During the pandemic, we had a really good meal from here, but I don't think I reviewed it. Today…read morein heading back to work from an appointment, I decided to stop and eat in. This place is in the shopping center next to the Vestavia AMC on Highway 31. This place is beautiful and clean - just like the food. They prepare your meal fresh while you watch. I chose the Chicken Tinga bowl with cauliflower rice, and a Pomegranate Mint Lemonade. The nice guy talked me through all of the ingredients as he was fixing the bowl. The bowl was recyclable, and full of deliciousness. Chicken with a touch of heat, corona cheese, kale, celery, black beans, corn, cauliflower rice, avocado half, and a sweet-spicy dressing, all mixed together in a beautiful blend. I could not stop eating - it was THAT good. And if you are not a fan of pomegranate or mint, then you may not appreciate the Pomegranate Mint Lemonade like I did. So delicious and refreshing! (And yes, I took the last of this lemonade out of the container.) Appreciate the friendly service and the amazing food. Well worth the $22.00 paid for it!

This was my first visit to not only this location but even any similar concept…read more Since I have been trying to do a little bit better for my health, I am trying to make better choices and this seemed like a good place to help with those decisions. I decided to go with the Southwestern Steak Salad (Cabbage & Cilantro Blend, Romaine, Seared Steak, Black Beans, Corn, Jalapeño Peppers, Pickled Red Onion, Tortilla Chips) but left out the peppers & onions for personal preference. You can customize however you like even substituting different toppings. The steak was cooked well done but not dry and seasoned well. I found the chipotle ranch to have a bit more heat than I expected and would probably choose a different dressing next time. The serving size was very filling even for someone like me with a big appetite. The staff was friendly & helpful and restaurant was clean with a good amount of seating. It seemed to have more people ordering to go than dining in but was nice enough if not pretty plain. Overall I will likely return and try some other options but I'm not in a big hurry to go back.

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

The food is a little heavy and we recommend sharing a lot of things. This is just where food and fun live harmoniously. We look forward to coming again. Service here is warm and friendly, bring a smile to share.

We were really craving Thai food and decided to order takeout from Senlek, and I'm so glad we did…read more I was pleasantly surprised to see that all of their takeout containers were slightly vented to prevent moisture buildup, helping keep everything crispy and maintaining the quality of the food. I've ordered takeout from countless places and have never seen that level of attention to detail. We tried the spring rolls, beef short ribs, pad Thai, and panang curry, and everything was delicious. The sauce that came with the spring rolls was amazing, and the sauce for the beef short ribs was just as good. So much flavor. The panang curry had a nice little kick, and the pad thai had the perfect amount of peanuts on top. My only minor complaint was the beef in the curry and pad Thai - it wasn't nearly as flavorful as the short ribs. That said, it definitely didn't stop me from enjoying either dish. I also want to add that I had the chance to speak with two staff members, and both were incredibly welcoming and personable. Great food and great service. I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!

Cozy atmosphere but seems like the AC isn't working today but that's not their fault…read more Service was spot on and answered some questions for me after I got my meal about what I had. The food was a bit different than I'm used to getting at Thai restaurants and I will explain that below. Let me start with the Papaya salad. It was excellent. Possibly the best I have had. It had fresh green beans in it which I thought was very unique. We ordered it medium spice and it was spot on. I had the Chicken Pad Thai. This is where I had questions. I liked the idea that they used a cut up grilled chicken breast very different. There also some other cubes in it and that was what I had to ask about. It was tofu and the firmest I've ever had. Not heavy on the tamarind which I appreciate. On the scale it was good. What my wife had was where they fell down. She had the red curry and it was just ok. It was quite watery which muted the flavor of it.

Brought the family in for dinner tonight and sat outside. We had the beef kabobs, lamb haneeth,…read morelamb masloug, and lamb mandi. Dinner also come with a salad and a rich aromatic broth to start with. Quite refreshing! Beef kabobs were good, but once we tried the lamb dishes, it paled in comparison... First all of the lamb was SO tender it was all falling off the bone! We did not need any extra seasoning, though if you run on the salty side you may need to request... Then as we were headed out talking to one of our hosts, come to find out the lamb is from a local farmer/rancher, which in this old/ex chefs mind took this to yet another level. I will absolutely be back again and am so mad that I waited so long to try it! Please treat yourself to the local gem!

I was really excited to try this place because of the good reviews but it was such a letdown…read more When we walked in, there were maybe two other customers. We were seated pretty quickly but waited about 30 minutes before the server came back to give us menus. He appeared to be the only person working so I tried to cut him some slack but it was another 20-30 minutes before we were even able to place our order. They brought out salad appetizers, which were essentially just fresh-cut lettuce with no dressing or flavor. Our food finally came out after about 45 minutes of waiting. I ordered the Beef Kebob and my husband got the Lamb Mandi. The beef itself was flavorful and tender, but there were only about 4-5 small pieces sitting on top of a huge portion of rice. The rice was bland and dry. The lamb mandi also lacked flavor, and the lamb was very dry and bland as well. Overall, it was a pretty underwhelming experience.

They change the menu up from time to time which is nice because I like to try everything on the menu. Cannot go wrong with Mama's chicken, unless you have something to do that afternoon. My current go to's are the fish sandwich (red fish), or a caesar with blackened chicken.

The good: they have a parking lot with a decent number of spots and a very nice covered patio with…read morelots of TVs. Oh and they have several NA beer options that aren't badly priced. The not good: the service. We had 2 servers on a Sunday afternoon. The first was very good. The second was non existent. The manager had to come take our orders and refill water. The menu has limited vegetarian options - extremely limited. I got the quesadilla and asked them to hold the meat. But it was insanely filled with cheese like to the point I thought I was going to choke on a blob of cheese. Just not a place to come if you're hungry and don't eat meat. I'd come back for a beer and to watch a game. But I wouldn't plan to eat here. A veggie burger option would go a long way here.

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!…read more For this week's vegetarian/vegan/gluten-free theme, I picked Chopt Creative Salad Co., and I honestly love it. I'm not fully vegetarian or vegan, but I really appreciate having options that feel fresh and not heavy. Every time I go, everything just tastes clean. Nothing feels overly processed or greasy, and I don't leave with that "why did I eat that" feeling. What stands out to me is how easy it is to build something without meat and still feel satisfied. They have plenty of plant-based proteins, grains, and toppings that actually have flavor. It doesn't feel like you're just eating lettuce. I also like that you can customize everything exactly how you want it. I usually order the Farm Bowl (I think that's what it's called) with almonds, apples, sweet potatoes, goat cheese, and chicken. I always get the dressing on the side and swap the goat cheese for tomatoes. The mix of sweet potatoes and apples with the crunch from the almonds is so good. And honestly? It would be just as good without the chicken, which I love because it shows you don't need meat for it to feel filling. The vibe is simple and modern, and it's a good spot for a quick lunch. Service is always splendid! Overall, it's one of my favorite healthier options because I feel energized after eating there instead of sluggish. I'd definitely recommend it if you're looking for something fresh and lighter.

OMG what was good was even better. Even more important, they listened and actually considered and used my idea. I can't wait for my next visit. I'm anxious to try something that's completely new to me. At Adam and Eve I have complete faith it will be fantastic! Sorry... didn't think of pics soon enough... it was just too good.
