    Outside patio
    Amanda A.

    Great burgers, cute restaurant and friendly staff. We were staying in the area and this spot was in our neighborhood. Close to a cute park too.

    The Goose is an Avondale staple. I love to lunch here, they have a great Caesar Salad. This Friday, I went for the first time on a late-night excursion. The bartenders are the type to just hang out with you, which I love. They indulged me in making my hyper-specific favorite shot which involves pickle juice and hot sauce. Everyone is very kind, sports always on the TVs, neighborhood spot. It has a "locals only" vibe, even though this is Birmingham, not Aspen.

    Good food and family friendly. They have plenty of outdoor seating. We tried the cheeseburger, Philly cheesesteak, and chicken tender with tots. Let's just say the chicken tender stole the show. They were huge and enough to share. Everything is cooked to order of course. If you go, I would definitely recommend the chicken tenders and tater tots!

    So it's a cute place with covered outdoor area where you can have your pup. I had to poke my head inside to ask for service. When the guy came out he said we don't do table service on the weekends out on the patio. Ok well your website should state that. Made sure they got my credit card before I could order. Someone else brought my order and no one ever came back to check on me. Finished my beer and food, still no one. I was a bartender/server for over 20 yrs...they get a C for their grade.

    The Goose has it all - outside space with TVs and yummy food! Perfect Saturday lunch spot if you want to sit in the sun and watch whatever sporting event is going on. In our case the Masters and they even had the sound on. Great touch. The staff is quick and friendly. Highly recommend you check out The Goose!

    Great place for pups!

    Fun little place with some really good snacks. Look, this is not a white tablecloth experience, but if you just want some good food c'mon in! This last trip was my third, and I will say you must try the fried pickles. I was skeptical because I am a huge fried pickle fan, but it has to be chips. So when I saw the pickles were more like fries I was not expecting to like them as much as I do! Right up there with the best "chips" in the game! From there do any form of the fried chicken, the grilled chicken on the nachos, and the wings. But if you go wings don't ask for blue cheese. Only negative I have found is the blue cheese tastes just like Kr@$t out of a bottle, and if you know what I am talking about we can be friends! I am a blue cheese dressing snob!

    A great lunch/dinner. I finally made it here to The Goose after it being recommend to me multiple times. Nothing and I mean nothing we had here was bad it was absolutely freaking delicious. Hands down 10 out of 10 guys CHECK THIS PLACE OUT! So glad I ended my birthday here! I will be returning asap you will not be disappointed and if you are you're lying lol. I have zero complaints.

    Burger and fries

    Visited this place on accident. Really wanted to try Saws Soul Food but the weren't open. I wasn't very happy at first. There was a guy there redoing the cable and internet and only one server. It started off badly but got better when the food came. I asked the waitress for a recommendation and she said try the Hot Head Burger. I asked what came on it and she said she didn't know so she asked at the window. After the third time she said she didn't know she said she only worked there once a week and hadn't been there a month. Once the food came, things got better. The burger was amazing and the wings were super good and not burnt. Fries come with every meal so you will never leave hungry. We were never asked if we wanted refills on water or soda so if you do go, take your own. Or hopefully there is a real bartender working the bar.

    This restaurant has been only open a few months and is awesome. It is a fun spot with a very nice patio with shade. It sits on artificial grass and has games out there like corn hole, and big connect four. Some of the tables has umbrellas and there is also fans out there. They have a few parking spots along the perimeter of the patio. There is also free street parking within a reasonable walking distance. That is where I ended up parking. In addition to the patio, they have a small bar that has seating and full service. There is also a small indoor dining area. Bot spots have televisions, The bar may be small, but has 4 televisions covering its center wall. There was no indoor seating available so, we decided to sit on the patio. At first there was only a table in the hot sun. However, Heath, the owner was out there working hard and pulled our table over to the shade and under some fans. The staff there is amazing. They were helpful, courteous, friendly and attentive. Top notch. They do not have signature cocktails, but they do have a full bar with beer and wine. The menu has burger sandwiches, wings. and salads. Most of them have fun names and you will find some exotic items on there. I ordered the Steak Philly (Silly Philly) with fries. The Goose Neck also looked good. It took about 10 to 15 minutes for us to get our food, which was pretty good considering how packed their were. My food was delicious. If I had one suggestion, It would be to put a little more meat on the sandwich. It was still filling and very flavorful. I left there full. I would recommend trying the Philly. The fries were good too, but it is hard to mess those up, but I have seen it done though. The other person with me loved their food too and was highly impressed by the service. Heath runs a great operation here. I throughly enjoyed my dinner here. They are very welcoming here and have some awesome food and an amazing staff. I highly recommend checking this place out and hope that I am able to make it back here soon.

    First time being here since it changed to The Goose. My burger was pretty good. My wife said her pork needed to be seasoned, but her sandwich was decent. We loved the shoestring fries. I didn't have an alcoholic drink this time but the atmosphere was pretty nice as well. Everyone working there was pretty nice and our food came out hot and quickly, fast service!

    Located in Avondale. It's a good place to get food and drinks. They have a small outdoor patio and a few tables inside and near the bar.

The chicken had flavor, it was cooked well, and it did not feel heavy at all. The sides were fresh and balanced, and everything tasted like real food instead of something overly seasoned or oily. I am pretty picky, so finding a place where I genuinely like the whole plate is rare. The inside has a clean and calm vibe, which I love. It is bright and feels welcoming without being loud or chaotic. I dined in, and the service was quick and friendly. They also make it really easy to spot vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options, which is helpful for people who want something lighter or have specific preferences. Overall, I would definitely come back. It is simple, fresh, and dependable, and the food actually tastes good without trying to be fancy. Perfect spot when you want something that feels healthier but still satisfying.

    Our first try was on the 13th after work but the place was closed at 5 due to insufficient staffing…read morethe lady said. So we went early on a Saturday evening. My husband ordered the Rueben sandwich and I ordered the flounder cake plate. I ordered the chicken poppers plate for my kids to share. After we sat down, requested a high chair and got our drinks, we were informed that flounder cakes were out. I adjusted to the spice rubbed chicken but there was no price refund or any type of service recovery. The food arrived in two batches. I asked for a non breakable plate for my one year old and was pleasantly surprised by a kids plate. The chicken (both poppers and spice rubbed) was very dry. I see now why every plate comes with a sauce. The best thing was the fried green tomatoes and pastry arts cake in a cup $4 they sell. Bathrooms have a big toilet and a small kids toilet along with a changing table.

    One of the best sourdough-based bakeries we have tried in the US. The bread was supple with…read moreexcellent crumb. They take absolute care and pride in everything--even the eggs were extra tasty and their breakfast sandwiches....yum. Most of the pastries are made with sourdough (except danishes, cookies, muffins). And they are top notch. Tender, buttery, flavorful, no skimping on anything. Just plain delicious. Bought more to save for afternoon coffee. The Friday offerings of challah, rye, and bagels are not sourdough but made with great care--even the bagels are made using tangzhong and cold proofed for 48 hours. Even those who do not emote about food and those carefully counting macros and calories in our family were impressed, vocal, and eagerly finishing off all of the offerings, sweet and savory. And great service!

The space itself is beautiful--clean, intentional, and unique--with visual nods to milling and baking traditions. You can see elements of the mill and wheat motifs in the background, which adds a quiet sense of craftsmanship and history without feeling staged. The pastries are exceptional. Their croissants are perfectly flaky and buttery, the sourdough is deeply flavorful, and the morning buns strike that ideal balance of richness and warmth. The baguette is crisp on the outside, tender inside--everything you want it to be. Every item feels carefully made, never rushed. What stands out most is the consistency and care. Breadworks manages to feel elevated yet welcoming--refined without being pretentious. It's clear they take pride in both their craft and their process, and it shows in every bite. A true standout in Birmingham and absolutely worth returning to.

    I absolutely love this friendly fast-casual eatery! We wanted a quick and healthy dinner when in…read morethe area recently. I peeked in and thought it looked so pretty. And of course they had me at poke bowls. It's one of my top 5 things to eat, honestly. But I ordered a Buddha bowl because it's almost the same thing and I felt a little lazy to DIY (not to mention, the Buddha bowl looked tantalizing!) They have other veg options, but I set my sights on that bowl as soon as the friendly counter guy suggested it. It's overloaded with goodness--avocado, deliciously marinated tofu, edamame (yes, it's a protein-rich bowl), tomatoes, shredded carrots, diced cucumbers, greens and more. You're literally devouring the rainbow here, friends. For drinks, they have a modest but decent selection of beer, wine (a decent bubbly in a can!) and sake in addition to soft drinks. The place is so beautiful (and spotlessly clean) with plants dangling from the ceiling and beautiful murals throughout. If I lived in the neighborhood, I'd be here all the time.
