Best burger ever! We visited Birmingham from Nashville and it was worth taking a quick stop at Whiskey Foxtrot!

Great burger and Tots tasted really good! Better than others. Highly recommend.......enjoy

Visited: July 25, 2026 Location: Whiskey Foxtrot Burger Shoppe - Homewood, Alabama This was my first visit to Whiskey Foxtrot Burger Shoppe, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The highlight of the meal was definitely the burgers. The Wagyu beef patties were excellent--juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. We also tried one of their hot dogs, and it was very good as well. The bun was soft, fresh, and really complemented the toppings. The fries were crispy and tasty, making for a solid side. For our meal, we ordered the Chili Ray Cyrus burger with fries ($13.29), an Al Capone hot dog ($8.79), a Blueprint burger ($11.29), and two fountain drinks ($2.79 each). Our total came to $48.69, including tax and tip. The only thing keeping this from being a five-star review is the pricing. While the quality of the food is undeniable, almost $9 for a hot dog felt a bit steep, especially considering it's just the hot dog without a side. If the prices were a little more reasonable, I'd have no problem giving this place five stars. Overall, the food quality exceeded my expectations, and I'd definitely return when I'm in the area. If you're looking for a well-cooked Wagyu burger or a quality gourmet hot dog, Whiskey Foxtrot is worth checking out--you'll just want to be prepared for the premium pricing. read more

Wow! This burger joint is amazing and better than Jack Browns imo We ordered the cowgirl - American cheese, horseradish aioli, bacon, 2 waygu beef patties. Absolutely delicious and crave worthy. The burger was juicy and flavorful everything I wanted. The bun was toasted to perfection. My husband got the regular hand cut fries and I got the sweet potato fries. Literally the best SP fries I've ever had they were crispy and perfect balance of salty sweet. Yum! I wish we had one in HSV guess I'll have to drive back just for the burgers lol. They also serve different styles of hotdogs and fried pies for dessert. They have a few beer options and fountain drinks. Our food came out quickly and the whole place had a funky cool vibe. read more

When our 2 young boys (10 & 4) devour their food, you know it's good food! Neither got finicky. My wife and I enjoy our burgers and left nothing but the basket paper! The food was amazing and the staff very gracious. The decor and the background music was mellowing and a good atmosphere to eat. Great place, we would definitely recommend it! Just be mindful of the tight parking lot. read more

We've found the best fries in bham! @ has perfectly thin, crispy fries on the outside with just enough pillowy potato texture on the inside. Think McDonald's fries but homemade and all around better. I absolutely loved the "Elvis" burger which has cheddar cheese, peanut butter and grape jelly. This sounds insane but all the flavors worked so well together. I opted for one patty instead of two but definitely could've gotten two because they're so thin - just how I like them! David got the Foxtrot burger which has two patties, cheese caramelized onions, pickle and Foxtrot sauce and he deemed it our new go to burger place. You order at the counter and then grab a table and wait for your food to be brought to you. Service was friendly and you could tell they wanted everyone to be pleased. Parking was no issue - huge adjacent lot. read more

Stopped by here to try their food options and settled for burgers and fries. Both were good. This is in a foodie centric area. We have tried several places nearby. This has your neighborhood small diner atmosphere and the staff is really friendly and helpful. This is worth a try. read more

It was hot. It was getting late. We were tired. And it was past my husband's feeding time. Our hotel was almost across the street from his fave - Cookout. Yet, that evening, my sweet guy let ME pick the place. What I wanted, what I really needed, was a good greasy burger. (Good is operative here - Cookout does have greasy burgers). The name "Whiskey Foxtrot" caught my eye and the next thing you know, I was placing my order for the Buccaneer, a double burger topped with pimento cheese and bacon on a potato roll. I never pass up pimento cheese and am I glad I didn't pass up this greasy, messy handful of yum. We shared an order of fresh, shoestring fries, don't miss these. We decided to eat in the upstairs dining room. It was really a storage area with some tables and a tv added for entertainment. And warm air rises - it was toasty up there. The staircase is long and steep, not ideal for a person whose claim to fame is having had 4 knee replacements. The downstairs dining area is tiny but definitely much safer. For 4 years, our son lived within walking distance of WF. He'd never heard of it. What a loss for our whole family. read more

I am a fan and strongly recommend Whiskey Foxtrot for their burgers and dogs. This is the second location, and I assume it is a locally owned, family run operation. This location is In the Merchant's Walk shopping center at the corner of Highway 31 and 28th street. The setup is very casual; order at the counter, fix your own drink, and the staff delivers food to your table. There is both indoor (main level and an upstairs) and outdoor seating, The dining areas are relatively small with each seating approximately 4-5 tables for four. My lunch today was the Al Capone hot dog. It is their spin on a Chicago dog. It has peppers, pickles, tomatoes, sweet relish, and mustard. The bun is a toasted Hawaiian roll instead of the steamed poppy seed bun usually found on a Chicago. This dog was fantastic; fresh ingredients and bursting with complementary flavors. I would most definitely come back for it. Everything on the menu has a creative name, and the descriptions are very appealing. My friends and I shared orders of tater tots and fries. I thought the tots were very good. The fries are skinny and have potential, but they were a little greasy. read more

This was my first visit to this location. I've tried the Hoover location so I was already a little familiar with their food. This location occupies the exact same spot where Homewood Gourmet used to be. The interior wasn't changed much. There's not much room on the ground floor with only 5 small tables, but there's upstairs seating. The Hoover location is much roomier. If there's a big crowd, seating can be a challenge. Parking can also be a challenge because WF is in a small strip mall sharing it with the famous TCBY which has been at that location forever. So if you know where TCBY in Homewood is, you'll know where WF is. I visited with fellow Yelper Paul C and our friend Kenny. We managed to get a table right by the drink station which is right next to the cashier. After placing your order, you get your own drinks, seat yourself and your food will be brought to you. Kenny got one of the wagu beef burgers. He had no complaints. Paul tried the Al Capone hot dog. It was their version of a Chicago dog with peppers, pickles, tomatoes, sweet relish and mustard. He loved it. I tried the Chili Ray Cyrus. The all beef hot dog was cut in half and topped with chili, cheese sauce and chopped yellow onions. It was served on a toasted hawaiian roll. Yom Yom Yom! Warning, like most chili dogs, this can get messy. At times I used my plastic knife and fork rather than try to pick it up. The all beef frank could've been bigger but then they'd have to make the roll longer I suppose. We all shared tater tots and shoe string fries. Both were large portions, fresh out of the frier and plenty enough for 3 grown men. They were also Yom Yom Yom. I'll miss Homewood Gourmet (they made a mean poboy), but welcome to Homewood Whiskey Foxtrot! read more

Whiskey Foxtrot Burger Shoppe - The classic, amazing! - Burgers Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

Really good burgers and fresh cut fries. Great counter service. Friendly people. We always enjoy the basic burger here.

Whiskey Foxtrot Burger Shoppe is a great local burger place that has the ideal American food based menu. They have a wide variety of specialty burgers, hot dogs, and sides, and I feel that I could try something new every time I come here. I chose to order the Vulcan hot dog, named after an infamous monument of Birmingham. I love how they have so many different types of hot dogs with varying toppings to make your order truly personalized. I chose the spicy option with jalapeños and it did not disappoint! Also, these are the best fries I have had in Birmingham if you are looking for a plant-based option here. When I ordered, I was immediately greeted with a warm welcome. She told me it would be right out, and my order was given to me within 5 minutes. Besides the great food, the ambience is the best part of this place! There is an upstairs area with additional seating, and the interior of the restaurant is covered with vintage, American decor. The walls and decorations really sell the All-American vibe associated with burgers and hot dogs. If you are looking for a new, local burger spot that feels like home this is a great option! read more

The blueprint burger was so juicy! Delicious is an understatement. The restaurant is tucked in Homewood in a plaza. The food prices are reasonable. They offer dine-in if you stay and eat, with upstairs and downstairs seating. I didn't dine in. I would go back and try a new item. read more

Whiskey Foxtrot Burger Shoppe - The blueprint and fries I ordered - Burgers Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

You gotta go! Not a lot of eating space, but burgers make up for that. You got to try it at least once.

This time had the Alice and sweet potato fries. Delicious! Staff are very nice and wait time is minimal.

The service was awesome. Friendly! Food did not take long. Ambiance is typical of a hamburger joint or a small Bar. Signs on the wall gave it some character. Of course, the main deal is the food. We had all agreed the burgers at their other location on John Hawkins Blvd was the bomb, taste was fantastic. Ordered the same classic hamburger with bacon here and was so disappointed. The meat lacked flavor, like it needed A1 sauce or something. Maybe the beef patties were left over from lunch, as we were there for a 2:30 pm Mothers Day Burgerfest! Our kids enjoyed their meals but hubby and I agreed this just did not measure up to other location. Fries and tots were excellent though. Fresh & hot like one would expect! Hey Msnager- call your other location and find out what flavorings they spice their burgers with! Next time I crave a good burger, guess what? We will drive out to the Birmingham suburbs of Hoover near exit 10 of Interstate 459! read more

After I left the "not so nice" review, I actually called the location. I had a lengthy conversation with the owner. He was nice and patient. Still claimed that everything was always prepared fresh, and I was still a little skeptical. I told him I would edit the review, but I just now figured out how. He offered a refund, this & that, but I didn't want anything...I just wanted him to know. I was SO disappointed and I honestly don't think he can have his eyes on the kitchen the whole time. HOWEVER, I plan to give them another shot at it and this time, I'm bringing a guest and dining in. I don't like leaving bad reviews, everyone has a bad day. The owner was apologetic and extremely nice. So, we'll see you soon. And I'll repeat, their burgers and sweet potato waffle fries, we're the best I've ever had. read more

Whiskey Foxtrot Burger Shoppe is a great place to head towards if you are looking for a greT burger along with some French fries. Walking in, I thought that Whiskey Foxtrot Burger Shoppe had a great ambiance. Kind of a burger dive, but in my opinion, a burger is best enjoyed in some dive type vibe. I walked up to the counter and the guy behind it was okay, though I would say that he definitely did nor want to be there. Hey, we all get like that at times. Like I said, he wasn't rude or anything, it just seemed that he wanted to be anywhere but there. I guess I could be wrong, but probably not. Anyway, soon enough, another guy brought out my food and he was great. He suggested some sauces for my fries and brought me a ranch dressing and their signature sauce. Let me say, the French fries were perfect. Not only prepared perfectly, but seasoned perfectly. The burger (actually there are two burger patties on this) was also very good. The menu was pretty straightforward. Burgers, hot dogs, French fries and tater tots. I will definitely be back. read more

We stopped in for dinner during a baseball tournament, as we always like to try local burger places when we travel. The staff was extremely friendly and the restaurant, much smaller than we anticipated, had a great cozy and comfortable vibe. The burgers were outstanding (pretty close to perfectly cooked smashburgers). My wife had the chili-cheese dog and loved it. The shoestring fries were delicious, as were the tots. All in all, a great burger joint. read more

Look. I wanted a greasy burger I got a greasy burger and honestly it was great. Chili cheese fries only complaint is that I wanted more cheese. The fries are what in and out fries could be if they were seasoned correctly. Anyways perfect 5/7. read more

We came south to Birmingham for a birthday trip at the end of March for me to see the cherry blossom festival at the botanical gardens. That wound up being a total bust (wayyyy too crowded to even park anywhere close), but we were fortunate to stop for lunch here! I'd had this place bookmarked for a long time and I'm glad I got to try it out. There's a small patio out front, a few tables and chairs on the first level, and it looked like some more seating upstairs. It's an order at the counter type of joint and sides are ordered separately from the burgers themselves. You'd be hard-pressed to make it out for less than $15 a head if you're expecting a side with your sandwich, but that being said, everything is obviously very high quality, freshly made, and delicious. The decor is fun and evocative of a sort of divey atmosphere, although the space itself is perfectly tidy. Honestly, the service is probably the one major thing that kept this from being a 5-star. The two ladies working the register were very disinterested in being friendly or helpful. The menu written on the wall is a little hard to read, and despite my parents obviously struggling to see it, we had to figure out for ourselves that there were paper menus on the counter by the register. No have a nice days, thank yous, or what would you likes, either, just a dutiful if sour rendering of our orders into the register and a wordless exchange of credit cards. They didn't say anything outright ugly and they did the job they're paid to do, but a little pleasantness really does go a long way. On the bright side, the kitchen was clearly working efficiently because our freshly cooked food was out in a matter of minutes. On to the food -- it rocked! I thought two patties would be too much for me, and I was suuuuper full at the end, but they were smashed nicely and therefore it wasn't an immense challenge to eat them. I had the queso blanco burger and it was delicious. Gooey queso, crisp jalapeños, creamy aioli, and savory, umami beef that surprisingly didn't melt the soft, lightly toasted buns into a soggy mess. My only *minor* wish was for a slightly spicier entree -- it was barely spicy at all, and I'd have been happier with a little more kick. That being said, easy 4.5/5 meal and I would be more than happy to devour it again. My sweet potato waffle fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, a nice balance of sweet and salty, and the serving was generous. Can't remember which burger my husband got but he loved it. WF's take on regular fries is also delicious and also comes with a generous portion. I thiiiiiink my parents split a patty melt and fries. Whatever the case, all four of us were beyond happy with our food. All in all, fantastic tasting burger joint in a comfortable environment with fairly easy parking, convenient to lots of fun stuff to see and do in Birmingham. If you're looking for a good burger stop in town, look no further! I would happily come back. read more

Whiskey Foxtrot Burger Shoppe - Queso Blanco burger with Sweet Potato Waffle Fries - Burgers Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

This was our first time visiting. We wanted an easy casual dinner and that's just what this place is. Order at the counter and they bring it out. Simple menu of burgers and hot dogs, a few sandwiches. My burger was good, nothing special. Shredded ice berg lettuce would have been nicer if it had been mixed greens but it was ok. However the sweet potato fries were out of this world delicious! Huge serving too! I was so full and just kept eating them because they were so good! Probably won't return just because we aren't local and we like to try other things but if we were local I would be back just for the fries! read more

Maybe I caught this place on an off day, but to be honest, everything seemed over-hyped to me. Around $10 dollars for a smallish double cheeseburger, another $4-ish for fries, and $6 for a can of craft beer (Muchacho by Good People.) I was expecting to be amazed by the Wagyu beef, but the patties were pretty thin and so thoroughly cooked that I didn't really taste much flavor. Pretty underwhelming. The fries were really good, and of course the beer did not disappoint. Service was about what you would expect from 3-4 late teens or early 20s guys whose boss had just left for the day. read more

We arrrived on a Sunday afternoon looking for a different style restaurant than your normal burger joint. Whiskey Foxtrot was just the place. The Elvis burger with peanut butter and jelly was delicious. The food come out hot and fast.

This is a week late but I must post this review. From the moment I walked in, the vibe was on point--clean, welcoming, and full of energy without being overwhelming. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between laid-back and lively, making it a great spot whether you're hanging out with friends or just grabbing a bite solo. Now let's talk about the burgers... absolutely incredible. Juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection we took the suggestion of our server and got the Patriot and the Texan. You can tell they really care about quality here. What really made the experience stand out, though, was the service. The staff were friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to enjoy what they do. It's rare to find a place where both the food and the people are equally impressive. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to again and again. Highly recommend! read more

The food was well flavored. Service was very welcoming and warm , and the place gave off chill vibes all the way around.

I got a mushroom burger with sweet potato fries. Everything was nice and hot and I enjoyed every bite. I'm giving this a maybe because I didn't stay in the store to eat. We got our food to go, but the environment of the restaurant was very interesting with an upstairs that I believe was for overflow guests. The walls were colored with various Knick knacks. My interactions with the staff were also pleasant. read more

The server was great and did everything with a smile! Tots were golden brown and crispy to perfection! I would recommend toasting the burger so it doesn't get soft after time!!! The foxtrot sauce DELICIOUS! read more

This place is great! Happy to see they have a second location. It is as good or better as the Hoover location. The Cowgirl is one of the best! The Blueprint is nice too! They have a nice kids menu as well. The mac and cheese side is kid approved with the grilled cheese! This location is nice and has an upstairs dining area as well! Also, the tater tots are on point fried golden tone with a nice light crisp crunch on the outside Parking can be a challenge due to the shopping center not the business. read more
