Sundays at Ferus are Fundays. This was my first visit to Ferus. My son, who works in Avondale, suggested it. Their outside area was really nice, plenty of seating and a stage with live music on Sundays. They also serve a Sunday brunch. I ordered the Avondale Breakfast Plate. It came with a biscuit, bacon a choice of eggs and side choice of either fruit, garlic herb potatoes which they were out of or cheese grits. The food was good, but being a busy Sunday, we had to wait a while for it. read more

This is the kinda brunch that sends you straight to bed for a nap after! My friend and I stopped by one Saturday and thankfully it wasn't too crowded. We were swiftly seated right by the window, which has a perfect view of Avondale park. We started with cocktails of course and my daiquiri was delish. I also tried pimento dip for the first time and it wasn't bad. The color and texture always seemed odd to me but Ferus has a really great jam or jelly type topping on theirs that adds good flavor. My salad was the bomb dot com. Plenty of bacon crumbles and blue cheese along with fresh veggies. My friend's burger was also tasty but the tots stole the show. The caramel dipping sauce that comes with it needs to be bottled and sold at the counter. read more

A great place to spend Saturday game day. We love bringing the dog here and sitting outside. The cocktails and appetizers are awesome! And they are all well priced. The bartenders are always super friendly! read more

Ferus on 41st - Pimento cheese and buffalo cauliflower - Breweries Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

I must say that I had a fantastic first time here , on a Friday afternoon! The outside patio ( with heaters) was very pleasant and enjoyable. My friend and I both had burgers. I tried the mushroom/Swiss and added bacon( didn't even get a pic of it). It was ok. I didn't overly LOVE it. As my side , I opted for the roasted Brussel sprouts. They were packed with flavor and I enjoyed them . We also had pimento cheese fritters. I loved the presentation... I hate grits so when I could distinctively tastes the stone ground grits. I didn't want anymore. Lol. My friend had the smash burger which is one of my fav burgers!!! She really enjoyed it! As her side , she had a mountain of fries! Plenty to share. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. They made sure we were satisfied with our food and beverages. I definitely love this Ferus location. I love the Trussville location as well. They both offer two different experiences and atmospheres. This location is in a prime spot- check it out soon!!! read more

I want to be able to give this location 5 stars, but the service is what brings them down. Our server was incredibly slow and just seemed uninterested in being there all together. The food is fantastic though. I wish I had remembered to take more pictures! I had the pimento cheese burger and the red velvet sundae bread pudding. Both were absolutely delicious. I feel this location has a better menu than the Trussville location. I'm about equal distance to the two and I would choose Ferus on 41st over Trussville. read more

Ferus on 41st - Rum Punch - Breweries Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

We went to this cute little restaurant while on vacation in Birmingham. There was live music, which we really enjoyed. It was a very laid back environment with a lively crowd. The server was very nice and ready to please. She was extremely accommodating to us. She also offered suggestions based on things she enjoyed, but also expressed that SHE enjoyed them. The food was a little more than average for the majority of the people at our table -- there were seven of us. I will say, however, that my shrimp and grits were AMAZING! I LOVED my brunch!! So if I could go back and get the SAME meal, I would! read more

Definitely on the top five list of best burgers I've had. I ordered it with all of the fixings and was not disappointed. This jewel of a spot is located in the Avondale area in Birmingham. Food is excellent with a great happy hour. Btw, I sat at the read more

My food and drink were great! Our server, who was also the bartender was really nice and friendly. I believe we were there kind of early, so it wasn't too crowded or anything. Nice and clean. We had the Hogpen fries that had bacon and pork rinds on them which were so good, definitely different! I also had the Hot Honey Bacon burger which was so good with the pimento and fried green tomato, I'll get that again! Also, you should try the Very Berry cocktail, it has Titos, blueberry puree, etc. Very good and potent lol. We will be back! read more

Moving into a restaurant location that was previously loved is a tough thing. Especially when it is totally different from a crowd and food standpoint. That is the thing for us with Ferus. We loved Fancy's and always felt like it was a great experience every time we went. It was also too crowded on the nights we actually went. So for this experience, it was much different. There was hardly anyone in there. And it still felt the same with different menu options. Can't blame Ferus on either of those. Just a different vibe to wrap my mind around. We decided to start with the fried pickles. They were plentiful and cooked well. But there was only so much we could eat with anticipation of entrees coming. I am a sucker for a French dip. So that is what I went with. It was very good with plenty of au jus. That is one of my pet peeves of some French dips is the lack of au jus. They fries were ok. But they seemed like they were in bag frozen. The vibe was very calm for a weekend night. Which is not the worst. Just, like I said, different. I would like to come back and have another experience before making any grand reviewing gestures. But right now. It was good, not great. A solid 4 stars. read more

Really cool venue with an outside patio featuring live music and cold beer. Good place to chill, have a drink and some food. read more

My husband and I stopped in for a few drinks at the bar. There appeared to be only two bartenders working the entire restaurant/bar area. The lines to order drinks and food were so long and did not move quickly at all. We had planned to order some appetizers but after seeing how slowly things were moving, we stuck to drinks. For a Friday evening, they really needed to improve their staffing. read more

Came here for lunch recently & it was ok I got the burger & my husband got the Philly steak sandwich My burger was ok but his sandwich was outstanding! I think I should've gotten the same our server was pleasant but seemed liked she'd rather be some place else if we come back I'm definitely getting the Philly I did however enjoy my drink but I forgot the name of it read more

I celebrated my birthday here last night, and everything was great! They were able to accommodate a large group with a table in the back. This place was beautiful and gave me real Nashville vibes! I loved the drinks here! It might seem like a brewery, but I got two cocktails that I absolutely loved. The rum punch and the vodka flavored with cherry limeade were both sweet and delicious! You would have no idea there was any alcohol in it at all. To eat, I had the BLT and the french fries. It was a ton of food! Both were delicious. Probably the best BLT and fries I've ever had. I cant wait to be back here! read more

I really enjoyed my trip to Ferus. I was really excited for this location to open up and I had really been looking forward to it. The weather was sunny. So I met up with a friend and we sat in the outside patio area. It was a light breeze, but it was still very pleasant. They had heaters in this area. So, when we did get a little cool, they turned them on for us. Katie, our server, took really good care of us and made good recommendations. The manager came out and was also very friendly. For the appetizer, we had Pimento Cheese fritters. I could have eaten these all night. The fritters also had some sort of syrupy sauce on the bottom that made them even more delectable. The pimento cheese was mixed with stone ground grits and then rolled into a ball and fried. So yummy and I would highly recommend. For my entree, I had the Smash Burger and it was great. I loved it and I could tell that it would easily be one of my favorite burgers. For my side, I had fries. They give you so many fries. It was enough to share. My friend had the Mushroom and Swiss burger and added bacon to it. She seemed to enjoy it. She had the roasted brussel sprouts for her side. The sides seem very plentiful. So we just shared our sides with each other. The brussel sprouts were seasoned really well and the fries were perfectly cooked (not too hard and not too much salt). I also had a Rum Punch that was really good. It was very refreshing. read more

We've come to Ferus a few times now for a quick drink or bite and have always enjoyed our experience. The only reason for 4/5 stars is because of the time it takes to get some service. The staff is usually inside or away when we come to the outside bar. We love to sit outside with our dog, though, and enjoy the Adirondack chairs they have that face the theatre screen outside. The food is also so delicious! We will keep coming back for the drinks & food. read more

We've been wanting to try the Trussville Ferus location for a while but got to the Avondale location first! First, great atmosphere and not just beer to drink, right up my alley. I got the rum punch and it was stout without being overpowering. I loved it. We also got the pimento cheese fritters and jalapeño jam. At first I thought they needed more salt but when I added the jam it was perfect! We split a double bacon cheese burger with fries. It hit the spot for sure! We finished off with their white chocolate bread pudding and it was amazing to look at and eat. Very impressed! We will be back and hopefully get to try the Trussville location as well. read more

Maybe we came at an off time and we weren't going for beverages but for a quick meal, but this was just average. The food was good..nothing special. The fries were the highlight of everybody's meal which in my opinion shouldn't be the case. Service was not what it should have been for only having 4 tables full in the whole restaurant. Server seemed inconvenienced and was not attentive to needs of the table. Too many options in Birmingham for food. If you are going to drink it may be a whole different experience! read more

Great satellite location for the brewery! They have Ferus items and other select guest beers. Also have a bar for other drinks. Has a nice outside area and patio as well! Parking is on the street, so park by the library and walk. Menu changes which is nice l, however they have some staples that are great! Like their burger read more

Been to this location & the trussville location & to be honest I think the trussville one is better, but the food here wasn't bad. We had loaded fries, the prime rib sandwich & potato salad. Don't get the potato salad unless you REALLY like dill. read more

Where do I start. First there is no host or a sign to say seat yourself. We came in on a Saturday around 4:30 it wasn't crowded yet they only had one waitress seemed like for the entire place. We order the fried pickles and wings. The pickles were okay we had got lemons pepper that wasn't hot and the maple sweet chili whatever flavor it is. That flavor was ok but their wings aren't worth $13 for 6 wings that aren't jumbo. I ordered the pomegranate fizz it was meh okay. The bartender was moving like a snail and my friend decided to cancel her drink order. She had no sense of urgency not sure what was her issue. I ordered the ferus burger and it was cooked beyond well done and a little burnt making it dry. Had it not been seasoned it would've been inedible being that I only ate half of it. My friend got the shrimp taco grilled option and they were okay. I would not recommend this place to anyone not even for a glass of water. read more

This place has so much potential but the service staff is below average. I've been multiple times and each time the staff members seem put out if I ask for condiments, have a question about menu, or for general help. Not to mention they expect a big tip for no service at all. You order off a QR code or at the bar counter. The outdoor space is so cool and the food is pretty good- it's the service that makes this place less than desirable. read more

Weird ever since they merged with Avondale Common House. Worst margarita I've ever tasted, fish & chips was not great. Other food was good. Vegan options were good. Service was good, the vibes inside was a little off for a Friday night read more

Absolutely terrible experience when me and my fiancé went to celebrate our engagement. We had to wait at least 7 minutes to even be seated by the hostess, we waited at the front the whole time. Finally we were told to sit at a wobbly table with nothing on it. We then proceeded to sit for 15 minutes without being helped or even looked at. Wish I could review the food but we didn't get the chance to order before we simply left. 0/10 experience, don't ever try to go there to celebrate a special occasion. read more

Poor service. Apparently a bus-your-own table kind of place. Beer in plastic cups. The service is as if no one works here.

Beer is good if you like hops and food looked like a typical beer joint. I will say the brunch menu looked yummy! Note you can not buy can beer at this location. Service was rude and slow. Be careful if you bring a dog. They have set rules but nothing is posted. read more

I catch a stomach infection last night out of a burger ‍ in still in pain y'all need to watch out I'm very angry

Atmosphere was awesome, food good, plus great open jazz group once a month, with Ckoco as the headliner.

I've been to the Trussville location a few times and really enjoyed it. The beer, of course, is solid here. Service and atmosphere were positive. The food is the issue here. Brussel sprouts were overly greasy. I haven't eaten at Arby's in decades, but I recall their Beef & Cheddar to be better than the version at Ferus. Too much bread. Not enough meat. The meat was also very fatty and seemed to be of low quality. I was really surprised since the food in Trussville has always been prepared to high standards. read more

I was so excited to try this place after seeing amazing pictures online. Food was over salted and subpar. I was sick before I made it home. I had the French dip and crispy Brussels. Drinks = terrible. This is a "no-go" for us ever again. And I won't even comment on service because it was nonexistent. read more

Vegan hamburger was delicious! Also the side of roasted broccoli. The restaurant has a cool vibe. The service was excellent.
