    Calamari and chopped salad
    Tawni S.

    Food is always amazing here. Fave items are the chopped salad, bread app, pizza, fried chicken sandwich, and salmon with avocado and onions. So basically everything

    Came here around 6:45pm on a Tuesday and we were able to be seated immediately. Place is very cute and was buzzy even on a weeknight. Service was friendly and the pacing of the food was perfect, our mains came out just as we were wrapping up with our appetizers. We split a few dishes, starting with the chopped salad and the house bread. House bread is realistically a bit overpriced at $9 but everything else was very reasonable. Salad was good but a bit one-dimensional. We also got the cauliflower (decent, but missing something - a squeeze of lemon could have gone a long way). The buttermilk chicken sandwich ($19) was delicious but the fries were just okay. Portions of everything were large. Bill was very reasonable. I probably wouldn't rush back for any of the food, to be honest, but the vibes were nice. Maybe a good spot for a drink/app before getting dinner elsewhere.

    Calamari

    I've had Market North End on my list of "must check out" since we moved here, and it's been nearly 2 years and I finally remembered and I'm kicking myself for not going sooner! This place is a GEM!!! We ventured in on a quiet Thursday, our first restaurant of 2025! I was so excited because my dad was in town for the holidays and I really wanted to take him somewhere phenomenal. All the reviews were SPOT ON and did NOT disappoint. We were instantly greeted by the poshest front desk hostess (so immaculately dressed in the cutest Sherpa moto jacket - I was smitten the moment I saw her) who was so warm and inviting. I came in with my two kids first (my husband and father joined us later) and she instantly sat us away from the crowds and in an intimate nook so my kids were free to roam and play while we waited for our food. So considerate. Our waiter was equally as friendly and so attentive! I forget his name but he had the kindest smile and was so adorable! He had the best food recommendations for us, and everything he suggested was fantastic. Despite going back and forth on what dish to order, I didn't feel rushed and he was very patient with our two kids and their raucous energy. Now, the FOOD!! Dear sweet baby Jesus - it was all AMAZING. We had the calamari w/ shrimp and please do NOT sleep on this app. The marinara sauce was delicious enough to drink. And the calamari was perfect and not rubbery at all. The shrimp was a nice surprise. We also had the Brussels sprouts and the sweet and spicy sauce was a nice balance. My kids ordered the Detroit style pizza (half pep and cheese) and - dare I say - it was even better than Buddy's my kids were blown away. I had the crispy chicken sandwich (although I hate fried chicken, weird I know) I was compelled to order it because the description was so tempting. I wasn't disappointed! So tender and juicy, and there was a slight honey aftertaste that I still can't stop thinking about. My husband had the lamb burger that was cooked to perfection and so delicious. My father had the trout with the avocado slaw. Seriously - we had ourselves a MEAL, ya'll. I'm still thinking about it. We will definitely be returning. The combination of stellar service and excellent food will keep Market North End at the top of our "go to" restaurant list forever. Don't even bother with the other restaurants in Birmingham, because Market North End is THE ONE

    Had a good experience at the market. It was packed when my friend and I arrived on a Wednesday evening but we got a table right away somehow. The atmosphere was very loud, and it's only Wednesday, so I can only imagine how the weekends could get. If you want a quiet evening, my guess is, this isn't the place. My friend and I shared Brussels sprouts, a Caesar salad, a pizza, and chocolate butter cake. Pizza had sooo much flavor. The cake was moist, buttery and warm. Sweet but not too sweet. Everything was delicious. Our cocktails were also great. Will definitely be back.

    Never had a bad experience. Everything is amazing from the pizzas to the pastas to the salads. Apple walnut salad and watermelon salads are my fav, but all are great. Busy atmosphere and nice ambiance. Great service and staff.

    It has been a hot minute since I was here and I'm not sure why I've been away so long! Food truly blew me away for the price point- some of the newer Birmingham spots have me expecting to be gouged for just OK food but I ordered the Branzini and it was fab! ($40 at Mex, $25 here) You should NEVER skip the bread service ($9 and sooooo worth it) but here are a few other surprises: Garlic Soup (comes out looking like French onion only prettier) was so good my friend said she's coming back just for that! Watermelon, feta & mint salad meant for sharing but finished solely by me! Tuna app can be a meal! Service was fantastic- so many places in town have unhappy staff (which points to very poor mgmt) but the vibe was light & comfortable here

    Best risotto I've ever had!
    Wood W.

    Over the years, Market North End has consistently migrated towards being a singles bar. But we still got carry out for the best risotto ever. Now they stopped making any risotto. So sad.

    Delicious, refreshing lunch at this spot juts away from the heart of Birmingham. Went with a friend and we ate outside. We started with the bread service - which was very tasty. And then had the chopped salad which hit the spot. Plus left overs for tomorrow as the amount was plentiful. The patio was great. The service was friendly but not timed quite right. Overall we enjoyed our meal.

    Born and raised down here, I was excited to be back although so much of Bham has changed. Waahhh!! We walked in yesterday to grab a quick bite. Sat for 15 minutes before we were acknowledged. Yes they were busy for a Thursday at 3:30-4 but we were at a table that everyone walked passed- in the way-- if you will. I think that soured me. I seen 6 different servers and a manager and not one stopped to see if he had been helped. Nonetheless, finally ordered. House bread was best. Nothing comes out hot, just warm. The speed that which they came, coupled with the warmth of my dishes-- they had to be done in large batches and kept under a warmer. Nothing seemed fresh if that makes sense. Another thing, this is Birmingham I expect the restaurant to be kept up. The restaurant is dated and the baskets they have as lights are all askew. There is one to the right of the bar that was literally like a spot light on someone. But don't worry, they keep the place darker so.. All this for $100. Thanks but no thanks.

    Beet & Avocado Salad - amazing!
    Raquel S.

    Great food, busy young crowd, busy most nights and dimmed ambiance. Never disappointed

    Food has just gone down hill over the years. We ordered fries that must have been sitting out because they were completely stale. I watched our waitress pull dishes to put on another table by first stacking them on a nearby trashcan. I used to like coming for the fish entrees but I won't be returning.

    Cute little restaurant & bar in the heart of downtown Birmingham. This little restaurant is pretty cool. They offer a great bite to eat and drinks to make for a great evening with your significant other or a group of people. It's pretty dark in here, but the ambience lighting makes it look pretty cool inside. The restaurant seems like a narrow hallway but it goes back pretty far. We've been in here a few times in the evenings and it gets pretty jammed after 7pm, so plan accordingly! It'll get really loud too inside.

As a New Haven pizza fan, the REAL kind, I was extremely disappointed. I know that after having eaten the real New Haven (Pepe's, Sally's, and Modern), I need to tighten down my expectations, but come on! They have these beautiful ovens, a nice, clean, and pleasant place and they turn out what I would consider pizza no better, perhaps a little less good than Hungry Howies thin crust pizza! New Haven is supposed to be crispy and chewy, NOT soggy. I tried Farmington Hills a few months ago and ate in, then last week tried Birmingham and carried out. For those of you thinking that my carry-out experience may have been bad due to the 3 miles I had to drive home, but I've carried out a LOT of pies from a LOT of locations, and I DO take that into account. There are some positives: The ingredients were impeccable. Fresh, high-quality cheese and the mushrooms were done really well. The pepperoni was of good quality but nothing worth writing home about. There are a lot of great pepperonis in the area. The doneness was great. It wasn't over- or undercooked. The flavor was good, but not, as some have said, amazing. In both cases, the crust was limp and soggy, NOT chewy and crispy. Not in the least. I don't mind if it's a little bit floppy, but not like this. An analogy I might give is to compare Tomatoes Apizza to Modern Apizza in actual New Haven is like comparing Jets Pizza to Loui's. Jet's is fine, but Loui's! (If you know, you know). To me, Modern in New Haven is at par, and not to be sacrilegious to our beloved Detroit Style, with Loui's or Palazzo Di Pizza, so it's not a style issue. My two experiences were both the same, so I don't know what to think. I'll give them one more try at some point.

You know damn well Yelpers that the number 1 rule about doing these reviews is this: NEVER DELIVER. It's just not the right way to experience it. You need the conversation, you need the interior, you need the cashier asking if you'd like to tip. (You know I'm joking, they don't ask. My fellow Berklians know that I ALWAYS tip 20%) When I walked in this couple already looked like they got into it. Atleast I know that if it's not love, or sadness being put into my pizza; it's ANGER. Beat that dough and smash those tomatoes. Slap that mootz onto that fresh pie, spank it a little. If your head doesn't look the color of a San Marzano making my pie... don't even bother. The crank hands me and my girlfriend the garlic bread. Bro. This might actually be some of the best bread I've ever had. It's like Canes with their sauce. Garlic bread is an incredibly overlooked component to a good pizza and I'm so happy that they put there ALL into making the best possible cheese bread. So delicious, it melts! The pizza was quite floppy, albeit, that was probably on me for leaving it in the box for more than 10 minutes. But the crust is chewy, the taste is pretty good. Tomatoes were a little bland, but that's probably a compliment to the cheese; like, hey look at me, f*** the tomato- look at me! I'm buffalo mozzarella, look how good I am. The penne pasta we got was VERY sweet, and cooked to perfection! The sauce was so sweet it almost tasted like it was TOO sweet. I literally had to add SALT to it like when should anyone ever have to do that to something overpowered by sweetness? Me of course cause clearly I wasn't thinking. It turned out to be spectacular though. I liked Grano, pretty good pizza at a monstrous price. But you can't deny, CLEANEST kitchen in the whole U.S. and definitely a lot of care put into their craft. There are 100% some maestro's coming out of that walk-in everyday, and like Tony Soprano's psychiatrist said, hope comes in many different forms. I love Italian-America, it's so dedicated. (4/5)

    Garbage from top to bottom. No way this place lasts another year with this bland-as* pizza…read more PRICE: First big red flag...DONT LET THEM SCAM YOU LIKE THEY SCAMMED ME. They charge you full price for a half topping pizza. I was charged the same price for multiple half topping pizzas as I was for a Full-1 topping. You multiply this by every single transaction, and they're scamming customers out of money they definitely don't deserve to be making. Scamming aside, it's $15 for a large pizza. Should be $10 MAX considering an average Hot-N-Ready from Little Caesars is better than this crap. TASTE: I've never tasted a pizza so bland and pathetic in my entire life. Their pepperonis are literally tasteless. You probably think I'm joking or lying, but chew one in your mouth and tell me if you actually taste anything whatsoever. Lol. The cheese, sauce, and dough are the same story. They're all there, but they're literally just bland and taste like cardboard. It's truly fascinating how they can make a pizza taste like literally nothing. That first review on this page where the woman rants about the "wonderful flavor" is a literal bold faced lie. ------------------------------------------ If we're going with the usual One Bite type score, this place is a 4.9-5.3 and that's being extremely generous. There's no way this place will still be there 1 year from now without the owners hemorrhaging money every month. It's a shame too because Brooklyn Pizza in Birmingham is terrible, and Tomatoes Apizza across the street is overpriced wayyy over what it should be because places like this can't give anyone in the area any competition that lasts.

So they had on $10 in fees for a delivery. They don't even do the delivery themselves. They outsource it. My order got screwed up and I'm not sure who's fault. It is either the delivery driver or the restaurant. Neither wants to take blame. I have the email of what I typed in. Getting tired of businesses saying that they have to absorb the fees that credit card companies charge, when credit card companies have been doing this since they began and they've always just included it into the price. Also working in the industry I know that the fees they charge are exorbitant and don't match the credit card fees that the business is being charged. The food was cold because when you use a third-party to do the delivery, you're not sure what time your food's gonna be picked up or if they're making other stops. I assume the ambience of the restaurant is trash, because didn't get what I ordered, customer service, not good, and they nickel and dime you. So when it first looked like a standard affordable dinner quickly became inexpensive one for average/mediocre food. If Hungry Howie's could not survive in this location, I'm not sure how this place will. People in this area like good restaurants, not ones that nickel and dime us for mediocre food.

I do want to start with some thoughts before I give the highlights. We were charged a percent for using a credit card. I cannot speak to the in-person menu, but I combed the online menu and it did not mention that. We were also charged for ranch. Most places do not do that, and we were not informed there would be an upcharge. Most places allow you a sauce to go with fries. Also, for my meal, there is an image of an extra sauce which it did not come with, but we were charged for two small portions of ranch. Last, the server was just okay. I always enthusiastically ask questions to get to know more about a place. I asked if they had any other fruity drinks. She pointed to the drink menu and indicated just the Paloma. I said, but you have a full bar, this is the only fruity drink you make? She did not want to ask the bar, but I asked her to. The bar apparently only came up with one other drink idea, which I ended up getting two drinks listed on the menu (both very good) but it seemed like work for her to go out of her way to inquire. I also bet they could have made many fruity drinks, like maybe a Mai Tai, or some equivalent. Oh well. On the other hand, the Paloma was actually very good. It was a quality Paloma and I do recommend. Their other drink was seasonal with lavender, also a very nice drink. Most of the other places, like Honcho, I have no problem with getting a variety of drinks or inquiring about them, and the bar tender here did a great job. I came here because I was targeted by an ad on Instagram. This place was not on my radar, but since they created a meal (Steak-frites) very similar to Le Relais in Paris and New York, etc... I wanted to try it. It came with bottomless parm fries. The fries were crispy, savory, and delightful. The steak was super well cooked and was like butter. You did not even need a knife, it cut with a fork. Since I love next day leftovers, the steak was still super delicious and tender the next day. It was still like butter and cut with a fork. I would absolutely come back for that and bring the rest of my family. We also tried the tri-tip sandwich. We were told the bread was made fresh. I thought it was very good and very tender. My husband would have liked an au jus or horseradish sauce. He would try the hamburger next, but I would love another steak-frites, like right now! We were sad the coffee and pastry section closed early. In the past, at Honcho, we would get coffee and pastry after dinner since their coffee tends to be really good and quality. I would consider coming for brunch to try some. We talked to a gentleman who was part of the business as he was working hard. He was very kind and knowledgeable and took the time to hear our thoughts. I told him I was here for the steak. He thought I had a "but". I did not, it was great and I hope they can maintain that price point and the second serving of fries, because that was my main reason for visiting. He let us know the menu recently changed. I am not able to compare since this was my first time, but I liked that they had a steak dinner and pizza. If we come back my oldest loves this group's pizza, she gets it at Vinsetta, and this one looked very good.

One waitress was apologetic to me when I came back to complain, so sad for her because she was not the owner of this dump who has the personality of a headless turkey. The food is worth only one star, but I would give it zero if I could. I'd recommend just going to Applebee's instead of Sidecar and maybe the place that Sidecar is holding can be repurposed into some type of mixed-use community hub to breathe new life into Birmingham once it gets shut down. - Oakley
