One of our favorites! Located in Old Vestavia this locally owned operation has it down. Food and service make for a the best experience. No matter whether you are looking for lunch or dinner, you can not gone wrong!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND this spot for brunch. They offer a wide variety of delicious dishes, from brunch to dinner. They provide the greatest options to choose from for reasonable prices. Their mimosa and Bloody Mary were on point. Will be returning for lunch/dinner.

My husband and I love this cute little restraunt, we having coming for years. But sadly the staff has changed and it just isnt what it used to be. Friendly reliable, and quick service along with jokes and joy while eating. This night we had the heavier set male server. Not 2 time alex, but the other one. He kept perfusoly sweating and sniffling his nose, along with wide souless eyes, everytime he came to our table.

American fare bar & grill with an incredibly friendly staff! Feels like a “local place” that’s open to everyone, and the menu is SO MUCH BETTER than average!! Witty descriptions of the plates and drinks contribute to the atmosphere. It’s The Place when you just want a good burger and cocktail.

I’m not going to waste our time writing fancy words. Our first visit here was fantastic. The Rebel Yell cheeseburger was phenomenal (but be smarter than me and just get the single). Wife had some awesome Cajun pasta. We’ll be back soon. Oh and our server, Naomi, was the best!

Tony Holeman
Food was great and definitely a local place. The only complaint was the selection of draft beers on tap. Plenty of craft beer but need a Miller Lite option for the local rednecks palette.

It had been years since we had been here. It’s was better than remembered, and we loved it before! Great service, good and atmosphere. They welcome you in live family. So much attention to deal! Cahaba sauce wings are the best!

This was my first time to this restaurant/bar. actually had no idea what I wanted to eat. But Jessica was amazing. Excellent suggestions on food choices and she makes amazing drinks. The burger was amazing and I would definitely suggest everyone try this. Small interesting fact. They make all their dressings in house. ( The ranch is AMAZING) For a Wednesday evening dinner spot. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I will definitely be back thank you for everything. And btw the pricing was very affordable.
