Tonight my oldest son and I found ourselves at Beef O'Brady's after an evening of truck shopping…read more It was getting late, we were both hungry, and a good burger sounded a whole lot better than cooking. Before we even ordered, my son looked across the restaurant and said, "Don't we know that guy?" Sure enough, I turned around and there was an old friend I hadn't seen in years. Funny how life works sometimes--you go out looking for supper and end up catching up with someone you haven't seen in forever. I ordered the O'Brady Burger with fries, and my son went with the wings and fries. The food came out after a short wait, hot off the grill and looking every bit as good as it tasted. That first bite of the burger sealed the deal. It was juicy, flavorful, and honestly one of the better burgers I've had in quite a while. The fries were hot, crispy, and exactly what fries ought to be. Between the great food, friendly service, and unexpectedly reconnecting with an old friend, it turned into one of those meals that reminds you why local restaurants are worth supporting. I don't make it over to Hoover as often as I'd like, but Beef O'Brady's is definitely staying on my list when I'm in the area. And with a Tuscaloosa location reportedly on the way, I'm looking forward to making it a regular stop a whole lot closer to home. Sometimes the best nights aren't planned--they just happen over a great burger and good company.

I still enjoy a trip to Beefs. The food is consistent, plenty of menu choices for food and drinks…read more I love that they have specials every day. Recently came on 99 cent wings day. Wings were great! Service is always good. Love the outdoor seating area. Nice place for the dogs. Ambiance is casual.

We chose this spot on a whim after noticing the sign proclaiming they had been voted the best lunch…read morespot in Homewood. We were immediately seated and after perusing the menu my companion ordered a Lemon Drop Martini and a Po Boy Sandwich (substituting fried okra for her side) and I ordered a glass of Chardonnay and the Shrimp Remoulade salad. My companion loved the Lemon Drop martini and said the sandwich was the best Po Boy she had had outside of her home state of Louisiana. The okra, which she kindly shared, was crisp and flavorful. The shrimp in my salad were perfectly cooked and the Remoulade dressing, which had a slight kick to it, was a nice accompaniment. Service was friendly and the food came out very quickly. They offer an assortment of pies for dessert, which sounded delicious but we did not indulge.

Carrigan's is probably one of my favorite spaces in Bham. It's rustic, has charm, tall ceilings,…read moreand plenty of space! I love their multiple seating options. They have long community tables as well as the most cozy tucked away booth for a group as well as rooftop seating. This is really great space for groups or even just you and a friend. Or, even if you want to go grab a bite and a beer after work there's a long bar you can sit at, too. The vibe is very laid-back, but also trendy which I love and the food is phenomenal. Last night I got the double burger and the bun was perfectly buttered and toasted, and the two patties with the cheese was super juicy. It does have a black pepper aïoli on it, which the pepper flavoring is definitely prominent, but it was still very good. I really love the fact that they do Fresh house cut french fries. It's really about the details! They are very known for their corn dog, just trust me, it's super fun. But everything I've ordered is always very good, they used to have the best lamb burger in town and I still dream about it! I also really appreciate that they have an extensive list of drink options from homemade unique cocktails to beer to wine and nonalcoholic beers and mocktails. There is something for everyone. They also have a lot of specials during the week as well as other activities like trivia on Wednesday nights. Their location will be moving in the beginning of 2025 but go check this place out!

More like 3.5 stars ... but had to go with 3 stars…read more I was really looking forward to my first time visit here. Me and my friend came here just to grab a nightcap on a Saturday night. The staff/bartenders were all super friendly. The vibe was dark and chill. Typical bar feels. Since they didn't have the best drink menu, we just both ordered an old fashioned to sip on. We hated them! It was so cinnamon forward and just overall not a well made drink. We couldn't even fake it to finish it. I am willing to give this spot another chance later on down the line.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!! I do NOT recommend going to this place. Both bartenders were very rude. The…read moremiddle aged male bartender is especially rude, snappy, and disrespectful. I will not be visiting this bar again. He is probably the main reason they barely had any business. He does not need a job where he is interacting with the public if he is always treating people the way he did tonight. If you are looking for a chill place to get a drink this is NOT THE PLACE.
