Hidden Gem That Lives Up to the Hype…read more This spot in Trussville, AL is great. I came with friends after seeing how strong the reviews were, and it definitely lived up to them. What looks like a typical sports bar is actually a well-known gem for a reason. The food was excellent across the board. We ordered mozzarella sticks, shrimp, chicken tenders, and fries everything came out hot, fresh, and really well done. Our server was kind and attentive, and the atmosphere was exactly what you'd want lively, fun, and comfortable. The price was right too, actually coming in under what I expected, which made the experience even better. Overall: Easy 5/5, this place knows it's good, and it should.

When we did dine in, we…read moreapparently timed it right and didn't have a wait to be seated but often I drive by and see a full parking lot. The sports bar atmosphere is a very loud environment so it is not conducive to a lot of talking but still an enjoyable experience. My wife really likes the Zydeco Salad (sweet chili-glazed fried shrimp, mixed greens, cabbage, candied pecans, jalapeños, tortilla strips, red onions, bell peppers, jack cheese, pepper jelly vinaigrette). Pepper Jack Boudin (jack cheese, pepper jelly vinaigrette) is almost always a part of our order. If you have never had, I recommend you give them a try. The Voodoo Shrimp & Grits (bacon-wrapped jalapeño and cream cheese stuffed-shrimp tossed in sweet chili glaze, served with cheddar grits) are an interesting take on the traditional Louisiana dish. I had never had corn mixed in with my grits before but it was a nice addition. The dish is large enough to split, especially when you add the boudin and Beignet Bites for a full meal. The Seafood Poboy with a choice of boom boom shrimp, fried shrimp or fried catfish with tomato, lettuce, pickles, mayo, poboy bread is another great option.

Overall consistently have been happy with everything I have eaten, but I will say that while still pretty good the burgers are not as good as they were early on. One of the big draws for me has always been the outdoor patio area that is shared with the other businesses that are part of the Trussville Entertainment District (TED). The covering over the area keeps you out of the direct sun but still has a very open air feel. On my most recent visit I got the Feral Smash Burger with Cheddar instead of American Cheese. I ordered the tots for my side because I swore that I had gotten them many times in the past. Looking back at all my photos, clearly I was mistaken. Since I am not a big fan of sweet potato the bartender brought me fries instead to go with my side of Beer Cheese which is well worth the added cost. Depending on when you go, you may have to go inside to order at the bar for the outdoor seating (such as I did today). Other days when the TED is busier and peak times you can order at the outdoor bar. For solo lunch dining I prefer other options in the TED but Ferus is great for groups and outdoor dining. I am sure I will be back especially when my daughter comes to town since she likes to refill her growler with the seasonal sours.

The salads never have wilted greens, at least for me so far in my past 4 years of getting food from here. Service is efficient, and on a weekday the atmosphere is quiet. On weekends though or in evenings, it can get quite busy. The parking lot is small. But hey, they are so good! It's worth it.

Normally, I wouldn't complain about paying gourmet pizza prices because I totally understand…read morequality ingredients and good food cost more. But this was anything but gourmet pizza. The large pizza barely had any ricotta on it, despite that being one of the featured toppings, and we paid extra for artichokes that were barely there as well. The "fresh basil" was practically nonexistent and looked more like tiny shredded flakes than actual fresh basil. The chocolate cake was also disappointing -- very fake tasting, overly spongy, and absolutely not worth $8 a slice. After DoorDash fees and everything else, the total came out to around $75, and honestly, you can get much better pizza and dessert for far less money almost anywhere. This location has seen several pizza places come and go over the years, and unfortunately this felt like another one relying on high prices and presentation without delivering the quality to back it up.

Oh, gather 'round, noble souls of Trussville! Take heed of the urgent tale I must unfold--a tale of…read moreculinary destiny that unfolds within the hallowed halls of Jim N Nicks, where every morsel is a matter of life and death!

Tender and succulent, it is cloaked in a sauce so rich and tangy that it ignites the very essence of thy being. Each bite is a fierce battle against temptation, leaving thee breathless, as if each forkful might be thy last! But lo! The sides are not to be trifled with--nay!

With smiles that could light the darkest of nights, they attend to thy every need, ensuring that thy experience is nothing short of miraculous. As the final act approaches, the banana pudding enters, a sweet, decadent specter that haunts the very corners of thy soul. It is the last hope, the final salvation in this epic saga of flavor, promising bliss so profound that it could very well be the difference between life and oblivion.

First, I can appreciate the aesthetics of the restaurant, definitely a family style vibe. I'm not familiar with the area, so the parking was perfect. Step out your car and you're inside the restaurant within a few steps. Food, I ordered the grits and eggs. Not a great presentation but the tastes was ok. My friend ordered a sandwich with fried green tomatoes. She thought that the tomatoes were delicious! The batter on the tomatoes was crispy without being soggy. They were seasoned just right, in her opinion. Overall the food was ok. The service was really good. There seems to be a need for a little more training for the wait staff, which happens at most places these days. The staff were very courteous and professional, just a little confused in taking orders. We enjoyed our meal and the atmosphere. I would go back.

I've eaten here on several occasions but never left a review until now. Shameful. I visited here…read morebecause I wanted to try their pastichio, only to discover it's no longer on the menu. My server, who was super friendly and helpful, stated that the Hoover location still serves it but due to the lengthy process it takes to make it, this location does not offer it anymore. While I was disappointed to find this out, my food made up for it. At my server's suggestion, I ordered the baked ziti lunch special for $10.95. The special came with salad and a breadstick and a healthy serving of baked ziti. I wanted Greek dressing with my salad, but quickly realized that that was not the right choice. It looked more like balsamic vinaigrette and was very tart. I usually eat Greek dressing when dining out but maybe theirs is.....very unique. Maybe I received the wrong dressing. All I know is I couldn't finish my salad because of it. The breadstick was warm and comforting and the baked ziti was very rich and cheesy. It was a delicious and robust choice that didn't break the bank and helped to ease my disappointment on missing out on the pastichio. The server (who kept saying she had been there for 18 years) was excellent albeit really talkative. Not necessarily a bad thing so don't think that it is. There's something nostalgic about this restaurant. It's older but it's still in good shape. It's a huge place with plenty of seating as the place is never crowded the times I've been on the weekend. As an introvert, I actually appreciate that fact. I'll definitely return as I always do when I'm in the mood for rich Italian cuisine.

Henrietta's…read moremenu encompasses hot and cold sandwiches, homemade chips, a variety of sides, breakfast served all day, and a small selection of salads. Everything is made to order, so you're guaranteed a fresh meal. What we ordered: -Chopped Cheese (substituted mayo for garlic pepper mayo): Hot sandwich with NY strip beef, sautéed onions, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, vinaigrette, and mayo on a fresh baguette. I devoured this sandwich. It was incredible. -Adult Grilled Cheese: A hot sandwich featuring spicy bacon jam, smoked cheddar, goat cheese, Swiss, and a fried egg, all on sourdough bread. My boyfriend ordered this, and he loved it! I'm not a fan of Swiss or goat cheese, but I actually really enjoyed the bite that I had of this sandwich. While I wish this deli were closer to where I live, I will still make the trek out here to grab another sandwich. The workers here were all so friendly and caring for their customers. I look forward to coming back to try more off the menu.
