    The burgers were fresh and the restaurant was so clean and organized! It was a great time!

    Came in for a drink. Bartender was nice. The place itself seems like it's trying to be up scale but the staff wasn't on that level. I had a glass of Justin cab and my husband had a rosemary old fashion. He said it tasted like a regular old fashion with a spring of rosemary in it. Was clean inside. We would come back and try the food the menu looked yummie.

    Cheers! First visit

    The sevice was very good. The hostess was adorable as my wife put it. The food flavors were there. But... We arrived with no reservation at 6PM on a Friday night and only 2 tables were occupied. When we left at 7:15ish only 50% of the tables had people sitting. We ordered the artichoke spinach dip with grilled bread, this was a tasty appetizer and we enjoyed it. Our entrees came spaced out (love this). Next she had the salmon plate with orzo and artichokes. It was a good dish but not great. I had the filet mignon with pimento cheese AuGratin potatoes and asparagus with bearnaise. Everything was tasty but, the steak was chewy and was not a very good cut of meat. I would try a fish entree next time. We finished up with a slice of strawberry shortcake with ice-cream that was very tasty. They also had a decent selection of craft beers not quantity but quality in my eyes and preference. We would likely give them another try.

    Salmon

    Stopped by for lunch after a meeting, and my meal was fantastic. The salmon was absolutely delicious. Both sauces were great, but there was a clash in flavors for me between the two different sauces and the Greek salad dressing-- very stark differences. Each component tasted very good, though!

    Pimento cheese sandwich with truffle fries

    My sister and I had a lovely lunch at this restaurant. I started with a pair of cheap sunglasses, LOL! That was a nice kolsch-style craft beer made by the Fairhope Brewing Company. For lunch, I ordered the Pimento Cheese Sandwich with their famous truffle fries! I enjoyed the sandwich, but I picked out the apples. Just not a big fan of sugary stuff. Truffle fries were delicious because they were truffle fries. You can't go wrong with truffle fries. Overall, I would eat here again. I saw someone eating the Mediterranean plate, which looked fabulous so I would order that the next time.

    Burger
    Dave B.

    The ratings and reviews say the best burger in Alabama and they are 100% correct. My wife and I stayed in Fairhope Alabama and picked this restaurant out prior just based on reviews and we loved that truffle aïoli burger and fries. Oh my God, we both said it's the best burger ever at the first bite. Great job and great service.

    Fish tacos & fries
    Cheron S.

    Great little restaurant in the heart of downtown. Service was excellent and the food was delicious! We had the fish tacos with shoestring fries & a dish of hummus. Would definitely go there again.

    Pork Belly Bao Bun
    Sarah T.

    When we arrived for our 7pm reservation at 6:55pm, the hostess looked around frantically as though she didn't have a table. There were 4 open tables, but for some reason she couldn't seat us at any of them even though we had a reservation. She offered to let us sit outside at a tiny bistro table (that wasn't set), but informed us we couldn't drink alcohol out there. After I told her that was unacceptable she frantically moved us to one of the open tables. We sat there for over 10 minutes before our waitress (one of three working) finally came over to even give us water. Meanwhile, 2 tables that came in after us were seated, placed drink orders and had drinks delivered in this time. Our waitress was very pushy to get us to quickly order initially, but we made it clear we were not rushing. The pork belly bao buns were fantastic and the highlight of the meal. I had the bistro steak and it was terrible. Very tough and chewy piece of meat with zero flavor. The bed of asparagus it was on were completely undercooked and crunchy. My mom had the Thyme burger. She said it was pretty good. Overall, food was maybe 3/5 - saved by the bao and the burger. Ambiance was 1/5 because it was so loud we had to scream at each other. Service 2/5 based solely on our waitress and the hostess. Additionally, I noticed the hostess taking snapchat videos of the customers (making a poor attempt at discretely doing so)-- incredibly unprofessional at what should be a nice restaurant and also, don't video me.

    It was my wife's birthday, and thus she had the privilege to choose where we would go for brunch…read more I had previously decided that I would not dine at this restaurant again, not because I had some gripe about the food, which was excellent, but because their table arrangement in the main dinning area made it difficult for wheelchair bound customers, such as myself, to navigate. This was not a hard and solid decision on my part. Instead I had decided that if I had my druthers, I would not eat there. Of course when it is my babécita's birthday my druthers were of no consideration and I found myself again at Tamara's for a Saturday brunch. We arrived to find the main dinning area to be full, and since we didn't feel like eating in the open to the outside area, we learned that we had an estimated 20-30 minutes wait for a table. Their was six to eight customers waiting around the hostess's stand inside, with another six waiting outside under a covered area. We decided to wait outside, but after about 15 minutes a rain shower began. The kind people waiting on the benches and standing under the awning encouraged us to move in further from the edge where they we were getting wet. A couple standing moved into the restaurant to make even more room for us. The hostess, seeing that it was raining outside when this couple opened the door, came to the door and invited us all in, announcing that she would make room for us all. Which she promptly did. My wife had informed the hostess of my needs, and had requested a corner table for ease of access, but once inside the restaurant, I noticed that the table arrangement seemed less crowded, which helped to ease my concerns about getting to a table. As it happened, right at the 20 minute mark, we were informed that our table was ready, and we were led to a table, not on a corner, but to a table at the end of a row of tables, and against a partition. I found this arrangement even better than our requested corner table, as it meant that I had no foot traffic behind me that I might inadvertently bump into, or bump into me. I was grateful for the evidently experienced hostess working out such a fine alternative to our request, and doing it in such a timely manner. Now I get to the food, and wait staff service. All I can say is that Tamara's management has both pegged to the highest degree. Our waiter appeared immediately, took our orders since we had perused the menu while we were waiting to be seated. As for our food, my birthday girl had the Spinach Eggs Benedict, and I had the Fried Chicken and Waffles. Both were excellent. Neither of us had a single complaint, and my wife, who is fascinated with Tamara's long list of various types of Eggs Benedicts, promised that we will be back for many more visits to try each one. I am grateful that I was forced to forego my pledge not to patronize this establishment again, as it provided an opportunity to learn how the good people at Tamara's made adjustments that allowed my experience to be enjoyed more fully. I am also grateful in that we can continue to enjoy their excellent food.

    We celebrated one of my birthday dinners at Tamara's, and the food definitely lived up to the hype…read more I had the Shrimp & Cheese Grits with Conecuh sausage and a fried green tomato, and it was excellent. The piña colada was delicious, and they brought me a blueberry crème brûlée for my birthday that was amazing. Everyone at our table enjoyed their meals, and everything was beautifully presented. The only downside was the host. He came across as extremely rude and impatient, which was not a great first impression. Thankfully, the rest of the experience was much better. Overall, the food was excellent, and I'd eat there again. Just hoping for a friendlier welcome next time.

Now, I can handle just about anything from Waffle House to Another Broken Egg, but listen, quit scrolling, and head over to Julwin's Restaurant. From the coffee to the biscuit and everything in between, you can tell that those folks in the back know how to cook breakfast. My wife ordered the Western omelet, and opted for the Spinach. I know we didn't take three sips of coffee before our food came out piping hot and fresh off the griddle! The eggs were perfect as were the hash browns. I like my biscuit as dessert, and I'm happy to say I was not disappointed. Guys, we'll be back. There's no question Julian is on our must see list on our next trip to Fairhope.

It honestly feels a little like you stumbled into a hidden spot on vacation. The food was solid across the board. You can tell they actually care about what they're serving, everything tasted fresh, not heavy or overdone. The menu has a great mix, from burgers to pasta and seafood, so it's easy to find something no matter what you're in the mood for. The shrimp and grits and the pasta dishes are delicious , and even the appetizers were on point. Service was just as good, friendly, attentive, but not hovering. You don't feel rushed, which is rare these days. What really makes this place though is the vibe. Whether you sit inside or out, it's got that relaxed, slightly upscale but still comfortable feel. If you're in Fairhope and want somewhere that feels local (not touristy), this is it. Easy 5 stars. Will definitely go back!!

The only negative was the meatballs were a little dry. Would definitely go back though.
