the wall that show the history of the restaurant dating back to 1958. This is a staple restaurant of Birmingham that is a must try. Just a little tip. If you go there and order the wings or gizzards and they ask if you want them all the way. Please note this means they will put ketchup and hot sauce on the wings and fries in the little paper basket in the big. The gizzards will come with hot sauce, salt, and pepper. So if you don't want any of that on there, just say you'd like them plain, or however you'd like them. They are seasoned so good, they really don't need anything at all. Oh, and don't worry if you see a line waiting to order, they move quickly with options besides just chicken. They also have pork chops, fish, okra (this is really good), fried green tomatoes (this is really good), burgers, and chicken livers too.

I always loved the ambiance of this place as it is not only very inviting, but they also seem to offer so many food and drink options. I came early to class this past Thursday so I could try some of the menu options finally. They had a summer drink menu, and I knew I had to try the Pink Drink. I also ordered a breakfast burrito. The pink drink I enjoyed, but the breakfast burrito I will not be getting again. It lacked flavor to me. My friend Linh ordered grits that looked good. Service was a bit slow, but I could tell the cashier was working very hard.
