We decided on The Country Club and the Slamming Bacon cheeseburger. It was definitely cooked to order and truly didn't take too long to get to the table. The fries were well seasoned and perfectly crisp. The burger was good but the sandwich was amazing! It was even better than I imagined and huge. Prices were pretty reasonable for the nice portion size too. For two meals we paid about $27. We will definitely be back to try their breakfast!

My friend ordered the chicken kabob entree but the man quickly told us it would be a 20 minute wait. I appreciated that he let us know since we were on a hour lunch break. He did recommend the lunch special alternative which she went with. I got the mushroom and Swiss burger. I absolutely loved the patio area. It's actually the only seated dining option since the inside is only big enough for ordering. Our food came out pipping hot which was nice! The burger and fries are a great portion for the price. I was a little disappointed that there was mustard on my burger. However that's my fault! It's clearly on the menu I just didn't pay close enough attention. I'm a huge mustard hater so that threw me off. The fries looked delicious but they were just a tad undercooked for my liking. Definitely not raw, just not cooked long enough. My friend enjoyed her food for the most part but it was nothing to rave about.

I used to frequent a bakery that was on this strip but I never saw this quaint little deli. The staff was pleasant as we looked over the menu. I ordered the chicken kebabs and my friend ordered the Philly with fries. Later he added a plain cheeseburger just to try it. He said his Philly didn't have much meat and he didn't care for the wrap. He thought it was going to be a traditional sandwich. However, my chicken kebab meal was flavorful and delicious. I didn't like the salad dressing that came on the salad, but that's just my particular preference. Everything was very fresh and was enough for two meals. I particularly enjoyed the outdoor seating on this nice Fall afternoon. We had differences of opinion on the burger. I thought it had a great taste-seasoned well, and fresh. My friend wasn't impressed and mentioned that it came out too fast to have been made fresh. I would love to go back and order one with all the trimmings to get a more accurate account as to how to rate it. I will definitely return to try more menu items.

The Ranch House is conveniently located just off Columbia Road, north of Highway 31. The building…read morewas once a Pizza Hut and still retains that distinctive 1970s design. The Ranch House has been around for many years, and the parking lot always seems to be full. I had heard it was excellent for breakfast, but I was curious about what other options they offered. The restaurant has changed ownership several times over the years, yet it has maintained a loyal following. My friends and I stopped in for lunch on Monday, and I was impressed by how large the menu is. The sweet spot here is the classic meat-and-vegetable combinations. The term "meat and three" is part of the Southern vocabulary -- especially in Alabama -- and The Ranch House does it well. The meat and vegetable selections rotate daily, and there's enough variety that you should easily find something you'll enjoy. The restaurant also includes "Markarios" in its name, and you'll notice Mediterranean influences sprinkled throughout the menu. For lunch, I ordered the chicken shawarma wrap along with a Markarios side salad. The chicken was nicely seasoned and full of flavor, and the salad was fresh and excellent. Overall, a solid local spot with something for everyone.

They did remake it but then the grits were like water with lumps and instead of being in a bowl they are served on the plate - No taste to the food. The biscuit turned very hard after a few minutes like it had been cooked earlier and then microwaved prior to serving. Then we noticed the price on the check was not accurate when compared to menu. This is the second time this has happened to us there - the waitress pointed to a place on the menu that says an up charge for eggs. Well I guess they can charge whatever according to that. We'll also had to constantly flag people down to get service. A totally different atmosphere than years past

A Tale of Two Sandwiches: I was introduced this time last year to Bruto by a student. I don't like…read moresandwich shops, because I can make sandwiches at home. But the Il Capitano was not just any sandwich. Perfectly crisp prosciutto, toasted sourdough, Italian mayo and arugula. It was perfect. It was like meeting a man that checked almost every box. Since then, I visit regularly and always order the same sandwich. But honestly, it comes out different every time. Like a bad good boyfriend, the inconsistency wore on me. "maybe they had an off day." "It'll be better next time." Sometimes the prosciutto is on the light side or the mayo on the heavy side. Once I went and they subbed romaine. It did not work. I drove up 20 minutes and they closed early. I came another weekend and they were out of bread. No social media posts. No nothing. They charred my kiddo's pizza. But we kept trying, because I remembered the good times and it would be just good enough to keep me coming back. Then today I decided to break up with Bruto for good. I ordered and paid as usual. My sandwich had no arugula so I asked them to fix it. When I got back to my desk I realized why. The arugula was yellowed and mush. The bread was not toasted and mush. The prosciutto... barely fried and floppy. I love local businesses. I love food. I love giving out food recommendations. I can't recommend Bruto anymore. I hope they grow and are better for the next customer. It's not me. It's you. And it's over.

Here's a clean, balanced review you can use:…read more Review: Bruto is a really cute spot with a great ambiance, definitely a place you want to like. The vibe is cozy and inviting, which makes it feel like a perfect casual hangout. That said, the service experience could use some improvement. When I walked in, I wasn't greeted, and when I asked about the pizza of the day, the staff member didn't know and didn't try to check with anyone else. It felt a bit disengaged. I ended up ordering the 2-slice and salad special, which was honestly pretty average, nothing particularly memorable or standout. Overall, it's a nice-looking place with potential, but the food and service didn't quite match the atmosphere.
