I wanted to be a fan so bad! But maybe my expectations were a little too high. A friend and I…read morestopped in for lunch on a Monday. There was no line so we were able to quickly order. My friend ordered the chicken kabob entree but the man quickly told us it would be a 20 minute wait. I appreciated that he let us know since we were on a hour lunch break. He did recommend the lunch special alternative which she went with. I got the mushroom and Swiss burger. I absolutely loved the patio area. It's actually the only seated dining option since the inside is only big enough for ordering. Our food came out pipping hot which was nice! The burger and fries are a great portion for the price. I was a little disappointed that there was mustard on my burger. However that's my fault! It's clearly on the menu I just didn't pay close enough attention. I'm a huge mustard hater so that threw me off. The fries looked delicious but they were just a tad undercooked for my liking. Definitely not raw, just not cooked long enough. My friend enjoyed her food for the most part but it was nothing to rave about.

I used to frequent a bakery that was on this strip but I never saw this quaint little deli. The staff was pleasant as we looked over the menu. I ordered the chicken kebabs and my friend ordered the Philly with fries. Later he added a plain cheeseburger just to try it. He said his Philly didn't have much meat and he didn't care for the wrap. He thought it was going to be a traditional sandwich. However, my chicken kebab meal was flavorful and delicious. I didn't like the salad dressing that came on the salad, but that's just my particular preference. Everything was very fresh and was enough for two meals. I particularly enjoyed the outdoor seating on this nice Fall afternoon. We had differences of opinion on the burger. I thought it had a great taste-seasoned well, and fresh. My friend wasn't impressed and mentioned that it came out too fast to have been made fresh. I would love to go back and order one with all the trimmings to get a more accurate account as to how to rate it. I will definitely return to try more menu items.

Bologna Sandwich 5/5 Service 10/5…read moreOnion Rings 3/5 The true definition of southern hospitality. A restaurant run by a family that treats you like family. It was my first time and they took the time out to suggest items to me and ask me what I liked. I even had input from another diner who was apparently a regular, who told me to get the bologna sandwich. And BOY was it delicious. HUGE. Couldn't eat it all in one setting. I liked it because it was on white bread, the bologna was thick sliced and charred (which a good piece of bologna always has) and the toppings were fresh. The only reason I gave it four stars is really no fault of their own. It's just the onion rings were too greasy. I know, I literally ordered a fried side, but they were like drenched. Perhaps it was just my batch. When I'm in Fultondale, though, I'll definitely be stopping by. I want to come back for the hotdog which is supposed to be the standout.

I ordered the Fourth Ave with grilled catfish and a side of onion rings, and everything about this meal just worked. The catfish was perfectly cooked with a great, well-balanced flavor that didn't overpower the rest of the sandwich--it all blended together in a way that felt thoughtful rather than thrown together. Now let's talk about those onion rings--easily some of the best I've ever had. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and seasoned just right. What really surprised me (in the best way) was dipping them into the sweet potatoes--an unexpected combo that turned out to be ridiculously good. Service was another highlight. The owner was working the register during my visit, and she was incredibly attentive and welcoming. You can tell there's real pride behind the place, and it shows in how customers are treated. The setup and atmosphere add to the experience too. The open-table layout creates a relaxed, communal feel that makes it easy to strike up conversations or just enjoy the energy of the room. It's comfortable without trying too hard, which fits the vibe perfectly. Location-wise, it's super convenient and walkable to other spots nearby--ideal if you're exploring the area. I also love the flexibility of the menu; being able to choose your protein makes it feel like there are endless combinations to try. As for price, it's very reasonable for the quality you're getting. My meal (with a water) came out to around $20, which felt like a great value. All in all, On A Bun delivers on flavor, hospitality, and atmosphere. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to--and next time, those onion rings are non-negotiable.
