It was after lockdowns but when we had to walk masked through the restaurant o be seated. Jeff Sessions was having a campaign event there but not much of a crowd. It was a terrible experience all the way around. I haven’t been back but I would hope that it has improved. I’ve always enjoyed the food there and even appropriated his Athenian Snapper to my menu. Best of luck. I would agree with @It Takes Eleven about Bright Star.
The last time I ate at The Fish Market it was terrible, I dunno, maybe they just had a bad day or something that one time, because every other time it was very good. Anyway, My can't go wrongs in B'ham.... Saw's BBQ in Homewood, Cedar House for the best meat and 3 (They're only open Mon - Fri. from 6 to 2), Davenports in Homewood for pizza, and a lot of the other places folks have posted (The Bright Star, Highlands B&G, Bottega). Depends on how much you want to spend and how far away from where you're staying you want to drive.
Milo's is a sad tale of expansion and cutting corners. The sandwich has shrunk significantly, there is no longer extra beef on a sandwich, and the beef they use now of miserable quality. How they cook their fries has changed. it's a hollow shell of itself. The tea company is owned separately by the daughter or granddaughter's side of the family, and they are thriving.
Saw's, Rodney Scott's BBQ and Avondale Common House are all pretty close.
Gotcha, Yo Mamma's Chicken and Waffles is a good one and close (3 or 4 blocks down on 2nd Avenue). The Cedar House that I mentioned before is about 4 or 5 miles up the highway.
I love fried catfish, the whole fish not filet's.
For real. If shots rang out at Twin Peaks, you’d better watch out for flying silicone. Or saline…
Twin Peaks- never heard of it but we were at the mall in Hoover. Glad I stopped.
