It met all of the marks; service, price, portion size, overall southern deliciousness. It was all there! Cant wait to go again during the summer when there is live music to enjoy!

We ordered the smoked chicken plate and the combo plate, and overall, the food was really…read moreenjoyable. The smoked chicken was succulent and full of flavor -- easily the highlight for me. I'm not personally a fan of mayonnaise, so I skipped the Alabama white sauce, but my guest ordered it and really liked it. If that style of sauce is your thing, it seems to be well executed here. The French fries were cooked well, though I found myself wishing there was a house seasoning or something on the table to switch up the flavor profile a bit. The collard greens were also delicious -- tender and nicely prepared, with most of the stems removed, though there were still a few more than I would have preferred. Where the experience dipped was service. We were seated in a back corner, and it took quite a while to get assistance from servers throughout the meal. It didn't feel intentional, just a bit overlooked. The restaurant itself is in a very cool, older building with character. The historic feel is part of its charm, though aesthetically it does feel a little worn in places -- understandably so given the age of the space. Overall, the food is strong and worth trying, especially the chicken. With more attentive service, it would easily elevate the experience.

They ask you how you want your okra fried (hard) so that is a plus! My daughter couldn't wait until she got home so she started eating in the car. I tasted the beef tips and rice and fried okra and they were so good! I don't eat mac n cheese but she enjoyed it. The plate is enough for 2 people to eat off of. You defiantly get your moneys worth.

I recently tried Southern food from Saw's Soul Kitchen and I get why people love this place. I…read moreordered takeout and the food was still really good by the time I got home. I got the pulled pork sandwich, mac and cheese, and collard greens. The pork was tender and had a good smoky flavor without being too much. The mac and cheese was creamy and tasted like something homemade. The collard greens had a lot of flavor and were honestly one of my favorite parts. When I went to pick up my order, the place felt casual and welcoming. It had that classic Southern feel where it is more about the food than anything else. The staff was friendly and my order was ready on time which made everything easy. I also liked that the takeout process was organized and clean. Overall I would definitely go back and try more from here.

Five stars for Hattie B's in Birmingham--no shocker there, but wow did they win me over fast…read more This was our very first visit, and we were in town with brothers from the Prince Hall Lodge, gearing up to march in Selma for the 60th anniversary of Bloody Sunday and the fight for voters' rights. The brothers insisted we had to try Hattie B's... and honestly, I now understand their passion on a spiritual level. I'm a full-blown fan. The chicken was moist, packed with flavor, and downright soul-hugging. The place has a cute storefront, plenty of tables, and yes--it was crowded--but the team kept everything moving with ease. I even wandered through the merch... those chicken shirts almost talked me into taking one home. Bottom line: if I'm ever back in Birmingham--or anywhere a Hattie B's exists--you'll find me at the counter, happily placing my order. And seriously... when are you bringing one to Portland, OR? We're over here waiting like, "Hello? Sign us up!"

I hadn't been in this area for lunch in a while and had not heard of this place. It had taken over…read moreanother restaurant we had been to in the past. Met my wife here for lunch and it was a nice surprise. The inside is a little small, so if they are busy, you may have to sit outside. The inside is decorated... festive? And they have TVs on to catch a game if you're so inclined. I got the philly sandwich for my lunch. It was tasty, though I wish they had some slightly better hot sauce to put on it. I'd definitely come back though and try something else on the menu next time.

This is a really cool little pub in Avondale. Most of the seating is outside, and we visited on the…read morenight of some big football games, so the place was packed. A lot of people are able to walk here from their homes, so it is truly a neighborhood bar. I would characterize the beer menu as limited, but they have enough variety for people to find something they would like. They have a great food menu, and everyone liked what they ordered. Personally, I like the buffalo style cauliflower appetizer (don't judge). Nice and spicy. The fried pickles were excellent as well. Note, order the fries, not the tots. You will thank me later. The only problem is that they don't have any wheelchair accessible parking (which is require by law). One person in our party uses a wheelchair full time, and had to park at the gas station next store. The sidewalks are partially blocked with planters, and it was hard for him to enter the premises.

I've eaten here even before they moved from their Homewood location in the Palisades. I prefer…read morebreakfast here over lunch/dinner. Nothing wrong with the latter; it's just my preference. They offer a hot bar where you order from items that are hot and ready for you. I like their salmon patties and rice. The breakfast potatoes are also a favorite. The ladies are always friendly. I've stopped several times on my way to work and bought food for my teammates and they have been very accommodating with the large order. The price is very reasonable and I always enjoy my breakfast. The dinner menu is decent but I can get better soul food and desserts elsewhere. During the pandemic, they stopped customers from sitting inside to eat and I'm not sure if they have started back yet. I usually take my food to go. Overall, it's a good place to eat with fair prices and friendly staff. While I prefer breakfast, lunch and dinner are worth checking out as well.

We had a short amount of time to plan our event, and he said yes even when it was probably inconvenient to him. The time in between booking him and our event he was gracious enough help us work through a menu that was specialized to our crowd without any question. He was timely to respond to us even when his family was going through a short term difficult situation as well. He is absolutely dependable when it comes to communication. The day of our event, David and his family showed up in a timely manner prepared and ready to go. He set up in a timely manner as well. During the event he was prompt to make sure our crowd was taken care of and greeted which is a huge plus when hiring companies. His food itself was honestly the best food I have probably ever had. There was not one item offered that was not clearly thought through and perfected. Every single item was prepared perfectly. We had him make ham and cheese sliders which are not even on his typical menu, and they absolutely were hands down the best ham and cheese slider i have ever had. Over all, do yourself a favor and hire David and his catering staff. There are a million incredible things I could say about them and none of them would be enough to wrap up what they did for us tonight. He left us and our crowd more than satisfied. To David directly- thank you for making such a hectic night, easy. Showing up on time and doing a job well is hard to find these days so I am personally thankful that you were able to greatly exceed all of my company's expectations. I will be recommending you to every single person we know. Thanks Again!
