Stumbled across this gem randomly when plans changed, and thank goodness I did! Style and decor was eclectic and personally... gave me a unique urban-type feel. Friendly staff, their cocktails unique and refreshing, and for my first time having chicken &waffles, did not disappoint one bit! Portion size was off the charts, I could’ve definitely it :) Ended the night with breadpudding, and man oh man, was it delectable! Definitely coming back if I’m ever in the area again! Read more
Not the best service I've ever received but it was decent! I'd go again for sure! Great food! They know how to cook for sure!
Really good food and nice evening for a Thursday night bite to eat. We had the meatloaf and seared porkcop. For the price of... food, the ambiance should of been better. The pork belly starter was tasty but not for the price and portion. ($14). In anutshell, if we pass thru Birmingham again and hungry, we'd stop back. Read more
Used to eat at John’s City Diner often for lunch back in the 1990's, but had not been since they reopened after closing... temporarily for COVID-19. Love the new decorations, friendly staff and great comfort food - a downtown Birmingham classic! Read more
Cozy atmosphere. Food was very good. Had burger and turkey club both sandwiches were plentiful and the fries had a delicious... taste. Most surprising for me was the pickles. They tasted like they were home made with a slight sweet taste. First timethere and would go back. Read more
