Burgers, pastas and a few other things, all done extraordinarily well. Like shocking amounts of flavor. If you're in the area and you have a chance to try it, don't hesitate. It's easy to find, there's plenty of parking, and you'll get to sample a truly local hidden gem where the owner is working the grill and putting his eyes on every plate. Stop in and try it. You'll be glad that you did.

My friend and I visited here after seeing a review on Yelp. We do not live on this side of town and…read moredrove about 15 minutes to get here. Here are my thoughts: Pros: Alfredo had a good taste. Plate was heavy, albeit mostly noodles. Philly was made with whole chunks of steak and not ground meat. Plenty of seating inside. Soothing music played on the speakers. Coho or sockeye salmon was used, so chef didn't skip the health benefits of wild-caught fish. Cons: Philly looked to be missing the toppings. One portion looked like it was missing meat. Paid $9 more to add 3 stems of broccoli and 1 piece of chopped grilled chicken. I asked for my salmon to be cooked well done, but it was not due to the cashier typing "well done" under the broccoli add on. Meal was kinda pricey and while I did not mind paying for what I want...the amount of additional food vs the cost didn't add up. $4 for 3 stems of broccoli isn't right. One day, if we are in the area, I may return to try something different on the menu. Don't take my word for it. Try this restaurant out and leave a review on what you think.

I always love visiting Greenacres Café in Ensley, Alabama. They have the best fried chicken in…read moreBirmingham. It is also a black owned business that's been around since 1994. I always get the manager special that comes with five wings, fries, and fried green tomatoes. The meal is very affordable, range from $10-12. They have a broad menu offering a variety of dishes. They have very good service. There is always a crowd, but they get you in and out quick. The food is always hot and fresh. Depending on what location you go to parking can be a little bit hectic. Overall, I encourage everyone to visit Green acres.

While the vision behind Green Arches Cafe is beautiful, the execution currently falls short of its…read morewonderful potential. I am giving it 1 star today not out of malice, but because I sincerely hope they use this feedback to grow into the neighborhood gem they deserve to be.The Atmosphere: Beautiful but UncomfortableThe Concept: The botanical design is visually stunning, lush, and incredibly photogenic.The Reality: The high humidity needed to keep the plants alive makes the dining room uncomfortably warm.The Sound: Without acoustic panels, the ambient noise quickly escalates to an overwhelming roar.The Food: Great Intentions, Flawed ExecutionThe Signature Salad: The locally sourced greens are wonderfully fresh, but they were unfortunately drowned in far too much dressing.The Avocado Toast: The sourdough flavor is fantastic, but the crust was baked so hard it became impossible to chew.The Avocado Quality: The mash lacks the crucial pinch of salt and splash of citrus needed to make the flavors pop.The Service: Sweet but OverwhelmedThe Staff: The team is incredibly polite and greeted me with genuine smiles.The Wait Time: The kitchen is clearly suffering from severe understaffing, leading to a painful 22-minute wait for a simple coffee.The Beverage: Because it sat on the counter too long before delivery, my pour-over arrived lukewarm.The Verdict: There is an abundance of heart and good intention inside Green Arches Cafe. However, love alone cannot sustain a kitchen. With some tighter management, a lighter hand with the dressing, and a bit of acoustic buffering, this place could easily become a 5-star favorite. Until those adjustments are made, I must sadly advise diners to wait.

As soon as I took the exit and saw I was in the older section of Birmingham, I knew the food would…read morebe fire. The deeper I got into the neighborhood the more I knew the grill would be well seasoned and the staff would be my auntie's age with attitude. This isn't a 5 star restaurant from the looks inside and out but the food is home cooked goodness. It's the traditional diner setting from years ago. Nothing fancy but it was clean. Well I was right by all accounts. That was definitely an auntie taking orders and probably her sister, if not her mom, on the grill. When I saw all that bacon and real scrambled eggs, I knew I needed to treat this as the last great meal I'll eat for a while. The food was seasoned and hot and the staff was somewhat friendly. Supporting local businesses is so important, regardless of what city you're visiting.

This particular wings place went through rough times when it first opened in an already established…read morebakery. The demand was high and they were not anticipating how much they were needed. Things have improved, they cook food only after an order is completed. The store is clean, stocked and trying. They have a good health score. My only concern is how small the wings are and they are cooked too hard for my brother's preference. I looked for the name of the bakery but couldn't find it. Nevertheless, the baker has a calling for the heavens. I have tried many flavors and haven't been disappointed yet. The German Chocolate Cake is unbelievable! So it's the Carrot Cake. They make special orders and can do pictures on cakes too. I'm happy the owner discovered a way to expand the kitchen so that the Bakery can continue to stay in business. If you are interested in a desert for an event, you can't go wrong plus you will be supporting a small family business.

I stopped in for lunch and wasn't quite sure what to expect when I first walked in because the front has more of a bar-like setting. Once you walk past the bar, you'll find the food served cafeteria-style. You walk up, choose what you'd like, they make your plate, and you pay. You can take it to go or stay and eat there. The lady serving the food was very friendly, and the food itself was delicious! Definitely not the healthiest lunch I've ever had, but it was good Southern comfort food and very tasty. The dine-in experience, however, could use some improvement. The first table I chose had ants crawling around, so I moved to another table. From there, I ate my lunch, got up, and walked out without anyone seeming to notice. For the food alone, I would recommend giving them a try, especially for takeout. I'd definitely grab a plate to go, but based on my experience, dining in wouldn't be my first choice.

I had the hot lemon pepper wings and they had a good amount of heat and great flavor. My husband asked for the hottest that they had (I can't remember what they called them.. the Birmingham something?) and he said that they had good heat and flavor.
