Andy F. • October 12, 2012Get the country pâté and the croque-monsieur. Both are fantastic!

Alabama Year of Food • January 13, 2012A great place to entertain out-of-town guests and celebrate special occasions. Impress your group by recommending the baked grits.

Anthony & Drea • November 25, 2017Oysters & Root beer float ice cream!

Melanie M. • October 5, 2016Daily slice options (plus cheese and pepperoni every day). Add a small salad - big enough for 2 to share! Customer service was excellent - great lunch spot!

Tiffany T. • July 7, 2016Oh my cookies! True delight! Chocolate with chocolate and.. chocolate?! Perfect

Clark C. • December 13, 2016Simply one of the finest restaurants in Bham many would say the country. The menu changes daily so ask your server what they recommend. Their menu is a wonderful combination of Southern&Mediterranean

Mark K. • October 3, 2011This is a really nice venue.

J Matthew C. • August 16, 2012Looks are deceiving: Warm atmosphere, vintage Appalachia allure, tasty and simple deli selections. Home away from home vibe.

Melanie M. • August 23, 2016My go-to at lunch is the "chicken special," salad, chicken, rice, hummus, and pita! More than enough - you might even save some for a bonus lunch!

Matthew F. • February 19, 2017Vegan-friendly options, great food and staff! Tricky entrance by car, but well worth the search! Vegan cobbler, tamales, and sides all available, plus a new hummus taco not even on the menu yet!

Danielle R. • July 10, 2011Spicy beef noodle, spider rolls, wasabi mahi, aloha mahi, volcano roll, and tofu soup are my FAVORITES!!! Must try. Oh and thai tea is amazing!

Marc D. • May 28, 2019Can't go wrong with the T-Bone steak, everything and then some! Awesome crew, good vibes, and great food💜

Daniel H. • June 25, 2013Love the hummus. The sandwiches are a steal. The hummus and grape leaves sandwich (with it without lamb) is my favourite, hands down, but you can't go wrong with a shawarma. The lentil soup is superb!

Andrea W. • March 15, 2011Best meat and three restaurant in Birmingham!

Troy J. • September 6, 2016Best dark roast coffee around. All their flavored teas & other drinks are also great. And of course, awesome fresh donuts. You may not know they also have an excellent full menu for breakfast & lunch.

Ryan • January 25, 2017ANYTHING is great here. It's basic, comfy and cozy food and it's not overpriced. This is where you come if you want to experience great B'ham chow and rub elbows with the locals.

Thomas C. • December 3, 2013For the vegetarians, try the (namesake) Holy Shiitake and the Red Potatoe (without the bacon). Both are great, rich, and filling. Crust is the perfect thickness, crunch, and flavor.

Alan Y. • August 10, 2014One of the best rib and sauce pairings in the area. Don't forget to get an order of banana pudding before you go.

Joe A. • February 7, 2020Great food, nostalgic blues photos.
