Best burger in Birmingham!! Yes that is a bold statement, but I stand by it…read more The burgers here are LEGIT. And they are consistently GOOD. We eat here A LOT. Probably 3-4 times a month with our family of 5. We've likely had everything on the menu. And it's all just really very good. Literally all of it. I'm a big foodie, so I don't just throw around this kind of truth . It's rare that a restaurant is consistent in the food quality, but The Ridge has it. It has that old school "Cheers" kind of vibe. They remember names, they make jokes, they have fun- the staff is just fantastic. It's why you see a lot of the same customers in there on a Friday night. The draft beer selection changes frequently and there's always a lot of good choices. The fries recently changed and they are fried potato PERFECTION. But the fries before that were also excellent (and so were the fries before that ) If you want good food, this is where you go! Our favorites: The Rebel Yell The Ridgeline Flank Steak Salad, sliced thin Cahaba King Jam Gouda burger (also try it with chicken) Nashville hot fingers Fried fish tacos

I should start by saying I have been a regular at Nikki's West since 1983 but since Covid the…read moreprices have jumped up, the portions smaller and some items have met the same slide. Well, in my mind they have been replaced by Home Plate Diner. Yeah it lacks the ambiance and the entree selections are fewer but the food is great, the portions are large, the price is right, the place is clean and the parking plentiful. Their website tells you by day what entrees they have. I you have your heart set on one don't come late because they may run out. They are closed Saturday but on Sunday they carve some great roast beef. My favorite is the turkey and dressing which always has just the right amount of sage. The Salsbury Steak and the baked chicken are more moist and flavorful than Nikkis. The veggies are cooked like grandma made them and served in large enough quantities that I just get two here. Service is great, the place can get packed at lunch time even though it is rather large. OK, some people think of a school cafateria look and notice the evening crowd is more senior but this olace has serious good food. Why just four stars? Well I couldn't give 4.5. The deduction is centered on one item. The rolls are smaller and denser than the one's at Nikki's.

We ordered off of their lunch menu and got the short rib sandwich with brussels and their cobb salad. While I personally can use a bigger portion, I was not starving at the end of the meal lol. I guess it is good policy to leave people wanting more, right? Food was tasty overall and they definitely have some unique items or ingredients in their entrees. You will run probably at least around 30 dollars for two at lunch. We obviously caught them at a busy time even though we were the only two there at the beginning as they were expecting a large party and they were prepping catering food, but our food still came out within a reasonable amount of time. I did notice one of the chef on his phone one minute and then touching cooked food that he's serving the next to package it for catering....without washing his hands. I can't help but find that a bit gross when I consider how very dirty a phone is since that's literally something you touch all day, all the time, regardless of what you're doing. I will leave it at that, ha.

We originally heard about Dyron's from TikTok and several people ranking restaurants and it being…read morein most of all of their top 3 spots. We started with the biscuits with whipped fig butter ($8) and they were good. We also got the crab claws and I enjoyed the cornmeal breading and homemade cocktail sauce. ($26) I got the Greg Abrams red snapper with cheese grits and green beans. This was good and the fish was flavorful but I couldn't get past the dryness of it. I enjoy a flaky, moist fish - not one that I have to saw into. ($46) David got the gulf flounder and jumbo lump crab. He enjoyed but said there could've been more of it. ($51) It was very crowded and I absolutely would not try it without a reservation. They obviously do something right. It feels like Mountain Brook locals absolutely love it and it's probably a weekly spot for them - just the vibe I got. It's casual but you could dress up and fit in too. Our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable. Parking was horrendous - as it's downtown Mtn Brook. We circled around several painfully narrow streets before finding a spot. But didn't have to pay for parking so that was a plus I guess. We would go again if someone else wanted to but not on our own regard.

I have been to the other location for dinner before but this was also the first visit to this location. Despite being only the 2nd of 2 customers at the location, ordering took a lot longer than you would expect. The 1st had already placed their order and was waiting on their food when I arrived. Once I ordered, it took longer than I expected to receive the order also. The chicken on the biscuit was as good as I remembered. The biscuit itself was meh. Instead of being soft & fluffy, it started crumbling as soon as I tried to pick it up to eat it. It fell apart so much, I had to resort to a plastic knife & fork to finish it. The hashbrowns were cooked perfectly and were a large serving size. Overall I thought it was a good value at $6 plus $1.50 to add the egg & cheese. Because of the wait and the biscuit, I don't see myself returning for breakfast. Maybe grab lunch here if I happen to be in the area but it's not close enough to my office or home to be a convenient option with any regularity.

It wasn't busy but there was one gentleman waiting for his order. My order was taken quickly by a young gentleman. I had to make a correction to my order but no biggie. Since the food is made to order, expect a little wait time. I was so satisfied with my food! My burger was seasoned nicely and had fresh toppings. The fries were plentiful , hot & delicious! I also had a canned sprite to complete my combo. This isn't a big restaurant. It could even be considered a "Hole in the Wall". There are a few seats available while you wait on your food and also a TV. The prices here are reasonable. The service is friendly. I plan to return soon to try their salmon patties and rice, which is served everyday!
