    Junk Chips
    Jessica W.

    We were a little nervous to order the junk chips knowing the flavors might not be a hit among some picky eaters at the table... but they were sooo good!! No crumbs left behind, 10/10 would recommend. Also ordered the wings, fries, and a side Caesar salad- all were average.

    THIS PLACE DOES BREAKFAST!!!! $20 for the breakfast buffet, stone ground grits, cage free eggs, CRISPY bacon, great coffee! Staff was southern friendly and I would absolutely come back here. Located at the Westin.

    Watermelon salad

    Best dining experience ever! In town a day early for a conference. We were staying at the Sheraton and the staff sent us to Todd English for dinner. We ordered the junk pub chips, which had pulled pork and other toppings that made this a great dish. The chips are house made and come out crispy and hot. This really could be an entree it had so much on it. There were 6 of us in our party and we shared this and it was still a lot. I ordered watermelon salad and the Memphis Style Ribs. The watermelon wasn't sweet but the goat cheese and onions helped make up for this shortcoming. The ribs came with P.U.B. chips and pickled veggies (okra and pickles). I didn't care for the pickled veggies but still loved the pub chips. The ribs were fall off the bone tender! The rub was slightly spicy but good! I also liked the fact that the two bbq sauces came on the side because I'm not a fan of the Alabama white bbq sauce. Definitely a place to try when you're in Birmingham!

    Salmon

    We ordered take out here for an outside dinner event. We asked for the Salmon medium, however, it was over cooked. I'm not sure if you can call the Mac and cheese real Mac and cheese. It had no taste and I can't even describe what I was actually eating other than noodles and some type of sauce. The Brussels were good. They just reopened due to COVID so they have a limited menu. I won't be back if I visit Birmingham again.

    I visited "Todd English P.U.B" on Saturday, August 27th. I sat at the bar and was tended to by Christy. She was absolutely AMAZING! I ordered 2 Palomas and she made both exactly how I liked them. She interacted with each guest at her bar and her personality is phenomenal! I can't wait to visit this place again and hopefully sit at the bar with Christy!

    this place is actually better than yelp review expected! Service is really fast! And people are friendly! Because i live in the hotel, this place is the most convenient place for me to grab food. Tried their several options, to be honest, the Alabama slammer are the best! Most of their food are fried, it means fat, but they are all tasty!

    Not quite a pub, Todd English P.U.B. is more of a sports bar with a pub theme. Comfort foods and higher end stuff on the menu. Lots of TV's around that are tuned in to the sports game of the moment. And speaking of menus, they have a large one with all sorts of beers listed. I really wanted a local beer but they were out. I ended up with something from Charleston SC that was good but... I had the grilled cheese sandwich that had some strange name. Inside, three kinds of cheese, bacon and tomato. Probably not very healthy but it was tasty. A huge bucket of thin fries that were salty and spiced. They picked up ketchup quite nicely. It's a great idea that they give you a bowl of popcorn when you sit down but wow, was it salty!

    Happy Hour special! $3 slider and $1 wings(2)
    Larissa B.

    How many visits until you're considered a regular? We had a brief stay in Birmingham for a conference. TEP was steps away from the Sheraton. With $1 wings (2) and $3 well cocktails during Happy Hour this is the perfect conference pit stop. The service was not fast. But, the drinks are cheap and the wings were meaty. It took my colleague over 30 minutes to get his wings. I had them order mine before I got there (I learned food service was pretty slow the night before). They did give him bonus wings and they were sooooo good. My friend Jenny was a huge fan of the ranch. I thought it was pretty solid too. Even with the wait. The price is right! I definitely recommend this spot for happy hour! Drop in between 3-6pm to take full advantage of Happy Hour! They have sliders too, but the wings are the better value .

    this was possibly one of the worst meals I've ever had, and the service was even worse. when we were seated, the manager says "a server will be right with you", 18 minutes went by and we had not even been greeted by our server. We flagged down the manager, who did not get our server, but took our drink, salad and entree order all at the same time. five more minutes went by and then our server appeared! she also took our order. never apologized for our wait, for her absence, nothing. acted like she was superb. our salads took 15 more minutes to come..our drinks did come in the interim of our wait for the salads. my husband ordered a Ceasar salad and I ordered a strawberry arugula salad. they were fine, but nothing spectacular. For the entrees, my husband ordered steak, medium-rare and fries. I ordered steak, medium-well and substituted macaroni and cheese. when the food arrived, his steak was so over cooked, it was hard and the fries were ice cold but barely cooked. My steak was unevenly cooked, and at about a medium temperature. It took quite awhile (at least 10 minutes) for the server to return. I conceded to eat the steak he had been brought bc then at least it was just one steak to have to be fixed. When the server finally came to our table, we explained it to her. she took the plate. about 15 minutes went by. While we were waiting, my husband went to ask who the manager was, as we did not know at this point. the hostess pointed out the managers, who we now realized had been the one who took our order, as we had not been informed of that from the outset. fine, no big deal. as my husband was finding out about managers, the manager brought the steak to the table, dropped it on the table and took off without staying to see if it was cooked probably, or even to my husband's liking. The steak was RAW. not rare. RAW. It had been barely seared on the outside and was still blue (and cold) on the inside. the worst part about all of this poor cookery is that they serve the steaks SLICED! which means they KNEW it was poorly cooked the first time AND that it was raw this time. They sliced it, slid it onto a new plate and slopped some chimichurri on top. Honestly, the chimichurri was the best part of the whole meal. It actually tasted good. Let me get back to the macaroni and cheese. it was nasty. the pasta was overcooked, and the sauce was not only broken/grainy but it had been scorched/burnt. i tried eating it, but it was inedible. So while his steak sat there, still raw, no one and I mean no one came to the table. Another 10 minutes went by. I asked thr hostess if she'd send a manager to our table. she also seemed irritated at the servers, etc. A different manager came to the table and asked what was wrong, and when we showed him the steak, he asked "what can I do to fix this?", which at first was a valiant effort. but at this point, was too-little-too-late. my husband said, honestly nothing. this is the first date night we've had in quite awhile bc of our busy schedules and there were a number of options in the vicinity but we chose here. so the manager says, well,, you won't have to pay for this. my husband said no, we just want to pay for what we ate and our drinks. so the manager leaves the table. we think to get our check. naynay another 10 minutes goes by. I am fuming by this point. we just want to pay and leave. our server comes to the table and actually asks if we like the food! she had no clue what had happened. the manager had not even told her! We just say no. and tell her what we'd like to pay for. she leaves. several more minutes go by. ANOTHER manager comes over and asks if my husband would like a box to take his RAW steak home. at this point I've had enough and I say, you're the 3rd person we've had to explain this terrible food and service to. we just want the check, for the love. it took another 20 minutes to finally get our check and get out of there. In addition to all of this, the table beside us was having similar "bad service" issues. to the point that they were walking out the door when their food finally arrived, and with no apologies or explanations. I might excuse many things, had the restaurant been packed full and extremely busy, but it was not. there were empty tables all over the restaurant. Now, I have said all of this because I am a chef. I worked in fine dining for many years. I was a line cook, sous chef, a kitchen manager, running the pass/expediting food. I am a big Todd English fan, and I wanted to experience his pub-style restaurant. But as a chef, I can say, with absolute confidence - people come for the food; they come BACK for the service. The food here was terrible at best, and the service, from the moment we sat down, was the worst I've experienced in a long time. Not only will I never go back, I will tell everyone who will listen about this terrible restaurant.

They have tried everything on the menu themselves. They can describe any one of the imported liquors up on the wall. These are real deal professionals who illustrate just how important the people in a restaurant's front truly are. The food? Delicious. It's a wild grab bag of East Asian fare - Chinese, Japanese, Thai - and it's all done extremely well. The portions are small, which is good, since you'll want to try half a dozen things on Current's very deliberately thought-out menu. The Peking Duck is some of the best I've had.

For appetizers, we ordered the Whipped Feta & Tahini Dip and also the Soft Pretzels & Provolone Fondue. Both had excellent flavors. I was especially taken by the latter as the soft pretzels worked so well with the gentle, warm and creamy fondue. As we were all quite hungry, we also shared a variety charcuterie platter. The selection of cheeses, meats, honey and olives were delicious. The astute server took it upon herself to add on for us some crusty bread which really added to our enjoyment. For entrees, our family had Butternut Squash and Kale Salad with Chicken, Crispy Chicken Katsu Sandwich, Prime Rib Dip Sandwich and I enjoyed the Turkey Pastrami Sandwich. All were very much enjoyed with premium ingredients and meat cuts. Aesthetically, the view from the restaurant is quite nice as it is up higher along the ridge line. The general shopping area of The Summit is completely and totally safe being just off Highway 280 and further from questionable downtown Birmingham.
