    Strawberry Cheesecake Waffle
    Lauren K.

    This was my second time at Toast. If you're in Birmingham this is a solid breakfast/brunch spot with a fun atmosphere. They get pretty crowded on weekends, but we were seated right away for our weekday brunch. The service was always great, and the waiters were very amicable. I really loved our waiters both times we were here. I got a strawberry cheesecake waffle today which was excellent. The cream cheese with the whipped cream, graham cracker dust, and fresh strawberries made for a very decadent breakfast meal that was surprisingly not as heavy as it looked, though I would not say it was light. I didn't use the syrup, but I could see how some people might want it for an extra dose of sugar. The waffles were nice and crisp, and I would definitely order this again if I'm in the mood for a sweet treat. Overall, this is a nice family friendly spot if you're in town!

    Breakfast bruschetta w/ side of bacon fried rice
    Reyna R.

    I got the breakfast bruschetta as my meal with a side of bacon fried rice. The rice was flavorful, but not sure how I felt about eating that for breakfast. The balsamic glaze was too strong for my liking. Got the oatmeal raisin cookie hot chocolate, and asked for it half sweet. It was yummy, but even then, it was still sweet. The iced bee-stachio latte was good. Did think it was very expensive though - $9.50 for a latte!? Went around 11am on a weekday and got seated right away. It was pretty full for a weekday. There was a lot of seating at tables and at the bar. Our waiter was still training, but he was very professional and sweet.

    Eggs Benedict with bacon fried rice
    Bridgette Z.

    Really cute restaurant that's been around for quite a while but I hadn't ventured out to this location for a long time. Today we walked in around noon and were seated immediately, although most of the restaurant was already full. Our server was very nice and explained the menu well. I felt the latte I got was quite expensive (9.50) but very very good. The classic eggs Benedict was also very good and plentiful. We also had the corned beef hash that was delicious. My only gripes really were the tight parking lot situation in the back and the lack of napkins for our very messy food lol otherwise everything was really good and although a bit pricey, I'd say it was worth it.

    Matcha with strawberry vanilla
    Jor K.

    Great spot for brunch. I got the matcha with muddled strawberry vanilla and it was delicious. We also enjoyed the chicken and waffles and house fries. Service was great!

    Classic 2 Egg Breakfast
    Lauri K.

    Food was very good. Coffee is excellent. I tend not to like strong coffee the second round. I did a little Baileys with it. They're overpriced but nowadays everything is I said at the bar if I didn't, I would've had a wait. The ambience is fun and crowded so you know the food is delicious

    Wonderful atmosphere and ambience! Busy but still enjoyable and intimate. We arrived with a group of 7 and they seated us quickly even though the restaurant had a good crowd. The service was impeccable! Friendly and efficient. It's a very upbeat place and it felt comforting especially when the deliciously prepared entrees arrived. Loved the holiday decor! Sweet or savory: you cannot go wrong. Homemade breads, jams and sauces. A variety of hot sauces at the table is always a winner! This place totally hits! Would very much recommend!

    Chicken and waffles
    Steffie K.

    This place is always a hit ! The waffles and chicken are top tier ! The mimosas are amazing, and the Parmesan grits BABY ! I highly recommend. Parking is a little congested though !

    Way way over priced for what it is. We had a gift card for $50 and still had to pay $13.63 for two people. That did not include the tip? Over $70 for breakfast? That's insane Waitress was very nice. First Watch is definitely better! Food was just okay.

    Dulce de Leche Grilled Cinnamon Roll
    Gabriel G.

    An absolute must for me any time I am in Ferndale at breakfast time! The ambiance has a Greenwich Village vibe with unique and delicious food options. I've never had anything there that I didn't like, and the Dulce de Leche Grilled Cinnamon Roll is out of control! A few favorites for me are the Huevos Rancheros, Bacon Fried Rice, and the Parisian omelet (recommend you ask them to go light on the Chèvre tho ;)). The Service has always been excellent and provided by cool and interesting humans. If you are looking for a cheap, greasy spoon brekkie, this ain't it!

    I tried Toast for the first time and enjoyed everything. The service was great and ambiance was well needed on a Sunday.. I will be returning with friends and family.

    Toast in Ferndale is my favorite brunch destination with fabulous food and a great staff. They DO add the 20% tip but we usually leave more because we LOVE Juju, our favorite server, although everyone is just lovely. They cook my eggs in butter, which you need to ask them to do if you have allergies to seed oils. TOAST IS THE BEST!!!

What we didn't expect was to be completely blown away. From the second we walked in, the bartender greeted us like we were regulars, and that alone sold us on sitting at the bar. Best decision. We're bar sitters through and through, and between the bartender, a friendly regular who scooted over for us, and literally every person we interacted with, the vibe was unmatched. I worked in the service industry in a former life, so I know how rare it is to find a place where everyone is friendly. There's usually at least one Debbie Downer. Not here. No rushing, great recommendations, and zero feeling like you're "that couple" taking up bar space. Drinks and beer selection were solid, but let's talk food because ambiance and service are only half the equation. We started with the coney dog egg rolls and... wow. Epic. Unique. Immediately set the bar high. Then we ordered the fish and chips and the short rib sandwich. The fish was perfectly breaded, the remoulade was on point, and those skinny fries were dangerous. But the star of the show? The short rib sandwich. Holy shit. I don't normally eat onions or horseradish, but somehow this sandwich converted me. The caramelized onions weren't overpowering, the sauce wasn't spicy, and everything just worked. We literally woke up the next morning talking about how we need it again. The bartender filled us in on happy hour and all the food options, and we're already planning our return. Total hidden gem on Woodward. Highly recommend. Thanks for a great Saturday night!

We didn't order cocktails, and the burgers took over half an hour to arrive on a not-crowded Tuesday.

    I recently stopped by The Corner Grill, Bar + Game Room with a coworker who was celebrating his…read moremom's birthday, and let me just say -- the energy in that place is a whole vibe. From the moment we walked in, you could feel it. Great music, lively crowd, and just an overall fun atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. The food coming out of the kitchen looked amazing -- everything was plated beautifully and smelled even better. Even just watching dishes hit the tables around us had me planning what I'm ordering next time. What's cool is I'm actually in the area pretty often on Sundays because I go to a laundromat nearby, and it always looks like they're hosting a really solid brunch crowd. After seeing the vibe firsthand, I can definitely see that being a go-to brunch spot. They also keep things exciting throughout the week. Every Thursday at 7 PM, they host trivia with Jonathan from Quizzo -- six rounds covering different topics with chances to win prizes like gift cards. That's the kind of midweek plan that turns a regular Thursday into something to look forward to. And if that's not enough, axe throwing is part of the experience too, in partnership with Detroit Axe Ferndale. Axe throwing has seriously become one of the most fun social activities out right now, and having expert Axe Masters guide you through it makes it even better. There's nothing like that satisfying thunk when the axe hits the target. Between the food, the drinks, the games, and the overall energy, The Corner Grill is more than just a bar and grill -- it's an experience. Definitely a spot I'll be back to.

The food is not the main attraction here, but we thought it was surprisingly pretty good. The burger was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The garlic green beans were delicious, but the portion size was comical. There were seven tiny green beans on the plate. We did order a second round to get our fill of veggies. They have a "gamemaster" who helps you select from the hundreds of games they have available. You can reserve a game table online in advance for $3 per person and that reserves you two hours of game play time. The restrooms are a little nightmarish. Literally in a dark, damp basement. Other than that, really enjoyed our evening here.
