This was my first time to come here and I absolutely loved it. I had gone to another Korean BBQ…read morerestaurant before but Stone Age III completely changed my entire perspective of Korean BBQ itself. The staff were all so so nice and constantly checked on us. And answered all of our questions. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with our friends and the food tasted amazing. What made me happy was after enjoying all of that delicious food I never once felt bloated or felt it was too much. I can definitely tell We will be coming back here again soon! The atmosphere was clean, fun, and entertaining.

I was really curious to try the only Korean Hot Pot restaurant here in the Hoover/Birmingham area…read more It was alright; I think because I've had so many really good hot pot experiences growing up, I held my expectations here a bit steady. But I think it's great that they have a place like this here. So, the menu is limited, but it is great for a novice hot pot customer because they won't be overwhelmed. There is only one type of noodles you can get (glass noodles), and only a few selections of red meat and vegetables. But hey, I won't complain, because you can't get it elsewhere. The meat I received were super fatty. There were some when the fat was around 80% of the meat itself. Veggies were good! They have a bar of sauces and other foods you can get and add to your hot pot. Broth was fine, it wasn't anything particular to rave about. The service was great - people were so friendly and nice. They tended to us pretty well. The ambience was really cool! They have screens around the restaurant that play K-pop music videos, which was a super cool touch. 5/5 for the ambience.

love Hot Pot! This…read morewas such a fun and delicious experience! The servers were very nice and happy to explain how everything worked. Yes, other than the appetizers you cook for yourself and you have a choice of barbecue or soup. It is all you can eat. They bring you the meats and vegetables that you choose, and you have sauces and oils to cook your meat or make a soup out of it. It's fun! You do it all on the table in front of you. It reminds me of fondue, which I miss very much. The slices of meat are very thin so it doesn't take very long. Since you're ordering exactly what meats or vegetables you want you could totally go vegetarian and control what you eat, if you have any restrictions. I just love cooking with people! Among other adult drinks, they have Soju a distilled Korean Spirit. It's known as the national drink of South Korea. It kinda reminds me of Saki but sweeter and better.

Food 7/10 Service 6/10…read moreAmbiance 6/10 Food was good some our meat had that almost going bad smell to it. But they use good marinades and seasonings. Sides on the buffet were good fried wings, spring rolls, fries. The gyoza dumplings had pork in them so I didn't get to try them. Loved the Hershey ice cream from the cooler, probably the best part of the evening. Our server forgot about us but the manager and other hosts and servers attended to us You order your meats by scanning the QR code. I didn't initially like this but since our server disappeared Servers please know how to distinguish bt overseas south Asians and born & raised south Asians. I know my skin kin can be cheap. But I'm a person for the ppl and so are most of my friends. I'm a big tipper, if the service is good. I easily leave $20s when I'm taken care of. Our server didn't change our drinks all night. We basically only saw him twice. I still tipped a little more than 15% for my $36 bill. They use bright white lights here. I can't stand that lighting. And the vibes and decor weren't like Korean places with Kpop and fun aesthetics. It was kinda of a mix between old and new. It wasn't crowded on a Saturday night either. I'll only come here if Stone Age has too long of a wait next time. Hate to compare but Stone Age is 9/10.

I enjoyed my experience here! It was my first time coming back in 10+ years so I was wondering…read moreabout the upkeep with it being so old, but you can tell they take a lot of pride in their cleanliness there. The carpet seemed in need of redoing with the amount of foot traffic it has seen. We were there for the IMAX screening of the Blue Angels documentary. It's a true IMAX dome theater. It was immaculately clean in the theater and the seats looked brand new. The movie gave me the same feeling I get whenever I have worn the 3D glasses they give you in the AMC theaters, so be forewarned I did get dizzy a few times during the movie. For 2 tickets the price came out to $21.90. I would definitely come again for the right movie, but need a break from the dizziness I got.

That means 4% of the places they've reviewed they've liked. So all I'm saying is they're a hater, and if you don't want to be a hater this school is good.

The main point of our trip to Birmingham was to see an exhibit at the art museum. However, we are…read moreearly rises (especially with the 1-hour time difference from home), so we had some time in the morning to fill. My wife determined that the local botanical garden opened by 7 a.m. (!) and was also free, so we opted to stop here before the museum opened later at 10 a.m. We made it here by around 7:30 a.m. A word of caution - the highway interchange nearby was nightmarish. We missed 2 turns (even with a navigation app running). I don't think it was just me. So be careful and add a few extra minutes to get lost. Once finally off they highway and through the final roundabout, we proceeded along a road bordering the gardens. On the other side appeared to be an expensive hotel and an upscale shopping / dining plaza. The garden was having some sort of plant sale, and crowds were apparently expected. They had traffic control cones in place, but we arrived early enough so that parking was still plentiful. When we left, it seemed like the lot had mostly filled up. The gardens are quite large. They are divided up into sub-areas and there is a large map posted about 100 yards inside the main gate. No paper maps were on offer, so I guess you can take a photo of theirs and use that. We first strolled to the Japanese Garden. We had this to ourselves until almost when we left. This area is quite large by itself. They have koi ponds, a tea house, etc. It was nice. We took an alternate path back to the map pavilion. From there, we explored other areas (mostly dedicated to specific flowers). Some of the terrain is hilly. We routed through the vegetable garden and eventually ended up back at the central formal rose garden. This was being watered periodically that morning and some of the brick paths in it were flooded. They seemed to have some satellite restrooms in remote areas, in addition to the main set near the gate. We spent almost 2 hours here and probably could have spent even more time, but we wanted to drive to our prime stop. If you have any interest in botanical gardens, this is a very worthwhile stop.

One of the first things I appreciated was free parking and free entrance, which is always an…read moreattractive feature. From there, it just kept getting better. You can easily spend hours exploring the many trails that wind through beautiful flowers and plants, the serene Japanese Gardens, and even an active beehive community--which was my favorite part! We were on a bit of a time limit and didn't get to walk the entire property, but we still managed to spend about two hours covering roughly three miles, and it never felt rushed. While it's still a little early in spring for everything to be in full bloom, there were still plenty of gorgeous floral displays to enjoy. Some of the trail directions can be a bit confusing at times, and we did end up wandering off course once or twice. That said, it was never difficult to find our way back to the main trail and continue exploring. If you're looking for a place to meander, slow down, and truly enjoy nature, this is absolutely the place to do it. A peaceful and rewarding experience overall.
