Description:
FIVE POINTS SOUTH. Locals have been frequenting the Cobb Lane Restaurant since World War II. Occasions are seemingly better when they're celebrated at Cobb Lane! Famous for its rich she-crab soup and consistently topnotch food, it's a popular spot for either special occasions or simple dining. Sunday brunch is particularly solid, with dishes ranging from Pepper Jack Steak Omelet or pancakes topped with candied pecans to Ovetta's Famous Chicken Salad or Southern Fried Catfish and Grits. Relaxed dining with superb service. Dine either inside or outside, depending upon the weather and your preference. |

daniel george restaurant & bar |
|
(Restaurants - American) |
|
2837 Culver Rd, Birmingham 35223 • 205-871-3266 |
|
|
| |
Description:
MOUNTAIN BROOK. This is one of the premier restaurants in Birmingham. Once you enter daniel george (an amalgamation of the owners' first names), you're immediately charmed by the space's sophisticated yet charming atmosphere. The wine list is extensive, as you might expect, but what really wins rave views are the creative American numbers prepared in the kitchen. Though the menu changes daily, you can count on outstanding game, Gulf seafood dishes and French cuisine. |

Dreamland BBQ |
|
(Restaurants - American) |
|
1427 14th Ave S, Birmingham 35205 • 205-933-2133 |
|
|
| |
Description:
FIVE POINTS SOUTH. When the subject of Alabama legends comes up, Dreamland should no doubt be mentioned in the same breath as George Wallace, Bear Bryant, and Bo Jackson. Known far and wide for their sinfully delicious BBQ ribs, "Big Daddy" Bishop and crew took a simple concept (ribs, their signature sauce, and a few pieces of white Sunbeam bread) and, over the years, developed it into something that can only be described as down-home gourmet. Rustic decor, historic signs, and old photos decorate the walls, recreating the character of the original Jerusalem Heights location, but the food truly steals the show. As the saying goes, "Ain't nothing like' em nowhere!" |

Hot and Hot Fish Club |
|
(Restaurants - American) |
|
2180 11th Court S, Birmingham 35205 • 205-933-5474 |
|
|
| |
Description:
FIVE POINTS SOUTH. Described as serving global cuisine with local ingredients, Hot and Hot is a longtime Birmingham favorite. But don't let the curious name confuse you – the owner's great-great grandfather belonged to a gentleman's club of the same name in South Carolina. Recipient of many, many food and wine awards, the restaurant boasts entrees like wood oven-roasted duck breast and crispy confit, sauteed snapper on parsnip puree, and hickory-grilled sirloin with fingerling potatoes and blue cheese butter. An extensive wine list is also available. |

1906 1st Ave N, Irondale 35210 • 205-956-5258 |
|
|
| |
Description:
IRONDALE. The inspiration for the Whistle Stop Café in the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes," this cafeteria-style eatery sits beside train tracks and does, in fact, serve fried green tomatoes (between 60 to 70 pounds of them a day!). The menu changes daily but includes all of your Southern favorites, such as fried chicken, meatloaf and mashed potatoes. |

Jim 'N Nick's Bar-B-Q |
|
(Restaurants - American) |
|
1908 11th Ave S, Birmingham 35205 • 205-320-1060 |
|
|
| |
Description:
FIVE POINTS SOUTH. "Hold to your hat!" ... That's always good advice for folks planning to visit this downhome Southern fav, whose first restaurant opened in B-Ham back when Bear Bryant was running things. Pork, chicken and savory brisket are lovingly prepared the old fashioned way – slow-cooked over a hickory wood fire – and will satisfy even the heartiest appetite. Exposed brick walls, dark wood, and historic pictures of Birmingham give the 11th Avenue spot a cozy feeling that will have you coming back again and again. |

Shula's Steak House |
|
(Restaurants - American) |
|
1000 Riverchase Galleria, Birmingham 35244 • 205-444-5750 |
|
|
| |
Description:
HOOVER. Photos from the Miami Dolphins' storybook "perfect season" line the walls at this steakhouse, and don't be surprised when your server passes you a pigskin – it's the menu, after all! The Shula's Cut steaks (a designation given only to qualified cuts of Premium Black Angus Beef®) steal the headlines, but Maine lobster and several selections of fish are also there for the savoring. For dessert, gratify your cravings with a sinful chocolate concoction, or opt for a classic like crème brulee or apple cobbler. |
