Cook Out - Homewood, Alabama Visit Date: Thursday, July 23,…read more2026 (approximately 8:20 p.m.) I finally gave Cook Out a try while visiting the Birmingham/Homewood area. The service was relatively friendly, and our total for four meals and drinks came to $31.56, which is certainly inexpensive by today's standards. Here's what we ordered: * Big Double Burger - $4.39 (plus $1.00 for bacon, $0.55 for cheese, and $0.10 for tomato) * Small Burger - $3.39 * Three Strip Snack - $4.99 * 2 Dog Tray - $7.99 * Large drinks - $2.49 each The burgers were definitely the highlight. The patties had a nice chargrilled flavor that set them apart from a typical fast-food burger. My only complaint is that they're on the small side, even the double burger. The hot dogs were average at best. Nothing really stood out, and I wouldn't order them again. The biggest disappointment was the sides. The tray includes sides, but they are VERY small. My order of onion rings consisted of only five small onion rings, which was pretty underwhelming. The coleslaw actually tasted good, but again, the serving was tiny. To be fair, the prices do reflect what you get, so I wasn't expecting huge portions. If you're looking for an inexpensive meal, Cook Out delivers decent value. Overall, I'd probably come back for one of the chargrilled burgers, but I would definitely skip the hot dogs and keep my expectations in check when it comes to the sides. Three stars feels about right.

I received my order at 10 pm and all of the food items were wrong I also received a cup of tap water despite the order board displaying "bottled water" as the water drink option. I parked and walked inside to get things sorted. The cashier at the counter was very attentive, apologetic and quickly righted things. She informed me that they had a lot of new employees and were still working things out. I appreciate her honesty and efficiency! Had it not been for her this would have easily been a 1-star review. It seems Cookout is the place for high schoolers to hang out on summer nights. Upon exiting the building there were several large groups of kids standing about & sitting at the outdoor tables. And the drive thru lines were both packed out by the time I got back to my car. Overall, I wished I had stopped somewhere else.

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 was buying for some one else so I didn't make a scene. The place was smoked out so I knew I was about to get a good charbroil burger but I was clearly wrong. I hate 3rd Ave Burger King that's located in Birmingham, Alabama. They need to shut it down and build an entire different one. This is not acceptable to the everyday hard working people who simply want a great meal done the right way. I should have went another direction. SHUT IT DOWN.. THEY DO NOT CARE FOR ANYONE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED RESPECTFULLY. No star is more appropriate.

Then the sad part is the food isn't piping hot so why are you waiting? Management really needs to get the ish together at this location.

Is the second time I've been to this location and it will definitely be the last time I come to this location. When it was owned by Magic Johnson it was a little bit better but now it's completely horrible now. I would definitely not stop at this location if you want Burger King.

While searching for a vegetarian restaurant in the Birmingham area, Al's Deli & Grill popped up, so…read moreI gave it a try. Al's is right by UAB's campus and serves American and Mediterranean food. Their exterior is nice in theory, with a fountain and a pretty fence, but it needs some cleaning up. Their parking lot could also be better. It's a small lot hidden behind the building with some potholes and invisible parking lines. The interior is quite small, but they still have enough seating. I came in with the intention of trying a vegan menu item, but I was informed by a kind man working behind the desk that he wasn't sure what they had that was vegan. He asked another employee if they had falafel at the moment, but they didn't. He was very helpful, but I was still disappointed that they didn't have falafel since I've tried it before and enjoyed it. I continued to look at the menu and finally decided on the veggie burger. The price was nine dollars and some change, which was baffling to me as I only ordered the burger and nothing else. I only had to wait a couple of minutes for my order, and I took it to go. The burger was packaged with care, large in size, and had plenty of toppings. The burger tasted good and didn't have that weird taste that some vegetarian meat patties have. I really enjoyed the bun of the burger in particular since it was really soft, not soggy, and had lots of sesame seeds. The veggie burger is a pretty good vegetarian option on their menu!

I have tried a Mild & Medium. I think I could tolerate the Hot but that would still be a reach. Their mild is what many others would consider medium. I noticed the last visit that Lite Mild was an option in addition to the No Spice. Because of the wait, I ended up taking mine to go on the most recent visit even though I originally intended to dine in. Even to go the food was excellent! Despite how busy they were the staff remained pleasant and provided a great experience. I love the decor both inside and out. The music is a little on the loud side and could make conversation difficult if you have a larger group dining in. Maybe try the patio seating area instead. I wish it was closer to home, I would probably visit more often.
