    I made it over to brunch that was recommended by a coworker and he was right... it's amazing! Located in downtown Homewood, the location is on the corner and offers great sitting on the patio, bar or inside. Since I was enjoying a solo Mother's Day brunch I was sat at the bar. The menu is expansive and with the all you can eat brunch you can try a lot. It's a lot of food so come with an appetite. I also selected the mimosa option which was great. Service is good but they are busy so you may have to remind them of your next order. Try it! It's so worth it!

    They have the cutest happy hour in town, and the best espresso martini. Restaurant is gorgeous and the staff is friendly!

    This place is amazing for brunch--the food, ambiance, and staff truly complement each other. You have an hour and a half to dine for $55, which includes mimosas, or $42 if you choose not to have them. Every dish is beautifully presented, and the flavors really stand out, making it a perfect choice for a Sunday brunch. The restaurant is very clean, and the servers are attentive and friendly. There is a bit of a rush, but it's really up to you how much you want to eat during the time allotted. The oysters are my favorite--you can have up to 12. The shrimp and grits are outstanding, and the presentation is spot on. Make sure to make a reservation, as it can be difficult to get a table otherwise. There's parking across the street if you arrive early, but by noon the place gets very busy.

    This is probably my new fav brunch spot in town!!! Everything I tried was exceptional! They were out of a few dishes I wanted to try , so I have an excuse to return much sooner. I absolutely loved the staff! So fun and provided excellent service from start to finish. They made sure that I had everything I needed. During my visit on a Sunday , there was a nice size crowd but I was able to find a seat at the bar. I had the best time! Great food, drinks and service!!! Highly recommend checking out the weekend brunch. You won't regret it!

    Came with SO for their Bottomless Tapas Brunch. It's $48 a person (plus tax and tips, of course) for unlimited mimosas with bottomless brunch and $35 for just Bottomless Brunch. What's kind of amusing to me is they put big bold "complimentary mimosas" on the menu even though it really isn't technically, not without a bunch of strings, as obvious in the pricing. Somebody needs to explain to them what "complimentary" means, ha. They do take reservations and I would recommend making one if you are set on eating there but don't want to wait. We didnt have a reservation but got lucky and was able to sit down right away. This was a bit past 10:30am on a Sundsy morning and the place was over 90% full. Staff there is super nice and efficient, definitely 5 stars in that regard. This being my first time there, I tried as many dishes as I could. A huge fan of the fried green tomato, steak biscuit, and beignets. Got multiple of these and would definitely recommend. Thought the bacon and sausage balls, shrimp and grits, and the fish were terrible. Bacon is floppy and I am a crispy girl, so that's definitely a personal preference thing and you may love it. The grit cake in the shrimp and grits were cold and hard, a definite no. The fish was over fried. Another thing of note is that at not even 11am (and their brunch runs from 10am to 2:30am), they were already out of the quail and almost out of the parfait and the oysters. So if you come at noon, you are already down three things you probably wanted to at least try! That's definitely a problem IMO. These factors caused me to feel like 4-stars is the best I can do, especially considering the cost. However, if you have never been, I would definitely recommend you to give them a try! The stuff that's good are really good and you could just fill up on those haha.

    I went during Saturday brunch hours. The price is $35 with no alcohol or $48, which includes approximately five mimosas. If you choose $35, you can add alcohol at the individual amount listed on the menu. The tapas are unlimited; however, you can only order one at a time. They come as individual/single amounts, so they are not shareable. The server usually comes around pretty fast to take the next order. The location isn't a large space, so be prepared to wait to sit if you don't have reservations or if they have a full house. They usually have some bar seating available if it is a packed house. It's not always packed, so go check it out!

    I went back on Saturday for a friend's birthday brunch and we had a great time. It was a first time experience for a few of the ladies and they're already coordinating a second visit. Our waitress, Victoria, was such a delight! She was friendly, patient, and gave good menu suggestions. The patio was pretty packed but she made sure we felt taken care of. The Standard team also sent my friend a delicious french toast with a candle in it :) Super sweet gesture and it made her feel special.

    The bottomless brunch is definitely worth it if you eat enough to get your money's worth. It's very quaint and decorated nicely. They were out of a few things by the time I got there but everything else was pretty good. The mimosas are STRONG, the food is tasty and service is good. My favorite item was the beignets and least favorite was the chorizo hash. I would skip out on the chorizo. I definitely want to come back and try the items I missed out on! Will definitely be back soon.

    Solid location, ambiance and restaurant is nice. Weekend brunch is different but you get full (especially if you're having mimosas.) You get a total of 5 mimosas (of course you can pay for more or any other drink.) Unlimited food during your hour and 30 minute timeframe, except for 3 options (oysters and 2 other items...those are limited to 3 order per person.) Wait staff is so nice and friendly. No modifications to the items (I was able to get some items w/o eggs or crab) but they wouldn't cook the oysters for me. Tehehehe. 2nd time going, definitely would go again! And plllleaasse get Toni's cinnamon roll!!!!

    Quail + Waffle

    Went to brunch on a Saturday and did the "All You Can Eat Brunch + mimosas" and it was fantastic. You could order as much as you wanted and the quality was surprising considering it's ayce. It came out quick and everything tasted fresh. I highly suggest getting the quail and waffle and the steak and biscuits. Or jusy get everything if you're sharing! It's a really good deal if you plan on eating a lot and also want bottomless mimosas (you can pay less if you go without mimosas). I'm glad something like this is in Birmingham because it's a lot of fun and tastes great!

    Best brunch in town. Bottomless tapas with an extensive menu of high quality dishes. I've been 3x and it is amazing every time. 35$ so on the pricier side for brunch but worth every penny. My favorites are the caprese with burratta, quail n waffles, French toast, steak n biscuits. The amazing thing is that nearly every dish I've had there is a winner which is super rare. I went with a big group and have now officially tried all 19 different dishes. They even have raw oysters.

    We made it to Wooden City for dinner on Thursday night. We made reservations for our party through…read morethe link on the restaurant's website (Resy), and the process was straightforward and easy to modify when our party size and time changed at the last minute. Wooden City is located off Morris Avenue in a shared row of older buildings. There's a private parking lot behind the building, and you can have your parking ticket validated at the restaurant. The location and vibe on Morris Avenue are really neat and uniquely Birmingham. It's a great addition to the city's dining scene. Our party of four started with drinks and shared three appetizers: the Bread and Butter, Heirloom Tomatoes, and Steak Tartare. My favorite was the Bread and Butter. It's house-made focaccia served with a sun-dried tomato spread and an oil dipping sauce. The bread was amazing. For my entrée, I ordered the Peel-and-Eat Shrimp from the appetizer menu. It was fabulous--a generous portion of large shrimp that were perfectly seasoned and grilled. For dessert, we shared the Chocolate Mousse and Blueberry/Blackberry Crisp. The crisp was my favorite. It was served hot with a scoop of vanilla ice cream--an excellent way to finish the meal. While Wooden City doesn't have a large menu, everything we tried was very well done. I definitely recommend giving it a try, but don't be in a hurry. The service was a little slow during our visit.

    This place was recommended by a local Birminghammian and it was a good recommendation. Three of us…read morewere working somewhere nearby and we took an Uber here and it was kinda packed. We snagged some seats at the bar and had some drinks and shortly after that, our table was ready. And they were able to keep everything on one check, which was nice. No need to settle the tab and start a new one at the table. And the old fashioned I had was delicious. For food, we started with the Hungarian Hot Stuffed Peppers. These were pretty good and the heat gradually snuck up on you as you ate them. I don't know if it was because the heat was more intense as you worked your way towards the stem or just a gradual burn. Either way, these were good and worth the heartburn later. The thick focaccia helped with the burn a little. Speaking of heartburn, the pepperoni pizza may have contributed a bit to that too, but again, totally worth it. The cup-and-char pepperoni was charred nicely as were the edges and bottom! I love a nice bottom! These were easy to share between two of us. Service was amazing from the bartender to the waiter to the uber driver (who didn't really count, but nice job, man). We felt welcomed and I can see why the place was crowded on a Tuesday evening.

    Another excellent addition your list of Thai restaurants in Birmingham!…read more They've only been there for 6 years and I finally made it. Even though I didn't dine in, I appreciated the beautiful decor and the attention to detail. Gone from their early days during the pandemic when they were take out only to their newly renovated and larger dining area. There's nice bar with stools nearly centered in the restaurant. Employees are more friendly than you can imagine. Located on 280 near the Greystone entrance, YYST is on the right in a small quaint strip shopping area that's raised "above" 280. So if you're driving by you can see YYST by looking up. There's no outdoor seating, but plenty of tables and chairs inside with seating at the bar. They are quite proud of their Yelpies 2025 award for "Beloved Birmingham Business" which sits at the front entrance. Their menu is comprehensive with the right amount of dishes to satisfy. Every "Thai" place seems to have their own take on most dishes and YYST is no different. Their "recommended" entrees include Mango fish, Pad Thai Chakangrao, Massamun Short Rib, Pad Thai Wings and Panang New York Strip. Then they also have "Signature Plates" whose menu descriptions had my mouth watering. There's also stir fry, curries, salads, and even a lunch menu. Since I wasn't dining, I was going to do my litmus test and try their version they call Beef Drunken Uncle noodle. I also ordered their Fresh Basil Shrimp Rolls, and Bangkok market fried rice. I waited at the bar for about 10 minutes when my packaged meals arrived. I was offered a glass of cool water as I waited at the bar. The rolls were wrapped in saran wrap and I would guess were probably made a couple of days ago. Nothing wrong with that except I got unlucky and rice paper wrapper was almost crunchy. They were a little heavy on the use of lettuce, but each had 4 large fresh shrimp. The taste wasn't anything spectacular BUT their version of the dipping peanut sauce saved it. Yom Yom Yom! The fried rice was delicious. Tossed in a wok with eggs, onions, chinese broccoli and their house sauce, I had beef added as the protein and it was delicious. My Drunken noodle was very good! This traditional street food inspired dish is a classic. Wide noodles tossed with snap beans, garlic, onions, bell peppers with thai chili and basil, their version is quite good! It had great flavor and an excellent representation of the drunken noodle. Next time I might have to pay extra for a fried egg on top. Yom Yom Yom Yom! I'm glad I finally visited YYST. I am looking forward to returning and this time dining in. The Panang New York Strip and Mango Fish have my name on them!

    The food is pretty and tastes good, but is definitely expensive for street food or Thai food…read more I understand this is our economy now, but just as it is hard for them to provide quality at a good price, it is really hard for most people to pay for quality at a good price. Not only are establishments struggling we are too. I definitely don't eat out as much as I used to. Even Taco Bell costs upwards of if $15 these days. My bill was $50 for an appetizer, soup & mocktail.

I also really enjoyed the open-kitchen concept, as I always like being able to see the food being prepared. My only concern was with a couple of things I noticed in the kitchen. Since the kitchen is completely open and visible to guests, I think extra attention should be given to sanitation and overall presentation. I noticed one of the cooks drinking while preparing food, and another wiped his nose with his arm while working. Although he didn't use his hand, it still left me feeling a little uneasy. When guests can see directly into the kitchen, those small details really matter. Aside from that, we enjoyed our experience, and I do think this is a place worth trying at least once. The atmosphere, service, and recommendations from our server were definitely highlights of our visit.
