This is the place to go if you are looking for gourmet olive oils and balsamics…read more I became a fan initially after purchasing some oils from a booth at a farmer's market. Now that they have a storefront on hwy 280 (in the shopping center with Krispy Kreme), they are more easily accessible. The store is set up like a tasting room. You get a personalized tasting experience as someone guides you through and allows you to taste the variety of oils and vinegars. Therefore, You know exactly what you are buying. Did I mention they will deliver? And it's free!!!!!!I don't know the exact area of delivery but I do know they will deliver to Chelsea.

The best whole grilled chicken in town!!!! I love ordering their grilled chicken, which is only…read moreavailable on the weekend. The chicken so well marinated which makes it so juicy to the bite and you taste the season to perfection. You get all the smokiness from the grill. Don't know if they use wood to grill them but there is just so much flavor on the chicken. I can even see the smoke from miles away. Maybe I'm exaggerating but you will too once you try it!! I always order one to two whole chickens depending who is eating and always ask them to cut them in parts. If I forget to request it cut, pardon me but you will see me dig in to that chicken like a cavewoman!!! The order of chicken comes with two decent salsas and a cabbage salad with radishes, tomatoes cucumber and lime to sprinkle it on top. The red chipotle salsa is hot and the green should have been medium but felt it was also hot, so be prepare hopefully the batch of salsa is not as hot on your trip. I also buy a pound or two of warm homemade corn tortillas, so I always ask if they have any since they almost always run out late afternoon. Depending on the occasion I will make me chicken tacos, prepare some sides with it, or just dig in like a bucket of full of chicken. So I fully recommend getting their whole grilled chicken if you are in the area during the weekend, you will not regret it!

The portions are GREAT and SUPER shareable, the food reminds me of a Sunday afternoon at your great-great-great aunties house who has never been married and has married the thought of being an excellent cook instead. This food was what the kids nowadays called "Bussin!" We had the fried porkchops, beans, greens, mac and cheese, corn, cornbread, and I feel like I'm missing something but the amount of food and great taste has put me in a daze! They are a bit slower for the service, BUT totally worth the wait. Good food takes a minute, so if you have a little time to wait, do it! Price is great for the amount and quality of the food.

But you do need to be prepared to wait. We went for lunch on a Sunday and stood in line for about 45 mins. We knew we would have to wait so it really didn't bother us. They have cold waters waiting on you. We got the oxtail plate over rice with Mac & cheese and candied yams. The oxtails were pretty salty but the rice helped a little bit. The Mac and cheese is alright but not bad and the candied yams were very sweet and more on the firm side. We also got the turkey wings over dressing which was okay. Each plate comes with a big piece of cornbread. For the price, the portions, and if you're in the area, it's definitely worth a try if you have time to wait.

I went to the Mountain Brook take out only location, and I was relatively impressed (in the salad…read morerealm). The Moroccan delight was a beautiful, lush spinach salad with a hearty helping of chicken (extra cost) and chickpea protein. You could tell the ingredients were fresh. Most of the time when I get salad, I'm afraid I won't have enough to eat, but not this time. For me, the icing on the cake was the curry-herb Greek yogurt dressing. This would be really unique and tasty in anybody's book, but especially for a curry fanatic like myself. I finished the meal with the Not Your Mama's rice crispy treat - healthy, yet satisfying. I will say, though, that my return visit wasn't as delightful. The salad I got had a container that wasn't full like my first visit, and the ingredients didn't seem as fresh. Might have stayed in the fridge a smidge too long. Overall, though, exceeded my expectations!

I decided to try their Santa Fe bowl. The bowl comes with black beans, roasted sweet potatoes, cherry tomatoes, goat cheese, and pumpkin seeds. All of these flavors add up amazingly giving a combination of crunchiness and tanginess. The flavors combined all together enhanced the flavor so well and created a balance of each ingredient. Additionally, the spicy chipotle vinaigrette brought it together with a perfect amount of spice level. You can also add a protein option to the bowl but it is still delicious either way. Overall, the restaurant was very clean, neatly organized, and the staff were really sweet.

They have limited seating inside; however, outdoor seating, and the parking is awful based on the location and density of retail businesses around the location.

I also think that this is a great place to just grab some peanuts, a cold beer or drink, and relax. The service is always so pleasant, and it is just a fun and relaxing atmosphere. My last visit, I went with my sister on a Saturday night while we were downtown, and we had such a good time. I will definitely have this as one of my regular casual hangout spots, as I always have the best time when I stop in. Their peanuts are also very tasty, and they have a super wide variety of choices. I love this place.

If you've never had boiled peanuts before, or are visiting Birmingham, these are a must try. My go to are the cajun ones. And, btw, boiled peanuts are exactly what they sound like, and yes, they are delicious. You can also find them at gas stations, on the side of the road, or on the adorable Morris Ave in downtown Bham. This place kinda operates like a bar, you order at the counter and sit down at a table. They have dry roasted peanuts, too. Anything from here would make a great hostess gift.
