Great fried chicken. Sides are good also. Our waitress was just friendly enough and attentive enough. Good prices. Food was really hot to the table, nothing sitting around in the kitchen, grease made. Go here for sure, you will not be disappointed!
2. K & J's Elegant Pastries

4.5 based on 16 reviews
Specializing in Custom Cakes, Homemade Cupcakes, Cookies and Cinnamon rolls. Ice Cream and Kollasal Milkshakes.
Reviewed By Mike A
My family had seen this restaurant talked about in Facebook and decided to drive and try it. The milkshakes not only artistic were extremely delicious. I would definitely make this another family stop or for the younger folks an excellent date night spot. Definitely check it out, you will not be disappointed.
*Disclaimer* If your a diabetic, I would use caution. I am not a diabetic but I definitely felt a sugar rush.

4. Joe's Italian

Reviewed By Amber R
I chose this restaurant because of their gluten free options but discovered that there was only one gluten free pasta with only one sauce, rather than the “choice” advertised in the menu. The dish was over-sauced and with way too much basil. I could not catch a server’s eye to get more parmesan to cover the flavor and a glass of wine to wash it down until everyone else in my party had finished their meals which were dry and overlooked. My Mother-in-Law could not finish her lasagna. I left hungry and disappointed.
5. Dairy Queen

I want to thank Dairy Queen for appreciating their customers by having the annual Customer Appreciation day each year. We frequent this establishment throughout the year for quick lunches and ice cream treats, but its great to have one day each year where everything is 1/2 price. The $5 lunch is also a great deal. This is always a favorite place to go for lunch on a budget.
6. Jim 'N Nick's Alabaster

Slow smoked Bar-B-Q, sweet Southern hospitality in a relaxed atmosphere. All scratch-made trimmings, fabulous salads, rolling-pin-fresh pies and famous for our cheese biscuits. Full bar, catering, private dining, outdoor seating, drive-thru, to-go all available. Give us a try & you'll know why we've been voted Birmingham's best Bar-B-Q many years running!

Having eaten at other locations I was very excited to have dinner with my family at this location. After being seated it took several minutes to be spoken too by our waiter. After placing our drink order 5 of 7 in our party got their drinks. After waiting some 20 minutes I went and got a manager to get the 2 remaining peach ice teas.
During this visit, we waited an extended period of time for the hot biscuits to be brought to our table
The food was served as ordered and very tasty. It’s very unfortunate that the service is nowhere close to being as good as their food.
Bottom line if you are ok with bad service try this place out
7. Full Moon Bar-B-Que
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 87 reviews
Full Moon has a long, delicious history of great Southern-style 'que made in the time-honored, traditional way — with quality meats cooked low and slow over a hickory wood-fired pit and spiced with a mouthwatering, award-winning bar-b-que sauce. We are famous for our ribs, pork sandwiches, Turkey sandwiches, chicken sandwiches, loaded bbq & chicken bakers and half moon cookies.

Stopped here passing through and was pleasantly surprised. Not very busy at night, so the service was quick and efficient. Extremely clean and well lit! Got our order to go; it was hot, fresh, and plentiful. Best BBQ chicken I've had in ages! The "large" sandwich was almost more than one person could eat. This is a definite must return!

Great place to eat while traveling I-65. I enjoy the general tso's and my wife likes the vegetable dish. We enjoy the lunch special that includes egg roll, soup and entree. Great food and clean bathrooms.
9. LongHorn Steakhouse

Reviewed By ddmullis - Atlanta, Georgia
While evacuated due to IRMA, we went to this longhorn for dinner. Everyone enjoyed a nice steak dinner with salads and baked potatoes
The taste of the food was excellent. Each order came out cooked correctly
The service however, was a bit of a nightmare. Getting drink refills was next to impossible. Getting steak sauce and extra butter was a real chore.
It was $92 for 3 meals including one appetizer and no alcohol drinks.
If you are ok with slow poor service then this would be a great spot.
10. Chick-fil-A
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 26 reviews
Reviewed By DrChrisJ
This (and many other Chick-fil-A restaurants) sets the standard by which all other fast food should be measured! Quality is exceptional and consistent. The speed of service is unmatched. Environment is meticulously clean and welcoming...even the overhead music is great! Again, this is the standard by which all quick service restaurants should be measured.
