The ambiance of the restaurant was calm and pleasant. There are several dining tables to choose and enjoy the scenery.

Parking is primarily street parking in the area, but there is also a public parking deck nearby. I'm unsure what the current cost is for the deck, but it's worth knowing if you're visiting during a busier time. I ordered the fish tacos with black beans and chose the cheese grits as my second side. Everything tasted fresh and had lots of flavor. The real star of the meal, though, was the sweet potato cake. It was incredibly moist and delicious. Honestly, I could've eaten four of them without shame or hesitation. My colleagues ordered burgers and fries. They both really enjoyed their burgers, but neither cared much for the fries. They had also requested a couple additional items after the food arrived, but those items never made it to the table. The decor is bright and fun, though it didn't quite seem to match the style of food being served. Just my personal observation. They also have a robot that helps deliver the food alongside the servers, which felt a little unexpected for the casual atmosphere and southern comfort food vibe. They were fairly busy since it was lunchtime on a Friday, but the wait really wasn't bad at all. Would I go back? Yes. Was it my absolute favorite? No. But there were definitely things I enjoyed, especially that sweet potato cake that nearly made me consider ordering dessert first next time.

The food was absolutely delicious! I had the whole fried snapper with candied yams and macaroni and…read morecheese. The macaroni looked very light in color, but don't let that fool you, it was flavorful, creamy, and very well prepared. Everything on the plate was seasoned nicely and satisfying. That said, there were a few things about the atmosphere that took away from the experience for me. The restaurant was extremely dark inside, and the music was much louder than necessary, making it difficult to fully relax and enjoy the meal. I was also caught off guard by customers smoking marijuana indoors. I'm pretty sure I left with a contact high while writing this review. I do think it would be helpful for the establishment to make guests aware of that at the entrance so people can decide beforehand whether that environment is for them.

I debated on writing a review, because I honestly don't think it will do any good. My first…read more concern was that within 15-20 minutes of me placing my order, it was delivered. I had been wanting some lamb chops for a few months, and I found Yo Chef online. The reviews for the lamb chops were mostly great, so I decided to give them a try. I didn't dine in, I placed an order for delivery. I ordered the lamb chops, with mashed sweet potatoes, and red beans and rice. I had never had fried pound cake, so I ordered 2 fried pound cakes, one for myself and one for my mom. We were both looking forward to everything. Unfortunately, we were both disappointed. The lamb chops were terrible. They were extremely tough. They tasted as if they had been sitting under a warming lamp or something. Even more disappointing was they were so skimpy. They definitely didn't taste as if they were freshly cooked. The mashed sweet potatoes were not mashed at all. They were simply candied yams. The red beans and rice were the best of my order. The fried pound cake tasted as if it was fried too long. I ended up throwing everything away after trying to eat one of the lamb chops. Ultimately, it was a wasted $78, $96 including the tip.

They have a nice cocktail menu, and a lot of the seating is lounge style (couches with coffee tables). This would be a fun spot to watch some football. The food was satisfactory. I had the garlic noodles with chicken, $17 for lunch. My dad ordered the banh mi with fries. I'm assuming these prices are the same for dinner, but I really think they should be lower for lunch. I'm even fine with a slightly smaller portion, but Tuesday lunch shouldn't be more than $15 anywhere. I'll definitely be back to try something else! I love the outdoor seating. I'd forgotten about how jam-packed this block of Lakeview is with restaurants and bars.

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.

One of my all time best local restaurants to get wings and gizzards. And even better, their prices,…read moreand quality of food are very impressive. I have gotten the daily combo which was 5 wings with fries, a slice of bread, and a fountain drink for $8. I've also gotten the gizzards which come with fries and a slice of bread for $5.50. Everything is cooked to perfection. There are no seats to enjoy eating there, but a welcoming counter to order your food. The staff are super sweet and helpful with suggestions. Located across from Kelly Ingram Park, you walk in and see pictures on the wall that show the history of the restaurant dating back to 1958. This is a staple restaurant of Birmingham that is a must try. Just a little tip. If you go there and order the wings or gizzards and they ask if you want them all the way. Please note this means they will put ketchup and hot sauce on the wings and fries in the little paper basket in the big. The gizzards will come with hot sauce, salt, and pepper. So if you don't want any of that on there, just say you'd like them plain, or however you'd like them. They are seasoned so good, they really don't need anything at all. Oh, and don't worry if you see a line waiting to order, they move quickly with options besides just chicken. They also have pork chops, fish, okra (this is really good), fried green tomatoes (this is really good), burgers, and chicken livers too.

I was able to find a parking spot right in front on the street. I'm not sure if they have non-street parking on the side. But the place had a nice crowd. The staff was nice and the takeout process is typical. You are given an order number and they will call your number when the order is ready. There's plenty of seating but the spot is very casual. I ordered a 20 piece wings, half buffalo, half honey mustard with okra. The food was good, I wasn't overly impressed by anything that I tried. My food was a bit on my bland side in my personal opinion. But I would give them another try if I get another opportunity while I'm in the area. I'm still rooting for this business, so please give them a try!

Back Forty is huge-with plenty of seating to accommodate large crowds, couples or even families with little ones. There's plenty of big screens to watch the games on, and I would really love to come back during football season to do just that. I ordered their infamous Back 40 cheeseburger on this visit. While it wasn't my favorite, for a brewery it was definitely above average. It was juicy, made to order and fresh. I didn't care for the sauce nor the stringy onions so I would order it plain next time or try something else on the menu. The shoestring fries were well seasoned with something like garlic parmesan. They were my delicious! The staff were friendly and helpful as we placed our orders. This is a cool spot to hang with your friends, drink, eat and watch some sports or watch the trains go by. I enjoyed my visit and I'm looking forward to coming back.

People often host their own little parties and events at the picnic tables here. I came on a Sunday afternoon, and it seemed like a lot of families came for lunch and to hang out after church. The food here is certainly impressive food for a bar to me. I love the wood fired pizzas. I will say, I think the size is a bit awkward. They're a little too big to be a single serving, and a little too small to be for two people. The beer is all good. Service at the bar always friendly. The fries here are some of my favorite in town. Shoestring.
