The sandwiches looked great. My grilled cheese sandwich was perfect!! 2 types of cheese with enough butter to make the cheese ooey and gooey. We didn't really understand how/where to order or how/where to sit, but following the directions of the folks in front of us helped. The menu consisted of sandwiches, soup and chips. There were a selection of different types of beer, wines and liquor. Cool ambiance; hanging out in the garage eating a sandwich while having a drink. The seats were a little uncomfortable, church pews, but you're in a garage. I would go back for the grilled cheese sandwich, for sure. The people with me thought their meat sandwiches were delicious!

They do warn you about the wait and personally I don't mind the wait because the bar area is very cool on the inside and sandwiches are immaculate. Outdoor patio is a vibe.

The first time we ate at a Roly Poly franchise was in Seaside, Florida in the early 2000s while on…read morevacation. While none of them have tasted quite as good since then (something about working up an appetite on the beach?), we still really enjoy a rare opportunity to eat at one. I knew we would be ready for lunch after a morning at a local museum, so I had researched possible venues earlier that morning. I showed my wife a short list and she immediately gravitated to Roly Poly. That would have been my first choice too. This one (the last one remaining in Birmingham, apparently) is in the Homewood neighborhood / area. It is located on a busy street with shops and plazas lining both sides. These look like they were built no later than 1950 but have evolved and been renovated as new tenants cycled through. We did angled parking on the street out front, but there may be better / easier parking on surrounding side streets. The only issue we had was backing out into traffic when we left; it took a few minutes for a gap. You enter and order at the counter. They have menus available there for you to check out. They have a rack of chips available, plus maybe other sides? I didn't look beyond the chips. You then sit down and wait for your order. I guess they have call-ahead too. Seating is along the wall to the right as you enter. There is a long bench the length of the wall with separate 4-person tables spaced along it, with 2 additional chairs each. Our order seemed to take a while, but it may have just been what we ordered (hot sandwich) versus other simpler orders getting filled faster. I got the French Twist, which is my favorite. I only got a regular and not a large, but I think I could have finished a large. My wife got something else, chicken-based I think. We both enjoyed this a lot. If I lived in the area, I'd probably stop in here semi-regularly.

I was here on a Sunday afternoon and it was packed.

Luckily one opened up. The person who took our order wasn't rude but he wasn't friendly. Not a problem but noted. I felt very rushed picking my sandwhich even though there wasn't anyone behind me. You should definitely know what you want before you get in line. We got our food and they messed up my friends order so we had to wait for them to correct it. You usually go up and grab your food but she was nice enough to bring it out to us. The sandwiches are pretty small. I thought I saw a soup option online but that wasn't an option in person.

Fresh, handmade and not overly greasy. The sauce was not too overwhelming and paired well. This was easy to digest and honestly I could have sat there and ate two. I really wish they had fries to pair with it. Chips only. For 3 sandwiches and 2 small drinks, our total was $25.08 with $1 tip. Fast service! My burger was made before I paid with the person at the counter as she was trying to get a togo order together. Parking is overall fairly easy. This is a good solid choice for lunch/ dinner. Restaurant was clean and spacious. The layout of the tables were interesting but overall I liked the style.

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.

But the macarons from their bakery in the back? Absolutely fantastic. Picking those up completely redeemed the visit, fresh, flavorful, and honestly some of the best I've had in a while.
