I usually get my family a 30-piece wing combo with half lemon pepper and half honey BBQ wings. It comes with fries and drinks. My last visit, I decided to add a Philly steak and some okra with my usual order. I am so glad that I did. The Philly steak did not disappoint. It was so good. I wish my okra was fried a little bit harder, but it wasn't bad and was well-seasoned. It took about 10 minutes to get my order and there was ample parking outside in the parking lot. So if you are not able to park directly in the front, you can easily park in the lot. My wings were cooked perfectly and I like that they remember repeat customers, which speaks to their good service. I have this place as a regular stop when I want wings.

My guy and I visited one afternoon recently. We live on the opposite area of town but had read…read more great reviews so we decided to visit for ourselves. Upon entering, we told Mr Oli (the owner) that it was our first visit. Not only did he explain the menu in great detail to us, but he gave us samples of the chicken salad, lamb and baklava while we made our decision on what we were ordering. I had my mind set on the chicken kabobs, but changed after he showed me a plated salmon meal. It was cooked just as I like it so I ordered one for myself. My guy, who isn't big on trying new things, opted for the lemon pepper wings and fries combo. However, he did agree to try the gyro meal on our next visit. We also ordered a special dessert Mr Oli told us was a secret recipe from his wife that could only be found at his restaurant. I was excited to try it! A short time later, our food was brought to our table by Mr Oli. My salmon was cooked to perfection and seasoned just right. The salad was fresh and the dressing complemented it well. The pita bread was served warm and the hummus was creamy and flavorful. My guy enjoyed his wings and said that he could taste the special touch Mr Oli put on them. The dessert was something special. Crispy, and fried golden with a unique taste, it definitely was something we would order again on our next visit. It wasn't sweet but met the needs of a sweet tooth calling. If that makes any sense, lol. The creamy cheese filling reminded me of a decadent cheesecake. The ambiance gave quaint neighborhood eatery. As we sat and waited on our food, we saw regulars come in and order. They chatted with Mr Oli as he prepared their orders. He's super friendly and I want to see his business thrive. Great customer service, delicious, healthy food at comparable prices makes for a 5 star review. I can't wait to return for the chicken kabobs!

I wasn't super impressed with the hot dog. The fries were good and hot. The Birmingham dog came with beef sauce, onions and kraut. I was expecting the beef sauce to be more saucy. It was more like seasoned ground beef on top. I felt like it needed a special sauce... or something. But overall I spent a total of $9... so, still worth the try. And at least the cashier was nice today. I will be back, I'll stick to those yummy burgers though!

We walked up the street with a half dozen other diners. Wooden City is definitely not in the best part of BHM. Walking to the restaurant was a little sketchy, no need for a detailed description. Although we had reservations, the hostess looked at us like we had three eyes. She found a small table for us in the far back of the restaurant. No problem, at least we were seated. Our server greeted us quickly and went over the menu. We ordered drinks, blistered Hungarian peppers and a sausage and mushroom pizza. We told him that we were going to a concert and were on a little bit of a tight schedule. By the time our server checked on our food, the second time, we went from a little bit tight to full "gotta get out of here" mode. I guess the delay in getting our food was to give the kitchen time to burn our pizza. Over half of the thick, chewy crust was inedible. The bottom of the pie didn't fare much better. The peppers, on the other hand, were amazing. (not so much so at 2 am but that's just me!) They are a do not miss. We were at least able to settle our bill quickly and made it to the concert with time to spare. Overall, would we go back? Only if in the area - those peppers were amazing. Still, I definitely would not make a special trip.

But we'd spent the day at McWane Center and we were starving so we were there to EAT! The food looked gorgeous but it tasted very meh. The onion rings had too much breading on them, which I didn't think was possible, but here we are. The part of the breading next to the onion was mushy so that threw off the texture of the whole thing too. The burger was very much like a Whataburger. Even the lettuce smelled the same. I got The Standard and the bun of the burger was a little mushy (similar to Whataburger) and there was not much meat. For an $11 burger, I'm expecting more than a Whataburger. My middle kid likes everything on her burger and isn't picky at all and the loaded kid burger looked impressive but it was about the same as mine. Not awful, but not very good either. Very close to the same amount of meat. She's the queen of the Clean Plate Club and she only ate half. The fries were good but a somewhat too salty, the dip that came with the onion rings was excellent and we ended up using it for the fries. We had 2 adults and 3 kids and our meal was $63 before tip for 5 waters, 2 adult burgers, 2 kid burgers, a kid grilled cheese, and a basket of fries and onion rings (I thought I was ordering a "side" of fries, not realizing I actually ordered a basket and it was a lot of fries and onion rings). We don't mind spending money on good food, but the prices here don't align with what you get. No one was more disappointed than me, I've been wanting to eat here for FOREVER!!!

Food - We loved it. Wife: "Buffalo Jacks Wangs" with lemon pepper and a side of fries. Me: A tall cold, draft and .... (surprised myself) ordered a "Buffalo Bleu" salad with fried chicken tenders (coated in house mild Wang sauce), sprinkled with with bleu cheese crumbles, hickory smoked bacon, diced tomatoes, red onion, and drizzled with house ranch dressing. Never have I ever ordered a salad in a bar before. BUT...this was an absolute knockout! The textures, the savory and lightly spicy tenders, oh my, indeed. Almost licked the bowl at the end.
