    El Grande Burrito

    I still love it here. The burgers are great and their onion rings are fantastic. All at a reasonable price! They have recently added bar height tables outside that you can sit at and have a drink w full view of the stage. Can't wait for warmer weather to come back w my doggie!

    A great airport restaurant to fly into for lunch or dinner. Staff was friendly and the food was great!

    The Hanger

    Such an overall cool vibe at this place. A converted hanger at the Bessemer airport will now become one of my regular stops. When you approach they have a grass courtyard area where they have built a stage. Live music several nights of the week!! Pet friendly, so all the pups were running around and playing making new friends. Kid friendly too! My friends daughter and another girl played for a couple hours while we were there. Very Friendly Staff & Customers!!!!! Can't stress this one enough. Talked with just about every one that came through that night. Staff is very helpful and gave us all kinds of details about the place, daily specials, events, etc. The Food: Not an overly expansive menu, but really plenty of options. Very large portions (see pictures)!! Daily specials (except Friday & Saturday). Monday is $5 burgers. Tuesday is 50 cent wings. Wednesday is $5 bottles of wine....this is not a typo and is not the price for a glass....the whole bottle. Thursday Ribs. I love that you can get fries or onion rings with your order and there is no up-charge. Three of us got the ribs and one of us got a cheeseburger. The ribs are a dry rub fall off the bone....seriously it doesn't get any better! Good selection of beer and a full bar so there are plenty of options. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. Indoor seating has bar seating as well as table seating. Environment is exceptionally casual to very formal (some people in suits and ties while we were there). For me these guys rank 5 stars across the board. Check the website for more information. The second Hanger Fest will be coming soon and artists will be announced soon. Christmas time offers Movies On The Runway, a free family friendly event for some timeless classics. Look forward to returning and sampling more of this awesomeness! Keep doing what your doing Hanger Bar & Grill!!!!

    Newly rebuilt stage

    I'm almost reluctant to write a review for this place. Next thing you know, EVERYONE, is going to be coming here. First off, this building is small! A dozen or so customers inside is busy. Two dozen is possible. Three dozen? I hope everyone smells nice. Outdoors is where it's at. The entire patio is fenced in. I estimate it to be approximately 60 X 60 feet. About 8 feet is covered by the building overhang. Everything else is grass and uncovered. One corner has a newly rebuilt stage for hosting bands and other events. Now that football has kicked off, there is a new feature that amazed me. An inflatable big screen! Using a projection type TV, this worked much better than I expected. Of course, this is useless until after sundown. Holy Drive-In movie. What I enjoy most about the Hangar is that you can bring the whole family. Well behaved dogs and all children are welcome. The menu offers a small Pub Grub selection. Daily specials make things more interesting. All good stuff. (Rib night is especially recommended). Sitting next to the Bessemer Airport runway can offer a lot of entertainment. Who doesn't like to watch planes land and takeoff? As the weather begins to cool off, this is only going to become a more comfortable place to be. I understand this place has traded hands often in the last decade. Old timers say the new owner has made it better than ever. This might be the friendliest place I've ever been to. The staff, the customers, the kids, even the dogs are nice! Come see why.

    After a few visits I can finally give a full review, we have come here in the summer when they have a live music to in the winter when it is best to sit inside... they are really working on the outside part, the new bar benches and all the extra seating really adds a lot to the outside space. This place is kid and dog friendly in the summer and the atmosphere is as good as it gets at you neighborhood bar. Now on to the food..... we have had a few cooks the times we came in and all were really good. They used to have 5 dollar burgers on Monday but now it's Wednesday. And 5 dollar bottle of wine on Wednesday as well. And one of the huge pluses about his place is they carry angry orchard, and that is one of my staples at any bar... so if you are in the area and looking for a huge 6-7 dollar burger then this is your place, and in the summer time a great place to watch the sunset on the horizon!!!

    Laid back atmosphere. Great wings. Burgers are not good (hard patties that taste reheated) and the onion rings come from a freezer bag.

    We visited this great spot in the gorgeous Ross Bridge neighborhood to try something new for my…read moreson's birthday meal. Because of the intense Alabama heat, we chose to sit inside, though they have a really nice screened-in patio available. The restaurant is intimate but well laid out, featuring a couple of distinct dining areas and a bar. Since it was our first time, our server, Daniella, recommended the candied bacon bombs to start. They came with a side of cheese curds, and both were absolutely delicious. Even as small as the curds were, they had a perfect cheese pull! For our mains, I ordered the cowboy burger with an added egg and a side of sweet potato fries, while my son chose the shrimp and grits. My burger was incredible, a solid 9.5 out of 10. My son rated his shrimp and grits a 7, though he has a lot of experience with that dish to compare it to. Daniella provided fantastic service, checking in at just the right times without hovering. I later realized I forgot to ask if they do anything special for birthdays, but honestly, my son was probably glad I forgot! Overall, it was a great meal, excellent service, and a very cool environment.

Cheese with turnip greens and smoked sausage. Yum! The candied bacon bombs were delicious too. The appetizers were enough to get me full but to go I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap and my friend ordered the blackened chicken pasta. She said it was tasty but it needed more sauce. Overall this place was a 10/10. Lively with great staff really makes this place a gem. I will definitely be back.
