    These egg rolls were delicious
    Willie R.

    The food was amazing. I had the Lo mein with shrimp, beef and steak. It was seasoned perfectly. The service was great. They were friendly and nice. The ambiance was natural and airy. The fresh air was a plus

    I really enjoyed my first visit to The Mayor! Football , great food and service! The burger and fries were spectacular. I also had a really nice ipa! The staff were all very nice and helpful! This is the perfect spot to grab a great meal. The atmosphere is pretty laid back and cozy. I'll be back for more!

    Walking in, it's just as nicely decorated as Mr. West's. I haven't been to East West yet but I assume it's the same vibe? Lots of open space and seating with lots of TVs for entertainment and an outdoor seating area. Service is 10/10! The young lady here today was the order taker, bartender and waitress and excelled at all while making sure I didn't need anything else throughout my time here. She was great and so nice! My food and drinks came out very quickly! I ordered a Wednesday special of the $11 Korean beef tacos, $7 Mr. West's margarita and an additional regular priced $10 strawberry lemon drop. Like I said, my waitress excelled at all of her jobs so the drinks were very good and the tacos were tasty! Tacos were very tasty and the wonton chips are good but I couldn't finish them all. Felt like I was eating empty fried calories lol. The menu is different than the other locations and I can't wait to come back and try something else.

    I haven't been to this bar since it's been the Mayor, so was finally able to check it out. I remembered that the previous business had a lot of TVs and so since football season is finally here, that was my reason for stopping by. When you enter, you can place your order for food and/or drinks and put your card on file for an open tab or can immediately close out and then you seat yourself. The Mayor was very clean and tidy and had plenty of TVs. We ordered lemon pepper wings and the Thai chicken lettuce wraps. The wings were just "ok." They were very different from what I expected. The lemon pepper seasoning is almost like a powdery, white substance. We also noticed that the wings weren't tossed in the sauce they came with. It seems like the sauce was just poured on the wings, so as you can imagine, it was unevenly distributed. The wings also weren't "fresh" tasting. They tasted almost like they were freezer burned. The lettuce wraps were pretty good. This dish was definitely on the "smaller" size of an appetizer, but nonetheless, it was good. We also noticed they have a full bar, so you have a lot of options to choose from. Overall, pretty decent experience. Next time we will try something other than the wings.

    Everything I've had here has been delicious! The first time I tried the lemon pepper wings, catfish po boy, and a frozen cocktail. The wings were crispy and well seasonsd, the po boy was poppin, and the drink was potent. I co-worked for a while on the patio as well, totally my type of vibe. The next time I came with some friends and tried the burger...such a great decision! The bun was soft, the patty was flavorful, the cheese didn't taste like plastic. I know these sound like basic components but they're really doing the details well here. We also tried some chicken bites and eggrolls as apps but I ended up taking them home since I was so full. The staff's been super friendly each visit and they know the menu well since you can ask questions. Our food didn't take too long to come out either, everything was hot and fresh. This is definitely one of my new Lakeview favs :)

    The Mayor is one of my favorite places. You can't go wrong with any of the food or drink options here. When you enter the restaurant you can either sit on the side that gives you a sports bar feel with tons of TV's or the side that's your more traditional restaurant style. I have to add that the customer service is top tier. Everyone is extremely nice. My favorite bartender is Amy T. She's so personable and attentive and I look forward to seeing her when I visit. On to the food! A few of my favorite items are the chicken nachos, the beef noodles, the wings, and so much more. I highly recommend visiting this place. Be sure to get a Mr. West

    This place was suggested by a friend so I tried it. I love the decor and how open it was. They had the doors open, which resembled garage doors, for a nice breeze and the weather was nice. The garage doors were pretty cool along with the Asian decor. They had graphic on the ceiling which were cool as well. I got the Mongolian spicy garlic noodles with chicken. It wasn't really spicy just a tad from the peppers. The food was great, the service was great, our food came quick which is a A+ in my book. I will definitely be back

    Unfortunately my favorite pad noodles are no longer on the menu. The only reason why I came. Not sure why it was empty and super dark. I guess I'll try something else.

    Food was pretty good but a bit too salty! And 21 for this small and okay meal? Vibes were a bit off - went on a Friday (granted right after NYE) - but was kinda dead with only 2 workers - so service was still slow!

    Mayor Burger
    Jalexus H.

    Service at the Mayor was incredible! They had the cashier taking the orders and running the food. She was the only person I saw working the front of the house yet she did it all with a great attitude! A friend and I went on a quick lunch break. The food came out fast and it wasn't too packed. Everything was hot and fresh. We decided on the Mayor Burger and the Garlic Parmesan wings. I loved the fries, but the burger wasn't bad and wasn't great. I don't think I need to order it again but I'm not upset I tried it. I'll be back to the Mayor, but trying something different.

    Bradley C.

    Definitely my new place for the perfect burger and fries on a Tuesday! "Every Tuesday we offer the Mayor Burger for $10! Two thin crispy all beef patties, American cheese, Mac sauce, shaved onions, pickles, and hand-cut fries!" Not to mention SUPER friendly service from the moment you enter until you leave. Indoor / outdoor seating options for intimate or spacious seating depending on your need.

    Thai Lettuce Wraps
    Harrell B.

    My first visit to see The Mayor today. I must say, really fine Pad Thai, Lettuce Wraps, and a great cocktail and beer selection. The service is fun and efficient. The restaurant has a sports bar atmosphere with big screen TV's. The front has garage type doors that will open up in the Spring and Fall. This place will really be hoppin' with the cool kids when the summer heat is gone. I might become such a regular that The Mayor may have to put me on the City Council.

The lady was rude, unorganized, and unprofessional she honestly ruined my mood with her rude tone and unnecessary attitude. On TOP of that I was missing something in my order so I went up to tell the lady and she said they were "probably" out of it if I didn't receive it. I paid FULL price for everything including the food I didn't receive and you're telling me that I can't get a refund? This place service was overall horrendous the only thing they have going for them is the food but what's the point of having good food if you can't draw customers into a friendly environment to buy the food you sell. I hate that I just walked away with no refund or anything to replace what I lost. Service is none existent and I would not recommend this place to ANYONE. My advice to them is work on their people skills.

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.

    I specifically chose Yo' Mama's because I'd heard great things about the food and also wanted to…read moresupport a Black-owned business -- and I'm so glad I did because the food absolutely did not disappoint. We ordered the hot chicken sandwich with a side of coleslaw, and both were packed with flavor. The slaw was light, crisp, and not overloaded with mayo, with just a slight peppery kick that made it incredibly tasty. The hot chicken sandwich itself wasn't overwhelmingly spicy, but it was finger-licking good -- juicy, well-seasoned, and satisfying down to the last crumb. We truly enjoyed every bite. The ambience with its bright green, purple and white colors added to the experience. The restaurant was lively and full of people, which is always a good sign. I also caught glimpses of other patrons' dishes, and everything coming out of the kitchen looked just as delicious as what we ordered. Service was friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better. Staff members seemed genuinely happy to be there and kept things moving smoothly. The location is right in the heart of downtown Bhama, so parking is metered street parking, but the prices were reasonable and worth it for the quality and uniqueness of the food. Overall, this spot delivered on food, atmosphere, and service. Big thumbs up from me -- I'll definitely be back!

    Love Back Forty, along with the rest of Birmingham. There's always so much going on here,…read moreespecially when the weather is good. Tons of kids and dogs outside. 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.

They've got a huge selection of beers and a full dinner menu, so there's something for just about everyone. Whether you're coming for drinks or planning to eat, you won't feel limited. Parking is plentiful, which is always a win in Birmingham, and there's plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. It works well for small groups or larger parties. One thing to know going in: this isn't really a full-service setup. You order and pick up your own food, and aside from someone occasionally clearing empty pint glasses, there's not much table service. We actually didn't receive utensils with our food and had to go back up to the counter to grab some. Not a huge deal, just something to be aware of. I ordered the catfish sandwich with fries. The sandwich itself was delicious -- crispy, flavorful, and satisfying. My only small gripe was that it came in a to-go box. I understand it probably makes cleanup easier for them, but it does take away a bit from the dine-in experience. The fries were shoestring style, which just aren't my personal favorite. They're fine, but I always feel like I need about three handfuls to feel satisfied. We went on a Saturday night and the brewery was packed -- and I mean packed. It was very loud and definitely more of a party atmosphere than a relaxing dinner vibe. If you're looking for a quiet night out, this probably isn't it. But if you want energy, beer, sports on TV, and a fun crowd, this place delivers. Overall, it's a great hangout spot to catch a game, grab a drink, and enjoy good food -- just expect a lively, high-energy scene.
