First, I can appreciate the aesthetics of the restaurant, definitely a family style vibe. I'm not familiar with the area, so the parking was perfect. Step out your car and you're inside the restaurant within a few steps. Food, I ordered the grits and eggs. Not a great presentation but the tastes was ok. My friend ordered a sandwich with fried green tomatoes. She thought that the tomatoes were delicious! The batter on the tomatoes was crispy without being soggy. They were seasoned just right, in her opinion. Overall the food was ok. The service was really good. There seems to be a need for a little more training for the wait staff, which happens at most places these days. The staff were very courteous and professional, just a little confused in taking orders. We enjoyed our meal and the atmosphere. I would go back.

We decided to order take out from here on New Year's Day for lunch…read more After a struggle finding a current menu instead of the many menu photos on here from a year or more ago, when I called to place the order, they didn't have several items available. Including a key Garden Burger for my vegetarian daughter. Once she decided on a Cheese Quesadilla as an alternative, The sidewinder fries and tots were also not available as sides. The Street Corn Dip starter was the highlight. We were all scraping the sides of the bowl to get every last morsel. My daughter's Cheese Quesadilla was larger than she expected and filled with a lot of cheese. I split The Social Burger (beef patty topped with Gouda cheese, pimento cheese, local strawberry pepper jelly, fried green tomato & onion straws) and Shoestring Fries with my wife. For lunch it was enough, especially with the appetizer. I would order again! My son-in-law enjoyed his Trussvegas Burger (beef patty topped with cream cheese, jalapeno peppers, local strawberry pepper jelly, bacon & onion straws) and Fries as well. The person taking the order over the phone was very pleasant to deal with and likely was the same energetic person that took care of my wife when she picked it up. The 2 previous times have eaten here were dine in and I don't recall any of the service issues mentioned by others and the food was great then too. I hope that they will improve the website experience to include a current menu because that is key for us as well as others with dietary restrictions in preparing for and planning meals. This wasn't our first choice but being open at lunchtime on the holiday helped make the decision for us. We might try it again but other places will likely remain our first choice.

This was kinda disappointing even though I really love mushrooms. I also wish they had put more pizza sauce on the crust. Sooooo , this pizza was just okay. The ratio was just off on all the ingredients. The staff were all friendly as well as helpful. I was happy to learn of their $ 5 mimosa Sunday special (all day). This will definitely bring me back out , even if I don't order any pizza. The environment here is casual and spacious. Great for large groups!

As I walked in the bartender yells at me, "What part of banned for life don't you understand....?" Fortunately, the PTSD keeping me on perpetual edge kicked in immediately and I responded, "Hey you're wearing my t-shirt you... give it back. And, how can I be banned from a place I've never been before?" The bartender and I then got down to the long history of Marty's PM (formally in Five Points), the legal and jurisdictional control of lifetime bans, and general 'long time no see, how you been?' chit chat. The place is situated in a nearly empty strip mall, which gives it a slightly post-apocalyptic vibe. It was nevertheless pretty crowded. They seem to be serving the same healthcare professionals/biker crowd that used to populate the 5-points version back in the day. I didn't try the food, but it looked pretty good. The prior version had one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches to be found. My only knock on the place would be the lack of draft beers. I toughed it out drinking Jack and Cokes. It's a little out of the way for me, but I suspect I'll be back sooner rather than later.

Such an inviting and comfortable vibe when you walk through the door. The bar was a vibe, the bartender was a vibe and the drinks seemed appealing.

I had to update my review to reflect my recent experience. True and Red bike coffee had a…read morecollaborative event on 04/26/26. It was a crawfish boil & plant sell. I was thrilled since I had never been to Red bike coffee and I was curious to see the plants at True. After I placed my crawfish order at the coffee shop, I walked over to True to grab a beer. They never have the best selection but I got a 9.82 two hearted IPA on draft. That's oddly high for a draft beer but whatever! I got annoyed because the lady working swiped my card without asking me if I wanted to leave my tab open or not. Good thing I asked bc she had left it open. We all know an overnight open tab most times result in a fee. I don't think an assumption here was appropriate. I finished up my crawfish and closed that tab and left. I wasn't getting anything else to drink from here. I didn't appreciate the weirdness. I don't know if I'll be back here....

I saw a tweet recently that said "if your beer costs more than $4, you are at a 'dive-themed' bar."…read moreBourbon Street Bar and Lounge is NOT 'dive-themed,' it is a dive. It's an interesting mix of people. Retired frat guys playing pool, usually an odd wedding party, a couple of resident characters in leotards. It's like a watering hole in the Safari, lots of different cats intermingling. It's fantastic. True to its name, it does remind me of New Orleans. The ominous folding table and chairs in the parking lot with ashtrays is hilarious. Truly a liminal space if you open your mind to that. Inside is warm and decorated with memorabilia/paraphernalia of bar nights past. We did karaoke with Connie. We had the premie baby (vodka or gin, on ice, in a giant pickle jar). You're not bar-hopping if you're coming here. This is your final destination of the night. Prepare for that. It was somehow near 3am when we left, and the room had not cleared out a bit.

But within an hour it got slammed with college age people. I signed up for karaoke right behind my friend and sat down to wait. I really liked that they had a little ticker on the screens that showed who was coming up next... Except it wasnt accurate at all. I watched as person after person got called up, out of order, and they sang 2 or even 3 times. The guy running the thing decided even though there were 20+ people in line to sing that he was gonna insert himself to sing multiple times, which is my BIGGEST pet peeve with karaoke. You are being paid to let people sing and you insert yourself? Anyways, one of my friends finally gets called up to sing. And halfway through her song, some drunk nepo baby decides its his song now. Walked up and physically pulled the mic out of her hands and took over singing the song. Security watched it happened. The guy running karaoke watched it happen. They did nothing. Her boyfriend and I had to threaten to remove him from the building to get him to give her the mic back. and then he did it again at the end of the song. I was there for 3 hours and never got called to sing. Every one of my friends were called up. and my name was forever at the "#2 in line to sing" for most of the night. To top it off, as I closed out, another drunk guy tried to snatch my credit card away from the bartender as she handed it to me. I had to reach out and grab it before he could. In my 36 years alive, Ive never been in a bar fight but it was close to happening TWICE at this place. I wont be back. (Bartenders werr nice but the guy running karaoke needs to hang it up and let someone thats not in their 80s run it.)

This is one of my favorite places in Birmingham because of its no frills, neighborhood hangout vibe. The team there can make a mean cocktail and they are kind! It's a kind of place that you'll always make a friend. My favorite is the summer time on the patio. It's colorful and laid back and they have a good amount space for large groups! There's always something going on at the tavern, whether it's bingo or trivia or live music or even on a night when they don't have anything scheduled, they have a bunch of games like darts and pool and shuffleboard. 100/10 would recommend. Oh, and Maria and Rudi's food? I usually get the nachos or burgers, but everything is good!

My boyfriend and I hung out here for the evening playing Scrabble while nursing on a Seltzer. This is truly one of Birmingham's best spots, period. The inside is so unique and thoughtfully decorated. Birmingham is lucky to have a spot like Saturn!
