    The Reuben sandwich with spicy chips were yummy and clearly uniquely made
    Owen C.

    Wow in a great way. My review years ago was 5 stars and tonight it would be even higher. This place is so great with all the things. The atmosphere here is so wonderful. The food ordered is always super tasty. And my favorite desire is always the service and this place has a bunch of great servers that are nice and fun to be around.

    I was on my way to be a guest on the Blerd Survival Guide podcast and I had a little time to kill so I popped up over to The Electric after being told many times to try it. So what are the odds that this place was only 3 minutes from my destination! Anyways I popped in and checked out the inside and it was a very cool, comfortable, and hype like establishment. I put my order in online and didn't go in until it was the said time they gave me on the order. When I went in my food wasn't ready and so I had to wait probably another 30 minutes. Staff was working hard though so I wasn't stressing about it to hard. Staff was nice and offered me water while I waited. I finally get my food head back to the car and proceeded to unbox everything. I gotta admit that visually the food looked very good. First up I had the Classic which is a Flatbread that consists of pepperoni, conecuh sausage, mozzarella, provolone cheese, and basil. This ended up being very good. Nothing crazy to wow about but it definitely got the job done. Flavors were decently balanced I think my only grip with this is the pizza sauce could use a bit more work. I still would other this again anyways so don't let that stop you. 7.5/10 Lastly I got The Ballpark which consisted of country sausage, chili, cheddar cheese, yellow mustard, scallions, and hugged tight in a toasted bun. This was probably my favorite thing. The chili was so hot and tasted as if it was homemade. If it's not homemade I want to known where they buy it because it was pretty darn good. I'd eat it on its own! The sausage was very flavorful as well. The only issue with this was the bun it's definitely well toasted it was way to hard for me and shredded the roof of my mouth I would personally change the bun to something else but that'd just me. Either way this bad boy is a will order again and I give it a 8.5/10. Definitely go try this place when you get the chance it was really good and I hope I can come back soon!

    Bologna sandwich

    Really good local place for lunch. My daughter and I stopped by today and enjoyed some delicious food and good service. I went with the Downhome - bologna sandwich and she tried the Mitchell-cheese, bacon, apple and hot honey. The bread was really good as were the homemade chips. They had really good sweet tea. Highly recommend.

    My friend invited me to lunch at The Electric. To tell you the truth, I had never heard of it until we visited, but I'm so glad she introduced me to it. Tucked away in a Bluff Park neighborhood, this is a hidden gem, and if you are looking for something new, you should definitely try it out!! When we visited, I was super impressed with the number of craft beers that were available. They also had a great selection of fun cocktails. I ordered the Frozen Blue Monday which is a pretty drink with vodka, blue, pineapple, and coconut. If you dread Mondays, drop by after work and try one. It will put a smile on your face. Also, check out their Happy Hour specials For food, I ordered a flatbread. It was really good and surprisingly went well with the cocktail. I definitely want to go back, especially for their Tuesday Trivia nights.

    Really cool sandwich shop with full bar! I met my friend for lunch. Someone came over as soon as we walked in the door and handed us menus and told us to sit anywhere including outside which was nice since we were the only ones there! I ordered the curry tomato soup to start. It was delicious. I didn't find it to be the least bit spicy as one reviewer complained about. I would definitely get it again. They have salads, sandwiches and flatbreads. I got a sandwich. My friend got a flatbread. We both enjoyed our food very much! I got the Blue Monday to drink. It was really good! After we were done eating, the owner came over and chatted with us which I thought was really nice. He told us about their Tuesday trivia night so we are going to come back for that. I really liked it here and will definitely come here again!

    Boardman OH with Kettle Chips
    John S.

    One of my new favorites for lunch. I tried the Boardman, OH (Pastrami & Beer Cheese), the only thing that could make it better would be a freshly baked bun. The Martin's potato roll was good, but fresh baked bread makes everything better. It will be hard to try some of the other options, as good as they sound they don't have the extra beer cheese to dip the kettle chips in. I didn't get one this time but the Cereal Bars were huge and a bargain price. Will definitely try one next time.

    5 stars all the way-fantastic little venue with a hip vibe-classic bar menu with variations of country favorites (like the iconic bologna sandwich) and perfectly made cocktails. I had to try many things it all looked delicious and I'm glad I did. The pizza was a spin on a childhood favorite-a pickle sandwich with cheese on toast The tomato curry soup was a home run-an absolutely perfect blend of curry. I was sad when my bowl was empty! The Boardman, Oh sandwich was ooey gooey with beer cheese that had a nice snap of beer tart and salt. Both drinks I had were amazing and well balanced- I'm coming back-I must have the bologna and cheese sandwich with chips (The Downhome) and another cocktail-or two! Finally a restaurant in Alabama worthy of a 5 start review! Well done.

    I have been here for lunch a couple of times now for The Work Week Lunch Deal - Standard Burger (or…read more6 wings), Side , Soda/Tea for $13.49. A really good deal! Seated immediately and ready to take your order as soon as you decide. The Standard Burger (Lettuce. tomato, onion, pickles, horsey sauce & american cheese) is really good. Fries are cooked just right. Previously I got a mix of the Fries and Onion Rings. Onion Rings are great too! I have had The Three Hander sandwich (Niman ranch corned beef, fries, tomato, jalapenos, creamy slaw, dijonaise, mozzarella on sourdough) from their original location which is great too. I should probably try other things as well but the lunch deal is hard to pass up. Since it is not too far from my office, will definitely continue to be a part of my regular lunch rotation. Only downside for me is the parking. There are limited spots on the street out front. Adjacent to the building there is a lot that is part of the apartment complex behind it but not really enough spaces for the 2 restaurants.

    The location is connected to a Mexican restaurant with arcades separating the two. The atmosphere…read moreis family friendly and very upbeat. The staff was friendly and patient as I forgot my readers so a lot of questions were asked. Thank you Andreana. We had the tenderloin (which I haven't had in YEARS). I was not disappointed. We also had the southerner and it was tasty. They had a happy hour where I got a wine and husband got a frozen drink. Then round 2 I opted for the daily drink, daiquiri. Each day there is a different drink as a special. I enjoyed the music and the vibe. Would come back to this place when I'm in Birmingham again.

    I was traveling home from out of town and found this bar along my route. It was getting late so I…read morecalled to confirm their business hours. I got an automated message that said to leave a message and my call would be returned as soon as possible. I thought maybe the bar was busy and they didn't have time to answer, no big deal. Upon my arrival I noticed a very low selection of liquor, draft beer, or customers. The only customers I saw in the bar were two people playing pool. I asked the bartender about tequila. He asked me if I wanted a shot without telling me what was available or if that's what i wanted, which makes me think there is not much of a selection. Before I could ask what type of tequila there was to drink or ask what type of mixers the bar had, which I don't think there was much mixers to choose from by how empty the bar looked, the bartender then proceeded to ask me if I was "messed up". I drink rarely and take no medication. At this moment I hadn't had a drink in short of a week. He then proceeded to tell me that I was slurring my words, although that was definitely not true. He refused to serve me. I've been to bars all across the United States and this is the first time I've ever been refused to be served, especially before my first drink. He didn't ask how I was doing, if I was meeting friends, if i was planning on driving home, or getting a ride from someone. The bartender decided I was "messed up" within 30 seconds of me being in the bar. If a bartender can't tell the difference between someone who is 110% sober and "messed up", while making that decision within 30 seconds of a customer entering the bar, then that bartender should be looking for a new profession. I'm not quite sure if he was insinuating that I had been drinking, taking to much medication,or using recreational drugs, but none was the case. Maybe this is the type of bar where people often arrive to inebriated to get served or the bartender prefers locals and refuses service to others.I'm not certain this is the situation, but regardless it's extremely unprofessional and the bartender was absolutely wrong and unjustified. I will never be returning to this establishment and would recommend avoiding this bar. The next time I'm in this town I'll be sure to go elsewhere. I wouldn't return to this bar if it was the only one in town!
