Crab Claws and Sweet Potato Fries
Jameka T.

Food was excellent. The staff was good. I had to call for them couple of times. Atmosphere did not line up with the name. I was looking for a mor Nola feel, its reads more like sports bar.

Yelp! Ragtime we back! This is always our go to spot. We were welcomed immediately to a seat, although people are everywhere. This is truly a well oiled ship with everybody working together. Thanks to our server, Deverny! I know I'm not spelling your name right but, THANKS GIRL! Now on to this food!! Bae and I are here for date night! He got his usual, Chicken Alfredo ragtime style. Delicious! Of course, I love trying everything. Tonight, I'm torn between pizza and this club sandwich. I loves me a good club! So, I clubbed, with fries and a side of fruit! Excellent choice! This stuff here good! And, It's so much food, I have tons to take home. Y'all already know, I'll be back.

I was there last week for lunch, It was my first time, service was a little slow, it took a while for the food to arrive. The tables were too close to one another, ambience is okay, I am not impressed in my sandwich it's dry.

I love Ragtime Cafe! It's family friendly and spacious. I enjoyed watching tv in the dining area. It was cozy. The steak bigger was amazing! I loved it. I definitely recommend you try it!

My girl Brooke  rocked the bar tonight.  Place was slammed food and drinks going out on spot.     Food was great service was fantastic.

Brooke was fantastic. Packed bar and restaurant. Never missed a step. Great bar and kitchen staff

Grilled Ribeye Steak Sandwich

Found it right here on Yelp. Sandwich was delicious and a great value for the quality of the steak. Place was packed and service was perfect and the kitchen was prompt. Next time in town, I will be back.

Came to Ragtime for an early dinner/ late lunch. We were seated quickly. Our server Diana took care of us as best she could. She had lots of tables to see about. We got some onion rings and queso for apps. They came out in good time. But it took a long while for our meals to actually come. Seems like forever when your waiting. I was so happy that they had black eye pea jambalaya soup for today. It's so good but it's on a rotation so it's not always available when I go. I got the combo soup and club. Both were yummy! Not very many dessert options so we skipped that. But no real disappointment... food was good!

What a gem. I've had this place 2 days in a row. I feel like I'm cheating on my usually coffee…read morespot, but this coffee was so good. Day 1 I had the Rush Hour iced. It had white chocolate and caramel. I drool. It was silly, smooth, sweet, and indulgent. Day 2 the Turtle iced, but with white chocolate instead of dark. This was at the recommendation of the barista. Again, heaven in coffee form. I definitely plan to visit again.

Been passing this place for almost a year and finally decided to stop and try. I picked the best…read moretime to do it! Bullet Coffee is hard to miss if you're driving south on 31 in Pelham. When you get to the light at the corner of 31 and Pelham Park Blvd, just look to the right and you'll see a quaint little white building. Behind it is the Pelham Public Library which looms over Bullet and to the other side of Bullet is Edgars Bakery. As mentioned BC has been there about a year now. The other BC is on 280 and there's one more in Fairhope. All are owned by the same individual who also owns their sister store the Red Mountain Expresso. BC is not technically another "pop up" coffee place because this is actually a brick and concrete building albeit it's just big enough to be a full service drive thru, but it doesn't have any seating inside or out. Just a drive thru. The drive-thru is planned nicely so it's easy to get to the order window then around to the pickup/pay window. Their menu options long and diverse but also typical of any coffee place. They also serve fresh daily sausage biscuits and pimento cheese biscuits. They have specialties like the Turtle latte, Classics like cold brew, blended drinks like frappes and non coffee drinks like iced teas and chai. I was lucky today because they are in middle of running a special called Frappy Hour good for another week. From 3-6pm all medium frappes are $2! I tried the Java Chip and Cookie & Cream. She asked me if I wanted the "coffee" or "milk" based. The coffee is the traditional way but the milk would be more like a milkshake. I chose coffee. I didn't get whipped cream which was offered. I only had to wait a couple minutes after paying. She even gave me a frequent visitor card. Get 10 drinks, get the 11th free! The cookies and cream was good, but the java chip was even better. Nicely blended, cool and refreshing on this warm afternoon. Yom Yom Yom Yom. It hit the spot! Welcome to Pelham BC!

These are not all the same photos lol, I just like what I like and get the same meal every-time!…read moreThis is real food, cooked by good people. I am greeted by Mr.Eddie (the owner) himself every time I go and have had nothing but friendly conversations/interactions with most if not all of the staff. Mr.Eddie runs a tight ship! The food is fresh and hot every time, and on the one occasion where it wasn't, Mr.Eddie personally brought me a fresh piece of fried chicken! 10/10 each visit and would give it more stars if i could. It is a bit on the pricy side but i would much rather support a local business and friendly face, than corporate restaurant/fast food that comes from who knows where and doesn't care about your food or experience. Hope this cafe can stay open for as long as possible! Much love to the Bevelle family

In the area for errands and came across Bevelle. A cafeteria style line that you go through and…read morepick out what you want. All the staff was incredibly friendly. They said everything is made fresh daily and the food tastes that way! We got turkey and dressing with fried okra and green beans. We were a fan of the dressing and the fried okra. The fried okra wasn't heavily breaded, made them that much better. Everything else we got was pretty tasty too. It's price is about 35% higher than the meat and two place we typically go to that's closer to pur home, but I would come back here next time we are in the area again.

Having opened in 2019, Baba Java entered the area's coffee shop scene at a time when coffee for…read moremost local residents was still associated with one single chain. This was the first location of Baba Java and has since expanded through the city. Ran my Omani entrepreneurs, this little coffee shop became quite popular over the years. The staff working here are mostly teenagers or college students, who are very attentive and professional despite their young age. The owner clearly picked out incredible folks to be here who make Baba Java feel both welcoming and well kept. The interior of the space is fairly basic coffee shop design, but admittedly, a little bit dated in 2026 and lacks the unique vibe of some other independent coffee shops. Window views facing the strip mall parking lot don't create much of an ambiance either. With that said, design is not the main thing to come here for. The coffee is excellent and priced very reasonably, offering a great value for an establishment of this sort. There is easy to access WiFi and an overall feeling of being welcomed. A solid little coffee shop that allows customers to support some local business owners instead of a big chain.

I ordered the Train Wreck sandwich that came with chips and a side-I chose BLT Pasta salad. Was all really good. My wife ordered the same sammich but had the broccoli salad. Again, all well done. We always ask the acid test question.....would we order these items again. We both agreed we would. Didn't sample any of the baked goods but they looked solid. I questioned the staff multiple times on multiple menu questions. All answered attentively and with concern. One staff member answered my queries and was so hospitable I my wife and I both thought she must be part of the ownership. Nope, just a lovely person who likes her job and offers great hospitality. An employers dream employee......a true ambassador for your business. So rare and so glaringly obvious! We will be back. Well done.
