Hear from our valued guests
Neat little bar/grill in downtown Birmingham that has an adjacent arcade. Food was great and service was friendly. We had Bailey for our waitress and she was very insightful in recommending the boiled peanut Hummus, which was delicious! Family friendly atmosphere with good eclectic vibe.
We were on a weekend trip and randomly decided to drop in for dinner. Glad we did. This place was awesome. Our waitress was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, they have several local beers on tap and the food was top notch for a burger and fries place! I recommend getting the Paramount burger! However I do not recommend an appetizer before unless you want to take one home!
Stopped here on our trip out west and visited with a niece. It was a neat place, the food was good - we all had various types of burgers and everyone enjoyed them. The atmosphere was nice though the music was louder than I would have liked. But no problem really. They forgot our onion ring order but when we saw the burgers and fries we decided we could do without them.
Tight spot, but good food and fun games. Fries, the southern burger and triple threat are all delicious. Kid friendly, no changing table, but clean bathrooms. Recommend!
Had a really good lunch and a complete of beers here. Staff was friendly and quick. They had a nice selection of draft beers but we're out of a few things. (that's just the way it goes, usually) Just chilled for awhile and didn't feel rushed. Our waiter checked in regularly and we were never waiting on a beer. When we finally ordered, the food came out fast. We got Great Balls of Fire as an appetizer. Very good and you definitely get a good amount for an appetizer. I got the Holy Schnitzel! Sandwich and some fries. Very good. Fries were awesome too. My partner got the Forester hotdog and said it was really good too. Definitely stop in if you want a good meal!
Was in town for a concert and wanted a place to catch the Saints game on Sunday. This place was perfect. Great food, drinks, and vibe. They even went out of their way to put the game on a TV near us. Highly recommend the wings and onion rings. Carly was an excellent server, very attentive. Easy walk from the Tutwiler Hotel.
My first impression was that this place was amazing! The food is fulfilling and delicious, the staff were friendly and helpful, and it’s in the heart of downtown Birmingham so the city vibe was phenomenal! They also have an arcade room. It’s the best of both worlds and I highly recommend for a fun outing!
Wow! I had to get the Paramount burger, of course, because you have to try the burger named for the place. It was definitely a beast, and hard to wrangle but the flavors were fantastic! The onion rings were also very good - I have never seen such wide cut rings, but I liked it. The horse-ey sauce was also delicious!
This place is such a vibe. Was looking for a place to grab a quick bite, and this restaurant did not disappoint. I kept it easy with their wings but they were so good and worth it. A twist on lemon pepper wings. Would definitely visit this place again if ever in Birmingham.
LIVVVV I am still thinking about that spiked apple cider drink! WOW WOW WOW WOW… sooo good, so seasonal, so refreshing. Honestly, one of the best drinks I’ve had in a long time. Liv, the bartender, even told me she made it herself and it’s not often you meet the actual creator behind such a perfect drink. The flavor, the balance, the fall vibe… everything was on point. I’ll definitely be back before the month is out, not just for that cider but to get the full experience since this was just a quick stop. Liv is truly talented! The décor was so cool and creative + it’s half arcade, and I noticed everyone around truly enjoying their food. I can’t wait to come back and try it for myself next time!
