No flour on the back, at all. The grease got absorbed into the wings. 2 out of 10. If they were FRESH, this could be a different story. If you eat here regularly, I would love to hear your wing comments. I don't like bombing businesses. But, I have to be honest to other consumers. The fish was thin. It was reheated as well. It made the fillets CHEWY. The tartar sauce looks like honey mustard! I took a picture of it. No pickles or spices whatsoever. I wonder if they gave me the wrong thing. 4 out of 10. This could be an anomaly. I don't think I try either again. If I go back, it will be for hot wings.

We love this place - it is the best seafood place in Bham - the steamed crab claws are amazing !…read moreThe oysters are freshly flown in . I have not tried any other location in years - bc this place is always such a treat . I have tried some of the newer $$$$ seafood restaurants( bc my son wanted to go ) but I have always left disappointed. The fish market gets your food out hot & they do have great service , (this is why they're still in business.) I've been eating here at least 30 years - I like the casual ambiance & the oysters are to die for . In my humble opinion, this is the only place to get reliably great seafood ( & it has reasonable prices)

We must eaten there on a bad night all around because our review doesn't reflect what everyone else…read moreseemed to experience! We were seated promptly handed menus and about 30 seconds later approached by the waitress for drink orders. We asked for a drink menu as there was nothing to advertise what drinks they were serving. She returned with 1 drink menu for all 3 of us and stood there waiting until we decided. We asked for some time so she left and returned about 2 mins later. We ordered drinks and she returned 2 mins later to take our food order. We ordered appetizers, salad and main courses. The drinks came quickly, the salads came right after and then about 3 mins later, the appetizers came out. 3 mins after that, the main courses arrived so we had plates stacked everywhere on the table and quickly tried to finish our salads and appetizers before the main dish got cold. The waitress never returned to the table until she brought the bill. The plates were all cleared by someone else. We saw her leave a bill at the table next to us and wait until they checked it over and figured out a payment method, so when she arrived at our table we just handed her a credit card. The food was average but the overall experience was terrible. I realize she was probably new and this may have been her first night but some training would go a long way! For $180 dinner, we expected a lot more.

We came in for a birthday dinner, and our server was absolutely amazing; so sweet, attentive, and genuinely made the experience feel special. He even surprised the birthday girl with a complimentary birthday margarita with a candle in it to blow out, which was such a thoughtful touch! I started with the grilled oysters, and WOW they were amazing! They come with five oysters, but you can add more for an additional charge. Definitely worth trying if you're an oyster lover. For my drink, I ordered the mango margarita, and it was SO delicious! Sweet, refreshing, and the perfect pairing with dinner. For my entrée, I ordered the ribeye steak, which comes with roasted potatoes and mushrooms. Let me just say... this meal was EVERYTHING! The steak was incredibly flavorful, and the cream sauce that came over the steak, potatoes, and vegetables was SO delicious. I would absolutely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for a great dinner spot!

We visited this restaurant for a belated Mother's Day brunch and our food was fantastic…read more I had the swordfish schnitzel and it was one of my favorite entrees of the year. The swordfish was fried perfectly and not greasy at all. The cheese grits and cabbage paired nicely with the swordfish and it was a perfect portion size. Everyone else's food was very good as well and we enjoyed our crab appetizer and beignets. I wish that I remembered our servers name because he was fantastic. He was attentive and friendly and everything came out at the perfect time. We are looking forward to visiting again soon and trying more menu items.

I highly recommend the beef shawarma bowl. The meat is beautifully seasoned, the rice is aromatic, and the veggies on top blend perfectly. The portion size is generous. You can also get a shawarma wrap instead of a bowl, and what I love about the wraps here is that they use saji bread instead of pita bread. The saji is thinner and makes a perfect vehicle to carry the savory meat and veggies. The fries were tasty by themselves, so I'm definitely going to try the loaded fries next time. The hummus was good as well. But the star among the appetizers was the falafel, served as photogenic little donuts. They were slightly bland by themselves, but served with a tangy dipping sauce that made them much better. The Egyptian rice pudding was delicious, with a crunchy pistachio topping that elevated an otherwise simple dessert. As with most places in Five Points, parking is limited. But the parking situation is a minor inconvenience that is absolutely worth the trouble to dine here.

The only problem is it's hard for them to get a rare temperature on their extra thin steaks. Love the butter sauce they cover the potatoes, vegetables and steak in. Also Applebee's lack bread on their menu unless the pasta is ordered. Anyway, I sat at the end of the bar at "Club Applebee's" and made my order with the bartender. Unfortunately everyone was grieving the untimely death of a friend. I remember her from previous visits and dropped cash in the displayed jar in her memory. Even though I say I no longer drink, there's one exception to that rule. Applebee's Top Shelf Margarita was and still is my favorite cocktail. Once I was told the kitchen was running behind because of lack of experience line cooks, that was enough for me to have a drink as I waited and people watch. The music was thumping like no other Applebee's I've visited in any state! To my pleasure it was a great jazz channel. Some of the same regulars were in the same stools they were in the last time I was there years ago. By the time I returned from the facilities a chilled salt rimmed glass with olives was next to my shaker of margarita. I wish I knew their recipe because for all my efforts I can't make a margarita as great as Applebee's! This one didn't disappoint my memories either. Kudus to the bartender. I would suggest a sociologist PH.D candidate sit at that bar to investigate the mating ritual of that crowd. I have enjoyed watching so much a few times, my order got cold and I switched to ice tea in my shaker. Anyway, I enjoyed my order from Club Applebees. The steak was more Med than Rare as I ordered. The potatoes were crispy and full of the butter sauce at the same time. For once I received the extra onions and mushrooms I paid for and requested. They accidentally put someone else's salad in my bag even though it had extra blue cheese dressing that I couldn't use because I really dislike it. My order was perfect to enjoy with my feet up as I watched Top Chef. The people watching didn't disappoint nor did the music bother me. All in it was a great experience one can't get at any other Club Applebees because all other stores are just restaurants instead of a local joint like that one. If I was younger, was really a drinker and not concerned about getting a DUI, I might be a regular plopped on a bar stool being watched instead of the watcher.
