I always pass by this place but never thought to actually visit. This time I did. Boy am I glad I…read moredid. These guys know food! They serve breakfast all day and the lunch/dinner specials are great. It's a hole in the wall place but it works. There is no dining area perse so it best to get take out. The gentlemen there were nice and courteous and offered their best seller which is the fat mama burger which is two ground 1/4lbs chuck patties, bacon, shrimp, provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, ketchup, mayo, and mustard. It was delicious! The size of it was monstrous! It was magnificent! I had to cancel my order of fries! Lol They have beverages here but not on tap; everything is in a can. That's a good thing in my opinion. The prices of everything is very reasonable and manageable. The service is top notch but what I enjoyed the most was the conversation and recommendation as this was my first, but not last, time visiting. I'm so mad I'm just now trying them. I'll be trying their breakfast next time because I saw a plate the owner was making and it made my mouth water like a Doberman Pinscher finally getting that bone. They accept cash, debit, and credit, the latter via square and they'll email or text you a receipt if needed. Very convenient and practical. They also do catering so if you have a function coming up, give them a call. All in all, this was a great first time experience. Great recommendations, quick food service, awesome owner and cook, and worthy of service. Visit these guys ASAP!

I ordered the chicken sandwich and was impressed that it was not shredded but had big chunks of white meat drenched in BBQ sauce. If you've read any of my other reviews, you know I am not prone to giving 5 stars, but Fat Mama has proven itself worthy.

You can't really go wrong with a basic steak taco or quesadilla. This taco truck is in a convenient location with very reasonable prices. The service is friendly and attentive to each persons order. There isn't much seating if that's something you're looking for. As mentioned this is a good fast street taco spot. It's perfect for days you're on the go and want an affordable tasty takeout option. If you check out this spot let me know what you think. They have a wide variety of options on their menu. Don't forget to ask for their salsa verde. It's great and adds just the right amount of spice to your order. They also have soft drinks as well as jarritos. Overall I'd recommend and go back.

The first time I had SKA was in 2020 at an event at The Hangout (now closed). It was a bad…read moreexperience .. the event started late, the food wasn't good, the building had no heat on New Year's Day. Just bad all around. I said never again. Fast forward to this week, 7/2024. It was my turn to pick a place for happy hour. I called SKA last Thursday & asked what time happy hour is? The staff replied "Either 4pm or 5pm until 7pm." I asked her to please find out and I'd wait. In response she asked me what time I planned to come. I told her, 4pm. She responded, "YOU SHOULD BE FINE AROUND THEN." I was baffled and just asked for her name and ended the call ... We went to Courtyard 280 ‍ It just so happened that my friends picked SKA for brunch today, Saturday. I'd resolved that I was going for the company and would put all of my past experiences aside. My food experience had been prior the food truck and brick and mortar. So I was open to giving them a chance. I'm so so glad I did! They refer Saturday brunch as a Day Party. It's on the louder end of the spectrum, which is perfectly appropriate for a day party vibe. There was a DJ ... at some point my friend asked, Are they playing GloRilla?!? lol! I'm a fan so it was fine. Our waiter had great energy and he was attentive. The decor is nice. We ordered the mimosa flight. They were good, 4 flavors - strawberry, mango, blueberry, peach - not too sweet. I ordered shrimp and grits. The grits were thick (that's how I like them) and well seasoned. The shrimp was plentiful! was not over cooked at all. There was shrimp in most every bite. I'd recommend this. My friend ordered the fried catfish and grits and said she enjoyed it. The biscuit tasted canned - it wasn't needed though. This was a nice experience!

I was ecstatic when they started the Aww Shucks food truck and of course my excitement went through the roof with their brick and mortar. You want flavorful fire roasted corn? They have it in several different flavors! Be careful it is addictive. I personally get a 10 cob pan most times. You want tacos? See if they are offering them on a taco Tuesday. In the mood for a baker? Baby they have it and it is offering all the flavor! In the mood for a plate of plant based foods? Their hot bar always delivers! They don't skimp on portions, quality or taking your taste buds for a ride. Service has never missed for me. The location is easy to find and I don't have to fight for parking. Make your way to their store front or their food truck. Be sure to check their social media or sign up for their texts to see where they are beforehand. They're super involved within the community and getting out there so they may not have the store front open, but be out in the Bham streets instead.

I've seen them in various parts of town so chances are you've seen them around the Birmingham area at least once or twice. Known for their burgers and polish dogs the menu serves up delicious food that's saucy and fresh. They even have some vegan options for you. My go to is the polish dog that comes with a welcomed large polish sausage, onions and peppers drenched in their special sauce. The polish sausage is thick and seasoned with garlic. The hot dog bun and everything in between is a must try!

Big portions of familiar, messy, delicious things, a compact menu, and quick friendly service. It has been around for so long that it's something of an anchor of the local food truck scene, and those who've eaten anything from it probably all hope it sticks around for a long time. It's meat-forward. Big polish sausage dogs covered in chili/debris/perfectly sautéed onions, burgers that are dripping with goodness and heavy when you pick them up. Fries that are always crisp and piping hot. Long term consistent execution. As sure a thing as you're gonna get from a truck. If you see it, and you're hungry, consider yourself blessed.
