This review is specifically for the catered/box lunches we recently enjoyed from Tasty Town. Each lunch was boxed separately and included the silverware packet. That's a huge plus; the number of times I've seen referees having to pass on the side because they didn't have utensils! The entree was a chicken pita. It did have a few fresh onions, but I enjoyed them since I didn't have to be the one dragon breathing around the field all day. We did have a choice of roasted potatoes or basmati rice. The potatoes went much quicker than the rice; I had the potatoes and they were fantastic. There was also a tray of chocolate chip cookies provided. I don't think they were frash made; they looked similar to other restaurants generic chocolate chip cookies. They were a nice addition to the lunch, though. They also provided sweet and unsweet tea in gallon jugs. read more

Recently had Tasty Town as a catered lunch for a sporting event. Our lunch was a chicken pita (wrapped like taco of sorts) and I got roasted potatoes as my side. They also brought a large side box of chocolate chip cookies that were individually wrapped. Everyone loved the wraps, though the fresh onions were a little rough on some of us. Others took heed and removed a couple so their afternoon running up and down the field wasn't filled with regret. The potatoes were a hit; wish I could get them again. read more

Have come here several times! It's a seemingly odd location for a restaurant, but the food is pretty solidly delicious. It is essentially an elevated Taziki's I came most recently and sat on the patio outside, which can definitely get pretty loud with cars driving by, but has a great view of Railroad Park. Service has always been good. I love to treat the menu like tapas and share apps and entrees with the table. I most recently had the meatballs, which were really good. The beans are fantasitc too. read more

The good: Beautiful, open air lounge and restaurant. Plenty of seating. Great for date nights, solo dinners, or celebrating a special occasion. Food was tasty. My Greek salad was fresh and filling. Fair prices. The not-so-good: My date's veggies were cold. Not cool...cold. I tasted both the beans and the potatoes and, while they were very flavorful...both would have been even better had they been at the least warm. He told our server, and he received a fresh bowl of potatoes that were piping hot. This made them even better. He said his food was good overall after this correction was made. My pastichio did not live up to my expectations. I've eaten pastichio every year from the Greek Festival and they have me spoiled. While this version was tasty, it lacked what I have come to expect when I order this dish. It was basically noodles with a little meat sauce and a little cheese on top. I would not order this again. The server took too long in between checking on us. We sat waiting on him for refills and our check way too long. There's a fine art when it comes to this, and he did not master this. He was nice though so that helped. Overall, the experience was just okay for me. While the food was tasty and the aesthetic was fun and trendy, I think my expectations were too high. However, I will visit again in the near future and try another dish. read more

Beautiful, light-filled space with tons of windows and modern decor. Weekday lunch with a group. We sat in the lounge area while they prepared a table. The server was friendly and responsive, if a bit nervous. Had the hummus to start and it was amazing!! And the pita was fresh! I could have just eaten both of those. Had the sautéed gulf shrimp next. They were good but they were *drowning* in butter. My Greek salad was tasty but the vinaigrette was a little too salty. The fresh hummus and pita and all the windows were worth the four stars. read more

Don't let the name fool you! Tasty Town is a great spot with a fun midcentury modern vibe. Happy hours 4-6 PM M-F and they even serve brunch on the weekends. Food is solid and service is good. The bar is a feature and looks so inviting. I have eaten here for breakfast, lunch and dinner- as well as for events. The location next to Railroad Park and Regions Field makes it a great spot before or after events. Give Tasty Town a try- despite the name. read more

I really enjoy going to Tasty Town for lunch. I normally get the catfish lunch meal with the Village Salad and their French fries, and it's always exactly what I'm craving. I love that the catfish is crispy on the outside but still tender and flavorful on the inside. I also really like the Village Salad it's fresh and light, which balances out the heavier parts of my meal. I usually pair it with their French fries because I can't resist the crispy, golden texture. Excellent service and dining experience. Great spot for business dinners or lunch with friends. I've tried looking at their vegetarian options too, and while I don't usually get them, I think they have some solid choices. I like that I can customize a salad or get a few sides to make a meal that's vegetarian-friendly. I think Tasty Town does a good job of offering something for everyone. I personally stick to my usual catfish meal, but I feel like I could explore more of their options if I wanted to try something different. Overall, I really enjoy my lunches there, and I always feel satisfied and happy with my choices. read more

If you're craving a little slice of the Mediterranean right in the heart of Birmingham, Tasty Town is where it's at. This spot brings serious Greek vibes: fresh, flavorful, and full of soul. We had the beef souvlaki plate, and it was perfection. The beef was juicy, seasoned just right, and grilled to smoky goodness. The spanakopita was flaky and rich, and those lemon potatoes? Tangy, tender, and totally addictive. We also sipped on the Tasty Town gin and tonic, and it was as refreshing as a breeze off the Aegean--crisp, herbaceous, and the perfect pairing. The service? Friendly, fast, and full of Southern charm. You can tell this team takes pride in what they do. Tasty Town feels like a little vacation right off 20th Street. We'll definitely be back. OPA, y'all! read more

We were in a hurry after spending the morning at the hospital for tests; only to return to the hospital in less than an hour for a doctor appointment. They seated us quickly, took our drink and food order; and we were out the door in 40minutes! Record time! We really appreciated that and our server was AMAZING. The food was incredible! My dad got the vegetarian pita, my mom the meatball Pita and I ordered the chicken pita. She even gave us to go cups for our drinks. read more

We came into town to catch the show the Waitress and found Tasty Town before the show for dinner. We arrived at 5pm and from the time we arrived we were received with a warm welcome and just loved the atmosphere and vibe. Our server was the sweetest woman ever recommending drinks and helping us with the menu items and let me just say she did not disappoint. We absolutely loved every bite. She kept checking on us throughout our time there and we just had a fantastic meal and couldn't stop gobbling up everything. The ingredients are so fresh and tasted delicious . A definite stop if your in Birmingham and you have to try these desert looking donuts that I forget what there called (I'm sorry) but were absolutely delicious. My husband loved the coffee as well. Do your self a favor stop you won't regret it. read more

Update: did another pick-up order and was so disappointed. Giving them some grace and giving 3 stars. I walked in and had to wait quite a while to finally got acknowledged. It was kind of uncomfortable. No one was at the front hostess area. People made eye contact but did not offer to help. Finally someone helped, and I told them I was picking up a to-go order. She was perky and sweet. I checked my bag when I got to the car and realized I had no utensils. I went back in and asked, and they questioned it, as if I was not looking carefully enough. No...please, give me some utensils so I can eat this? They did. Once I finally opened the food, I realized it looked different compared to before. The meatballs lacked the sauce that my previous order had. It looked like a totally different dish. It was not nearly as enjoyable. I got the potatoes again and tried an order of the beans. Both were just okay this time. I was so sad because I thought this would be a good go-to kind of place. read more

True to what the other reviewers have said, the food is excellent quality, service is good but the portions are tiny and waaaay over priced. I have been here several times with others and to sit at the bar to try some appetizers and always leave regretting that I chose to come and dine. The servers are knowledgable about the menu, yes...almost a bit too much. Several occasions, without being asked if I had been there before or if I had questions, they legitimately went through EVERY. SINGLE. ITEM. ON. THE. MENU....INCLUDING THE SIDES. I mean holy overkill. They do oooze with pride over how everything is made to order from scratch, the minutes of each ingredient and some of the cooking steps... So after the mini cooking lesson that was unrequested, the ordering occurs. Service is fast and yes, the flavors are well balanced, tasty blahblahblah like others stated. But my god...think about the portion size that you would expect to receive after viewing the price point then decrease that by at least 1/3 of the size. ESPECIALLY the drinks. I'm talking maybe 5 sips for a $14 cocktail. I have very small hands and can almost touch my fingers around the widest part of the cocktail glass. Not for $14, no thank you. The next time I go back is if someone else is pay. read more

We tried the hummus and tzatziki appetizers as well as the braised lamb pitas and then topped it off with a trio of desserts. we also tried the spanakopita and it did not disappoint!The pitas were soft and warm, the hummus was topped with roasted chickpeas and I have never had a more decadent slice of chocolate cake that tasted like someone's grandma made it from scratch! Service was stellar, from the hostess to the management and it was pristinely clean. Great vibe and the best Greek food I have had in the southeast! I grew up in an area with a large Greek community and I finally found someplace that can complete with what I grew up eating. read more

Been here twice now and the service is great, the restaurant is very clean and open. Got the tzatziki dip with pita bread (out of this word delicious) Got the lamb chops on the first visit and it was amazing. For the second visit I got the steak and eggs and this was not great, the lamb loin was well done so the flavor was not good. I'll still go back though and this time I'll avoid the steak and eggs. Great restaurant though! read more

Love love love this restaurant! Staff were super friendly and helpful. I ordered the snapper, lemon potatoes and small Greek salad. Initially wanted the branzino but they didn't have anymore. My food was delicious. My mom ordered the chicken and the chicken was so moist and tender! Make sure you ask for a side of gravy with the chicken! Highly recommend and can't wait to come back to try the branzino. read more

Oh Yelp! It's Christmas Eve! We are a party of 9 coworkers and family meeting for lunch. There are a lot of newbies in our group, but Tasty town does not disappoint. For starters we got all the appetizers, meatballs, spanakopita, zucchini fritters, humus and baba ganoush with veggies and warm pita!!! Delicious! Everybody is raving. All this stuff good. I got your veggie plate with greens, spinach and rice, green beans and Greek fries. I didn't like the green beans in tomato sauce. I traded them for the lemon potatoes. So good. Two people got catfish, 5 people got Greek chicken and one person got veggie pita. Everything was fresh and good. Thanks to Tiffany for her wonderful service. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Thanks TT! read more

First time for a meal here and it was a very nice experience. Ali was a wonderful server and very friendly. The braised lamb pita with the lemon potatoes was very good. The chicken pita for my wife was also good. The small Greek salad was excellent. We finished off the meal with piece of chocolate cake. The cake was moist and delicious. A very large piece easy to share. Definitely recommend. Parking can be interesting but worth the effort. read more

This was a new and quick option that I selected to DoorDash my mama. I have not been to the restaurant yet so I cannot speak to the vibe of the location. However, because of my mama's review, I will have to stop by. She told me that the food came packed very well. She received the 1/4 chicken with the lemon potatoes and the green beans (in red sauce), and the chicken pita with seasoned rice. Each of the sides had their own container, which she liked. Her chicken was flavorful and really good, and she truly enjoyed the lemon potatoes. In her words, they were "bright and delicious". The chicken pita was good with the same flavorful chicken that she ate on the "meat and two" plate, and the seasoned rice was good too. She said the only thing she did not really care for was the green beans in the red sauce. She said it was good, but it was very salty. Since she eats a low sodium diet, the salt in the green beans overpowered her taste buds. Other than that, she would recommend this restaurant and she would want me to bring food from here again. Thank you Tasty Town for making my mama's DoorDash delicious! read more

I've been here dozens of times but never have did a review. This time I was there with a group and Bella served us. She could be an ambassador for the place and was super friendly and helpful. We were there earlier around five or so and there were few customers which was nice because we could all talk easily while we had salads, hummus and taziki. we all ordered different things for our entree and everyone's was perfect and arrived quickly. As we ate the crowd slowly filtered in and was seated quickly. In all my times here I can find nothing bad to say. Even the parking is great. Ask for Bella and you are in for a great time. read more

I have tried tasty town on several occasions now. It is very close to my job so I pop in for lunch on my break or to grab dinner on my way home. During lunch hour the restaurant is sometimes busy but for super fast service I sit at the bar. I always see new people in there when I go. I'm predicting that staff turn over isn't that great. New bartenders and servers always. I've only tried a few things off the menu. The side salads are super good and flavorful, I tried the 1/2 baked chicken but didn't realize it was chicken on the bone, the fried and sautéed shrimp is good as well. Not sure about authenticity but I like it! read more

My wife and I went on date night and it was our first visit. The ambiance was pretty cool and very clean. My wife had the seabass and I had the zucchini fritters and pita/hummus. Everything was delicious. Hands down the best hummus I have ever had. The waitress was attentive and polite. read more

We've had this place on our radar for a while now, but haven't made it over here to give it a try until last night. We walked in and were immediately greeted. After being seated, we decided to get the zucchini fritters for an appetizer. They came out with a tahini butter and had a honey dripping on them and were very good. For our food, I got the half chicken with the lemon potatoes and their take on mac and cheese. The chicken was delicious, as were the potatoes. Their mac and cheese was decent, but I wasn't wild about it. My wife liked her meal as well - the lamb sandwich. They have many other meals on their menu that I'd like to try, so I hope we get to come back soon. read more

I haven't written a review in a while. Just had to make a comeback. Tasty Town is NOT AT ALL what I expected. Don't get me wrong, the food was amazing, but there's just so much more to this place. Its diversity of people and fun ambiance are infectious. Smiling faces and happy music everywhere you look and see. Tasty Town is intentional goodness. This is my spot in the heart of Birmingham going forward. read more

This really lived up to the hype for me! The grilled chicken pita was SO delicious. Chicken tasted chargrilled, pita was crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside - better than usual pita. You can tell it's homemade. The olive oil they drizzled on it added such a great flavor too. The orzo mac n cheese is what caught my eye the most (as I was deciding what to get before I got there - as always). I'm a mac n cheese lover through and through but never had it with orzo and it is life changing. (13.5) @madi got the roasted gulf snapper and said it was good but isn't dying to get again. As one of the most expensive things on the menu, I imagine this needs more of a wow factor. (36.5) We got chocolate cake (8.5) and Loukoumades (Greek doughnuts) (7.5) and wish we would've just stuck to the chocolate cake. The doughnuts lacked flavor. Service was friendly but we did have to ask for refills several times. She reviewed how we wanted checks to be split, went and got the checks, and they were still wrong. We'd give it another try for sure! read more

Very disappointed they changed the recipe of the Greek potatoes which I go around telling everyone they're the best potatoes I've had in my life I ordered two sides of it Tuesday and unfortunately they weren't at all like I remembered What I had last time was light and tender with a cream sauce What I got this go were over done too lemony and greasy Overall this is a great establishment that needs to work on consistency Maybe the potatoes got reheated too many times read more

I was so hoping Tasty Town was on the upswing with my last visit. Our experience with this visit was not a good one. My wife and I came in the day after Valentine's Day for lunch. We got drinks at the bar. We then proceeded to get the lamb pita and the lamburger. We were informed that they were out of both items. If I would have been told before ordering the drinks I would have come back another time. Because we ordered the drinks we decided to get the meat hummus. To our disappointment there was barely any meat in the hummus. I don't know who ordereds the food for the restaurant but I would not think these two menu items would not be available the day after Valentine's Day. I also had to get an IPA from a can because draft was out. The bartender also left a dirty napkin next to my wife by accident and never removed it until we had paid our tab. I am disappointed because the lamburger is really good, but based on our experience we likely will not come back. read more

Found this gem on Yelp and it did not disappoint. The flavor of the food was amazing. Let me start by sharing the previous night I had Taziki's and the chicken wasn't good- in fact, it was rubbery. Tasty Town owns up to its name. The chicken was "Tasty". I literally could taste the grill flavor. The fries were surprisingly great and didn't require ketchup. Lastly, the freaking chocolate cake was sooo moist and fresh. I couldn't eat all of it in one setting. I appreciate the friendliness of this place and the freshness the food offered. I'll keep this place in mind if I ever have an opportunity to visit downtown again. read more

Food was pretty tasty! Went with the Greek chicken on my visit paired with salad and yummy lemon drenched potatoes. For the price, I've tasted better, but this restaurant makes up for it with the glorious inside design, quality food service and lovely outdoor patio and their Instagramable seating. Some of the passerby traffic and balcony action from the Lumen residents up above is a little questionable considering all eyes are on Birmingham's giant backyard public space Railroad Park, but that's no real fault to them. read more
