    Smash Burger with French Fries
    John S.

    Have been wanting to try this for awhile and finally got around to it. I had the Smash Burger with a side of the Parmesan Garlic Fries since they were unfortunately out of Onion Rings. Wait was a reasonable amount of time after ordering. We grabbed cocktails from the Cahaba Brewing Company to go with it and enjoyed it all at a table near one of the (maybe only) working patio heaters since all the inside tables were taken or reserved. Unfortunately there apparently isn't a designated smoking area of the patio area. The burger was excellent and the fries very good which helped with my disappointment about the onion rings. I will be back to try some of their other rotating seasonal options, just wish it was easier to know what is available before making the trip.

    Super fast and friendly service. I was extremely pleased with my encounter at Cahaba's new food truck. As if I needed another reason to love CB! The current will be a permanent fixture at the brewery so this is a plus indeed! I believe they have only officially been open for about a week. I'm sure they have kinks to work out but the food is well made. I absolutely loved the onion rings ! The wings were fried hard as I requested. Only knock for me was the wing sauce was kinda skimpy. More sauce would have really helped with the flavor. I would order both of these items again and I'm definitely looking forward to trying their smash burger & pretzel with beer cheese!! I highly recommend checking this food truck out the next time you're at Cahaba brewing - they send a text when your order is ready.

    Cahaba Brewing has been needing a more regular food truck set up for a while. They have always had amazing food trucks. But I have been there many times hungry during a time one wasn't there. This day we were at Cahaba to watch a soccer game. Pro tip - they are one of the best spots to watch a game since one of the owners is a huge fan. It was around lunch and the family decided to join me. So we got a hodgepodge of things. We got a panini, burger, brat, soft pretzel, fries and onion rings. Not a meal I would want a dietician to evaluate. But a good Saturday treat. Everything was good. But nothing was absolutely spectacular. There was DEFINITELY more than enough food and we ended up with multiple to go boxes. I do recommend the onion rings as a side. You can tell they are made fresh. I am not sure this is a place I will go out of my way for. But if I find myself at Cahaba, I know I have a solid food option now.

    Ice cold  onion rings! ENJOY!

    If you want to find ice cold onion rings and wait over an hour for tiny crunchy burgers, you have found the place!! Not that many people... why on earth would it take so long to make 3 burgers and some onion rings. I hope it gets better soon! They advertise double patty and you better get it because a single patty is like a half. F-terrible!

Parking is primarily street parking in the area, but there is also a public parking deck nearby. I'm unsure what the current cost is for the deck, but it's worth knowing if you're visiting during a busier time. I ordered the fish tacos with black beans and chose the cheese grits as my second side. Everything tasted fresh and had lots of flavor. The real star of the meal, though, was the sweet potato cake. It was incredibly moist and delicious. Honestly, I could've eaten four of them without shame or hesitation. My colleagues ordered burgers and fries. They both really enjoyed their burgers, but neither cared much for the fries. They had also requested a couple additional items after the food arrived, but those items never made it to the table. The decor is bright and fun, though it didn't quite seem to match the style of food being served. Just my personal observation. They also have a robot that helps deliver the food alongside the servers, which felt a little unexpected for the casual atmosphere and southern comfort food vibe. They were fairly busy since it was lunchtime on a Friday, but the wait really wasn't bad at all. Would I go back? Yes. Was it my absolute favorite? No. But there were definitely things I enjoyed, especially that sweet potato cake that nearly made me consider ordering dessert first next time.

Back Forty is huge-with plenty of seating to accommodate large crowds, couples or even families with little ones. There's plenty of big screens to watch the games on, and I would really love to come back during football season to do just that. I ordered their infamous Back 40 cheeseburger on this visit. While it wasn't my favorite, for a brewery it was definitely above average. It was juicy, made to order and fresh. I didn't care for the sauce nor the stringy onions so I would order it plain next time or try something else on the menu. The shoestring fries were well seasoned with something like garlic parmesan. They were my delicious! The staff were friendly and helpful as we placed our orders. This is a cool spot to hang with your friends, drink, eat and watch some sports or watch the trains go by. I enjoyed my visit and I'm looking forward to coming back.

People often host their own little parties and events at the picnic tables here. I came on a Sunday afternoon, and it seemed like a lot of families came for lunch and to hang out after church. The food here is certainly impressive food for a bar to me. I love the wood fired pizzas. I will say, I think the size is a bit awkward. They're a little too big to be a single serving, and a little too small to be for two people. The beer is all good. Service at the bar always friendly. The fries here are some of my favorite in town. Shoestring.
