I went to Insomnia Cookies specifically for the oatmeal chocolate chip walnut cookie, and when I tell you it did NOT disappoint, I mean it! Insomnia is located downtown, and while the parking situation isn't the best, the moment you walk inside and smell those fresh cookies, it's all worth it. My cookies were warm, soft, and crispy all at the same time. Truly hit the spot! read more

Ordering ahead on the app was super easy. The staff were busy ensuring orders were brought out. The area was clean as well inside. My suggestion: It was slightly confusing figuring out where pick up and ordering for the first time was. I believe having a section of the counter reserved for pick up will allow the team at this location to make the pick up process smoother. I was waiting with others who had yet to order. The cookies and ice cream was soooo good! the package was perfect for travel back to my home. Just delicious 10/10. read more

When you drop a $5 bill, and only get one cookie and two quarters back for change, that baby better be freaking good! . Unfortunately, their deluxe cookies has got to have crack in them. It doesn't make sense for a cookie to be that good. So instead of dropping a $5, I'm usually dropping a $20! Ah, that freaking Oatmeal Walnut and Chocolate?!? They breaking me, yall! It's usually good service too. For some reason, I seem to always catch them while the cookies are hot! Ice cream ain't bad either. I should own the place to be honest. Next time, I'm asking the manager for my dividend. At this point, I'm claiming stocks in the Starkville store! Keep up the good work! read more

I know Insomnia can be a mixed bag for some. I can't really recall having a bad experience here but like I said, some have. My friend and I came here after attending a nearby event. Because who doesn't love warm cookies?! Show me to them! I'll wait ..... It was very busy at the time of our visit but this didn't detour us. The line moved fairly quickly. The staff was hardworking and were moving things along to get everyone served in a timely fashion. My friend and I shared a variety 6 pack of warm , delicious cookies. My 3 consisted of choc chunk , oatmeal /raisin and peanut butter. All were tasty but my fav was the peanut butter! It was so moist and delicious!!! The inside of the shop was clean. Kind of small but not bad when it isn't crowded. I have no real complaints. I just hate that I don't frequent IC often enough! read more

Do not order from this place. We waited two and a half hours for our cookies. Countless calls about where it was (I live very close). Kept being told they were lost. Then told they were delivered and they were not. There was no effort to fix the issue. In fact, they told us they were re doing the order and heard anything about that. Have never seen such bad customer service and still have no idea why a driver was driving around for two and a half hours when I live 10 minutes away. I have heard similar issues from others as well. read more

For that crazy late night sweet tooth? Picking up some warm cookies, with ice cream is an amazing idea, right? Well, that is exactly how I see Insomnia cookies! I have such a bad sweet tooth, and even though I have cut back drastically on my sweets, Insomnia is FOREVER going to be my late night go to place. They are fast too, whether it's one cookie or a dozen, they get your order, quickly get it ready for you and you are out of the door in no time. There has never been a time where I went and had to wait and wait and wait. Now don't get me wrong, I've definitely had to wait in line late on a Saturday night, but it wasn't a long wait and seeing a line like that is only going to confirm to me that I made the right choice. It's a small space, but it's not really meant for crowds to sit in and eat. My favorite is to get a scoop of cold ice cream and a couple of warm, just out of the oven cookies. You know the ones that are a little bit crunchy on the outside but so chewy inside? I'm almost drooling now! read more

This concept--late night cookies--was new to me so we had to stop. I understand from the staff that they are very popular with the younger crowd. We each got a couple of cookies each and enjoyed them on the way back to our hotel. They were tasty and it was handy to grab a small dessert, but not super special to me. Also, the thought of coating sweet cookies with thick frosting didn't sound appealing, but again, I'm not the target group for Insomnia. Fun concept! read more

I love Insomnia Cookies. It has been one of my favorite dessert places to go to. Usually, I get a six pack or a deluxe four pack. The cookies are always warm and soft when I get them and the flavors are amazing. I recommend the M&m, classic chocolate chip, and the macadamia nut. If I'm at home I'll warm it up in the microbe and pair it with some milk, one of the best combos! If you ever are having a sweet treat craving or a late night craving, I definitely recommend Insomnia Cookies! read more

I just so happen to pass this bakery and recalled reading about it on Yelp. I tried the the peanut butter cup cookie. This cookie is epic... It was warm! The flavor profile captured each and every detail I was looking for. Temperature, depth, chocolate to PB ratio, and its huge! The price... about $3.50 per cookie. That's a lot for 1 cookie; however, it was well worth it for the experience. The facility is small. Just a hand full of seats. I understand they deliver locally also! read more

You can't go wrong with late night cookies and ice cream. And to have the option to have it delivered to you? Uhm ok, I'll take 5 cookies and a scoop of ice cream. Luckily in my case, I was stuffed from my dinner and had VERY limited space in my belly, haha. We opted for our cookies and ice cream to-go. Plus, the limited seating available made it seem more like a waiting area vs a sit down area. My fiancé ordered a small ice cream to-go (2 scoops) while I ordered one of their regular chocolate chip cookies. Thoughts: If you like soft gooey cookies, this is your jam! If you like toasty crunchy cookies, this isn't your jam, lol. I personally love how they keep their cookies in a warmer. The melted chocolate on your fingers adds to the cookie experience! Their ice cream is on the less sweet side, which I feel works just fine with the sweet cookie. Obviously this is a cookie shop, so the focus is mainly on the cookies and not the ice cream. But they make the perfect match! And again, how can you resist warm cookies delivered to your door! read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. I placed an order for cookies to be delivered via the Insomnia app at 7:32 pm. By 8:45 pm, they had not been delivered so I called the store. I was told that the driver had returned to the store and just said he delivered them. I asked "where?" and was told that he "couldn't remember where." I then inquired as to how that happens. I was told "he honestly could have given them to someone else but I'll have another driver send you some more and throw in some extra cookies." I asked how long that would take and was told that they don't know an estimate because they cannot track their drivers. I then said, "well how am I supposed to know if they're coming in an hour or two or three?" The person on the phone told me that they only have two drivers and the one who delivered mine was gone (ALTHOUGH JUST ONE MINUTE PRIOR I WAS TOLD HE WAS THERE). Whatever. I accept the offer. A new deliverer arrives fairly quickly. Upon opening my box, I realize half my order is missing and the cookies are certainly old. I called the store back and asked for a refund, which was granted after my urging, almost demanding, a refund. Worst. Experience. Ever. Never ever again will I patron this location. read more

I discovered this place when I lived in Utah. The idea of being able to get a sweet treat whether it's cookies, or a scoop of ice cream when you're craving before bed is great. No complaints about the cookies, I enjoy the variety, and the inclusion of having vegan and gluten-free options. I stopped to pick up a variety pack to share with my coworkers, and everyone enjoyed them. My favorite is their white chocolate macadamia nut, and the mint chocolate chip. They're soft with crunchy edges, and the perfect amount of gooeyness. It was the perfect pick-me-up. The staff is always friendly, and fast when I come in. It's always clean, and the staff are welcoming. My only issue is, when multiple people have the same craving for a warm cookie the lobby area can get very crowded. read more

But instead they got our COMPLETELY WRONG, and sent us what i essentially called a variety box full of different cookies they serve! From macadamia, to snicker doodle, to some double chocolate cookie, we got so many different kinds! We called them immediately and they sent out the correct box and said we could keep the mistake. As we started eating up the mix up, to my surprise everything in the box was decorative, delicious and decadent..... any place that makes a mistake and is obsessed with correcting it Im with!

Very good cookies! After a few drinks, we ventured here (we were searching for ice cream!), and were met with a line from the cash register to the door at 10 pm! Apparently, we were in the right place for cookie cravings. I loved the cookie and ice cream variety, along with the amazing free smells that you get a whiff of when walking into their storefront. With HUGE, fresh cookies that seem to call your name when you open the door, it's a struggle to pick how many you'd like! We went with 6 cookies: Chocolate Chip, Macadamian Nut & Sugar x2 and a scoop of Praline Ice Cream. What. A. Treat! The cookies were fresh, soft and sooooo delicious!! And the ice cream was just as fresh! Such a great place to cure your sweet tooth! read more

If I could give it 0 stars I would. Absolutely rude service. Took my order incorrectly then told me I was wrong, even though 5 people agreed I had said the correct thing. I had even had a whole discussion with the worker about being okay with waiting 15 min for the cookie I wanted because they didn't have any ready. They didn't offer to correct it, didn't apologize, just argued with me and were extremely rude. For the price of the cookies, I expect at least mediocre service. read more

I was in the area and decided to give this bakery another try after a year has passed. This time around I decided to go during the day hoping to get fresher cookies. I must say that my thoughts about the quality of the cookies are the same as last year. I was not pleased with the freshness and quality of the cookies. I will say that the staff did a great job at social distancing and abiding by the statewide mask mandate. There were signs posted on the entrance door and inside the bakery requiring masks. read more

You can read the ingredients and you can comprehend what the items are. The meals are prepared meals that are sealed. This is not a service like Blue Apron or Hello Fresh. You heat and serve the dishes you receive. Our box contained (4) of the most popular dishes. Bruschetta Chicken- the chicken had decent flavor and was of good quality. The potatoes and vegetables were virtually inedible. Further the heating instructions weren't the best option for this dish. The chicken obviously has the longest heat time. The instructions stated to heat the chicken with the potatoes. The chicken ended up under heated and the potatoes over heated. The vegetables were to be heated separately and they were peppers onions and mush of broccoli squash. 3 Bean Turkey Chili- the chili wasn't bad, it just wasn't good. The flavor wasn't off-putting per se but my 12 yr old that eats everything and anything couldn't choke it down. He ate less than half of it and tapped out. Veggie Pasta - haven't opened it yet. May give it away. And there was one other meal. My daughters nanny ate it. She said it wasn't bad it just had no flavor. Eating clean is far different than eating good tasting unhealthy food. Eating clean does not have to be a bad experience. Microwaving left over meal prep at $9-13.00 per meal per person is not appealing to me. The only way the meals get cheaper is if you purchase more of them. Upward of 12 weekly meals at around 108 bucks a week drops you to $9.00 a meal. I can prepare clean fresh meals for way less than $400 a month! Convenient - yes. Healthy - yes Good? No It's a cool idea. This version is way too expensive for what is essentially leftovers. They should really fine tune their heating instructions and improve on a few of those recipes.

I've been to Birmingham a few times and never explored their local food options and decided to…read morechange that. Eugene's has really good reviews so I made this my first stop. And good thing I did! I looked at the menu and honestly wanted to order everything cause it all sounds good. I don't eat much so I went with the two piece chicken tenders kids meal. The lady who took my order said they have a regular chicken tenders meal but I said I wanted the kids meal cause I don't eat a lot. She then said "It's the same amount of food." which, ok cool, but I don't think that should be said cause they can lose out on money. Just my opinion. And FYI, I very often get kids meals cause I really don't eat a lot. Not trying to save money or anything. The meal came with two chicken tenders, sauce, fries and a drink. Fries were good. Nothing to complain about. Those tenders tho.....YUM!!! So much flavor. And the ranch I got with it....yes! Not sure when I'll be in Birmingham again but I will 100% go back and try other items!

A huge disappointment…read more I'd always imagined that fried chicken in the South was better than fried chicken in Omaha. Wrong! The fried chicken at Tracks and Surfside Club is way better than at Eugene's. The cole slaw is also better. My girlfriend is a native of Alabama and she was no fan either. She thought her chicken was tough. I got two different styles of beer and they were tasteless. I might as well ordered a Bud Light. And, of course, the music was way too loud.

A guy took me here on a date. I had the double chocolate chunk and it was pretty dang perfect. Sadly, the guy turned out not to be so perfect lol. Such is life in the modern dating world. But at least I got tacos and some awesome cookies out of it. I'd definitely go back - with a different guy ;) read more

The variety of ice creams they have is good. Only draw back is that they use the same spoon for ice cream which has nuts and the one which does not has nuts which I feel is too risky for but allergic people. read more

Another competitor entering the Crumbl, Chip, Cookie Fix, etc. cookie market…read more Today we picked up: Crunch Nugget (Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie) Purple Haze (Purple Velvet Cake Cookie) Good Luv (Red Velvet Cake Cookie) My wife wanted to compare the two velvet flavors side by side. One thing worth mentioning was the customer service. We both had a welcome reward for signing up for the club that included a free cookie. I had trouble locating my reward in the app, but the employee went ahead and issued a credit before I was able to find it. I eventually located it afterward. Warm, friendly service and everything was explained well without feeling rushed. Now for the cookies. The biggest disappointment for me was the Crunch Nugget. A chocolate chip and peanut butter cookie sounds almost impossible to mess up, but this one somehow fell flat. The flavor just felt below average overall and didn't really deliver on either the chocolate chip or peanut butter side the way I expected. My wife preferred the Purple Haze over the Good Luv red velvet cookie. She said the Purple Haze was sweeter and more moist, while the red velvet cookie was a little drier by comparison. Overall, she still prefers Cookie Fix and Crumbl over Cookie Plug. The cookies definitely fit the oversized premium cookie trend. Thick cookies that are somewhere between a brownie, cake, and traditional cookie. Service was strong. Cookies were decent. But as of now, this probably would not become our go-to spot in this category.

The snickerdoodle was inedible and the red velvet had such a weird, unpleasant taste that was not reminiscent of red velvet, so I threw it away. The peanut butter chocolate chip cookie was OK but nothing ro write home about. Now the Oh Snap cookie, which is an oatmeal apple pie was quite delicious and was the softest of the four. With such a saturated cookie market, I think cookie plug really has some work to do to compete in my opinion.

They have such creative flavors, and I appreciate the acknowledgment to people coming in with different diet restrictions. They have some flavors that are staples like chocolate, vanilla and a few others (I always get the chocolate flavor with something else) but the others can rotate. But seriously, go here and just just enjoy the flavors here. The flavors just pop in your mouth. I just had the coconut lime sea salt paired with chocolate, and the chocolate was just as creamy and smooth as always, and the coconut was so sooo unique and bursting with flavor and so refreshing. The people behind the counter were so nice and allowed me to try as many flavors as I wanted. This is very kid friendly - they have a small table at the back so kids can sit there very family friendly. Clean place and loved the vibe here!

The Sweet and the Absurd: A Birmingham Creamery's Baffling Economics…read moreTo step into Big Spoon Creamery in Birmingham is to subject oneself to a masterclass in both artisanal delight and bureaucratic absurdity. On my visits--a pilgrimage undertaken reliably every month and a half--the front-line staff have never been anything short of exemplary. They are the cheerful stewards of a deeply baffling system, executing their duties with a warmth that almost distracts you from the institutional quirks around them. I say "institutional" because the management themselves are entirely phantom. They are never seen on the floor. Perhaps this is a calculated evasion; if they were ever present, they would surely have to field a relentless, exasperated inquisition regarding the tragic and ongoing absence of their finest creation: the "Magic City." Why an ice cream parlor would willingly suppress its undisputed masterpiece remains an enduring mystery. Even if the economics of its ingredients demanded a premium surcharge, "Magic City" ought to be enshrined as an immovable staple on the menu. Instead, the menu is a restless, ever-shifting carousel. I concede that a relentless churn of novelty is a virtue to a certain type of customer, but the soul of a great neighborhood institution relies on the comforting reliability of a few anchor flavors. At Big Spoon, just as you develop an affection for a flavor, it vanishes into the ether. Then, we must examine the rewards program, an endeavor so poorly conceived it borders on the avant-garde. The mathematics are punishingly flat: one point per order, regardless of whether the patron spends a single dollar or one hundred. The rational response to such a broken incentive structure is, naturally, to weaponize the system. To extract any genuine value, the savvy customer is forced into a theatrical display of micro-transactions, paying for each scoop separately. It is a loophole that needlessly punishes the very staff who make the establishment shine, forcing them to run the register three or four times for a single family's dessert. Finally, there is the creamery's bizarre pricing taxonomy. A close study of the board reveals an accidental arbitrage opportunity: the customer is objectively better off purchasing two distinct pints of ice cream and two empty waffle cones to assemble on their own time, rather than engaging in the straightforward, intended transaction of ordering ice cream scooped directly into a cone. Whoever is pulling the levers behind the curtain at Big Spoon clearly fancies themselves a clever operator, disrupting the traditional ice cream parlor model with dynamic menus and gamified loyalty. But in their pursuit of perpetual novelty and labyrinthine economics, they have embodied the old proverb perfectly: they are entirely too clever by half.
