The filets are big and you get two of them plus two sides. I'm an okra fan and the mac & cheese was a good choice too. This was worth the drive to Centerpoint. I want to come back for brunch one day.

The first time I had SKA was in 2020 at an event at The Hangout (now closed). It was a bad…read moreexperience .. the event started late, the food wasn't good, the building had no heat on New Year's Day. Just bad all around. I said never again. Fast forward to this week, 7/2024. It was my turn to pick a place for happy hour. I called SKA last Thursday & asked what time happy hour is? The staff replied "Either 4pm or 5pm until 7pm." I asked her to please find out and I'd wait. In response she asked me what time I planned to come. I told her, 4pm. She responded, "YOU SHOULD BE FINE AROUND THEN." I was baffled and just asked for her name and ended the call ... We went to Courtyard 280 ‍ It just so happened that my friends picked SKA for brunch today, Saturday. I'd resolved that I was going for the company and would put all of my past experiences aside. My food experience had been prior the food truck and brick and mortar. So I was open to giving them a chance. I'm so so glad I did! They refer Saturday brunch as a Day Party. It's on the louder end of the spectrum, which is perfectly appropriate for a day party vibe. There was a DJ ... at some point my friend asked, Are they playing GloRilla?!? lol! I'm a fan so it was fine. Our waiter had great energy and he was attentive. The decor is nice. We ordered the mimosa flight. They were good, 4 flavors - strawberry, mango, blueberry, peach - not too sweet. I ordered shrimp and grits. The grits were thick (that's how I like them) and well seasoned. The shrimp was plentiful! was not over cooked at all. There was shrimp in most every bite. I'd recommend this. My friend ordered the fried catfish and grits and said she enjoyed it. The biscuit tasted canned - it wasn't needed though. This was a nice experience!

This is the first of 4 food reviews I'll be posting this week. So get your lunch and dinner plans…read moreready. Birmingham Restaurant Week has ended and I am happy I got the chance to try some new places so I can tell you all about them. So let's get right into it. First up is The Lil Bougie Foodie INC. What brought me to them is what I saw written all over their food truck. It said Home of the Bougie burger, so I was very intrigued. So I ordered it after asking what all came on it. I don't fully remember what was all on it and unfortunately I tried to find it only but there is no description of it I could find so I'll do my best here. Like I said I ordered The Bougie Burger (A LA Cart). It had cheese, bacon, tomato, pickles, onions, lettuce, and bougie sauce. Oh and two smashed patties. This burger was good. In my own opinion it was lacking just a touch of season and I wish they had given me more of the sauce on the burger it was like I know it's there but wish I had more of it. Also I was disappointed I received bacon bits on my burger instead of actual slices of bacon (not sure what was going on there). Also on the picture it looks like there burgers were served with White American cheese but I received Yellow American (yes they taste different to me), don't get me wrong I love yellow American so it didn't bother me at all. Anyways this burger was very good would 100% get this again and can't wait to try what else they have on the menu. I give the burger a 8.9/10. If you see this food truck parked and serving gone head and hope in the line with me and everyone else because you are about to eat good! Be sure to follow them on social media too!

My favorite order here is the Hercules combo...a Conecuh sausage dog with beef, onions, peppers and…read moresauce. It also comes with hand cut fries and a drink. There's a $2.00 up charge for juice. The owner, who is usually on the truck, is super friendly and offers a frequent buyer card that gets punched on your visits. The only complaint I have is the cost. I pay around $17-$21 for my food, depending on if I get the juice, and that's kinda pricey for the amount of food. There are cheaper options available though. I'm gonna try the regular hot dogs on my next visit. Give them a try when you're in the mood for a good dog but be prepared to pay a little more for it.

Today, I had to opportunity to try Wicked Wieners Food Trailer in Birmingham, AL. UAB Hospital…read moreoffers different food trucks during the weekday at the Spain Wallace building, so they were scheduled today, which was great to be in close proximity to them. For the trailer to be a smaller size, the menu options were grand to me. They offered not just hotdogs, but Conecuh sausage dogs, wicked nachos or fries (loaded with beef, bacon, cheese, peppers and sauce). The trailer has a protective screen with a magnetic opening that provided bug protection from the food, which I appreciated. The owner was very friendly. You could tell he knew the menu like 2nd nature because the food came of within 5 minutes of me ordering my combo. I ordered a specialty combo, which featured 2 Bamweini hotdogs, fries and a canned drink. The combo was $15 and I was able to add cheese and beef to the fries as well for an upcharge. Altogether, my total as $22, which included tax. To me, the price was a bit steep for lunch, however paying for the convenience was the balancing part. There was an option to upgrade to a juice for $2.00 more but I didn't see any advertised as available as in the past. One pointer was the drink options were only standard sodas, not zero sugar options were available. The food quality definitely had increased from my previous visit. The food was served in a Styrofoam container, able to fit both dogs and fries in the same container. The food came with individual packets of ketchup and a napkin wrapped fork. The dogs were all-beef dogs and grilled to perfection. The buns were Sara Lee buns and able to hold the tops nicely. The toppings were fresh, crisp and you could tell that the chili was made that day, which I appreciated. The fries were homemade hand-cut fries that were dropped fresh when I ordered. The cheese and ground beef I had added to the fries were seasoned as well. The only drawback was as the fries sat in the container, the grease from the fries saturated the bottom of the fries, so I didn't eat the end of them. Overall, the food and service were good and I will return again! -DASC

Sol's Hot Dogs is a long-standing business in Birmingham, Alabama. I had never tried there before…read moreand today was the day to try what cannot be argued a hot dog from a business that has stood the test of time. Service was okay, though when I asked what kind of hot dogs they used, they had no clue. I ordered two hot dogs. The total was over eight dollars and honestly, the hot dogs were not good. The chili was weak and the meat topping looked and tasted like it had been out way too long. The hot dogs were also low quality. The ambiance was decent enough. I can't see myself returning.

I had been trying to get my hands on some Sol's since before Easter. Unfortunately, they don't answer their phones. So annoying! The day I visited for lunch, it was packed. I placed my order at the counter and they call out your order when it's ready. This could cause some confusion. What if multiple people ordered the same thing?! I had no issue with my order but there's definitely a more effective way...... My 2 hotdogs (well done) all the way were fantastic!!. Fries were just okay. Skinny and borderline greasy. I still ate them all up! lol Next time I will dine in instead of eating in the car. Highly recommend. You are certain to take in the rich history they have created within the walls of Sol's hotdogs!

It is located in the Edwards Lake Road Lowe's parking lot near the back of the Staples. Looking back over my check in photos, I have consistently ordered the Campechano Tacos which is a typical go to for me with any taco truck. On my most recent stop I ordered the Campechano Quesadilla instead. While I did enjoy it, I think next time I get a quesadilla, I will try the Pollo or Asada instead. I was also very tempted by the tamales and plan to try them on a future visit. I timed my visit just right and was able to order with no wait because almost immediately several people showed up behind me. It did not take long for the pager they gave me to go off for me to receive my order.

I am always greatful for the tables that they provide. Today I got asada tacos. Although they are just beef tacos, the meat is very rich and has a great contrast with salsa. They usually give two different salsas', these being salsa Verde and red salsa. The red salsa is spicier, but it is worth the kick. I ordered three tacos and it was just 9 dollars in total. Taco Don Andy always has great food for an even greater cost. Overall, the tacos came with diced onion, cilantro, and salsa. These components are necessary to have the best taco ever! This food truck also uses corn tortillas, which is perfect for tacos on the go.

I usually order their street tacos with carne asada. They have very big portion sizes which I love! My friends usally order their torta and barbacoa. They also have amazing drinks as well! I enjoy their horchatas. It is very refreshing and not to sweet which I love. Usually when I go to taco trucks the food takes a while to come out, but Tacos Don Andy is very fast with high quality food. For it being a quick bite it is an amazing dinner or lunch option. I hope to try more on their menu like their Birria and quesadillas. They are also very clean and provide napkins and utensils for customers. Overall, I recommend!
