This past Friday, I was dropping off donations at The Foundry, and noticed that Hit Different was…read moreright across the highway. I jumped at the chance to try this place out because of the reviews of other Yelpers. The restaurant is sitting on the corner of Pelham Parkway and County Road 68 East, across from The Foundry Superthrift Outlet and Dollar General, and next door to TherapySouth. It is a nice sized place and the atmosphere is welcoming. I was helped by Dyron, who seemed like he never knew a stranger. He was so kind to everyone, including those on the phone. I even heard him say, "So we got your dad covered - what can I get started for YOU?" He was excited when he found out I was a "newbie". I love the menu. Each item has some form of "hit" in the name - slappin', crackin', slammin', and more. I ended up with the "Bussin' Burger" and a side of fries to go (since I was heading back to work). The food is cooked upon ordering, so my meal was nice and hot when I left. And I am here to tell you, the name of the burger was totally accurate! It was delicious - seasoned very well, and the perfect amount of toppings. The fries were good, but that burger - so good! No wonder Hit Different is a 2026 Shelby County Small Business of the Year Nominee! They deserve it and then some! Do yourself a favor, listen to the other Yelpers, and head down Highway 31 for an amazing meal at Hit Different! I am going back!

The employees were friendly and helpful with any questions. The pork chop was pretty good but the sides c weren't my favorite. I ordered a sweet tea fur my beverage which was good, not too sweet. This restaurant is located inside of a plaza with plenty of parking. My mom ordered the catfish and the portion size was huge. The meal for Sunday is 1 meat with 2 sides for $13. Great price for the portion size.

Honestly the best food truck I've had in my life…read more I'm from Arkansas and recently moved to Calera, got a burrito after work one day and it was so freaking good, I'm a huge foodie, and powerlifter so I appreciate big portions and well flavored food more than most and this hit the spot, the two workers (didn't catch their names) were SO polite as well to the point of me actually sitting down to eat outside in the heat. Along with that their obviously very in touch with their customer base I heard them refer to people by name, catch up with them about life and it just made the ambiance that perfect southern hospitality along with some of the best Hispanic food you can find. Honestly hope they do well enough to open a full shop as I'd be the first one at the door.

And that burger didn't stand a chance -- I savored every single bite. And the okra? The perfect compliment. It was fresh, battered with just the right flavoring, fried to the perfect balance of soft & crunch. And that container was packed with it! The service was on par with the food -- it was a joy chatting with Ms. Nettie B and her daughter. I know it must have been stifling inside that truck with grills grilling and fryers frying in full force, but they were both so pleasant! Mouthwateringly scrumptious meal. Customer service excelled.

But my Dad loveddd it! It was actually his first time trying greek food, so that was a win. I even had to come back another time to try the Big Basha smash burger and that was the BEST decision ever. That burger was sooo good! I swear it is my top 5 burgers now! I highly recommend coming here, the workers are so nice and helpful if you have any questions. It's even a vibe out there because they are playing music on a speaker while you wait. Definitely a spot I will keep coming back to!
