Rock Cold French Fries

They may of been understaffed, the bartender we saw was always busy. But looked like he was the only one working. So he was killing it, but he had no support staff at all. Both our meals came out COLD, luckily our Appetizer was Hot. All the potatoes were under a heat lamp for maybe two Minutes from out of the Freezer.

Menu offering refill shaker

So I ordered an Espres-so Happy Martini and the menu says that it comes with a shaker for multiple pours. Long story short they brought me a single glass and when I asked for the shaker the waiter says the manager advised him it doesn't come with a shaker (although the menu clearly states it does) waiter proceeded to tell me if I had an issue w that I can talk to the manager. Shortly after she came to the table with the shaker that's almost empty and smugly says "I took the remnants of your drink and added some mix since you want it" mind you the shaker is almost empty, full of ice and tastes like water. I keep giving yall chances and you all fail me every time. She acted as if I made it up and it wasn't on the menu. But the waiter Jaylon was great no notes I'd come back and see him if the service wasn't always bad here. Do better

Dinner menu

When we walked in the lady at the front desk said the wait would be 10-15 min long but we waited for about 3 minutes to sit, food took about 10 mins. Our waiter was super nice, food was very good but the rack of ribs I had was pretty small for the price, other wise it's super good

I arrived at Applebee's on a Friday evening around 6:30pm. There was a short wait for a table. The patrons were spaced out and masks are required for everyone. The service was attentive and efficient. No complaints there. The manager was walking around, greeting customers, serving food, and making sure everyone had what they needed. I ordered the sirloin topped with shrimp and a Parmesan sauce. It was served with garlic mashed potatoes. I ordered it medium and that's exactly how it was prepared. I enjoyed my meal. I also ordered a Perfect Patron Margarita, which was pretty good. My only complaint is I didn't like the dressing on my Caesar salad. It tasted watered down. It wasn't good at all, and I couldn't eat it. Overall, it was a nice experience.

Don't even know how the food was. We sat for 15 min waiting for somebody to come up, then gave up and left. It wasn't even a busy night.

Make sure you a check your order. They never put all the items in. I have ordered multiple times and there is always something missing.

I have been here for lunch a couple of times now for The Work Week Lunch Deal - Standard Burger (or…read more6 wings), Side , Soda/Tea for $13.49. A really good deal! Seated immediately and ready to take your order as soon as you decide. The Standard Burger (Lettuce. tomato, onion, pickles, horsey sauce & american cheese) is really good. Fries are cooked just right. Previously I got a mix of the Fries and Onion Rings. Onion Rings are great too! I have had The Three Hander sandwich (Niman ranch corned beef, fries, tomato, jalapenos, creamy slaw, dijonaise, mozzarella on sourdough) from their original location which is great too. I should probably try other things as well but the lunch deal is hard to pass up. Since it is not too far from my office, will definitely continue to be a part of my regular lunch rotation. Only downside for me is the parking. There are limited spots on the street out front. Adjacent to the building there is a lot that is part of the apartment complex behind it but not really enough spaces for the 2 restaurants.

The location is connected to a Mexican restaurant with arcades separating the two. The atmosphere…read moreis family friendly and very upbeat. The staff was friendly and patient as I forgot my readers so a lot of questions were asked. Thank you Andreana. We had the tenderloin (which I haven't had in YEARS). I was not disappointed. We also had the southerner and it was tasty. They had a happy hour where I got a wine and husband got a frozen drink. Then round 2 I opted for the daily drink, daiquiri. Each day there is a different drink as a special. I enjoyed the music and the vibe. Would come back to this place when I'm in Birmingham again.

I wish I could give The Refinery a proper review, but unfortunately they made that pretty…read moredifficult. When I walked in they handed me the full menu... and then immediately told me I couldn't order from it. Apparently they're running on a very limited menu right now, which consisted of maybe three or four things. Bit of a letdown since I came specifically because I saw pictures of their smash burger and had dreams about it on the drive over. Instead I settled for the tacos, which were actually pretty tasty. No real complaints there. The drinks leaned pretty sweet, which makes me think there's a heavy hand with the syrups. The space itself is very small. It's decorated nicely, but you'll definitely feel like you're accidentally best friends with the people sitting next to you. The staff was fine overall, but very close and boisterous with each other. In a room that small, if one of the servers has the cackle of a woman who skins Dalmatians on the weekends... maybe don't pair her up with the funniest coworkers on the planet. All in all, a fine experience but not ideal. Call ahead if you actually want access to the full menu.

Want to splurge on a smashburger or go light with a salad? Want some sports television on three big screens? You know the answer by now. Lunch menu is served all day and they have a weekly dessert (I forgot to ask, I failed the mission darnit) . Very personable and small space - less than 30 seats in the house - so be prepared for the close quarters if you have a larger party. For hubby and I we had the perfect spot for two and enjoyed the industrial touches. Bathrooms were in the back, single rooms, and they were well taken care of and beautifully arranged. Thank you as always Birmingham.

I wanted to love this place SO BAD!! There's an attached arcade!!…read moreAnd the staff was SO NICE and friendly and helpful and I loved the industrial, creative decor. But we'd spent the day at McWane Center and we were starving so we were there to EAT! The food looked gorgeous but it tasted very meh. The onion rings had too much breading on them, which I didn't think was possible, but here we are. The part of the breading next to the onion was mushy so that threw off the texture of the whole thing too. The burger was very much like a Whataburger. Even the lettuce smelled the same. I got The Standard and the bun of the burger was a little mushy (similar to Whataburger) and there was not much meat. For an $11 burger, I'm expecting more than a Whataburger. My middle kid likes everything on her burger and isn't picky at all and the loaded kid burger looked impressive but it was about the same as mine. Not awful, but not very good either. Very close to the same amount of meat. She's the queen of the Clean Plate Club and she only ate half. The fries were good but a somewhat too salty, the dip that came with the onion rings was excellent and we ended up using it for the fries. We had 2 adults and 3 kids and our meal was $63 before tip for 5 waters, 2 adult burgers, 2 kid burgers, a kid grilled cheese, and a basket of fries and onion rings (I thought I was ordering a "side" of fries, not realizing I actually ordered a basket and it was a lot of fries and onion rings). We don't mind spending money on good food, but the prices here don't align with what you get. No one was more disappointed than me, I've been wanting to eat here for FOREVER!!!
