So good it ain't funny. Go there to eat and there's no telling who you might run into. I usually go for the greens(collards or turnips), candied yams, fried corn, green beans, fried or baked fish.
DanielAugust 14, 2013Go on a Friday or Saturday night. Busier, but better food. Old standby is the Greek chicken breast with mac & cheese, collards, and lemon icebox pie. Can't be beat.
Martina Wiggins-CouvillonJuly 20, 2017This place was hopping. Michael our table server was lightning fast and friendly. He was always available and had our refills before we needed to ask. The food was great, well seasoned, good portions.
Zach R.August 2, 2019You can't go wrong with the good southern style cafeteria food here. It tastes great and service is always fast and efficient.
Rachel SparkmanJuly 20, 2010Classic Birmingham eatery. Everything is great here, just make sure you know what you want when you get to the head of the line! Try to get there early to beat the rush.
Richard BJanuary 3, 2015The Greek baked chicken w/ lemon sauce is the best chicken I've EVER had in my life. I'm floored.
When I want some good ole soul food and corn bread, this is the spot! I love there cheese cake too
Latonia NettlesJune 20, 2017My first time coming here and my only complaint is it was crowded. The food was marvelous the sweet tea was amazing 😉 the service was above average
Gina Stovers-mabeApril 20, 2012Make sure if your in a party of 5 or more you let them know or they will rudely let you know that you did not !!! We failed to see the sign and was not so politely told from now on to let them know
James HemrickJuly 14, 2015Had breakfast. Gravy for the biscuits was great and breakfast came with a super fresh cinnamon roll.
Murf DiddySeptember 25, 2013The nanner pudding was like the kind granny used to make. Hot and with the creme topping with the burned edges. In a word-AMAZING!
Everything taste great in here! I absolutely love going to dinner here:)
Kristopher DeanFebruary 22, 2013A Masterwork of Organzation in every form. Not to mention out of this world food.
Evan StaffDecember 31, 2015This place is mandatory Birmingham eating. The perfect southern "meat and three."
Jim CabralAugust 9, 2014Very friendly service. Survey all your options before you enter the line. It moves fast.
The stewed tomatoes as seen on Bizarre Foods America are awesome and I hate tomatoes otherwise.
Barbara FriendsSeptember 9, 2017Don't get the veal parmigiana. The sauce tastes like watered down ketchup and I had to ask for cheese. I loved the collards
Orion JonesApril 3, 2017..can't do it. I have friends that have died from Cancer. To deny a person with a breast cancer shirt whose friend died is not worth another trip.
Get off of your cellphone while in line. DID YOU NOT HEAR WHAT I SAID I SAID GET OFF YOUR CELLPHONE.
Anita E.August 15, 2016I didn't know place was this place was cafeteria style. The workers rush you to select your items before you even have a chance to look and it's truly over priced...WILL NOT RETURN
Charlie DonnerNovember 5, 2011Y GOT TO GET OUT 2THESE PEOPLE THEY KNOW HOW TO FILL THAT EMPTY SPOT U GOT THE HOLE PLACE IS OFF DA HOOK YEA YEA
William BoleyAugust 3, 2021Second time going and I have to say it wasn't the greatest.tje only thing I really like was the bread. Don't think I will return.
Fergy FergusonAugust 5, 2011Service sucks. They push you like cattle through the line. I will NOT be back.
