They serve breakfast all day and the lunch/dinner specials are great. It's a hole in the wall place but it works. There is no dining area perse so it best to get take out. The gentlemen there were nice and courteous and offered their best seller which is the fat mama burger which is two ground 1/4lbs chuck patties, bacon, shrimp, provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, ketchup, mayo, and mustard. It was delicious! The size of it was monstrous! It was magnificent! I had to cancel my order of fries! Lol They have beverages here but not on tap; everything is in a can. That's a good thing in my opinion. The prices of everything is very reasonable and manageable. The service is top notch but what I enjoyed the most was the conversation and recommendation as this was my first, but not last, time visiting. I'm so mad I'm just now trying them. I'll be trying their breakfast next time because I saw a plate the owner was making and it made my mouth water like a Doberman Pinscher finally getting that bone. They accept cash, debit, and credit, the latter via square and they'll email or text you a receipt if needed. Very convenient and practical. They also do catering so if you have a function coming up, give them a call. All in all, this was a great first time experience. Great recommendations, quick food service, awesome owner and cook, and worthy of service. Visit these guys ASAP!

I ordered the chicken sandwich and was impressed that it was not shredded but had big chunks of white meat drenched in BBQ sauce. If you've read any of my other reviews, you know I am not prone to giving 5 stars, but Fat Mama has proven itself worthy.

I've seen them in various parts of town so chances are you've seen them around the Birmingham area at least once or twice. Known for their burgers and polish dogs the menu serves up delicious food that's saucy and fresh. They even have some vegan options for you. My go to is the polish dog that comes with a welcomed large polish sausage, onions and peppers drenched in their special sauce. The polish sausage is thick and seasoned with garlic. The hot dog bun and everything in between is a must try!

Big portions of familiar, messy, delicious things, a compact menu, and quick friendly service. It has been around for so long that it's something of an anchor of the local food truck scene, and those who've eaten anything from it probably all hope it sticks around for a long time. It's meat-forward. Big polish sausage dogs covered in chili/debris/perfectly sautéed onions, burgers that are dripping with goodness and heavy when you pick them up. Fries that are always crisp and piping hot. Long term consistent execution. As sure a thing as you're gonna get from a truck. If you see it, and you're hungry, consider yourself blessed.

I tried Aww Shucks for the first time years ago with my best friend and I knew then and there that…read moreit wouldn't be my last time eating it. While visiting a food truck event, I noticed that they were there and I quickly made my way to their truck. I've never tasted corn like theirs and I mean that as the utmost compliment. My best friend ordered the Mexican style street corn and I ordered the buffalo ranch corn. Both were absolutely divine! The workers inside of the food truck were very kind and that made the experience even better. The hype behind Aww Shucks is definitely worth it, the corn is unbelievable. It's almost hard to believe that you're eating corn because of how gourmet it really is. It's the perfect mix of creamy and flavorful and if you haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend it! After seeing that they also make baked potatoes, I will definitely be back to try those!

I was ecstatic when they started the Aww Shucks food truck and of course my excitement went through the roof with their brick and mortar. You want flavorful fire roasted corn? They have it in several different flavors! Be careful it is addictive. I personally get a 10 cob pan most times. You want tacos? See if they are offering them on a taco Tuesday. In the mood for a baker? Baby they have it and it is offering all the flavor! In the mood for a plate of plant based foods? Their hot bar always delivers! They don't skimp on portions, quality or taking your taste buds for a ride. Service has never missed for me. The location is easy to find and I don't have to fight for parking. Make your way to their store front or their food truck. Be sure to check their social media or sign up for their texts to see where they are beforehand. They're super involved within the community and getting out there so they may not have the store front open, but be out in the Bham streets instead.

The Birria tacos are so flavorful that I only get something else when they are out of those. They also are not stingy with the Birria sauce, best in town with that feature.

It was late and it was the only place open on a Sunday night. We had a quesadilla and Asada nachos. The food was very good.

I did not eat my food there because I needed to get home. The nachos without meat were a generous portion with the perfect ratio of chips to toppings. I had to write a review of a food truck for a class, and this food truck was one of very few in Birmingham that offered vegetarian options and was open late. It was hard to find one that was open after I got off work. I would have probably never gone to this place except that it was one of the only options for my assignment, but I will recommend it to others who like to support local businesses and need a quick bite.

This is the first of 4 food reviews I'll be posting this week. So get your lunch and dinner plans…read moreready. Birmingham Restaurant Week has ended and I am happy I got the chance to try some new places so I can tell you all about them. So let's get right into it. First up is The Lil Bougie Foodie INC. What brought me to them is what I saw written all over their food truck. It said Home of the Bougie burger, so I was very intrigued. So I ordered it after asking what all came on it. I don't fully remember what was all on it and unfortunately I tried to find it only but there is no description of it I could find so I'll do my best here. Like I said I ordered The Bougie Burger (A LA Cart). It had cheese, bacon, tomato, pickles, onions, lettuce, and bougie sauce. Oh and two smashed patties. This burger was good. In my own opinion it was lacking just a touch of season and I wish they had given me more of the sauce on the burger it was like I know it's there but wish I had more of it. Also I was disappointed I received bacon bits on my burger instead of actual slices of bacon (not sure what was going on there). Also on the picture it looks like there burgers were served with White American cheese but I received Yellow American (yes they taste different to me), don't get me wrong I love yellow American so it didn't bother me at all. Anyways this burger was very good would 100% get this again and can't wait to try what else they have on the menu. I give the burger a 8.9/10. If you see this food truck parked and serving gone head and hope in the line with me and everyone else because you are about to eat good! Be sure to follow them on social media too!

They also recommended some of their favorites on the menu and what they like to add extra with it. When I went to this food truck I ended up ordering a burger with a fry and drink. I would say I enjoyed my time and food there and will definitely be going back. For the COVID-19 restrictions, since they are in the public they don't really have a preference, which is like a lot of places that I have been before.

Where do I begin?…read more First of all, the restaurant is very colorfully decorated, which instantly brightens the mood. We were able to seat ourselves, and immediately afterwards the waitress brought complimentary salsa and chips as she took our drink and food order. The salsa and chips were very good. The chips were crisp and freshly made and the salsa had just the right amount of kick to it. It was sweet and unique and I could see myself ordering it as a to-go order. For our entrees, I ordered 3 street tacos and cheese dip. My guy ordered the steak fajita plate. After a short wait, our food arrived, hot and fresh off the grill. I wasn't a fan of the pollo taco. It was bland and lacked any type of flavor. However, the campechano and chorizo versions were much better. The cheese dip stayed watered down even after it cooled but had a good flavor to it. I looked up to see my guy reaching for the salt shaker several times. I tasted a small serving of his steak. Yall..,.I kid you not. That steak had no type of seasoning-no salt, no pepper, no nothing had been sprinkled on it. To sum it up...it was overcooked and under seasoned. He kept trying to doctor the dish up by adding salt and pepper but after a while stopped because that should've been done in the cooking of the dish. He only ate a 1/3 of his dish. Upon paying the check, he attempted to share his disappointment with the waitress, who now all of a sudden, doesn't understand English. Keep in mind, we had been communicating with her just fine throughout our time there. Needless to say, we will not be returning to the restaurant location anytime soon. I've visited the truck before and will return there.

I've been a fan/customer way before Whitney had her truck and held pop-ups at events around the city. The food is always fresh and hot since it's made to order. I love how she offers a different menu than what most of the other trucks offer. She even offers a salad option for those that want a lighter fare. If you're looking for burgers or polish sausage...this isn't your truck. But if you want delicious, Creole inspired cuisine, definitely look out for Simone's Kitchen ATL (the truck) at a location near you.
