We visited Oak House for my daughter's birthday dinner and had an amazing experience. We had to…read morereschedule our reservation for 30 minutes later and they were very gracious in accommodating our change in plans. The atmosphere was welcoming from the moment we walked in the door. Our server, Eden, was friendly and very attentive. We ordered drinks and the bread service and received everything quickly. The bread was delicious! For entrees, I ordered the Chicken Piccata, my daughter ordered the Salmon Oscar, and her boyfriend ordered the Oak House Pasta. Beautiful presentation for all the dishes. Everything was delicious and the portions were very generous. I will definitely return the next time I'm in Birmingham!

First, we were pleasantly surprised by the small size of the venue. When we arrived our table was…read moreavailable so we were seated promptly. There is also outside seating and a sizable bar. This was an amazingly delicious dinner. We started with drinks. My husband had the each sunrise mocktail and I ordered Sarah's Smile. Both were delightful. We ordered the Waygu Beef Raviolo to share. The filling was very well seasoned. The only downside was the very small dot of Parmesan crema. For our main course, my husband ordered the 14oz prime ribeye steak and I had the Shrimp Scampi. His steak was perfectly cooked and tender. It was served with scalloped potatoes. He said they were very good. The Shrimp Scampi was the best I've had in the US in a restaurant. Served with capellini. Sizable portion. Sauce was delicious. I decided before our meal arrived to add an order of focaccia. This was tender and tasty though the texture was not what I expect in focaccia. If we had the financial means to visit this restaurant, we will go again. Friends gifted us a gift card for Oak House and another friend a visa gift card. The bill after tax was $174.02. We tipped slightly over 20%. It was a delicious and enjoyable dinner.

Let me start with the good for my Metro Diner pick up order (placed one online and one through…read moreDoorDash): Order was ready on time The hostess in the bright green shirt at the front was very friendly and assisted me quickly Chicken tenders, creole mustard, green beans and fries were the star of the show today. I haven't had their chicken tenders before, but now realize I prefer it over the standard fried chicken solely because the flavor profile is better (more seasoned). I would order this again. Salad for my steak tips was as expected. I also redeemed a birthday reward for the chocolate cake. The bite I took was pretty good and it is easily a sharable portion size. Now for the not so good... My order through metro diners website consisted of steak tips, mash&gravy, garden salad with ranch. I personally would not order this again. Issue: The steak was chewy, flavor was bland and portion size seemed small for the value. My DoorDash order consisted of 1. Bissell breakfast with pancakes, scrambled eggs, cheese grits, bacon and a biscuit. 2. Small sausage gravy side 3. Chicken tenders plate with creole mustard, green beans and French fries. Issue: I quickly glanced through the see through lid of the boxes and noticed toast instead of a biscuit and no container that would have had the cheese grits. Went inside to notify the team and expo of missing items (also brought the bag back in). The expo called for these missing items from the kitchen. The cook glanced and then asked if he had a ticket for that? I managed restaurants for years so I get it when the kitchen asks this, however, the ticket was the one you made incorrectly and the expo did not check for correctness. The expo also stated "it is for a DoorDash order that she said is wrong". I'm happy this was a personal order because I got to see firsthand how it appears DD order issues are dismissed since they seemed to assume I was a driver. At least that is how the short exchange presented. They weren't rude it was the tone and lack of apology for my missing items. Mistakes happen. How you respond to and handle them matters. Fast forward - I get home and realize they must have simply switched my order with someone else's. There were hash browns with cheese and diced tomatoes and scrambled eggs with cheese. Was not my order and could not eat this order. The pancakes were just okay. Tried the sausage gravy with the biscuit. Not something I would get again but this part isn't a reflection of Metro Diner. Ordered this just to try it since many rave about this southern combo. Let's just say there will be more for everyone else to enjoy.

In honor of the owners, they've named themselves a "greek & 3." I did just that: I got the greek meatballs with tzatziki and 3 sides: mac, collards, and cajun red beans. Everything was perfect. The meatballs and tzatziki sauce were amazing. The mac was exactly how I like it: casserole-y and a little eggy. The collards were good and the red beans had a great flavor. I believe I saw they had a red beans and rice special that involved some conecuh sausage. That might have to be my order next time. Staff was all very nice, tables are clean. You gotta go up the stairs outside to make it in.

Hard to believe this was my first visit. I have heard about Bevelle's for years. They used to be…read morein a section of a gas station, but in 2019 they moved to a store-front that allows better parking and an eat-in area. Unfortunately, we weren't able to take advantage of the dining room, but we picked up lunch for three, taking advantage of both their curbside service and a cash-only special that was offered the week leading up to Easter. Their menu changes daily, but is traditional meat-and-two fare and is currently being shared as it changes on their facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/BEVELLES/ Regretfully, I was also so hungry and otherwise preoccupied to take pictures. (Sorry about that.) Our plates were meatloaf with mashed potatoes and green beans, meatloaf with mac-n-cheese and mashed potatoes (yes, this is the teenager's plate), and baked BBQ chicken with mac-n-cheese and green beans. We all chose the roll instead of the cornbread. Meatloaf is a pretty personal dish for Southerners, and we each have our own favorite way; Bevelle's is a pretty "traditional" meatloaf with a tomato-based sauce on top. Green beans are what I would call Italian green beans (aka Romano beans) that are wide and flat. Mashed potatoes can be with or without gravy, and they were a nice consistency. Mac-n-cheese was baked, and pretty flavorful. You can also choose between white and dark meat for their chicken; our white meat included a chicken breast and a wing. Nice BBQ sauce; sweet, not spicy at all, so like the "Kraft Original" of BBQ sauces. Nice portion, and filling enough for lunch. We ended up having a late dinner because this was so satisfying. Will look forward to returning and trying their well-known Hot Banana Pudding. Fair warning: They are open ONLY during the week, and ONLY for lunch hours.

I am greeted by Mr.Eddie (the owner) himself every time I go and have had nothing but friendly conversations/interactions with most if not all of the staff. Mr.Eddie runs a tight ship! The food is fresh and hot every time, and on the one occasion where it wasn't, Mr.Eddie personally brought me a fresh piece of fried chicken! 10/10 each visit and would give it more stars if i could. It is a bit on the pricy side but i would much rather support a local business and friendly face, than corporate restaurant/fast food that comes from who knows where and doesn't care about your food or experience. Hope this cafe can stay open for as long as possible! Much love to the Bevelle family

Thankfully free parking was available. I walked in at the perfect time, just as the breakfast grill was shutting down and the lunch grill was heating up. I was 5 minutes pass breakfast, as told by the waitress. She was so kind and told me that she would ask, if they (he) could prepare a breakfast for me. The answer was yes, but no grits. Oh well, let's try the omelette and hash brows. I'm really not into hash browns but these were delicious! Crispy and perfectly round. The omelette was also good and fluffy. The coffee was a good robust cup of coffee. This is a real old school diner. Counter seats with a few booths to the side. No frills here. Decent diner food with great friendly service. By the time I finished my breakfast, the lunch crowd was starting to come in for a seat at the counter and booths. I heard someone say, this is the best Philly cheesesteak in the area. Anyways, this was a pleasant place to have a good simple meal with some awesome service. The only reason I'm not giving 5* is because of not being able to get the grits, which was my fault for not getting there a little sooner. I will definitely come back.

I questioned the staff multiple times on multiple menu questions. All answered attentively and with concern.

Patience is important but I won't be back here again. Everything is dirty and there are no paper towels nor has the bathroom been cleaned any time recently. Seeing these other reviews with the same problems is why I left these comments, it doesn't seem to be a limited thing.
