It was super packed with people and even had multiple people behind us in line as we ordered. So it shows very many like this place for sure. The food we each had was good to eat and it was comfortable to sit and speak inside. To be a super historic place this is a cool place to grab some lunch and have multiple versions to select. The servers were all nice as well and the cleaning workers were constantly cleaning every single spot constantly so it was a nice clean and setup place.

I am part of Best Buddies at UAB, and my group was recommended this spot by our buddy, so we all got to try it together. Once inside, you get a tray and slide it down the line while picking what you wanted. I ended up ordering the grilled chicken plate, which came with two sides and choice of bread. The most standout items to me were the grilled chicken and jalapeño cornbread. I was surprised at how juicy and flavorful their grilled chicken tenders were, and the cornbread had a good amount of spice. The other standout aspect was their incredible service. Although you get your own food, our server was extremely attentive, asking if there was anything we needed and refilling our drinks every ten minutes. Everyone was also extremely kind and welcoming, and you could tell how much they care about getting to know their customers. There is also a drive thru if you are looking for a quick homestyle meal. This place is amazing if your are looking for southern cooking, a homestyle meal, or even just an affordable meal with quick and kind service!

The chicken was not thoroughly cooked and the customer service is just terrible when you bring it to their attention. Can you believe the manager or owner that takes up the money or whatever he is tried to argue and make excuses about the chicken not cooked thoroughly? You may ask me why didn't you take a picture of the food? Because I was just that disgusted I didn't even want to whip my phone out to take a picture. I was just trying to get out of there, not thinking about how I just wasted more cash on terrible food. It was just that disgusting. I can tell you one thing. I will not be back and you can take that to the bank!

Parking is easy, there's a lot plenty big outside. It's been here over 50 years!

My folks and I made a run down to Birmingham to catch the tail end of the French Moderns exhibit at…read morethe BMA. Ted's was our pick for lunch! We arrived fairly early, shortly after opening, but the place was already bustling and the hot bar was full of yummy-looking and smelling food. It has a pleasant, sort of old-timey feel, which makes sense given it's been open since the 70s. This is a "Greek and three," fairly common in Bham, so they offer country cooking favorites like fried chicken in addition to Greek foods like souvlaki. You order as you move through the line in front of the hot bar. The food is protected from guests by glass so it doesn't feel as icky as a buffet does (to me, at least). The folks working the hot bar were pleasant and working diligently. There was one waitress who was suuuuper bossy and a little short with me (she really didn't want me to stand still and look at a paper menu, apparently), but she eventually warmed to us after my dad chatted her up while she was getting our drinks. I ordered fried chicken with yams and fried okra. My mom also got fried chicken, hers with mashed potatoes and cabbage. My dad tried the baked Greek chicken with green beans and macaroni and cheese. I snagged a roll and a sweet tea to drink. The tea was refreshing and not overly sweet. The food was overwhelmingly quite solid. My fried chicken breast wasn't ready when I ordered it so I had to wait a while for it to be prepared, but on the bright side it arrived piping hot and super crispy. It was great fried chicken, clearly brined and flavorful throughout, not just on the crunchy batter. The yams were nicely spiced and not overly soft. The fried okra was a delight as well, crispy and plentiful. The roll was average, but nbd. My parents were also quite happy with their meals. My mom RAVED about the cabbage and ate all her mashed potatoes and gravy. The macaroni and cheese was outstanding (I wish I'd gotten three sides and it been my third). The Greek chicken was succulent and light. The only so-so item was the green beans, and even those were decent. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Birmingham! One of the better meat and twos/threes I've had in a while.

Both were so good and generous portions that left me full. Wife got the turkey and Swiss and raved about the sourdough bread and how fresh it tasted.

Perfect spot for a relaxing lunch downtown.

It was a slam dunk, as usual. The smaller size of the salad has always been enough to fill me up. I typically add chicken, but I branched out for the brisket this time. The brisket here is incredible, order the brisket sandwich if it's your first time here. I'll stick with chicken on the farro salad next time tho, definitely not the intended pairing. I love coming here for that salad because it makes me feel hashtag healthy. Love a fast-casual vibe for lunch. The staff here was super efficient and kind. I've never had anything bad from here. The soups are outstanding.

Our work group had lunch at Bistro V on 6/11, and it was very nice…read more This restaurant sits in the shopping center on the corner of Montgomery Highway and Tyson Drive in Vestavia Hills, next to Snapper Grabbers Restaurant. The restaurant is gorgeous, with beautiful artwork adorning the walls and cool tables all around. The second area of seating had a nice bar area and more gorgeous artwork on the walls. Our server was super kind and gave us time to review the menu while he shared the specials. I decided on the Fried Shrimp plate, which came with sweet potato fries and slaw. My coworkers got different things from the menu, and a couple of them asked for his recommendations. He said the crab cakes were amazing and also the scallops. It took about 20-25 minutes or so for all the food to be ready because we had a large party. Everyone at our table seemed to really enjoy their meal. My shrimp were perfectly seasoned and fried. The sweet potato fries had a good flavor to them. The slaw was a little more liquid than I am used to, but it was good. The only reason I cannot give the full 5 stars? Parking at lunchtime is ABYSMAL, and this was at 12:30pm (on the back side of lunchtime). We had to "fight" the Chick-Fil-A drive-thru traffic to turn into the parking lot for Bistro V. Then we had to circle the parking lot multiple times to find parking places. I finally found a place behind the Regions Bank to park and walk back to the restaurant. It was a mess out there. Other than the horrible parking, the food was great and the place was beautiful. I would definitely recommend you try it out!

On my last group dinner there I simply had the Boston Bibb Salad with a cup of the shrimp corn chowder, I found both satisfying. Our server was stellar, anticipating our needs and then giving us room to enjoy. Apologies for what might appear as a vague review... Many people seem to really enjoy the restaurant, and it seems to have an active clientele, I just haven't found a reason to initiate going back myself.

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!
