Apple Dumpling — Restaurant in Birmingham

Went there today to check it out and support, the restaurant is clean the staff has on uniform which i like and there are plenty food options. The staff was not to much friendly no smiles. I ordered the ox tail plate with greens in Candied yams and cornbread muffins. The yams had plenty of nutmeg, but no sugar or butter. It was not sweet the oxtails were full of fat and not seasoned yet greasy. The oxtails looked like beef stew and rice. The greens although they were fresh did not have an ounce of seasoning. No flavor. Taste like it was cooked in water. I’m a cook myself and there was no meat in the greens. no seasoning, no broth juice, greens, and onions. The cornbread muffins tasted like water in cornmeal. The lemonade was great very sweet! For my second plate we had fried chicken it was not fresh, just sitting under a lamp, the macaroni and cheese was creamy cheesy cheesy just had no seasoning no flavor this food would be really good for a diabetic patient someone who cannot have salt or seasoning. The bottom line is there was no flavor no soulfood dinner was not reminiscent of southern cuisine. for the taste it was...

I've eaten here even before they moved from their Homewood location in the Palisades. I prefer breakfast here over lunch/dinner. Nothing wrong with the latter; it's just my preference. They offer a hot bar where you order from items that are hot and ready for you. I like their salmon patties and rice. The breakfast potatoes are also a favorite. The ladies are always friendly. I've stopped several times on my way to work and bought food for my teammates and they have been very accommodating with the large order. The price is very reasonable and I always enjoy my breakfast. The dinner menu is decent but I can get better soul food and desserts elsewhere. During the pandemic, they stopped customers from sitting inside to eat and I'm not sure if they have started back yet. I usually take my food to go. Overall, it's a good place to eat with fair prices and friendly staff. While I prefer breakfast, lunch and dinner are worth checking...

Just passing through on my way to Orlando and OMG there is NOTHING negative to say about this place.

Customer service was the nicest I’ve ever experienced! The food was phenomenal, I got the 1 meat, 2 side combo with a dessert. I opted for fried chicken (the price I got was HUGE!) I got collards and Mac and cheese and finished with the banana pudding and each of these had its own special splash of flavor!

By far the best meal I’ve had in months! HIGHLY recommend this place if you’re in the Birmingham area! The literal “hole in the wall with the best food” is right here!

Thank you to the staff for this amazing service and...
