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're over here waiting like, "Hello? Sign us up!"

They have a nice cocktail menu, and a lot of the seating is lounge style (couches with coffee tables). This would be a fun spot to watch some football. The food was satisfactory. I had the garlic noodles with chicken, $17 for lunch. My dad ordered the banh mi with fries. I'm assuming these prices are the same for dinner, but I really think they should be lower for lunch. I'm even fine with a slightly smaller portion, but Tuesday lunch shouldn't be more than $15 anywhere. I'll definitely be back to try something else! I love the outdoor seating. I'd forgotten about how jam-packed this block of Lakeview is with restaurants and bars.

I wanted to love this place SO BAD!! There's an attached arcade!!…read moreAnd the staff was SO NICE and friendly and helpful and I loved the industrial, creative decor. But we'd spent the day at McWane Center and we were starving so we were there to EAT! The food looked gorgeous but it tasted very meh. The onion rings had too much breading on them, which I didn't think was possible, but here we are. The part of the breading next to the onion was mushy so that threw off the texture of the whole thing too. The burger was very much like a Whataburger. Even the lettuce smelled the same. I got The Standard and the bun of the burger was a little mushy (similar to Whataburger) and there was not much meat. For an $11 burger, I'm expecting more than a Whataburger. My middle kid likes everything on her burger and isn't picky at all and the loaded kid burger looked impressive but it was about the same as mine. Not awful, but not very good either. Very close to the same amount of meat. She's the queen of the Clean Plate Club and she only ate half. The fries were good but a somewhat too salty, the dip that came with the onion rings was excellent and we ended up using it for the fries. We had 2 adults and 3 kids and our meal was $63 before tip for 5 waters, 2 adult burgers, 2 kid burgers, a kid grilled cheese, and a basket of fries and onion rings (I thought I was ordering a "side" of fries, not realizing I actually ordered a basket and it was a lot of fries and onion rings). We don't mind spending money on good food, but the prices here don't align with what you get. No one was more disappointed than me, I've been wanting to eat here for FOREVER!!!

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!

If you're craving bold flavor and serious crunch, Gus's Fried Chicken never disappoints. Whether…read moreyou're popping in for a sit-down lunch or grabbing a to-go order, the chicken comes out piping hot with that signature spicy kick and perfectly crisp batter. The sides are always on point, and the fried fish is a great option if you want to switch things up. The staff are consistently warm and welcoming, the dining area is spacious, and the service moves fast. And a special shout-out to Brandon in the back--his work in that kitchen is a big part of what makes every bite incredible. Whether you're downtown for work or passing through after hours, make a stop at Gus's--you'll leave happy every single time.

Even downloaded DoorDash just for them... and if you know me, you KNOW I hate DoorDash. That alone should tell you everything. This place DOES. NOT. MISS. Every single dish? Fresh. Hot. Flavor packed. No complaints--not one. And if you love Asian food, there's something on that menu for you. Period. Yeah, you might wait a little--but that's because it's made fresh. And trust me... it's worth every second. The service? Top tier. The owner is one of those people you can tell genuinely cares--taking orders, helping the kitchen, making sure everything is right. You don't see that everywhere. Food Service Cleanliness Easy 5/5. Honestly, there is NO reason this place shouldn't have a line wrapped down the street. Birmingham... don't fumble this one. This is a gem. 707 Richard Arrington Jr Blvd S, Suite 101 205-593-4287 Or order on DoorDash Go support them. Let's keep this place around for years to come.

I know) to a food truck event mainly because my favorite lemondae truck was supposed to be there and they ended up having to back out (shout out Lemonade Junkeez still love yall) so I ended up going ahead and checking out the food trucks that were there and honestly nothing really caught my attention but this one. Guys say hello to Ry Ry's Wings Fries & Pies! It's a black owned food truck kicking out some actually really good food. The customer service was great too. Everyone was very nice but my only gripe was the wait was a touch long for my liking but the food made up for it. I'm going to be honest the pizza for what it was was pretty good. They made it fresh and loaded it with toppings. Yall know how I am I prefer my toppings to be on top of the cheese not under it. This pizza reminded me of a much better version of a Subway pizza and that's not a bad thing I like their pizzas which means I liked this pizza even more. It was cooked perfectly and I can't really say much else but give it a 7.2/10 on my pizza scale. I would get this again. Now the star of the show is this polish sausage that is unlike any other. This thing was HUGE and covered in ground beef with peppers and onions covered in cheese and drizzled with bbq sauce. When I tell yall I was in Heaven! This bad boy was legit. The only thing I have to say about this is they may want to invest in boxes for these things to fit in because I couldn't close the box other than that it was perfect. Easy 10/10 Go check these guys out asap. They deserve to have a line down the freaking road man and I need to see them popping up at more food events and just areas in general because I hate that was my first time and I haven't seen them anywhere else since. #bhamfoodie #foodreview #foodreviewer #foodie #pizza #pizzareview #polishsausgae #polishsausagereview #ryrys #ryryswingsfriesandpies @highlight
