    The food is cafeteria style but they also have a drive thru. The service is outstanding! The ambiance is normal.

    Long wait for an over cooked steak. Salad was weird and had like 3 boxes of raisins on it. Also brought out the wrong dressing.

    We go to Sherry's every time we're in Birmingham...sometimes more than once. I love their food. Everything! The Awesome Slaw is my fave.

    Always a great meal! Never had a bad experience here! Great owners, terrific staff, awesome food!…read moreJust go!

    My friend and I had a fantastic lunch at Union Jack Cafe and I can't say enough good things about…read moreour visit! The British-themed atmosphere is cozy, welcoming, and genuinely makes you want to linger longer. We arrived on a Saturday just after 11 AM and the place was already bustling...a great sign of how much the community enjoys this spot. **Food:** - I had the Traditional Burger, no bun, and they easily accommodated my request for a lettuce wrap. The burger was beautifully cooked--crispy on the edges and juicy inside, with the extra pickles I asked for. - The House Potato Salad is hands-down my favorite side here: perfectly seasoned and generously portioned. - My friend got the Fish & Chips and raved about the crispy, perfectly-cooked fish and the addictively good house-made tartar sauce with lots of dill (pickle lovers take note!). - She enjoyed her fries and iced tea, while I loved my hot tea. They serve Twinings teas, which are my favorite. My only wish was for a classic teacup and saucer (rather than a Styrofoam cup) to complete the authentic British feel. **Service and Experience:** - Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful, from accommodating special orders to promptly bringing refills on drinks and providing extra sauces with a smile. - We placed our order at the counter and our food arrived at our table piping hot and fresh, never left sitting in a window. - Although the restaurant was busy, we never felt rushed and were encouraged to sit and chat as long as we liked, which felt very authentically British. **Menu Variety:** - Union Jack has something for everyone: a wide range of burgers (like Black & Blue with blue cheese, Mushroom Swiss, Breakfast, and more), as well as sandwiches such as club and chicken, lots of fresh salads, breakfast items, baked muffins and scones, plus daily specials. - They offer both indoor and shaded outdoor seating--a lovely bonus on pleasant days. **Atmosphere:** - The location in Rainbow Plaza offers plenty of parking and the eatery is spotlessly clean inside. The warm, small-town vibe and British decor make this a cozy place to catch up with a friend or enjoy a leisurely meal. **Insider Tips:** - Try the potato salad and the fish & chips--they're local favorites for good reason. - Don't be shy about customizing your order; the staff handles special requests graciously. - If you go on a nice day, consider the shady outdoor tables for a true cafe experience. Union Jack Cafe is a true neighborhood gem with consistently delicious food, generous hospitality, and a community-focused spirit that's worth supporting. Highly recommended for anyone in Rainbow City or passing through. I'll absolutely be returning often, and encouraging everyone I know to do the same!

    How have I never been here before?!? This place was packed OUT for lunch, too!! Classic southern…read morecafeterias will always have my heart, and this one was pretty good. The food line moved pretty quick, they obviously have a lot of regulars. I had the fried chicken (which was impressively puffed up, but could have used some more flavor/spice), creamed corn, fried okra, and mac and cheese. They earned their five stars on that mac and cheese alone. Everywhere else (I know I sound crazy here) makes it too cheesy. My preferred, home cooked mac is much eggier, lighter in texture. I'll always be a fan of creamed corn. My dad and I split a slice of the toasted coconut pie, which was scrumptious. I've had so many good coconut things lately, I'm starting to think I don't dislike coconut. My dad said the fried green tomatoes were pretty good. This is kinda a hike out from Birmingham proper, but if I'm ever in the area again, I'll certainly be back.

    Five stars for the food, especially their fried green tomatoes! They have typical "southern comfort…read morefoods." If you want to feel like you're eating at grandma's house, go here. It's the only place I've found that is up to par with my grandmother's home-cooking. And, that says a lot! I'm very fond of what she serves our family. Service is good at Irondale Cafe, southern hospitality! Atmosphere is cafeteria style, like stepping back in time. If you want to see what it really looks like, watch the movie Whistle Stop Cafe. They filmed it at this location. Not only do people come here for the food, but for that reason too. It's a major tourist attraction. They move you through the line pretty quickly, but it may be out the door and down the street. It's definitely a place you need to try, at least once in your life. To say you've been, if nothing else. But, I will add, locals dine here quite frequently, and I would too, if I were a local resident.
