I hadn't been in this area for lunch in a while and had not heard of this place. It had taken over another restaurant we had been to in the past. Met my wife here for lunch and it was a nice surprise. The inside is a little small, so if they are busy, you may have to sit outside. The inside is decorated... festive? And they have TVs on to catch a game if you're so inclined. I got the philly sandwich for my lunch. It was tasty, though I wish they had some slightly better hot sauce to put on it. I'd definitely come back though and try something else on the menu next time. read more

This is a really cool little pub in Avondale. Most of the seating is outside, and we visited on the night of some big football games, so the place was packed. A lot of people are able to walk here from their homes, so it is truly a neighborhood bar. I would characterize the beer menu as limited, but they have enough variety for people to find something they would like. They have a great food menu, and everyone liked what they ordered. Personally, I like the buffalo style cauliflower appetizer (don't judge). Nice and spicy. The fried pickles were excellent as well. Note, order the fries, not the tots. You will thank me later. The only problem is that they don't have any wheelchair accessible parking (which is require by law). One person in our party uses a wheelchair full time, and had to park at the gas station next store. The sidewalks are partially blocked with planters, and it was hard for him to enter the premises. read more

Located in Avondale. It's a good place to get food and drinks. They have a small outdoor patio and a few tables inside and near the bar.

The food, drinks,and atmosphere was a vibe!!! We will definitely be back definitelyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy recommend read more

The Goose - The entrance. - Salad Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

Yes it's a sports bar but it's more. I love coming for lunch. Steak philly is great. I subbed chili instead of fries. Hummus. Salads. Shrimp bowls. They have a lot of variety and surprisingly good and fresh stuff. Staff is kind and attentive. The place is squeaky clean without the chemical smell (thank goodness)! Outdoor patio and seating is a plus. read more

The Goose - Salad Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

The Goose is an Avondale staple. I love to lunch here, they have a great Caesar Salad. This Friday, I went for the first time on a late-night excursion. The bartenders are the type to just hang out with you, which I love. They indulged me in making my hyper-specific favorite shot which involves pickle juice and hot sauce. Everyone is very kind, sports always on the TVs, neighborhood spot. It has a "locals only" vibe, even though this is Birmingham, not Aspen. read more

Good food and family friendly. They have plenty of outdoor seating. We tried the cheeseburger, Philly cheesesteak, and chicken tender with tots. Let's just say the chicken tender stole the show. They were huge and enough to share. Everything is cooked to order of course. If you go, I would definitely recommend the chicken tenders and tater tots! read more

So it's a cute place with covered outdoor area where you can have your pup. I had to poke my head inside to ask for service. When the guy came out he said we don't do table service on the weekends out on the patio. Ok well your website should state that. Made sure they got my credit card before I could order. Someone else brought my order and no one ever came back to check on me. Finished my beer and food, still no one. I was a bartender/server for over 20 yrs...they get a C for their grade. read more

The Goose - Great place for pups! - Salad Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

Fun little place with some really good snacks. Look, this is not a white tablecloth experience, but if you just want some good food c'mon in! This last trip was my third, and I will say you must try the fried pickles. I was skeptical because I am a huge fried pickle fan, but it has to be chips. So when I saw the pickles were more like fries I was not expecting to like them as much as I do! Right up there with the best "chips" in the game! From there do any form of the fried chicken, the grilled chicken on the nachos, and the wings. But if you go wings don't ask for blue cheese. Only negative I have found is the blue cheese tastes just like Kr@$t out of a bottle, and if you know what I am talking about we can be friends! I am a blue cheese dressing snob! read more

The ghost is a great place to hang out and have drink drinks and food with friends. I had a shrimp Poboy and it was delicious.

Visited this place on accident. Really wanted to try Saws Soul Food but the weren't open. I wasn't very happy at first. There was a guy there redoing the cable and internet and only one server. It started off badly but got better when the food came. I asked the waitress for a recommendation and she said try the Hot Head Burger. I asked what came on it and she said she didn't know so she asked at the window. After the third time she said she didn't know she said she only worked there once a week and hadn't been there a month. Once the food came, things got better. The burger was amazing and the wings were super good and not burnt. Fries come with every meal so you will never leave hungry. We were never asked if we wanted refills on water or soda so if you do go, take your own. Or hopefully there is a real bartender working the bar. read more

This restaurant has been only open a few months and is awesome. It is a fun spot with a very nice patio with shade. It sits on artificial grass and has games out there like corn hole, and big connect four. Some of the tables has umbrellas and there is also fans out there. They have a few parking spots along the perimeter of the patio. There is also free street parking within a reasonable walking distance. That is where I ended up parking. In addition to the patio, they have a small bar that has seating and full service. There is also a small indoor dining area. Bot spots have televisions, The bar may be small, but has 4 televisions covering its center wall. There was no indoor seating available so, we decided to sit on the patio. At first there was only a table in the hot sun. However, Heath, the owner was out there working hard and pulled our table over to the shade and under some fans. The staff there is amazing. They were helpful, courteous, friendly and attentive. Top notch. They do not have signature cocktails, but they do have a full bar with beer and wine. The menu has burger sandwiches, wings. and salads. Most of them have fun names and you will find some exotic items on there. I ordered the Steak Philly (Silly Philly) with fries. The Goose Neck also looked good. It took about 10 to 15 minutes for us to get our food, which was pretty good considering how packed their were. My food was delicious. If I had one suggestion, It would be to put a little more meat on the sandwich. It was still filling and very flavorful. I left there full. I would recommend trying the Philly. The fries were good too, but it is hard to mess those up, but I have seen it done though. The other person with me loved their food too and was highly impressed by the service. Heath runs a great operation here. I throughly enjoyed my dinner here. They are very welcoming here and have some awesome food and an amazing staff. I highly recommend checking this place out and hope that I am able to make it back here soon. read more

First time being here since it changed to The Goose. My burger was pretty good. My wife said her pork needed to be seasoned, but her sandwich was decent. We loved the shoestring fries. I didn't have an alcoholic drink this time but the atmosphere was pretty nice as well. Everyone working there was pretty nice and our food came out hot and quickly, fast service! read more

The Goose has some of the best American food I've had in Birmingham. They have a super cool atmosphere outside and it's a good spot to grab a chill drink. Their caesar salad is one of the best salads I've had and it's even cooler because you can put steak on it. read more

The Goose - a beer and a glass on a bar - Salad Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

I went here with a friend and we decided to eat light because we were going to Mom's Basement afterwards. I had the loaded tater tots and my friend had sautéed cauliflower. I wasn't expecting the inside of this place to be a sports bar so I was surprised to see that. It is tight inside and the long bar took up most of the restaurant. There are some serious rockstar and bad@!! bartenders that work that are friendly and good at what they do. The outside patio area was my favorite part at the restaurant and if there's good weather I recommend sitting outside. We didn't sense any lack of customer service being outside at all. read more

Went on a Saturday afternoon and didn't expect a sports bar despite watching multiple TikToks about this place lol. My friend and I sat at the bar. The inside is smaller than expected but we luckily found two seats that weren't filled inside. They offer outside seating as well. I ordered pickles fries as an appetizer and a fried chicken sandwich that comes with fries. The pickle fries were very good and you get a lot! My sandwich and fries were not as good. Neither of them really had flavor but everything came out fresh and quickly. They have amazing tap water as well lol. The vibe was ok with a mixed crowd and wasn't too loud despite it being a sports bar. Bartenders make sure you're good throughout your time there. I would definitely come back and try something else though! read more

Late night food stop for a group of friends after we left a game. It was a beautiful night so we ate outside. It was a group of 6 and the service was fast and efficient. I had their nachos and I loved them. Portion size was more than enough for one person alone or to share. Burgers were ordered by others and from the looks of it they were delicious as well. We had no complaints with our experience. They also have outside games and ample sitting for large or small groups. read more

Bartender tended to all the regulars and completely ignored me and my friends. Food was okay Beer selection sub par read more

After passing by this place so many times and it being the only thing open at the time, I decided to give them a try. I was stuck between the shrimp Po boy and the smash burger. I asked the bartender which was better and she said the smash burger. So essentially it's supposed to be a party melt (in my opinion) but on regular bread and double the meat. My total came to be 15$ even. And it came with fries which they say on the menus "are on us" and honestly I can see why. Everything I ate was just right below average. The fries were ok, but not crunchy like fresh fries should be. Don't think there was any Salt or pepper, maybe some other seasoning because it wasn't just bland. The burger was once again just ok. There was no flavor. I just felt like I was eating meat and cheese and onion because that's all you could taste. No other seasonings were found. Also the meal definitely was not worth the price. It claims to be a double burger but in all honesty the burger/patty size is MAYBE 1 mm thicker than that of a Wendy's Jr burger. So in total you might get 1.5 times the meat instead of 2x like a REAL double should be. Can't attest to the ambiance because I had it to go, but wish I had eaten in so I could have given it back and got my money. I'm not saying don't go here. But if you do, skip out on the smash burger because you definitely can get better for much cheaper elsewhere. read more

Great find!, thanks Yelp. In town for a few weeks working so glad * ran across this spot. First off the greeting from bartender/host Chris is top notch. That always makes my food taste better I usually ask for recommendations when visiting somewhere new. Chris' suggestions have been on point for my taste. I don't do alot of turf so I go for the Scuba Goose " Shrimp Po boy" you can get it grilled or fried I've only had fried. It comes with plenty of fresh good sized shrimp too‼ The tots are delicious always hit and crispy. I've only been for lunch and take out for dinner. The atmosphere and vibe always seems laid back w covered outdoor seating and games A must visit if your nearby. read more

We stopped in the evening and it wasn't too busy. We ordered the Goose necks for a starter. It came with some house sauce, it was all really good! My daughter order Nachos and loved them.

Went to Birmingham for annual guys trip/March madness. Stumbled upon the goose and instantly loved it. Small place inside but multiple TVs to view and they were great about changing TVs to games we wanted. Bartenders were all incredibly friendly. The other people in the bar all seemed like regulars and they were all welcoming to us. During the games the entire place was cheering to make you feel like you were in the arena. We went back the next day with new bar staff that was also incredible. Chicken tenders were huge and some of the best I've had. Jager was cold and flowing well. Overall one of the best bars I've been to hands down. Almost want to return there for the trip every year just for The Goose. read more

Food was terrible. Got 3 items off the menu: 2 sandwiches and the triple G. Their sandwhich is served in between a hot-dog bun (hoagie). None of the ingredients seem to be fresh. food is served and assembled, not cooked. The fries are okay but you get exactly the same at McDonalds for cheaper the triple G consisted of 3 cups of soupy watered down salsa, jalapeño sauce and queso. you couldn't scoop them up with the nacho chips. Would not recommend this venue, at least not the items ordered. The aforesaid items are relatively cheap but you get the what you pay for. read more

Seems to be taking a slow decline from when they opened. Ordered a steak Philly which was completely overcooked, the steak was tough and the cheese was more stringy than melty and sat in the middle of the sandwich and not evenly distributed. The shrimp from the po boy was also over salted and overcooked. The fries were less than a handful however for the price, clearly we were overcharged. Definitely considering this being the last visit, especially since the outdoor patio is the only draw as even the servers were inattentive. read more

Pros: Service was 10/10!! An angry orchard is only $5, and the gal up front was so sweet and attentive + the chipotle ranch was soooo good. Fries were great also!! Cons: the fried pickles were VERY slim. It was 80% breading and 20% pickle for every single one I ate. If you charge over $9 for fried pickles, they can definitely be thicker. And the tomato, mozzarella, and basil sandwhich I had was just okay. Bread was very soggy from the vinaigrette and there was only 2 pieces of greenery on the sandwich. Overall a 3/5 star experience and place. Needs a little bit of work overall but has a lot of potential! Can definitely be a staple in Avondale with improvement. read more

I don't want to underrate a new local business with good food and service, hence 4 stars, though I want to go lower, honestly. I was very much looking forward to visiting The Goose during football season, but on 9/10, for some unfathomable reason, they had the UK/UF game on audio rather than the Auburn game. When UA plays, they should be on. When AU plays, they should be on. I don't know where the owners are from, but you're in AL now. I immediately left and spent my money down the block. The place wasn't half full... every other restaurant on the block had the AU game on, and they were full. Just not smart. I really wanted some pickle fries, too. read more
