Very good for pizza, but best for subs. The veggie sub is one you've got to try, even if you're not really into vegetables. The spice is great, and the veggies seem very fresh. The prices are a little high, but the taste is worth it.

Great place for an extremely casual, laid-back meal. Almost the entire seating area is outdoors behind the restaurant, in a kind of bistro setting, so it's great in the fall or spring. Greek food, and more authentic than you'll find a lot of other places. Food has always been very good, and very quick. Prices are cheap, and you can bring your dog - they'll even give your dog a treat!

Fun to hang out in, around the bar - not really busy in the afternoon, and the bartenders are fun. Food is not very creative, mostly salads and sandwiches, but the wait is not too long and the prices aren't too expensive. Good for a fairly quick lunch.

Staple of Italian restaurants in the Birmingham area - has been around for years, and you can tell that by looking at the inside of the restaurant. Very small, very crowded, and the food is not terribly original, but it's not bad. Go early on the weekends, though, because the place fills up pretty quickly. The staff is very nice.

Meat-and-three - very quick, very cheap, and very fast. What better to look for in a lunchtime restaurant? The place fills up quickly at lunch, so go early or late. Food is filling, and pretty good.

Good Greek pitas - the hummus is thick and tasty, and the pita chips have always been freshly made. Gyros are big and tasty, and the service is very fast, especially on take-out orders.

Good place for take-out orders - fills up very fast during the lunch rush. Our company picks up lunch from Out Takes every staff meeting. The salads are filling, and the sandwiches are very good. They give you a lot of food for not very much money, and the fixings always seem fresh. The Southwestern black bean wrap is excellent!

Save up your money before you eat here, and be willing to spend a lot, but it's worth it. The food is excellent, and wonderfully prepared, and the service is extremely attentive without being bothersome. Wine list is extensive, and the bar service is very good. Fairly laid-back attitude for a higher class restaurant around here, so it's a great splurge.

Not very crazy about this place - last time I went the food did not seem very fresh (tortillas). Service was slow, although there were not very many people there. Food besides the tortillas was not bad, though.

Excellent food! You have to be willing to get a little messy, and everything drips with grease (what better way to cook Southern food?), but the taste is absolutely wonderful. Best bet is the barbeque baked potato.

Better place to hang out than to eat - the sandwiches and cheese dips are not bad, but you have to watch out for the chicken fingers - they tend to burn them. Service is adequate, but the atmosphere makes up for it.

Best BBQ I've ever tasted! The smoked chicken, especially, is unlike and WAY better than any you've ever had before. They are extremely family-friendly, and seem to regard the kids as regular customers, unlike most other restaurants we've been to. The kids even ask specifically to come back here!

Best in Birmingham for pasta dishes - they're famous for them, and there's good reason why. The beers are very good as well - the stout is my personal favorite. The service tends to be a little slow when they're crowded, but dining outside on a cool fall night is not to be missed.

Excellent place for Japanese - the service does tend to be a little slow, but the sushi makes up for it. Smoked salmon and spicy tuna are definitely the best, although I haven't had bad sushi there yet. Have only gone for dinner, and they've forgotten my sushi order a couple of times. The food's worth it, but be prepared to be there for a while.

Great place for burgers, but was disappointed by the fries - you get a lot of them, but the taste isn't what I was hoping for. The burgers and shakes are great, though - although you will wait a long time in line just about any time. Price is good, for when you want a change from McDonalds.

Not as impressed as all my friends by this place - last time I was there was for lunch, and the food all seemed to be in a puddle in my plate. Not a very attractive sight. Prices are reasonable, but just didn't care much for the food.

Don't know why everyone is crazy about this place - the food was mediocre, and the service was not very fast whatsoever. The prices are very reasonable, but the whole restaurant didn't seem very clean, and the food was bland, at best.

Have to try the corned beef there, even if you don't usually like it - very authentic preparation of the food, and small enough to have a "Cheers"-like quality to it. Beer prices are good, and you can find a lot of the Irish beers that are hard to find elsewhere in the city.

Great place for Chinese - the portions are huge, and the food always tastes very fresh. The kung pao chicken is my favorite, and they'll reduce or add to the spice as you wish. The mixed drinks are also very good, and reasonably priced.

Excellent place to go if some of your party wants BBQ and the rest want Mexican. Very, very family-friendly, and the food is absolutely wonderful. Some of our friends didn't care as much for the North Carolina-style BBQ, but everyone raved about the Mexican. The chile rellenos are among the best I've tasted, and the beer is pretty darn cheap. The service is also very fast and friendly. Would recommend it to anyone!
