This place was recommended by a local Birminghammian and it was a good recommendation. Three of us…read morewere working somewhere nearby and we took an Uber here and it was kinda packed. We snagged some seats at the bar and had some drinks and shortly after that, our table was ready. And they were able to keep everything on one check, which was nice. No need to settle the tab and start a new one at the table. And the old fashioned I had was delicious. For food, we started with the Hungarian Hot Stuffed Peppers. These were pretty good and the heat gradually snuck up on you as you ate them. I don't know if it was because the heat was more intense as you worked your way towards the stem or just a gradual burn. Either way, these were good and worth the heartburn later. The thick focaccia helped with the burn a little. Speaking of heartburn, the pepperoni pizza may have contributed a bit to that too, but again, totally worth it. The cup-and-char pepperoni was charred nicely as were the edges and bottom! I love a nice bottom! These were easy to share between two of us. Service was amazing from the bartender to the waiter to the uber driver (who didn't really count, but nice job, man). We felt welcomed and I can see why the place was crowded on a Tuesday evening.

First, know that there is parking behind the building. We didn't know and apparently for the number…read moreof cars trying to squeeze into nonexistent spaces, many others didn't either. We walked up the street with a half dozen other diners. Wooden City is definitely not in the best part of BHM. Walking to the restaurant was a little sketchy, no need for a detailed description. Although we had reservations, the hostess looked at us like we had three eyes. She found a small table for us in the far back of the restaurant. No problem, at least we were seated. Our server greeted us quickly and went over the menu. We ordered drinks, blistered Hungarian peppers and a sausage and mushroom pizza. We told him that we were going to a concert and were on a little bit of a tight schedule. By the time our server checked on our food, the second time, we went from a little bit tight to full "gotta get out of here" mode. I guess the delay in getting our food was to give the kitchen time to burn our pizza. Over half of the thick, chewy crust was inedible. The bottom of the pie didn't fare much better. The peppers, on the other hand, were amazing. (not so much so at 2 am but that's just me!) They are a do not miss. We were at least able to settle our bill quickly and made it to the concert with time to spare. Overall, would we go back? Only if in the area - those peppers were amazing. Still, I definitely would not make a special trip.

A farm style Americana interior, comfortable and relaxed. Friendly and kind service. Old school farm house diner, with kjnd service and good food. We were greeted walking in and the sign said to sit where you like. So we grabbed a table in the front section and one of the servers working that morning walked over with menus and got our drink requests. She was kind and professional. A home style menu, simple and good. After looking it over I opted for the Farmhouse Quick Start and some browns, Two eggs over medium with bacon, hash brown and a biscuit with pepper gravy. This is a good breakfast choice. The eggs were done right, the pepper gravy with biscuit was also good, as well the hash browns done right, and the bacon it was really good. 4 Stars all in all a good choice for breakfast 01297

We were told the tables were reservation-only, which was completely understandable, so we sat at the bar. Shortly after sitting down, we were told we were in the wrong barstools and needed to move so there wouldn't be an empty seat between customers. Not a huge deal on its own, but it set the tone for a night where the service felt more overbearing than welcoming. I ordered a nonalcoholic Heineken, and when I finished it and declined another, the bartender jokingly called me a "little bitch." He laughed and was clearly trying to be funny, but we didn't have that kind of rapport and it just came across as uncomfortable and unprofessional. My wife wasn't feeling well that evening, so she ordered chicken and was only able to eat a few bites. When the bartender noticed she wasn't finishing it, he joked that he could take it home as scraps for his dogs. Again, probably intended as humor, but it didn't land well at all. I ordered the burger, which was around $20. I wasn't asked how I wanted it cooked, and unfortunately it came out extremely overcooked, to the point that parts of it tasted burnt. Any one of these things individually probably wouldn't have bothered us enough to write a review, but altogether the experience felt uncomfortable, and not particularly hospitable. We were hungry, on a time crunch before a concert, and mostly just wanted a good, relaxed meal. For the price and reputation, we expected a much better experience.
