Sharing a building with the great Taco Mama, this clean and easy parking option is a relief. Then to see such fresh flavors and open menu, leaves a lot to discover.

That said, the food was very flavorful, fresh, delicious and affordable. Affordable is very important to us and this is a good value! My favorite was a sweet that we had after our meal. It was sticky rice surrounded by perfectly ripe mango strips with a coconut sauce. I like not too sweet and could have even had a bit less sugar in the sauce but it was so simple I might try it myself some day and it was amazingly delicious! The service was wonderful. I told our server that I was in the mood for mango and she suggested the sweet. There was only one server and the cook but they were doing brisk business highly efficiently and making it look easy as can be. Most of the business was carry out as the place is small and not elegant. It is quite clean and homey. My husband and I sat on the same side of the long booth seat and there were only one or two other parties on that week night. This is definitely my current favorite local restaurant!

We didn't really understand how/where to order or how/where to sit, but following the directions of the folks in front of us helped. The menu consisted of sandwiches, soup and chips. There were a selection of different types of beer, wines and liquor. Cool ambiance; hanging out in the garage eating a sandwich while having a drink. The seats were a little uncomfortable, church pews, but you're in a garage. I would go back for the grilled cheese sandwich, for sure.

The short ribs are hands down the best in the city; tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked every time. I also love the pork broth ramen with burnt ends it's rich, smoky, and so satisfying.

The vibe here is effortlessly cool dim lighting, great music, and that "sexy" atmosphere that makes it perfect for a date night. But honestly, it's just as good for a solo stop when you want a good meal and drink at the bar. If you're in Birmingham and haven't been to Shu Shop yet, you're missing out. It's a must.
