El barrio is one of Birminghams restaurants. You can expect to wait on friday and saturday evenings due to the high demand for delicious food at a reasonable price. The servers work harmoniously during busy times and have a streamlined process so that you have the best dining experience. They are gracious about accommodating dietary needs and restrictions which is so welcome due to the Birmingham food scene largely lacking that. The only things that could make them better is gluten free churros on the menu.
Try the queso!
I’m from New York and on the way to the airport, I wanted to find a nice brunch spot somewhere near. I saw the reviews and pictures of this place and thought it would be a great place to try. The moment I come in, I already love the vibe of this place. Not only that but our server was very nice and friendly. We got the Farm Breakfast, Smash Burger, and the Royale Sandwich as our mains, along with the gluten-free blueberry muffin. And let me tell you they were absolutely delicious!! We also ordered a Matcha Latte with oat milk and the Golden Monkey Latte, and the drinks were phenomenal. They were so concentrated and the flavours were so rich, it made me love Matcha. Overall as a person who just was looking for something light to eat on the way back home, this was amazing! Anyone near this area must try this place out! I definitely recommend getting the dishes we got but if you wanna try something else I’m probably sure it won’t disappoint. If I am ever back in town I will definitely be coming back!

Thankful that they offer dietary options, although the staff could be better trained. Was told I could have the Brussel sprouts (coated in soy sauce - "because it was soy based" - I have celiac disease). After spending $32 for 10" rectangular pizza (3 toppings) that was so-so, I'm not keen on returning.
Me and my fiance love this place. With her being celiac she is limited in her options for dining out. Baha is really good about being gluten free and everyone is always so nice!
Outstanding food and vibe. Service was excellent. Lisa was our server, and gets 5 stars as well.
Full GF menu. I have Celiac, and had ZERO issues with my meal. It's the salmon photo...
We travel through Birmingham several times a year, and have decided that Seasons 52 is our spot.
I do takeout just about every week! They will bring it out to your car as well. Salad sampler and garlic chicken along with local kombucha is my favorite!!!!! All gluten free if you get rice as your option with the chicken. Just do it!
Love Wasabi Juans! My husband loves Mexican and I love sushi, so it's a perfect combination. The staff here are great. I have celiac disease and they are very accommodating with the gluten free options and very mindful. Definitely a must to visit Wasabi Juans!
We love Slice! Our favorite local pizza and beer joint. We’ve never had a pizza that disappointed. I will say, even my gluten-loving husband prefers their GF pizza crust to the regular one! (I do too). White Shadow and Hot Mama are our favorite flavors. Their salads are also amazing! (And generous which we appreciate). Got the cheesecake once and it did NOT disappoint. The wings are good but expensive - you can find more wings for less elsewhere. Can’t beat the $5 wine and draft beer happy hour though!
Went here for dinner. We were greeted and seated by a nice guy but our waiter was alright in service. Not many vegan options clearly listed. I got the Gado Gado Salad, Vegetable Roll, and Panang Curry. I asked if the Purple Sweet Potato Fries were vegan and our waiter said they come in premade so they were not vegan. I'm always skeptical of Asian restaurants because they usually do not know what Vegan is and they usually use MSG, artificial flavors, colors/dyes, preservatives, and other low quality ingredients. I've been to previous Asian restaurants and when they say it is Vegan or MSG free, it is not because they do not know what that means. It would be nice if the menu was more organized for people with dietary restrictions like vegan, gluten free, etc. The atmosphere was alright.
An amazing dining experience! Dinner with my friends while traveling for work. I had amazing oysters from PEI and the smoked fish dip is next level good. My friend got the pork belly appetizer and loved it. I am gluten intolerant and I had plenty of options and modifications were made available.
We all had fish, from Mahi to flounder and everyone was happy. Our server Jonathan was knowledgeable, helpful and attentive without being intrusive. The bar had good options and my French 75 was well balanced and tasty. Spendy,but worth the splurge. I highly recommend this place!
My husband and I came here to celebrate my birthday. We just came in for a good gluten free dessert and they had a couple of options. Jacob at the bar recommended the flourless chocolate cake. It was wonderful! Super moist and flavorful. I wasn’t planning on having a drink but Jacob recommended a chocolate martini and his version was the perfect twist on the original. I loved it! Service was great. Jacob was very personable and a great conversationalist. Can’t wait to come back for a full dinner! 😊
We have been to dozens and dozens of Indian restaurants, but this one was a stand out. The atmosphere is very modern, and decorated beautifully for the Christmas holidays. The drinks were the best surprise. There were Indian-fusion versions of classics like old fashions and cosmos. Also, the menu was very clear about which items met dietary restrictions such as daily, gluten, and peanuts. As someone who can't eat gluten, that was very welcome. The waiter was very patient and gave us time to review the extensive menu. The bartender was experimenting with some new drinks he tried on us as well. Food was top notch and service was very friendly. We'll back for sure! Probably tomorrow :-)
Billie Jo was an excellent my server and our breakfast was very good. I have celiac and must eat gluten free so I love knowing this is a place I can go and not have to worry about a reaction.
My daughter has Celiac Disease and we told our waiter that she had to have only gluten free food. We even asked if the fries were fried in a separate fryer from the breaded chicken, and he assured us that the fries were fried separately. He led us to believe that he notated the order to make sure no gluten contact could happen. She was up all night sick throwing up, so she clearly was fed gluten. The bill was $93.12 for three people, and wasn’t even that good. It is very disheartening to pay almost $100 for food then be up all night throwing up. I will definitely never return to another Cheesecake Factory and definitely encourage anyone with Celiac Disease never trust eating at one.
Repeated my order 3x as he nodded continuously like he heard me the first time but kept getting it wrong. I still got the wrong thing. Asked for crunchy tacos,pork and queso cheese with side of rice. The only thing I got right was the rice and pork. No cheese and had to take meat off the soft shells after I went up and got my cheese. I wouldn't have cared but I can't eat wheat flour. Have to try to eat gluten free due to celiac. It also wasn't good. I could have went to taco Bell and it would have been better. My granddaughters order was all messed up too. We're sweet girls and I don't like leaving a bad review but it is what it is...he also rolled his eyes as I was trying to make sure he'd gotten it right. We spent 30 bucks and left hungry.
Loved it here! Really cool vibe and they were allergen friendly. I’m gluten free and dairy free, and they were knowledgeable and accommodating. Thanks!
Great service, our large group was able to sit relatively quickly. Really good food. Burnin’ Love burger with the fried jalapeño medallions and Chipotle aioli is always a winner with me.
Everyone had different dietary restrictions, from no-sugar to gluten free to no dairy to no lots-of-things but everyone was able to eat something delicious.
This is one of my favorite spots in B'ham. As someone who's gluten free, I love the wings and Buffalo cauliflower bites. Service could be better, but it's definitely not a deterrent. You can park across the street at Avondale Park. The atmosphere is laid back and enjoyable.
The best sushi in Birmingham, hands down! Gluten free menu available.
You cannot have a bad time here!
We often put our names down and grab a cocktail down the street if there is a wait- so always makes for a fun date night!
Great to come with 4 people but have also made it with a bigger group! Tables can be accommodating for more- jusy may have to wait- will be worth it!
Food items I've purchased have been very well seasoned and good. I like the gluten free options. Very friendly staff. All my orders have been pickup so I can't give 5 stars since I haven't dined in

I got the Sante Fe salad with chipotle chicken. The dressing for the salad is good. The combination of salad ingredients was also good. My only critique here is that though the sweet potatoes were diced small, I had more than a few crunchy ones. I’m really here to review the brownie I ordered. I honestly was taking a risk on ordering a gluten free, dairy free, refined sugar free tahini brownie but it is literally the best dessert I’ve had in a long time. Decadent but not too rich. Three quarters through I started to feel sad that it was almost gone. So I put it down only to feel sad that I wasn’t still eating it. It made me want to live a long full life just so I could have the hope of eating another one someday. I’m not writing like this to be cute or clever. I must confess I actually had these thoughts while eating this brownie. ☺️
Enjoyed my gluten free grilled cheese! My son enjoyed his chicken pesto sandwich. Server was friendly and attentive. The tea was delicious and fresh. Will definitely eat here again!
I have been a loyal Red Cat customer for many years. My wife who is gluten-free has always loved the pumpkin chocolate chip muffins. Recently those gluten-free muffins have been reduced to a third of the original size that they were a month ago. But the price is the same. This is shrink-flation at its most ridiculous level. This is not fair to any of your customers, you could at least try to reduce the price a little bit.
The new gluten free bowtie noodles were great! I couldn't even tell that they were gluten free! Definitely will be getting more. Also you can substitute almost any pasta entree dish with the gluten free, so lots of good options for those who cannot eat gluten
The food was very good, and fit well into a keto diet. Service was fast and the place was clean.
They take steps to avoid gluten for those sensitive, but there are some holes in their process. Replacing a spoon in a dish that has touched glutenous food then was placed back in the dish does not remove the gluten that has already been introduced. Using a new spoon is a start, but the contaminated food in the dish must also be replaced. (They did open a new container of cheese and lettuce.)
We stopped here last night after a basketball game at BJCC. We took a chance that this would be a good place to eat. We were wrong.
It was GREAT !!!
The pulled pork was very moist and delicious. Not a shred of dryness at all and SO much flavor.
The cheese grits are to die for.
The greens were very very good. The fried green tomatoes were top notch.
Our table had 8 at it. Everyone got something different and everyone loved what they got.
Absolutely NO complaints.
The wait wasn’t long for the food. Everything was delicious and fresh. I’m from Tuscaloosa and will go up there to eat again just because it’s that good.
The service was very good.
If you’re going as a large crowd on a weekend night there isn’t much room for a large group. The dining area has booths and a few tables you can push together but those were taken when we got there.
They have a bar area with lots of stools.
It’s delicious!!! Go there!! They do not disappoint!!
Oh- I have celiac and got the grits and greens over grits and it didn’t make me ill at all. Gluten friendly!!
My business partner and I travel across the US for work and this has been hands down the tastiest, most authentic Greek cuisine we’ve had. Our server, Grace was incredible. She went above and beyond to accommodate our gluten allergies and gave excellent recommendations. We wish we could get this food back home!
The perfect evening for our 53rd anniversary. They have a varied menu with lots of emphasis on gluten free options. Service was impeccable. Easy valet parking. Wonderful evening!
