Once again, this is my first of two go-to spots when I want to dine locally. (The 2nd is La Paz)…read moreEverything I've had on the menu is delicious. Service is great. That ambience is casual. I'll often pick up a pie to take home but when I'm dining in, I get something special and every time I do, it's delicious. Timing tip: don't wait too late in the evening to go there! Their building has tenants above them so they have to close at 9:00 PM

Finally made it to the Front Porch. We heard fabulous things about this place, so thought we would…read morecheck it out. Had an enjoyable dinner on the patio. It was nice and not too loud. Our waiter was great and had lots of suggestions. We ended up with the blackened chicken pasta and pimento cheeseburger. The burger was cooked to perfection and tasty. The bun itself was a little thinner than what I am used to but still good. The pimento cheese was not my favorite, as it seemed to lack something. The sweet potato fries with caramel sauce were delicious and great accompaniment to any burger. The pasta was just your average dish. They did have a nice cocktail menu... Ended up with a blueberry lemon drop martini and absolutely delicious. Will we be back? Yes... There are some other things we would like to try.

We stopped for lunch after running errands. I ordered a Gyro and my spouse the 2 piece fried…read more This place is reasonably priced. Very reasonable My Gyro was ok, but lacked the sliced onion and dill sauce that I am used to having The catfish was good the filet was thin and heavily breaded The fries were sprinkled with seasoning and nice and hot. Would come again, but would try to order something different.

Very pleased! $20 for two pieces of catfish, about 7 wings, Cajun ranch okra and a drink. I called…read moreahead and my food was ready when I got there. It looks to be family owned and the young boy who helped me was very courteous! The catfish was a bit salty but definitely seasoned well. The Cajun okra was tasty as well, not my top okra in Birmingham, but still very good. I wish those were fried a bit harder but I know for next time. The mild wings? DELICIOUS. They remind me of a place that closed down in my hometown. So good. The fruit punch was amazing as well. I'll definitely be back soon!

I stopped by this place when I was walking back to my car and decided to check it out…read more It is like the inside of a really nice gas station store without the pumps. I was greeted by a sweet Indian woman that was telling me what type of food they had of course Indian and American. There was quite a variety of snack, snacks, and drinks. I figured it would be more of a grocery store, but it was definitely a convenience store vibe. If you like Indian food, you might want to check it out. She also said they had Indian pizza which I've never heard of before. They did have a big selection of beer and wine.

Looks amazing and can't wait to dig in. I have visited this place in the past . I remember having the salad and they did not disappoint. It's enough for 2 people to enjoy. They have indoor and outdoor spaces for eating. They have a casual dining menu and offer spirits. Come check this place out if you are in the neighborhood.

Casual pint is one of the only true craft beer bars in Bham, perfect for a laid-back night out…read more They have a good selection of craft beers on tap, with new selections rotating through frequently. They also have a great selection of canned beer singles which you can drink there or take to-go. For those not into beer, there is also wine and NA beverages. They have a variety of games to play and also host bingo, trivia, and live music nights every week. The food menu offers a mix of giant pretzels, bratwursts, flatbreads, wings, wraps, burgers, etc. I've had most of everything on the menu and you really can't go wrong with any of it!

If you dine in the food will be brought out to whatever table you choose. I love that it's self serve drinks because I sometimes have no clue what I want up until the last moment. The food also tastes super fresh! It's a comfort meal and makes me feel like everything is made from scratch! The avocado especially was ripe enough and it didn't come out brown. It's like they timed it just perfectly to open one for me. The bathrooms are so clean as well! And they keep this place so tidy overall! The patio on this specific location overlooks the traffic and they have made it so peaceful. This is a spot I can frequent!

Farrelleys for my birthday dinner!!…read more We've been here several times and have never been disappointed! They have an amazing happy hour from 4-6. I got a marg ($8) and the baked pimento cheese dip to start - served with pita. ($7) I loved my pan seared scallops with grits and broccolini. The cranberry bacon "jam" really adds so much flavor and create the perfect bite when you add all components together. ($34) Dad and David got the meatloaf and loved. It comes with house made BBQ, potatoes and broccolini. ($28) Perfect for when you want to go to an upscale meal but still have to make your man happy - this is literally a "meat and potatoes" dish. Mom got the Paneed chicken with brown butter sauce, mashed potatoes and spinach. She had no complaints! ($28) Service was very friendly and parking was no issue at all! This is a perfect place for a big group because there's something for everyone. It's casual, comfortable but still feels on the upscale side of things. We will be back!

We don't stop in nearly often enough, so it was a quick decision. I like their hamburgers because they're nice and big. Add some fries to in and it's a great filling meal. This time we didn't sit outside since it was a little chilly, but that's always a nice option if the weather is good to enjoy the patio and fountain. Their baklava is also a pretty good price, and we sometimes like to get a couple to take home for later.

Highly recommend - grab a mint tea and say hi to Ms. Blanca!

Our waitstaff were friendly and helpful…read more The ambiance was nice with a structural ceiling of large wooden beams and the seating and lighting were also warm and inviting. There are many posts on Yelp with menus and prices. I refer you to these. I didn't rate J Alexander's a 5 because the French Dip I ordered was served very rare. For the rare meat lovers out there it's perfect for you. Make reservations several days before you go. They get very busy especially on the weekends.

While the crust of the prime rib has amazing flavor, the whole thing was very tough. When you pay $100 for lunch you do expect excellence. Prime rib should never be this tough.

We all agreed beforehand that we wanted to try a new place that felt pretty relaxed and had outdoor seating. This place gave everything, plus some! We didn't have to wait long for a table, and our waiter was very attentive & knowledgeable about the menu. He answered all of our questions & helped me decide what to order. The outdoor seating is spacious & it was nice to hear the live music coming from a neighboring business. My friends got the Goofy Foot drink & said that it was good but definitely on the stronger side w/the tequila. I opted for a glass of Riesling, it was delicious & paired perfectly with my meal. We didn't get any appetizers. I ordered the fish of the day: Red Snapper w/a Sweet Pea, Tomato & Saffron Risotto 20/10 I always judge food on whether it's "first bite" good & every piece on my plate passed the test. One of my friends chose the Smoked Salmon Pizza, which I was a bit skeptical about at first, but I tried a slice & it was so good. Definitely an out of the ordinary pizza combo that made me rethink all the ways smoked salmon can be used. Another friend ordered the Grilled Ribeye w/Brussel Sprouts & Mashed Potatoes, she loved it! The espresso martinis were also delicious. I wanted a cannoli for dessert but they were sold out, unfortunately. Overall, I'll definitely be returning b/c the food, pricing & atmosphere are all worth the drive. Can't wait to try the lunch menu next!
