Def try the burger! I had to give it a try after all the reviews recommending it. The rest of the menu is great too. No pics, but had a cup of the white bean and sausage soup. Very good! Also the spinach and artichoke dip was a highlight! There are a few cocktails and beers on tap as well. Didn't try the dessert but maybe next time. Nice smaller place to dine with a sitting bar to eat as well. read more

Most beautiful presented, bland food I have ever had. Old white lady food. Ordered a burger with mushrooms, onions, goat cheese. Beautifully presented thick, juice burger that had no flavor, except for the mushroom. I asked for steak sauce to try and fix it, but apparently they have no spice in this place. Truffle fries were not crisp, and bland. Fortunately, there was ketchup. If you have no sense of taste and enjoy bland food, this place is for you. read more

Came in for a drink. Bartender was nice. The place itself seems like it's trying to be up scale but the staff wasn't on that level. I had a glass of Justin cab and my husband had a rosemary old fashion. He said it tasted like a regular old fashion with a spring of rosemary in it. Was clean inside. We would come back and try the food the menu looked yummie. read more

We had an excellent lunch here. It's a darling place in a darling town (Fairhope). Names of the restauranteurs are identified on the door--always a good sign. Diners can see into the kitchen through a large glass window. (Check out the painting across from the kitchen--appears to be of the chef cooking over a flame.) Service was perfect--attentive, friendly, and efficient. I had a small spring salad with salmon as the protein--excellent. My friend had the hummus and the portobello sandwich--both were very good. Total price was $47. We agreed we would return in a heartbeat. read more

The sevice was very good. The hostess was adorable as my wife put it. The food flavors were there. But... We arrived with no reservation at 6PM on a Friday night and only 2 tables were occupied. When we left at 7:15ish only 50% of the tables had people sitting. We ordered the artichoke spinach dip with grilled bread, this was a tasty appetizer and we enjoyed it. Our entrees came spaced out (love this). Next she had the salmon plate with orzo and artichokes. It was a good dish but not great. I had the filet mignon with pimento cheese AuGratin potatoes and asparagus with bearnaise. Everything was tasty but, the steak was chewy and was not a very good cut of meat. I would try a fish entree next time. We finished up with a slice of strawberry shortcake with ice-cream that was very tasty. They also had a decent selection of craft beers not quantity but quality in my eyes and preference. We would likely give them another try. read more

Dude, that flank steak dish was probably the best. And the truffle fries were good as well. Will be back next time in town.

Stopped by for lunch after a meeting, and my meal was fantastic. The salmon was absolutely delicious. Both sauces were great, but there was a clash in flavors for me between the two different sauces and the Greek salad dressing-- very stark differences. Each component tasted very good, though! read more

My sister and I had a lovely lunch at this restaurant. I started with a pair of cheap sunglasses, LOL! That was a nice kolsch-style craft beer made by the Fairhope Brewing Company. For lunch, I ordered the Pimento Cheese Sandwich with their famous truffle fries! I enjoyed the sandwich, but I picked out the apples. Just not a big fan of sugary stuff. Truffle fries were delicious because they were truffle fries. You can't go wrong with truffle fries. Overall, I would eat here again. I saw someone eating the Mediterranean plate, which looked fabulous so I would order that the next time. read more

Loved the burger! The shoestring fries were good. I opted for the truffle style and for me, not enough truffle oil on them for my taste. My wife had a special shrimp risotto and she liked it. I sampled and it was really good. Service was excellent. Attentive, friendly but not overbearing. It can be a loud room, but our group didn't strain to have a conversation. read more

The rating is for the burger. It was delicious with a nice sauce. The shoestring fries were hot, but greasy. Service was a bit chaotic with the front of house unsure which tables they're covering. The kitchen bell rang multiple times without a pick up because it wasn't flowing smoothly in the dining room. Perhaps all this explains why there were many to go orders? read more

The ratings and reviews say the best burger in Alabama and they are 100% correct. My wife and I stayed in Fairhope Alabama and picked this restaurant out prior just based on reviews and we loved that truffle aïoli burger and fries. Oh my God, we both said it's the best burger ever at the first bite. Great job and great service. read more

So, rather mixed, but little to do with the food or service... Had the burger, which, while tasty, isn't really a contender for "best". I'd order it again, but... The fries, again tasty, were a touch underdone, and needed seasoning.. Large party, and given ten of us, service was adequate. The "complaint" comes from the bill. Burger was $15, beverage was $5, and subtotal came to $20.60. Was told the subtotal includes a 3 percent pop for credit card, which should have been a separate line item; It wasn't "ordered", and the arithmetic is just confusing. I tip pretty well, but i don't tip on a service charge - an while i'll give the benefit of the doubt, i would feel deceived a next time. read more

Thyme on Section, offers a diverse menu of coastal dishes. I had the Gyro on Pita with Fries and loved it!! They serve Shrimp and Grits as well! Their handcrafted cocktails are fun and delicious too! Like "Thyme After Thyme" Charming atmosphere, very friendly wait staff, and unique wall art. Including pieces by the late Nall (a distant relative of mine). I highly recommend read more

This is a great little place located right in the heart of downtown Fairhope. My daughter and I were in town for three art walk. We shared the burger and truffle fries. Both were excellent. The service was great! read more

Rude. Rude. Rude. My daughter and I arrived on a Saturday afternoon, it wasn't busy at all. They sat us and forgot us. The food was meh... the service was awful without any apology or explanation. It felt like it was on purpose because she is gay and sometimes ppl mistake us as couple. The ambiance at Thyme was just like any other place. Go to Local! Awesome food, service and ambiance. Our country has gone through too much to treat ppl rudely when they haven't done anything wrong to you. read more

Stepped in for lunch and ordered the burger and fries. Burger was great and would definitely recommend if this is what you're looking for. Menu pleasantly surprised me with a few items. We love to support the local non chain restaurants so we will be back to try other items. read more

When we arrived for our 7pm reservation at 6:55pm, the hostess looked around frantically as though she didn't have a table. There were 4 open tables, but for some reason she couldn't seat us at any of them even though we had a reservation. She offered to let us sit outside at a tiny bistro table (that wasn't set), but informed us we couldn't drink alcohol out there. After I told her that was unacceptable she frantically moved us to one of the open tables. We sat there for over 10 minutes before our waitress (one of three working) finally came over to even give us water. Meanwhile, 2 tables that came in after us were seated, placed drink orders and had drinks delivered in this time. Our waitress was very pushy to get us to quickly order initially, but we made it clear we were not rushing. The pork belly bao buns were fantastic and the highlight of the meal. I had the bistro steak and it was terrible. Very tough and chewy piece of meat with zero flavor. The bed of asparagus it was on were completely undercooked and crunchy. My mom had the Thyme burger. She said it was pretty good. Overall, food was maybe 3/5 - saved by the bao and the burger. Ambiance was 1/5 because it was so loud we had to scream at each other. Service 2/5 based solely on our waitress and the hostess. Additionally, I noticed the hostess taking snapchat videos of the customers (making a poor attempt at discretely doing so)-- incredibly unprofessional at what should be a nice restaurant and also, don't video me. read more

Came back to Fairhope for vacation and Thyme was on the must go list! And it did not disappoint! Great food and drinks! Perfect date night spot! read more

After seeing positive Yelp reviews of this place, my friend and I decided to check it out. It's a pretty small place inside, but luckily it wasn't so crowded that the place was packed. The hostess was able to seat us so we were distanced from other diners and all the staff wore masks, which was a pleasant surprise. I ordered the Thyme after Thyme to drink, which was delicious and refreshing. It would be the perfect drink on a hot day (today was a little colder but it was still pretty perfect). I also ordered the Thyme burger with truffle fries. I requested the burger to be cooked medium, but it was definitely well done. The burger was still juicy and flavorful, so I decided to let it go. The goat cheese on the burger was an interesting choice, as it was a little overpowering. The burger was good overall, but I don't know if I would order it again if given the option. The truffle fries though were delicious--perfectly fried and seasoned. I would definitely order again. The service was quick, attentive and friendly. I would definitely return here if in the area again. read more

Bass was very oily All the vegetables and potatoes tasted microwaved SERIOUSLY. The pita bread was overwhelmingly burnt tasting and hummus was watery. Sesame chicken from the salad tasted like Tyson, sweet tea was sour, this place Looks like it's supposed to be fine dining but in actuality, it's an Olive Garden with a souped up microwave please don't waste you money it's not good I'm not just saying this save you money read more

Really good food. Everything taste fresh and homemade. I would definitely recommend. I really like the burger and gyros.

My Saturday Mother's Day lunch could've been anywhere, but I chose Thyme on Section because the last time I visited, a few months back, I couldn't wait for an opportunity to return! And, the food and service did not disappoint! We wanted to beat the lunch crowd so we opted to dine at 11:00 and there were many open tables. By the time we were finishing up, the tables started to fill up. I recommend calling for a reservation in advance, just in case! The prices are fair and the food is remarkable! read more

Ate here for dinner recently, based on a random recommendation and Yelp reviews. Nice ambiance. Simple but elegant. Our food - the cranberry / pecan salad was really good; the filet was cooked perfectly and the sides were good. Flourless chocolate torte was not as moist as I was expecting. Overall, the food was good, not great. Our server was efficient and functional, but seemed unhappy to be there. read more

When you walk the quaint streets of a precious little town like Fairhope you know (or at least hope for) several things. First of all your eye may be caught (and wallet depleted) by some fabulous bauble in a funky antique shop, or perhaps you will discover something quirky you can't live without and certainly never would even consider if not on Holiday.You most certainly yearn to be charmed. Now, this kind of window strolling works up appetite and thirst, and you must decide which little eatery will be the perfect place to slate and sate, .Thyme on Section fills this bill and more. You enter into visual fun featuring a cozy bar, slip into the small dining room sporting white washed rafters a long plate glass picture widow revealing more than a peek info the kitchen. That's where the real flavor magic is kicked up a notch.. Choices are eclectic but you can't miss. A simple lamb gyro is elevated with spicy aioli and piquant tzatziki. That ubiquitous southern pimento cheese sammy is boosted with smoky bacon and apple. The signature burger gets an extra kick with goat cheese and arugula. Cocktails are thoughtful and not contrived. Real beers are at the ready and while the wine card is short, you can find nicely curated choices. Go. Bravo! read more

Great sandwiches, fish and great atmosphere. Right in the heart of Fairhope. Prices are reasonable and service is great. Well recommended.

The most amazing burger! French fries were perfection. Service was great highly recommend if you're in town.

Come on, $25 for a Greek salad with grilled chicken and a domestic beer. I'm fine with the price as long as the portions are good. Not tonight. read more

Very solid food and service and a surprisingly good price for the location and quality. I had the huevos bowl and my wife had the blueberry pancakes. The ingredients were fresh and high quality. The food came out hot and fast on late sunday morning. The waitress was very kind and prompt, and the restaurant was nice inside. This was a nice place and I would definitely come back for breakfast in Fairhope. read more

Enjoyed a date night dinner at Thyme on Section when in Fairhope for the film festival. The atmosphere was very nice and intimate, although on a Thursday night in November it was not crowded at all. Might get loud if it's packed. Service was great and the food was delicious. All around great experience. I had the burger that other reviewers raved about and it did not disappoint! Very delicious. Had the butternut squash salad and it was very good. I would definitely recommend Thyme & go back when I'm in Fairhope again. read more

Oh, good Lord! I desperately wanted to LOVE Thyme on Section! After having it bookmarked for some time now, I finally corralled the hubs and a friend in for the perfect night for a Fairhope voyage and amazing dinner. Well, clearly that didn't quite go as planned. Follow me now... I called in and made a reservation, and we were promptly seated by the hostess upon arrival. Mary greeted us and made light hearted banter, then took our drink orders! And we were off-- Hubs ordered an Old Fashioned (of course), our friend ordered a muddy martini, and I ordered a Thyme after Thyme-- which was promptly spilled on the table in front of me on delivery. Yep. Mary, who was super sweet and extremely apologetic, gathered the ice, menus, and took the entire (soaked) table cloth away. Cool, and the beat goes on! Mary, promptly returns with a new Thyme after Thyme (great, right?!) carrying either a large fruit fly or gnat of some sort. I call her back, she's mortified and apologizes, and again works on another remake. Yeesh. "Third time's the charm!" My 3rd and final Thyme after Thyme was perfect, and I actually really like the cocktail. Onto the eats... we ordered the pimento cheese queso for a table app, the filet, bistro steak, and the Thyme burger. All came out delicious and unscathed expect mine. I ordered the Thyme burger medium, and it came out over well and slightly dry. I hated to call her back, yet again, but poor Mary agreed. She left me the amazing truffle fries to munch on during the wait, and re-fired the burger. The re-fire was PERFECT, and of course I was "truffle fry wasted" and had to have Mary box it to go after two bites. My friend Kyle at Tongue & Groove recommended Thyme on Section (and I bookmarked it) months ago, so this experience truly broke my heart. I had a rough night of it, but based on the re-makes and re-fires, I know what the quality can be when it's spot on. I'm going to try this again soon, and prayerfully, have a 5-star update. As for tonight-- le sigh. read more
