Our favorite spot for a burger, beer and fried Oreos-plus, the original one started at JMU!
This BBQ joint has been featured multiple times on Food Network and was rated the #1 BBQ restaurant by Paula Deen. Try one of their three locations (Saws Juke, Saws BBQ or Saws Soul) which all specialize in something different! (We love Saws Soul Kitchen for their wings!)
The BEST Italian restaurant in the city (and the world, in our opinion).
Fried chicken + pimento Mac n cheese.
A restaurant that only serves different varieties of grilled cheese..that is across the street from a cookie dough shop.
Delicious Mexican food and margaritas galore
A food hall with a variety of restaurants and a bar in the middle.
Great craft beer and cocktail menu-but it’s worth going solely for the corn dog.
Dog-friendly and great beer
Across the street from the Hilton Garden Inn downtown
A brewery with a huge outdoor space-great for a nice weather day!
Create-your-own cocktail bar close to the Elyton Hotel
A speakeasy located through a phone booth above a hot dog restaurant-they’ll even deliver hot dogs to you while you drink fancy cocktails
Located across the street from the Elyton Hotel-rent a costume to wear while you drink and they’ll deliver fresh popcorn to your table.
Brand new seafood restaurant in Lakeview-they accept reservations
Breakfast

The rooftop bar at the Elyton Hotel offering amazing views of Birmingham and great drinks.
Another brunch (or lunch/dinner) spot!
If you’re one for cheap tacos and dangerous margaritas, this place is for you.
Great place for brunch (and mimosas)
