    This was my 2nd visit to Bakery Square and I'm glad I finally got an opportunity to eat at GGs café. The café is run by two sisters-Meredith and Christine who also operate a custom bake shop in Homewood called SugarxButter. Everything here is made from scratch. I was asking about their chicken dishes which is their signature item and at their suggestion got their daily special-Alabama chicken with hot sauce. My son who was with me got their jackfruit cakes-being vegan along with a side of fried green beans, and Brussel Sprouts. Being part of Galley Bakery Square you need to grab your table before you order so you can give them your table number. You can also scan the menu with the barcode located on the table menu. When paying by credit card the credit card fee is passed onto you. This fee is not done by the individual concept but rather the Galley itself. Expect to pay more since these people are chefs. Once seated we got our food with minimal wait. My chicken was so good and had the right amount of spicy kick to it without being overbearing. My son loved his jackfruit cakes and shared some of his fried green beans and Brussel Sprouts with me. Meredith had prepared a special green dipping sauce for the green beans. They were very good and of course being fried, very filling. The Brussel Sprouts were good as well. I wanted to end my meal with one of their homemade chocolate chip cookies which I had before but alas, they had sold out of them. They promised to reserve one for me on my next visit. Having had that cookie before I must say it was delicious and with the added touch of them putting whipped cream on it and a cherry makes it a dessert delicacy over just another cookie. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating at Galley Bakery Square. The South Parking garage offers you two hours of free parking when you come during a certain timeframe. Definitely a great meal with homemade goodness!

    6 tough ribs and a side of Mac and cheese for $22. Not a fan.

    Really disappointed. Place my order and they never asked for a table number so I had to stand around and wait. The guy walked by me several times with other orders and never thought to mention I could go sit at a table ( my wife had a table at the other end of the room). Then when my order came out it sat on the counter for a good five minutes until he finally came up to me and asked what I ordered ( there was only 1 or 2 people who ordered in-between). There was another guy waiting next to me who seemed to be having the same issue. More disappointment ensued when I got my food. The rib "special" was terrible. The ribs were drenched in bbq sauce but were super tough and flavorless. At least the Mac and cheese was good. The service hopefully gets better over time, but not sure I'll be back if the food doesn't improve.

    Yuuuum! I've been to Galley multiple times, but this was my first time trying GG's. I highly recommend! The chicken was very juicy! I was impressed! The drinks (mango lemonade and berry lemonade) were delicious as well!!! My friend had the salmon salad and the salmon smelled and looked amazing! It was cooked perfectly! Will definitely be back! Plenty of parking available!

    Located in Galley Bakery Square. We ordered the loaded fries and they were so delicious! Topped with buffalo chicken and blue cheese, perfect appetizer to share with friends!

    I ordered the salmon salad which was ok - there was nothing spectacular or negative about it. I did however ask for the french fries to be on the side. instead I got a side order of fries for $6 and fries still on my salad

    The Food is good but a bit expensive for Café. I would not recommend. The Security was excellent.

    Yay. So much better than Chik Fil A and probably more moral! The chicken tastes like real chicken…read morethat wasn't over-processed. My sandwich was delicious. I highly recommend the spicy mayo. There aren't a ton of options on the menu but what is there tastes really good to me. I'm glad this better fast food option is in my neighborhood. If I'm craving crispy crunchy chicken and a sweet Turners drink, I'd definitely be a regular at this spot. Service was friendly and quick. I ordered for pickup and my order was packaged great and ready to go. It's a chill spot that is laidback and like a diner feel. Well done!

    I've seen card board thicker than this sandwich and it probably would taste better too. The lady at…read morethe front desk was probably the worst service I've ever had in my life! Actually made rude comments, looked wacked out and was never at the front desk. So when she also forgot a portion of my order I had to lean inside the kitchen to get everything I paid for. To top it off this "chicken sandwich" was like what 5-10% chicken at best? It's honestly pathetic especially for the price they want to charge I used to enjoy bird on the run However over the past two years it gotten worse and worse every time to the point I will never come here again and advise everyone to stay away...better off going to chic fila where practically a child can deliver a better sandwich and food than this "establishment" also think this is my first negative review I ever left that's how bad it was.

    At least ten visits in the last three years: great bar program and solid kitchen…read more Granted that the menu can be dynamic, some highlights: The mozzarella sticks are archetypical. Amazing. Five per order. Get these. Semolina crusted zucchini: yummy. Like someone dared a chef to take a normally healthy vegetable and render it in a way like on to junk food and chef said, "challenge accepted!" One slice of the pepperoni cut in half is still enough food. Delicious. The crust is really good enough to think of it almost as another snack once you have finished the pizza. Sprinkle some Parmesan and pepper flakes on your plate and press it into the crust. Sublime. The broccolini with chili oil is an unexpected delight. I love the grill on the vegetable. Moxxie comments that it should actually be cooked even further. Salads are excellent. Front of house is consistently excellent.

I've never really been impressed by any of them. On that scale, AVP was actually pretty good. The dining area was nice, with clear design concepts and enough space that each table appeared to be a bit of a private space. The staff were also very much on the ball. Systems were in place. People were on top of things. In terms of food, we ordered takeout. The online ordering experience was pretty good. The packaging was great. Everything was labeled extremely clearly. The food was good in a very real sense, but never exceptional. The restaurant made attempts to pair interesting sauces and layers to the various vegetable appetizers, but none of them came across as exceptional. The artichokes were good, and maybe my favorite from among the sides. The greek salad was a standout favorite for the freshness of ingredients and coherence of the dressing. That felt like a win. The pizza was good but not exceptional. We ordered a few slices to try them out, and the crust was legitimately top notch for the style. Any toppings were just okay, and the variety of slices available for order was disappointing. I would have aimed for a little more red sauce on the plain slice, but I understand the tradeoffs there. All told, this might be one of the better options in Bakery Square, particularly if you're dining in. It's thoughtful. It's well run. At the same time, the food fell short of being legitimately impressive.
