Staff is always personalble and friendly. I always get the Philly but tried a burger today. It's a…read moredouble smash burger, cheesy and a little spicy but not too hot. I think the sauce, onions with the jalapeno, and potato bun really make it! I opt for tater tots but their fries and sweet potato fries are great, too. The bathrooms are spotless clean and they have hooks for handbags and the locks work easily. It's amazing how the little things really make a big difference. Music was upbeat at lunch. There's sports on every TV. On occasion, like a major event like the Super Bowl, they will play the sound of the TV through the speakers. I love the indoor and outdoor space and how it all flows together. It's a great place for groups or show up alone or meetup for a casual meeting or lunch date.

Place was suprisingly small, not a lot of seating inside or outside but we had no problem getting a table. Very friendly and fast service. Good job staying on top of refills. Food wasn't bad, just really didn't stick out in anyway. Blends into the background of the food scene similar to a chilis, not bad, just meh. Worth it if you're in the area and want standard food items but not worth a special trip.

It looks to be family owned and the young boy who helped me was very courteous! The catfish was a bit salty but definitely seasoned well. The Cajun okra was tasty as well, not my top okra in Birmingham, but still very good. I wish those were fried a bit harder but I know for next time. The mild wings? DELICIOUS. They remind me of a place that closed down in my hometown. So good. The fruit punch was amazing as well. I'll definitely be back soon!

So glad I decided to come by here after a day of shopping! The Boba was actually really good. I did…read morethink the Boba was a bit too soggy for my liking but definitely flavor profile of the actual milk Tea was so amazing! The owners of this place are so sweet and they have done a really great job of remodeling the interior so hanging out here would be really fun and watching a game here would also be really fun! its so clean! They have a lot of options for food, too. I specifically came for the Boba however I will have to come back to try more options! Definitely recommend this spot. I only gave it four stars because of the soggy Boba, but I think that it was still a great experience overall!

This **might** be a HOOVER HIDDEN GEM. I need to try it again to really be sure, but the food was…read moreso good, I was whisper cussin. I was like HOW HAVE I NEVER BEEN HERE???!!! We shared the Philly and fries and the street corn thing and I was so sad that I agreed to share. Especially that street corn thing. It was SO GOOD! The bun on the Philly is what made it (as is usually the case!) the fries are like the kind you get at the ballpark- and they came out so hot! Room temperature ketchup is perfect on these but there's other sauces available. They have boba tea and it made the restaurant have the most wonderful smell (even though I don't even like boba tea!) I will definitely be back, but I'm tentatively claiming this to be a GEM. Do not share food with your partner, go ahead and get your own!!

This past Friday, I was dropping off donations at The Foundry, and noticed that Hit Different was…read moreright across the highway. I jumped at the chance to try this place out because of the reviews of other Yelpers. The restaurant is sitting on the corner of Pelham Parkway and County Road 68 East, across from The Foundry Superthrift Outlet and Dollar General, and next door to TherapySouth. It is a nice sized place and the atmosphere is welcoming. I was helped by Dyron, who seemed like he never knew a stranger. He was so kind to everyone, including those on the phone. I even heard him say, "So we got your dad covered - what can I get started for YOU?" He was excited when he found out I was a "newbie". I love the menu. Each item has some form of "hit" in the name - slappin', crackin', slammin', and more. I ended up with the "Bussin' Burger" and a side of fries to go (since I was heading back to work). The food is cooked upon ordering, so my meal was nice and hot when I left. And I am here to tell you, the name of the burger was totally accurate! It was delicious - seasoned very well, and the perfect amount of toppings. The fries were good, but that burger - so good! No wonder Hit Different is a 2026 Shelby County Small Business of the Year Nominee! They deserve it and then some! Do yourself a favor, listen to the other Yelpers, and head down Highway 31 for an amazing meal at Hit Different! I am going back!

We went to Hit Different the other day for lunch and it was so good! My pulled pork sandwich was…read moreperfectly seasoned and had tasty barbecue sauce on a nice warm not soggy bun! The okra was ok, it could have used more seasoning. The Mac and cheese...man that was tasty. Thick and hot with long strings of cheese.

This place has grown on me. Pros: Food is delicious. I…read morehaven't had a bad dish in the times I've visited. I stick with the salmon, and they know how to cook it to my liking. Cons: Pricing. If I'm gonna pay for an upscale experience, give me real plates, real cups and real silverware to go with it, not the plastic stuff. Also, gratuity is added automatically to every ticket, regardless of party size. I'm a tipper, but I don't like being forced to do it upfront regardless of how service may be. To me, that sometimes equals poor service because the server knows that she's gonna get a tip regardless of performance. Overall, this is a place I visit every now and again. The night vibe isn't for me, but I enjoy the daytime visits. I like to support minority businesses, so I will be back on occasion.

The food was absolutely delicious! I had the whole fried snapper with candied yams and macaroni and…read morecheese. The macaroni looked very light in color, but don't let that fool you, it was flavorful, creamy, and very well prepared. Everything on the plate was seasoned nicely and satisfying. That said, there were a few things about the atmosphere that took away from the experience for me. The restaurant was extremely dark inside, and the music was much louder than necessary, making it difficult to fully relax and enjoy the meal. I was also caught off guard by customers smoking marijuana indoors. I'm pretty sure I left with a contact high while writing this review. I do think it would be helpful for the establishment to make guests aware of that at the entrance so people can decide beforehand whether that environment is for them.

It's a fast casual restaurant where you order at the register and they bring out your food. I got the pulled pork sandwich with a side of mac and cheese. I chose the lighter version with one side and I loved that they had that option. The pork was tasty and tender and paired perfectly with the soft bun. The mac and cheese was good, but nothing crazy. The red neck nachos were the perfect appetizer to split and they were topped with bbq, queso, jalepenos, and we added the pulled pork. Perfect spot for lunch or dinner!

The portions are great size, the inside is clean, and all the workers are very nice.
