    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    The Red Snapper with caper sauce, paired with Lemon Greek Potatoes and Stewed Green Beans, was absolutely delicious and bursting with flavor. The customer service was exceptional. I would definitely return!

    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.

    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.

    So good! Came here for a birthday dinner for a friend and it truly never disappoints. Everything is always so fresh! Our server was incredible and took great care of our large group and birthday girl. It's bright and clean in the restaurant, and restrooms are well maintained. The pork pita and hummus were delicious!

    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.

    This is my new favorite Greek food! Everything I've tried has been phenomenal from the half chicken to the frozen Greek yogurt. The restaurant is bright and cheery, with a laidback, upscale vibe. Our service is always fast and friendly. I would highly recommend this place.

    Nice dining experience. The waitress was very accommodating. The ambiance of the restaurant was very laid back. We discussed returning to eat outside or order and l take our orders to the. Park. The food was tasty. I had salmon with Mac and cheese and Lima beans. All was tasty.

    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.

    Oh wow! So glad to have this establishment! I don't like what the "national bowl restaurant"…read more supports so not giving them my money! This place is better, food looks fresh, they refill the line often so everything looks and tastes better. For the price I was extremely happy with the freshly made bowl I ordered.

I understand their policy that delayed getting inside the bathroom. The area is full of unfortunate unhomed individuals. Therefore, to maintain a clean and healthy environment for customers, it has to be locked. I'm cautious about parking downtown, but I lucked up on a space right in front.

We were seated promptly handed menus and about 30 seconds later approached by the waitress for drink orders. We asked for a drink menu as there was nothing to advertise what drinks they were serving.

We ordered drinks and she returned 2 mins later to take our food order. We ordered appetizers, salad and main courses. The drinks came quickly, the salads came right after and then about 3 mins later, the appetizers came out. 3 mins after that, the main courses arrived so we had plates stacked everywhere on the table and quickly tried to finish our salads and appetizers before the main dish got cold. The waitress never returned to the table until she brought the bill. The plates were all cleared by someone else. We saw her leave a bill at the table next to us and wait until they checked it over and figured out a payment method, so when she arrived at our table we just handed her a credit card. The food was average but the overall experience was terrible. I realize she was probably new and this may have been her first night but some training would go a long way! For $180 dinner, we expected a lot more.

Al's is right by UAB's campus and serves American and Mediterranean food. Their exterior is nice in theory, with a fountain and a pretty fence, but it needs some cleaning up. Their parking lot could also be better. It's a small lot hidden behind the building with some potholes and invisible parking lines. The interior is quite small, but they still have enough seating. I came in with the intention of trying a vegan menu item, but I was informed by a kind man working behind the desk that he wasn't sure what they had that was vegan. He asked another employee if they had falafel at the moment, but they didn't. He was very helpful, but I was still disappointed that they didn't have falafel since I've tried it before and enjoyed it. I continued to look at the menu and finally decided on the veggie burger. The price was nine dollars and some change, which was baffling to me as I only ordered the burger and nothing else. I only had to wait a couple of minutes for my order, and I took it to go. The burger was packaged with care, large in size, and had plenty of toppings. The burger tasted good and didn't have that weird taste that some vegetarian meat patties have. I really enjoyed the bun of the burger in particular since it was really soft, not soggy, and had lots of sesame seeds. The veggie burger is a pretty good vegetarian option on their menu!
