Ga Briella's Restaurant — Restaurant in Birmingham

Came by on a Sunday.. the inside where you order your food is very small, hot, and cramped. Anyways, I can’t remember if a menu was posted inside but I didn’t know what was on the menu until I got in front of the hot bar to look. Speaking of hot bar, I got my food to go and ate some of it in the car and it was more so lukewarm not actually hot, which was disappointing. Service was slow, it could’ve been because people were ordering multiple plates per order but the line didn’t move fast at all. I had to move every time the door was open until a few people ahead of me moved along, again really cramped inside but hey, as a small business you have to get what you can afford, it is what it is. I got baked chicken which came with two sides and a 3 veggie plate and my total was about $29.00. Mac and Cheese was an absolute no, it was watery and smelled funny and it just didn’t taste good. Baked chicken was good and so was the dressing and yams. Broccoli and cheese casserole was just okay; Didn’t care for the type of rice used and wished the broccoli was cut up. The lady that fixed my food was nice. Cashier didn’t seem like she wanted to be there lol. I had two plates, asked for silverware, and she gave me one packet ?? Overall...

This review is gonna be short and sweet. Treat yourself to Gabriella's ASAP! This is what the south is all about... Amazing soul food done right. I have no clue why this place isn't mentioned in the convo of soul food restaurants in bham. The other places are good, but Gabriella's is great. There's no reason you should leave here disappointed.

Self serve buffet and dining areas feel snug but not a deal breaker at all. Now that it's warm season, there's quite a bit of outdoor seating as well. You'll find 3 or 4 different meats, not to mention what's at the carving station. There's a plethora of veggies to enjoy as well as a table full of desserts to feast on as well. For takeout, you can do a meat + 2 or a meat + 3. For dining in you have to do the $18 all you can eat and it's so worth it. This includes of course as many plates, drinks and desserts as you want.

I've only been here twice but since the most recent visit, this place will definitely be added to the rotation. It was a great reminder on what we've been missing out on. Don't you miss out... Get on over to...

This was a very bad experience for me. I'm on a Walker. there was no way for me to get to the counter to fix my plate so my plate was fixed for me and they said if you get another plate you would have to pay for it . It was so congested and you would have to reach over food to get what you wanted. This place is too small and to Me very unsanitary because when you walk in the door you are met with food . Board of health should take a look at that place.It is too crowded and congested and a fire hazard. The food that I had was greens and little dressing And a pork chop. Someone had to fix my plate for me and that's why I need to have another to go back and get some food because they were trying to carry two and it was so crowded that they couldn't move around Taste of the...
