The biscuits were handmade and delicious. Fluffy inside firm on the outside. Tomato gravy was the best I’ve had other than my mom’s. The sausage patties were very tasty. Perfect all around meal and a great price. Also they have gluten free bread!

Five Guys is my teenager's favorite, and as one worth celiac disease, I appreciate their gluten sensitive handling when requested.

Fine to eat in, great as takeout/leftovers. I have to eat gluten free, and they were happy to make me an enormous burrito bowl that was an excellent dinner, plus worked as leftovers in my hotel for the next couple days. They even included a giant bag of chips for me to take home!

Such a cute coffee shop with good coffee and really good food. Had good gluten free options as well! Staff was really nice and place was fairly busy. Definitely enjoyed this stop.

Mr. Chen's is not only a great place for dinner or lunch, but it also has a fantastic supermarket attached to the restaurant. Our favorites are the Singapore Noodles and Cumin Lamb (both gluten-free which is a plus!). Highly recommend!

I made my decision to hire Happy Catering to provide dinner for one night of a 2.5 day conference partly based on reviews, so I feel it may be helpful to others to read a balanced review. My initial interactions with the team at Happy Catering were great - they were the most prompt of any Birmingham-area caterer to respond, telephoned me to learn of our conference's character, and quickly provided a quote that represented what we'd discussed. The challenges began when I shared a list of our attendee's dietary restrictions with our "Happiness Consultant" and asked for recommendations on how to meet these needs. Admittedly, almost 30% of attendees had some sort of need - vegetarian, pescatarian, gluten free, dairy free, etc, but I don't think that is wholly uncommon these days. I was open to an overhaul of the original menu, modifying dishes, purchasing individual meals for those with significant restrictions, etc, and asked for the team's expertise and guidance in how to best proceed. This proved to be wildly difficult and complicated. Which surprised me, as our other two caterers for other aspects of the conference had no issue making adjustments. Ultimately, a manager got involved, and we were finally able to adjust the menu to meet the needs of guests just a few days before the conference. The morning of, I received a call from a member of the Happy Catering staff asking how I wanted one of the items - the butternut squash mac and cheese - to be prepared. I'm still confused by the reason for this call, which came in the middle of running a conference, so not at all convenient. This wasn't a menu item I requested specially, it was recommended, so it wasn't my recipe. At the event, the venue manager coordinated set-up and I arrived with our attendees. Our banquet manager never introduced herself, nor did I see her tending the buffet (two men were, so it wasn't unattended, and they were very kind). The first time I saw her was when I asked for her so I could provide payment. The men who had actively been present had to themselves locate her 15 minutes later. The food was at best unremarkable, at worst unappetizing. I am one of those vegetarians, and couldn't bring myself to eat the stuffed bell pepper that was my option. Our guest with a significant dietary restriction did not receive her custom meal until after she had already eaten a granola bar she'd brought for herself. The "happy punch" was a brilliant, neon pink, and was not an appropriate recommendation for 50 adults. It was barely touched. Luckily, the food throughout the rest of our conference was outstanding, so this was a blip on the radar of our attendees. Had it been a signature event meal, it would have been an embarrassment. The cost was higher than another evening buffet meal at one of the Birmingham area's premier restaurants, so it is hard to understand. No one from Happy Catering has reached out to request feedback, express appreciation, etc. Not being from Birmingham, I have not worked with all the area's caterers, but of our three Happy Catering is the only one I was at all disappointed with.

Didn't realize they had moved from the corner in Homewood. Love the new location. Bigger is definitely better in their case. Food is still good. I was accompanied by a person who could not have gluten. The staff was very accommodating and took 20 mins to help my friend put together something she could eat. They even made her chicken fresh from the fridge since all of the chicken they had ready had been marinated in something she could not have

Olivia was our waitress, she really was above and beyond. Food was incredible, they were out of the porkchop but my hubby just ordered the pesto pasta like i did. Our friends got the grilled cheese and tomato soup along with the southern fried chicken plate- again both of theirs outstanding. They also ordered the blueberry bread pudding and gluten free brownie- no surprise here, ALSO fantastic!! Also we got the cheese dip appetizer, mouth watering good. I literally am going to have to travel to Bham as much as i can just to eat here!! (Im in hsv) but yes, just go. Its nearly impossible to have a bad experience here. Im so happy this exists! 🙏🏼💖 PS! HOW DID I FORGET. They have a swedish pear 🍐 cider- short story we had 3. Beyond good.

Really delicious blends of coffee. The staff is delightful and does a fantastic job! The gluten-free cookie I had was tasty as well, and the outdoor seating area is so comfortable and relaxing. I will absolutely be coming back!
