I have sat down multiple times to write this review and I've deleted it because I can't seem to…read morefully express how amazing this business and these owners truly are. My family and I visited this restaurant after my doctors appointment a couple of weeks ago, we are not from the area we actually live in Gadsden so it was our first time trying this restaurant. Let me just start out with this the food was absolutely delicious. I don't have much of an appetite these days and I. An honestly say I finished almost all of my food and ate until I was stuffed and that isn't something that happens very often. Each member of my family was happy with their food and was already planning out what they would order when we come back after my next appointment . I just opened a Farm Stand in our home town and while we were sitting and eating I spotted a mixer that was sitting off to the side with some other supplies. If you know anything about industrial mixers they are far from cheap I had been looking at a few in the $500 range so I thought I would just check. I asked the guy upfront if he could ask the owner if it was for sale and if so how much he was asking. The owner came and spoke to us and I quickly realized that the mixer he had was way more expensive than the ones I had been looking at and I told him I was sorry that I couldn't even give him a fair price after looking up the kind he had . He looked at us and gave me a price that was astonishing to say the least , but I still didn't have that much at the moment. He told me to give him what I could and then pay him later when I had it for the rest. This is a man who has never met me he had no reason to help me besides just being kind. When you hear this man talk about helping others and community he means it, it's not just talk to make him sound good. I left his restaurant that day with a mixer that was several thousands of dollars. So I say all of that to say this Alabaster and surrounding areas yall are truly blessed to have a business that not only has amazing food but has amazing people who truly care about others, and from personal experience I can tell you they don't have to have known you for years to treat you like family. We will be making this restaurant part of our stop each time we come through. Thank you again for blessing me I can't tell you how much it has ment!

We don't stop in nearly often enough, so it was a quick decision. I like their hamburgers because they're nice and big. Add some fries to in and it's a great filling meal. This time we didn't sit outside since it was a little chilly, but that's always a nice option if the weather is good to enjoy the patio and fountain. Their baklava is also a pretty good price, and we sometimes like to get a couple to take home for later.

I am greeted by Mr.Eddie (the owner) himself every time I go and have had nothing but friendly conversations/interactions with most if not all of the staff. Mr.Eddie runs a tight ship! The food is fresh and hot every time, and on the one occasion where it wasn't, Mr.Eddie personally brought me a fresh piece of fried chicken! 10/10 each visit and would give it more stars if i could. It is a bit on the pricy side but i would much rather support a local business and friendly face, than corporate restaurant/fast food that comes from who knows where and doesn't care about your food or experience. Hope this cafe can stay open for as long as possible! Much love to the Bevelle family

They said everything is made fresh daily and the food tastes that way! We got turkey and dressing with fried okra and green beans. We were a fan of the dressing and the fried okra. The fried okra wasn't heavily breaded, made them that much better. Everything else we got was pretty tasty too. It's price is about 35% higher than the meat and two place we typically go to that's closer to pur home, but I would come back here next time we are in the area again.

The seated area is very compact, and it felt like the kind of place you needed to whisper if anyone else was in the room so you didn't disturb them. I got the special which was the Birria quesadilla served with chips and queso. My mother opted for the big back sandwich and my aunt had the soup of the day, a chicken noodle. I also ordered a slice of a gooey butter cake, this was the only downside to my meal. I didn't care for it at all, but everything else made up for it. They also had flowers from the local community garden, if you give a donation you can take some flowers. I grabbed a few as i cannot ever tell myself no to flowers. Great experience will be back soon, i gotta get my hands a quiche soon.

My wife and I recently visited Mama's Country Cooking on Highway 31 in Pelham, and we were…read moreextremely impressed. We are new to this area and were looking for a good place to eat. We found one!! On our first visit, we ordered the meat-and-two-vegetable special. The food was fantastic. The chicken livers were cooked to perfection, and the green beans were some of the best we've had. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and reasonably priced at around $10. It was outstanding value for a delicious home-cooked meal. We enjoyed it so much that we returned today to try their hamburgers. I can honestly say their bacon cheeseburger was one of the best burgers I've ever eaten. The fries and onion rings were perfectly crisp and incredibly tasty. Some of these fast food restaurants could learn something about prices, food, and customer service. As good as the food was, what really made our visits special was the customer service. Everyone we met was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely seemed to enjoy serving their customers. Suki, one of the owners, told us they take pride in making every customer's day a little better, and it certainly shows. The young man behind the counter preparing the food was also exceptionally friendly and went out of his way to make sure we had a great experience. During our conversation, the owner mentioned they invested nearly a quarter of a million dollars to add the kitchen and expand their operations. After experiencing the quality of the food and service firsthand, I would say that was money well spent. If you're looking for great food, reasonable prices, and some of the friendliest customer service you'll find anywhere, I highly recommend Mama's Country Cooking in Pelham. We will definitely be back! -- at Mama's Country Cooking at Pelham .

Tony's Hot Dogs in Birmingham is the kind of place you'd drive past a hundred times if you didn't…read moreknow better. No frills. No gimmicks. Just a tiny, iconic hole in the wall that exists for one reason: to serve hot dogs that mean business. When you walk in, you already know you're not here for the décor. You're here because you're craving a hot dog and you want it done right. I ordered the Chicago dog, which showed up looking like it had zero intention of fitting politely inside its bun. This thing was juicy, oversized, and required a concerning amount of napkins. The pickles were crisp, the peppers had the right bite, the mustard was exactly what it should be. Everything hit. The only thing missing was that neon green relish that looks radioactive but somehow makes a Chicago dog official. I kind of missed it. A little. Then I got adventurous. Mistake number one. I ordered the Beef Sandwich, what I can only describe as a sloppy joe with a pickle on top. It sounded bold. It tasted... fine. Not terrible. Not memorable. Just sort of there. It's like I betrayed the hot dog gods and they let me know. My colleague went with the burger, which Tony's is apparently campaigning as "best of" material with the local news crowd. He said it was decent and a great value. High praise in burger language. Now the onion rings? Absolute perfection. Crispy, golden, and cooked exactly the way onion rings should be cooked. No notes. If I had stuck strictly to the hot dogs, this would've been an easy five-star situation. But I strayed. That's on me. Four stars. Next time, I'm staying loyal to the dogs.
