The sandwiches looked great. My grilled cheese sandwich was perfect!! 2 types of cheese with enough butter to make the cheese ooey and gooey. We didn't really understand how/where to order or how/where to sit, but following the directions of the folks in front of us helped. The menu consisted of sandwiches, soup and chips. There were a selection of different types of beer, wines and liquor. Cool ambiance; hanging out in the garage eating a sandwich while having a drink. The seats were a little uncomfortable, church pews, but you're in a garage. I would go back for the grilled cheese sandwich, for sure. The people with me thought their meat sandwiches were delicious!

They have incredible sandwiches and sides that are high quality and affordable. I have tried the Camilla sandwich, house seasoned kettle chips, mac and cheese and bread pudding. The service is also pretty fast and the main server that's been working the few times I've visited is friendly and efficient. The Electric offers indoor and outdoor seating, and the patio is covered and equipped with fans to combat the summer heat. I look forward to returning and trying more items from their menu!

I stopped by The Electric on a whim, and I'm really glad I did! I got my food to go this time, but…read moreI can definitely see myself dining in here in the future. The indoor dining area is on the smaller side, but it seemed like plenty of space for the crowd level when I visited. There's also outdoor seating, which was comfortable and especially convenient with the brewery next door. The bartender offered me a taste of the frozen peach margarita and mentioned that it was made with fresh peaches. You could really tell! It was incredibly refreshing, and if I dine in next time, I'll definitely be trying one for myself--or another cocktail from their menu. I ordered the Hedberg, and while I'm not normally much of a sandwich person, I really enjoyed it. The "205" mustard was a standout for me and added a lot of flavor. The bartender was also incredibly helpful and happy to offer suggestions, which I really appreciated since it was my first visit. I left knowing exactly what I'd like to try next time. Definitely a spot I'd come back to!

I tried the burger and fries, and they were delish. The burger had excellent flavor. One thing to note is that there is not much seating inside- one table and then bar-style seating by the windows. Worked for what we needed, but just something to be aware of in advance. We will definitely be back!

As I walked in the bartender yells at me, "What part of banned for life don't you understand....?" Fortunately, the PTSD keeping me on perpetual edge kicked in immediately and I responded, "Hey you're wearing my t-shirt you... give it back. And, how can I be banned from a place I've never been before?" The bartender and I then got down to the long history of Marty's PM (formally in Five Points), the legal and jurisdictional control of lifetime bans, and general 'long time no see, how you been?' chit chat. The place is situated in a nearly empty strip mall, which gives it a slightly post-apocalyptic vibe. It was nevertheless pretty crowded. They seem to be serving the same healthcare professionals/biker crowd that used to populate the 5-points version back in the day. I didn't try the food, but it looked pretty good. The prior version had one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches to be found. My only knock on the place would be the lack of draft beers. I toughed it out drinking Jack and Cokes. It's a little out of the way for me, but I suspect I'll be back sooner rather than later.

They take absolute care and pride in everything--even the eggs were extra tasty and their breakfast sandwiches....yum. Most of the pastries are made with sourdough (except danishes, cookies, muffins). And they are top notch. Tender, buttery, flavorful, no skimping on anything. Just plain delicious. Bought more to save for afternoon coffee. The Friday offerings of challah, rye, and bagels are not sourdough but made with great care--even the bagels are made using tangzhong and cold proofed for 48 hours. Even those who do not emote about food and those carefully counting macros and calories in our family were impressed, vocal, and eagerly finishing off all of the offerings, sweet and savory. And great service!

The space itself is beautiful--clean, intentional, and unique--with visual nods to milling and baking traditions. You can see elements of the mill and wheat motifs in the background, which adds a quiet sense of craftsmanship and history without feeling staged. The pastries are exceptional. Their croissants are perfectly flaky and buttery, the sourdough is deeply flavorful, and the morning buns strike that ideal balance of richness and warmth. The baguette is crisp on the outside, tender inside--everything you want it to be. Every item feels carefully made, never rushed. What stands out most is the consistency and care. Breadworks manages to feel elevated yet welcoming--refined without being pretentious. It's clear they take pride in both their craft and their process, and it shows in every bite. A true standout in Birmingham and absolutely worth returning to.

We were one of two double seater tables that were reserved, it was really cute honestly. It has been a while since I got duck confit, and I loved the luxuries of tasting it without the price tag tonight. Only $8 to add some on to either the caesar or house salad options. Husband got the sweet potato fries and blackened flounder sandwich which were all tasty as well. Fries were shoestring style and sprinkled with brown sugar - yum. PSA to DEFINITELY try the cookies, my hubby is a chocolate chip connoisseur and said these were top of the list now. So warm and fresh. The fried pie was delicious as well and I enjoyed my cocktail selection. Great date night selection!
