Catfish fillets
Charles C.

I love this restaurant, especially their hush puppies. Next time I might request my fish fillets not come stacked because the bottom one gets greasy. Get fried extra done. Burgers look delicious. Always too full for dessert but they sound good. So does the meat and three menu. Usually friendly people. Country-type, laud back feel

Hush puppies

We eat here often and the food is always good. The wait staff is attentive and courteous. The atmosphere is a family diner.

Yelp says they close at 8:30pm on Saturday.  I guess tonight they closed at 7:20?‍
Mrs. B.

We have been to Libby's a few times and have always enjoyed the catfish so when we went to Point Mallard Park we decided to eat there on our way home. We pulled in the parking lot at 710 pm. Got out of the car and the little older lady (who has always been rude each time we go) was sitting outside smoking. I told my son, "watch this one, she's always grouchy!" And laughed. As we approached the door she said "If your going to eat you better hurry, we close in 10 minutes." I was kinda shocked because it was 7pm on a Saturday night and there were like five cars pulling in behind us. She was telling everyone they were closing in 10 minutes. My husband said, "Ok, sorry. I guess we will just go somewhere else." She says, " you can come in but we close in 10 minutes." He told her we didn't want to be rushed and she didn't say anything. Another lady stepped outside and was telling everyone to come on in. But her attitude had already ruined it for us. Idk if she is "Libby" but each time we go she has been rude. All the other staff has been great and the food was always good. We left upset and very disappointed because we were excited to eat there tonight. As we were walking back to the car I told my son.." See, I told you!" LoL Anyways.. if you can get past the door, the foods pretty good.

Single side of catfish

Husband and I were in Huntsville, AL and Libby's was recommend it to us. Servicer's were so nice. The sweet tea was so tasty. Not too overly sweet, but just right to me. Everyone got a piece of cake. Not sure why but it was good. Now for the food. I normally don't like farm raised catfish. but this catfish was so delicious I didn't even realize it was farm raised. The fried green tomatoes didn't have any kind of sauce with it but they were so good I didn't need it. My husband liked everything on his plate. The shrimp was flavored just right the green beans were flavored just right. The flavor of the okra was good but I wish they were a little warmer or hot. It was a home run I will definitely come back here when I'm in Huntsville again.

Great southern food. I'm not a big fan of catfish, but they have so much more to offer. I really liked their country breakfast.

Kimmie's Kitchen & Social House - 12oz ribeye

Kimmie's Kitchen & Social House

4.0(22 reviews)

Quick take: food was pretty good, decent prices, great drink, will come back!…read moreCame in around 5pm on Friday 2/27 and only one person at the bar. Nice lady told us to seat ourselves where we want, GM initially waited on us. He was friendly. Wife said he made the margarita and it was great! A little stronger than my wife likes, just under what I like. After a couple sips she loved it! He recommended fried catfish and the ribeye as favorites. We tried both. Ribeye: cooked nicely, not seasoned enough for my taste. I would order and try this again, $26, with two sides. Steak was tender and was a nice cut of ribeye. Salad was solid. Mashed potatoes ok. Could have used a piece of toast I think. Next time a different side from mashed taters. Catfish: GREAT! Light, fluffy, fried perfectly. Hush puppies were good, a little thick though. Fried okra was also great! Cole slaw could be hit or miss for folks.. i thought it was good, wife didn't like. Should have come out in mashed potato sized bowl to eat easier. Some dislikes: 1. Steak not seasoned well. But I'd try it again. 2. Some things missing off of our plates initially (tartar sauce, mashed potatoes.) No big deal but if it was busier I think we may not have seen them for a while. 3. Person bringing single bowl of mashed potatoes holding with one hand, palm down over potatoes. Pretty sure it looked like hand touched top of potatoes. 4. Not sure if this is a smoking establishment but a guy at the bar lit a cigar. But he must've been asked to take it outside because he put it out. Glad he did because we had a baby. Not sure why he thought he could smoke it in there if he hadn't before. Overall, good visit and I look forward to trying more things and eating that catfish again.

First visit and it will not be the last!…read more After looking at reviews and photos I knew I was ordering the salmon with cabbage and rice. Salmon was seasoned perfectly, had a nice crispy char on the outside while the fish was moist and tender. Only thing that could have made it better was another piece! The cabbage was soft and flavorful, but not overly seasoned, nice comfort cooking style. The rice was perfectly cooked, had hints of I believe saffron and maybe liquid smoke(?) whatever it was the rice really stood out my only complaint would be there wasn't enough. My wife had the grilled shrimp with sauce and she was very happy, they were cleaned, cooked well, and she really enjoyed the sauce. She had the same two sides and also said a bit more rice would have been nice. For desert we had their deep fried cheese cake, it's almost like a cannoli and cheesecake had a baby that was deep fried. The dough was softer than cannoli but the apple drizzle paired very well with the dessert. We plan to return, but it will be hard to order anything other than that salmon! Great location across, right across the street from Princess Theater.

After three visits, I decided it was time to leave a review -- and when it comes to sports…read morebar/restaurants, this one is a winner. I've tried the wings, the redfish, and today, a burger. Every dish has been impressive. The wings are some of the best I've ever had: meaty, perfectly cooked, and coated in a great sauce. The redfish was fantastic as well -- cooked just right, with broccoli and rice that were surprisingly delicious for simple sides. And then there's the burger. WOW. I had the double bacon burger: two 1/4‑lb smashed patties and several thick strips of bacon. I added lettuce and tomato, and it was a serious meal -- in the best way. I swapped the fries for onion rings, and those deserve their own shout‑out. Thin‑sliced onions, lightly breaded, and absolutely addictive. I also have to mention Vay, our server. She was wonderful -- friendly, funny, and full of personality. I highly recommend asking for her when you visit.

This restaurant is a sports bar with Cajun type of food place. There is a nice size full bar and lots of TVs. I imagine this place is rocking during Alabama and Auburn football games. I ordered a grilled chicken avocado sandwich. It came with waffle fries. My chicken was perfectly cooked and quite juicy. The addition of raw onion delivered excellent flavors to the wheat bun and chicken sandwich. 5/5 I was going to order a side salad and opted for a Cypress Cobb Salad with ranch dressing. It was loaded with grilled chicken, bacon, red onion, tomatoes, eggs, and lettuce, This salad was delicious! 5/5 Dave ordered Fried Catfish Orleans, deconstructed. He asked for the fried catfish, the fried shrimp, and the crawfish étouffée to be served separately rather than everything piled on top of each other. He said the catfish was very good, the shrimp was very good and he enjoyed the crawfish étouffée, but said it was on the spicy side. I am glad I asked him to get the dish deconstructed. This way he was able to enjoy the catfish and shrimp and not worry about the étouffée being too spicy. He loved his meal. 5/5 I asked for a cup of red beans and rice to go. The red beans were on the spicy side. They were very tasty but definitely had some kick. 5/5 If you like sporting events and going to a sports bar versus sitting at home, please stop by Walk On's. They have great foods and my waitress, Alexis, is more than capable of loading everyone up! We will return. 5/5

We made it to Wooden City for dinner on Thursday night. We made reservations for our party through…read morethe link on the restaurant's website (Resy), and the process was straightforward and easy to modify when our party size and time changed at the last minute. Wooden City is located off Morris Avenue in a shared row of older buildings. There's a private parking lot behind the building, and you can have your parking ticket validated at the restaurant. The location and vibe on Morris Avenue are really neat and uniquely Birmingham. It's a great addition to the city's dining scene. Our party of four started with drinks and shared three appetizers: the Bread and Butter, Heirloom Tomatoes, and Steak Tartare. My favorite was the Bread and Butter. It's house-made focaccia served with a sun-dried tomato spread and an oil dipping sauce. The bread was amazing. For my entrée, I ordered the Peel-and-Eat Shrimp from the appetizer menu. It was fabulous--a generous portion of large shrimp that were perfectly seasoned and grilled. For dessert, we shared the Chocolate Mousse and Blueberry/Blackberry Crisp. The crisp was my favorite. It was served hot with a scoop of vanilla ice cream--an excellent way to finish the meal. While Wooden City doesn't have a large menu, everything we tried was very well done. I definitely recommend giving it a try, but don't be in a hurry. The service was a little slow during our visit.

This place was recommended by a local Birminghammian and it was a good recommendation. Three of us…read morewere working somewhere nearby and we took an Uber here and it was kinda packed. We snagged some seats at the bar and had some drinks and shortly after that, our table was ready. And they were able to keep everything on one check, which was nice. No need to settle the tab and start a new one at the table. And the old fashioned I had was delicious. For food, we started with the Hungarian Hot Stuffed Peppers. These were pretty good and the heat gradually snuck up on you as you ate them. I don't know if it was because the heat was more intense as you worked your way towards the stem or just a gradual burn. Either way, these were good and worth the heartburn later. The thick focaccia helped with the burn a little. Speaking of heartburn, the pepperoni pizza may have contributed a bit to that too, but again, totally worth it. The cup-and-char pepperoni was charred nicely as were the edges and bottom! I love a nice bottom! These were easy to share between two of us. Service was amazing from the bartender to the waiter to the uber driver (who didn't really count, but nice job, man). We felt welcomed and I can see why the place was crowded on a Tuesday evening.
