    Yard Work Skillet

    TL;DR -- We love BBB but this location needs some serious love from the management/owners! Our Sunday ritual always includes BBB. We decided to try to Dolly ridge location this Sunday since the one by our house is always packed. We were super disappointed with the food and service. Please bring back writing down orders! We had two different people ask us twice what we ordered right after we ordered it because they didn't write it down. I ordered my usual (the yard work) and it was ENTIRELY spinach. Of course the skillet should have spinach but it's supposed to have other ingredients too! The cappuccino was just hot milk. The only thing that came out right for us was the brûléed grapefruit, it was amazing (per usual).

    A cheese omelette. Weird looking but tasty.

    The food was good and the service was too. This location was superior to the Homewood spot - better parking, nicer interior, no waiting in a line on the sidewalk. There were four of us and we each got something different. We sat by a large window and enjoyed the light and open feeling. Two of us had cocktails and liked them. This location gave me a good feeling about BBB after having previously written it off. Give it a try.

    Such a cute place! The staff were all very friendly and helpful. It was very busy but our table never wanted for anything. I had the biscuit crumble and my daughter ordered a sausage egg and cheese biscuit and a grapefruit brûlée. I'd never ever thought about brûlée on a grapefruit but it was delicious!!!

    very friendly environment,the owner is lovely as well thank you all for taking care of us.

    Beat breakfast in town and it's not even close. Order hashcakes and sausage patties with a biscuit for the win. You'll thank me later.

    I finally got to check out Bygones! My friend and I went for a late night bite and a cocktail, and…read morewe sat at the bar. The service was quick and the hospitality was unmatched. They have a food truck that I've heard wonderful things about and I ordered the chicken Caesar salad. It was almost like a chopped Caesar salad and it was just the right amount for a small girl dinner. If you like Parmesan cheese, this is a must order as they do not skimp on that! What was really nice however was that you couldn't tell the food was from a food truck. It was great quality and you are able to order from inside the bar and they deliver it to you. That was a great service. I can't quite remember which cocktail I got, but it was very delicious and at one point the server had even given me a new chilled glass so my drink would remain cold as I sipped on it. This is definitely a great date night spot or just a place to grab a drink with friends, definitely a little more upscale as we were there in the evening, so the lights were dim. I won't drop my rating as it's spring time in the South but I remember being cold immediately as I walked in- but that's typical for a lot of places.

    I'm a bit torn because I felt this place was great but my fellow revelers (aka my husband and…read moreinlaws) felt the service was off. For my part, I thought the cocktail I had was fantastic. My husband and FIL liked theirs too. My MIL felt there was barely any alcohol in hers but I cannot confirm. We did have a hiccup with the bill being completely wrong (and we were overcharged twice) but it was all settled. There were not very many people at the bar for a Friday night. But perhaps it's a more late(r) night place. We are all geriatric in our party (sort of). I didn't mind and it seemed to be picking up when we were leaving. Overall decent, but maybe I miss Pale Eddie's just a bit.

    Sloan's Bourbon Bar never misses. The night I went, they were hosting a WhistlePig tasting, and it…read morewas such a great experience. I ordered the featured Old Fashioned for the evening along with a WhistlePig flight, both were excellent. The Old Fashioned was smooth, balanced, and exactly what a bourbon lover hopes for. One thing I really appreciate about Sloan's is that they host tastings almost weekly (or very often), and they're great about posting details on their social media so you always know what's coming up. It makes the experience feel curated and intentional. The service is always amazing; knowledgeable, attentive, and clearly passionate about bourbon. And the atmosphere? Grown and sophisticated. It's the perfect spot for a date night, a business meet-up, or just a refined night out if you appreciate a good pour. If you love bourbon and want a polished, elevated experience in Birmingham, Sloan's is the place

The hanging clouds, the purple mirror near the restrooms, the green stools... it all feels playful and inviting. And the fresh, dainty flowers at each table are such a beautiful touch. It's those little details that make the space feel extra special. I ordered the Iced Clouds Cold Foam with Vietnamese coffee. The foam was absolutely beautiful in the cup... not quite as beautiful once my straw made contact and it jumped onto my white shirt. We had a moment. Still worth it. I also had one of their cheese danishes, and let me just say... the best I've ever had. Light, flaky, buttery, with just the right touch of sweetness and powdered sugar. It didn't stand a chance. Danny and Green were amazing and provided such friendly, welcoming service. Truly delightful humans. I also love the concept of a coffee shop by morning and cocktail lounge by night. It's creative, fresh, and just makes sense. Definitely a place I'd love to come back to.

The interior is cute and fun, the service is great, but the drinks are also way above average. Vietnamese coffee is to die for and it's so good here. I also got a matcha and was very pleasantly surprised. I'm a big matcha drinker and have NEVER had a good matcha at a cafe until I tried it here. I didn't know the latte was sweetened by default, so that would be my only change next time. Definitely will be coming back!
