The burmese Latte is my favorite. It is vanill and coconut. Get the whipped cream and stir it in for extra sweetness. Read more.
The bar is unique and fun! The bar tenders really interact and make a show of the art of making a great drink!
This is one of the coolest, chill coffee spots in town. The coffee is amazing, and the space is perfect for meetings.
Wow! Great cakes alive these were good strawberry pancakes! Coffee is wonderful and our waitress was very helpful and attentive. If I am back in Birmingham, I'm eating here.
This place is amazing! Can be tough to get seats at peak times, but the biscuits will blow your mind.
Big bad breakfast skillet is delicious. The biscuits are an excellent vessel for the peach jam. Or if you are in luck there might be some chocolate bread pudding which is a very special treat.
The hibiscus is addictive. So sweet yet tastes like tea at the same time, with a hint of grape. Yummy!
You gotta try the "pork over grits & greens, topped with onion rings". Phew! It will make you slap yo momma twice.
Brick & Tin has raised the concept of the lunchtime sandwich to a higher plateau, a gourmet sensibility that extends to its soups, salads and sides. But it also stretches the concept of a lunch hour. Read more.
Branding, atmosphere, and general vibe is really cool. Consistently be packed, so expect to wait. On my second visit, this place has really stepped it up. Had an off menu burger that was incredible.
There's a Krispy Kreme shake that's, yes, made with Krispy Kreme doughnuts, and a Nutella and burnt marshmallow shake that's the next best thing to melting s'mores by the campfire. Read more.

The upscale Italian restaurant has a sister café featuring wood-fired pizzas. We recommend the white pies, with a flavorful, meaty topping.
Same menu as regular GianMarco but you can pick your bottle of wine and enjoy on site. Great porch!
Trattoria has become my go to for breakfast. My favorite omelette is the pancetta, scallion and goat cheese. Don't pass this place up.
I love this cozy little restaurant. Food is wonderful, and an evening wouldn't be complete without some bread pudding.

Fun and festive, there's no better place to enjoy a meal outdoors at the Pinnacle. The royal red shrimp can't be beaten. Read more.
City Scene named the Hamburger Fonfon "Birmingham's Best Burger." One of the things most impressive about it is its simplicity. The beef and bun are so superior that it almost doesn't need any extras. Read more.
Nice atmosphere. Filet mignon was good but you can't really go wrong with that choice anyways.. Carrot cake is delicious.
It’s easy to see why this Birmingham joint is famous for its mac and cheese—the Three Little Pigs is laced with prosciutto and local bacon, then topped with pulled pork and fried onions. Read more.
Great local food. Service is alway top notch. If you like lemonade get the fresh strawberry lemonade. Their hot cheddar pasta is a fine side. And the half baked cookie is superb.
You almost can't go wrong with any menu choice. Don't pass up the salad; even the House Greens Salad is delicious! Thank Me Later :) I also recommend the Fire Grilled Salmon and Ribeye. Great Service!
The collard/apple salad and the cocktails were fantastic! The rr chicken was lukewarm and some of the charred carrots were undercooked. Everything tasted delicious though. Fast counter service!
The jamón ibérico was tender and flavorful, and the beef with chimichurri was juicy and bursting with flavor. The beef fat candle was unique.
It has a long line, but I'm willing wait a while for great food like this. Get the Mac Melt and add bacon to it. AMAZING!!!!
Damn good proper old fashioneds and boiled peanuts that make you wanna slap their momma.
Delicious food and great happy hour prices. Great local beer selection. The beer battered cheese curds are sinfully delicious - and the oyster rock and roll is yummy but has a kick! We will be back!

Chicken Tenders at a fine dining restaurant? Yes and they are some of the best chicken tenders ever, especially when they are teamed up with the Fried Okra appetizer.
Despite what the calendar might say, the soda fountain here is more like 1960. They still make their shakes the old-fashioned way, too. Read more.
Good variety of really good beers and the tap room is phenomenal. Ask the staff for guidance on new selections. Very helpful
Snake Handler consumption is a State Law now in Alabama as far as I'm concerned
Unique atmosphere. Periodic table of Birmingham behind the bar is made by a bartender. No cocktail menu; cater drinks by individual taste. Definitely will be coming back!
Moscow Mule is a must. Guinness on tap, too. Great atmosphere - very well done + they have cool matches :)
Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. Get a Hoegaarden and enjoy!
Incredible up and coming brewery in Birmingham. These guys are giving the long standing breweries a solid run. Cool space with rotating local art.
The Imperial IPA is terrific! Tried 4 other beers, all were good, but can't say enough about the Imperial IPA.
The best seats in the ballpark are in the Magic City View section. A gorgeous view of downtown Birmingham and a pretty obstruction-free view of the entire field.
Once around the park is 3/4 mile. Great way to start or end the day; nice views of the greater downtown area too!
Go to Vulcan between 6-10 PM and enjoy a panoramic night view of Birmingham.

Beautiful setup, incredibly knowledgeable and helpful staff-- a diamond in the rough.
