Parking is primarily street parking in the area, but there is also a public parking deck nearby. I'm unsure what the current cost is for the deck, but it's worth knowing if you're visiting during a busier time. I ordered the fish tacos with black beans and chose the cheese grits as my second side. Everything tasted fresh and had lots of flavor. The real star of the meal, though, was the sweet potato cake. It was incredibly moist and delicious. Honestly, I could've eaten four of them without shame or hesitation. My colleagues ordered burgers and fries. They both really enjoyed their burgers, but neither cared much for the fries. They had also requested a couple additional items after the food arrived, but those items never made it to the table. The decor is bright and fun, though it didn't quite seem to match the style of food being served. Just my personal observation. They also have a robot that helps deliver the food alongside the servers, which felt a little unexpected for the casual atmosphere and southern comfort food vibe. They were fairly busy since it was lunchtime on a Friday, but the wait really wasn't bad at all. Would I go back? Yes. Was it my absolute favorite? No. But there were definitely things I enjoyed, especially that sweet potato cake that nearly made me consider ordering dessert first next time.

We ordered the hot chicken sandwich with a side of coleslaw, and both were packed with flavor. The slaw was light, crisp, and not overloaded with mayo, with just a slight peppery kick that made it incredibly tasty. The hot chicken sandwich itself wasn't overwhelmingly spicy, but it was finger-licking good -- juicy, well-seasoned, and satisfying down to the last crumb. We truly enjoyed every bite. The ambience with its bright green, purple and white colors added to the experience. The restaurant was lively and full of people, which is always a good sign. I also caught glimpses of other patrons' dishes, and everything coming out of the kitchen looked just as delicious as what we ordered. Service was friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better. Staff members seemed genuinely happy to be there and kept things moving smoothly. The location is right in the heart of downtown Bhama, so parking is metered street parking, but the prices were reasonable and worth it for the quality and uniqueness of the food. Overall, this spot delivered on food, atmosphere, and service. Big thumbs up from me -- I'll definitely be back!

Even though the restaurant is on the smaller side, it never felt cramped or claustrophobic. Instead, it felt inviting, like everyone was sharing one big, lively meal together. I ordered the chicken tenders at the Hot level, and they were exactly what I hoped for, crispy, juicy, and carrying that perfect kick for people who enjoy a little spice without wanting to tap out. The heat builds just enough to keep things interesting, but the flavor stays front and center. Paired with their ranch, it was honestly addictive. The whole vibe made the meal even better. Friendly staff, quick service, and that unmistakable Birmingham charm. Eugene's is one of those spots you walk out of already planning your next visit.

The grits were smooth, warm, and buttery, like comfort food that makes you feel happy. The people working there were very nice and really friendly. They really made me feel welcome and were kind while I waited for my food. The wait was not too long, and everything was made fresh. The amount of food you get is perfect for an individual so you will not leave hungry. That made it even better for the price. If you like tasty and warm Southern food that you will be eager to come back to you should try this place. I will go back again to eat more because it was so good. Can't wait to try the chicken next.

And the Cajun ranch fries? A full chef's kiss. Crispy, seasoned just right, and the perfect companion to the fish. The truck stayed busy the entire time--from people getting off work to people like us, just looking to try something new--which tells you everything you need to know. Amazing food, incredible flavors, and we genuinely can't wait to come back and work our way through the rest of the menu. If you see this food truck, do yourself a favor and pull up!

I got the pulled pork sandwich, mac and cheese, and collard greens. The pork was tender and had a good smoky flavor without being too much.

When I went to pick up my order, the place felt casual and welcoming. It had that classic Southern feel where it is more about the food than anything else. The staff was friendly and my order was ready on time which made everything easy. I also liked that the takeout process was organized and clean. Overall I would definitely go back and try more from here.

Five stars for Hattie B's in Birmingham--no shocker there, but wow did they win me over fast…read more This was our very first visit, and we were in town with brothers from the Prince Hall Lodge, gearing up to march in Selma for the 60th anniversary of Bloody Sunday and the fight for voters' rights. The brothers insisted we had to try Hattie B's... and honestly, I now understand their passion on a spiritual level. I'm a full-blown fan. The chicken was moist, packed with flavor, and downright soul-hugging. The place has a cute storefront, plenty of tables, and yes--it was crowded--but the team kept everything moving with ease. I even wandered through the merch... those chicken shirts almost talked me into taking one home. Bottom line: if I'm ever back in Birmingham--or anywhere a Hattie B's exists--you'll find me at the counter, happily placing my order. And seriously... when are you bringing one to Portland, OR?

We had chicken, baked and fried, macaroni and cheese, greens, and cornbread. Firstly, the fried chicken was delicious! It was seasoned and fried perfectly. The greens were delicious too, not too salty but definitely seasoned very well. The macaroni and cheese was also very delicious. It wasn't too hard or chewy, something I dislike about some, but it also had a very nice cheese flavor. Additionally, working with them for the catering process was amazing. They were extremely kind and accommodating for our family and this large meal. My parents visited once before our reunion and told me that they loved it so I had high hopes when I heard they were catering. They did not disappoint. I plan to go very soon to try some of their other meals as its definitely high up on restaurants I want to try.
