    Oh my goodness, where do I start?!?! This place was such a fun find for our family, especiallysince we're new to the area. We arrived at 12 on a Sunday and it was pretty busy already. We grabbed a beer and then paid for mini golf, because the kids were begging. After 45 min of mini golf we headed inside to order food. The line was long, but we expected it. About 20 minutes in line at the order counter and ordered, then got to a table. Within 5 minutes, part of our food arrived already. I'm going to do a separate review of saws and neighbors, but I will say, I was impressed with everything. What a great establishment!

    What a great venue! Am I the only person who didn't know this was attached to the Leeds Outlet Mall?! It's the perfect spot to come hang out - there's live music, Saw's bbq has recently opened here as well! There are two outside bars. Very well stocked with craft/local beers, cocktails. The bartenders were all nice and friendly. I think a found a new hangout spot for the warmer months ahead!!! Check them out ... you won't regret it!!!

    Hosted my son's high school graduation party here with catered food from Saw's BBQ. Rachael and her team could not have been more accommodating!!!! Rented a cabana that came with complimentary putt putt which was enjoyed by ALL guests ages 2 - 84!!! The rental is super reasonable for 3 hours and it was worth it for someone else to cook and me not to clean my house!! Even if you don't have a party - go sit outside and enjoy outside dining, games, and fun!!'

I remember going to Marty's PM all the time when I was in my 20's after a shift. So I was shocked to see the banner one day when I was picking up some Chinese take-away for lunch. First of all let me tell you this is a Safe Space for LGBTQ people. Sarah, Leslie, and Austin are legends. The whole staff is so sweet and the people are really friendly. There's another really cute guy who tends bar and I am so bad with names it kills me. I popped in a few weeks after they opened and I'm now a weekly regular. Best of all, NO ONE UNDER 18 Allowed! So no kids running around. It's a dream come true. The bar has a great selection of canned and bottled beers with a Happy Hour that helps your wallet. A good selection of wine and liquor to. No draft as of yet, but ya don't need it. My Usual order is a IPA and a Shot of Fernet. But I can never leave without a Resting Peach Face Frozen Cocktail or a Bushwhacker. Ask for a Fernet Topper on you're Bushwhacker. I call it the Emmy Jane Special, no one else does XD. Trust me it works. I love the Egg Rolls and The Burgers. The Dutch boy is a fave, but the Big Mick is also delish. They have a lot of weekly events, Karaoke, Trivia, Live Music. Follow their Facebook for their yummy weekly specials. Save me a Seat at the Bar on Thursdays! Tell um Emily sent you for a free absolutely nothing :) .

I should have left when I saw the masses of people, but after 2 years I was determined to give them another shot. I didn't order any food just a drink. They certainly don't have the best craft beer selection soooooo I ended up with a Stella. Sigh I paid for my drink and closed out my tab immediately. The vibe here is just not for me. This visit was not better or worse. Simply the same 3 star experience from 2 years ago.

Overall consistently have been happy with everything I have eaten, but I will say that while still pretty good the burgers are not as good as they were early on. One of the big draws for me has always been the outdoor patio area that is shared with the other businesses that are part of the Trussville Entertainment District (TED). The covering over the area keeps you out of the direct sun but still has a very open air feel. On my most recent visit I got the Feral Smash Burger with Cheddar instead of American Cheese. I ordered the tots for my side because I swore that I had gotten them many times in the past. Looking back at all my photos, clearly I was mistaken. Since I am not a big fan of sweet potato the bartender brought me fries instead to go with my side of Beer Cheese which is well worth the added cost. Depending on when you go, you may have to go inside to order at the bar for the outdoor seating (such as I did today). Other days when the TED is busier and peak times you can order at the outdoor bar. For solo lunch dining I prefer other options in the TED but Ferus is great for groups and outdoor dining. I am sure I will be back especially when my daughter comes to town since she likes to refill her growler with the seasonal sours.

As I walked in the bartender yells at me, "What part of banned for life don't you understand....?" Fortunately, the PTSD keeping me on perpetual edge kicked in immediately and I responded, "Hey you're wearing my t-shirt you... give it back. And, how can I be banned from a place I've never been before?" The bartender and I then got down to the long history of Marty's PM (formally in Five Points), the legal and jurisdictional control of lifetime bans, and general 'long time no see, how you been?' chit chat. The place is situated in a nearly empty strip mall, which gives it a slightly post-apocalyptic vibe. It was nevertheless pretty crowded. They seem to be serving the same healthcare professionals/biker crowd that used to populate the 5-points version back in the day. I didn't try the food, but it looked pretty good. The prior version had one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches to be found. My only knock on the place would be the lack of draft beers. I toughed it out drinking Jack and Cokes. It's a little out of the way for me, but I suspect I'll be back sooner rather than later.

    I definitely needed to refresh my Marty's GM review. I'm back loving them again! This is easily…read moreone of my favorite spots to grab a drink , food and just be around a fun group of people. The atmosphere is chill unless a Bama football game is on! I really enjoyed watching the bama vs mizzou game here a few weeks ago. The staff is fun and personable.
