The service was top tier. The owner and her staff were very professional and engaging. I love the vibrant colors of the food truck. Ah, we'll be back to taste the healthy options as well.

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!

Next up we got The Recipe Bham. I discovered them on Instagram through a random video I saw and was…read morelike I gotta try them. What we have below is a Fully Loaded Polish Sausage with onions, peppers, meat sauce, and melted cheese and a Cheese burger both came with fries. The polish sausage was so good yall and had a snap from the meat that was just amazing. Everything from the peppers and sauce just worked and came in to me a solid 8/10. The cheeseburger was so good well seasoned full of flavor and the two kinds of cheese on it just worked. Only thing I felt was for the price I paid I wish it was a bigger patty or at least a double but still good. 7/10 As for the fries so good just needed more seasoning on then. 8/10 This is yet another black owned food truck you need to follow and check out ASAP so good!

Ate lunch at Kamali Creole today The dining room is elegant…read more We both got a po boy (catfish and shrimp) I got a "side salad" , but the term side salad does not do it justice. It had real bacon, different kinds of greens, cheese and cucumber. Blues cheese dressing was awesome. My catfish po boy was huge. The fish was light and not remotely greasy. It tasted awesome. My wife got jambalaya and shrimp po boy. I tasted her food. Her shrimp was huge and tasty. Outstanding service. One of the owners came by to talk and she was precious. We will be back soon. I can HIGHLY recommend this restaurant.

RESTAURANT REVIEW…read more THE SPOT Kamali Creole Kitchen 611 Doug Baker Blvd Suite 205 Birmingham, AL 35242 Finally got the chance to visit Kamali's restaurant and I just want to go ahead and state that the people overhyped it for sure now the ambiance is EVERYTHING!! It gives a real classy vibe. Cute dinner date vibes. I also love the fact that it is black owned They have a happy hour that comes with a free bowl of spinach dip if you order a drink off Food Spinach Dip (Spinach and cheese, topped with parmesan cheese and green onions. Served with toasted French bread) Kamali's Platter (Fried catfish, shrimp, oysters, crab cakes, fries, side salad, and hushpuppies) Mini Margarita (A mini version of our signature margarita) St. Charles Streetcar (Bourbon mixed with a blend of orange & pineapples with a splash of grand mariner) Let's talk about it!! So the drinks weren't really hitting. I could've done without but they were only $5.00 for happy hour and came with the complimentary spinach dip. The mini margarita was decent and the St. Charles was very interesting. I was underwhelmed with my seafood platter. The catfish and fries were the best thing on the plate. Honestly, the fries. They're like those Arby's curly fries. Yum yum! The shrimp was also good but I could've used a few more pieces of it. The fried oysters were a no for me as well as the crab cakes. The crab cakes came in a ball form so that was different. The salad was good. It was just a regular house salad but it did what needed to be done. The hushpuppies were missing from my plate so I'm not sure how those taste but I assumed they substituted them with some more of the toasted French bread. Whew, they give you plenty of bread!! LOL. If you're in the mood for oysters, you may want to call and make sure they have them before you drive allllllll the way down Highway 280. They were out when my friends and I went so that was a bummer. Would I go back? Probably not! However, its's definitely worth a try for the experience. Check it out if you're ever in the area. Be sure to let me know what you think! https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=oHMOxoVT-HmY2ZDJXoAcvA&utm_source=ishare https://goo.gl/maps/b5EmjYrPQTMbvkF79 https://www.facebook.com/reel/327971122639128?fs=e&s=cl https://www.instagram.com/reel/CbJMB_8Ahoc/?utm_medium=copy_link https://vm.tiktok.com/ZTdyKTJFf/?k=1

I ordered a chicken taco, and it was one of the best chicken tacos I have ever had. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the service was fast. I was able to get my food in under ten minutes. The menu was not overwhelming, which I have noticed can happen with other food trucks. The area around the truck was very clean. If you ever pass El Pollo Ranchero, stop by and order something, because it is really good!

Both meats were seasoned and cooked well. They have a full menu so I will be back to try more. I do not know their hours as they are a food truck, but they are in this location most afternoons.

Food trucks are near my neighborhood daily. I saw this food truck on the schedule yesterday so I…read moredecided to give them a try. I had never heard of them, but they have been around. When I placed my order, the employee took down my phone. She said she'd call me when my order was ready, which I appreciated because it was very hot outside. The employees were nice and provided good service. I ordered fried seafood plates. The prices ($18 & $15) were well worth the price. I had the fried popcorn shrimp, fried crab claws, and fries plate. My kids shared the fried oysters and fried popcorn shrimp plate. We all really like our food. I'm sure we will end up ordering from this food truck again.

Rice and beans were both delicious and the grilled veggies were next level. I thought the food was reasonably priced for the amount you get. Tortillas were fresh and authentic! I honestly could eat it again today, and tomorrow... you get the point. I plan to try a burrito next time, but I think the bowl will be my go-to. Note: this is a food truck/trailer so check their social media pages to see where they will be set up (I found them at the Ross Bridge Farmers Market where they often set up)

It had my eyes closed as I savored each bite! Seasoned well, cooked crispy and done. Even eaten cold hours later my breast was still juicy, skin cracking and Mac and cheese delicious. The owner is professional and kind. Everything is cooked to order but worth the wait. Her hygiene practices are wonderful. Her prices are very reasonable and even lower than a chain for a burger combo! My favorite place to grab a meal after working in the yard and need a food run!
