Bama Burgers 2 — Restaurant in Pelham

I mentioned this restaurant this morning to a friend, and although he implored me not to go, I went anyway.

The photos made it look super dicey, but I never shy away from a dive, provided the food's good. The ratings were pretty high, so I figured I'd give it a go because I'll try any place once. This will be a "one and done."

First off, driving into the parking lot, it's clear no one's upkept it in years. There are potholes riddling the lot, so proceed with caution. When I walked in, it was apparent the lady who greeted me was hard of hearing and I don't know sign language. This language barrier proved to be an issue when I ordered the mushroom bacon burger and was brought just a bacon cheeseburger.

The other brunette woman was super catty and rude when she addressed not only 6 another group of new customers. You could tell it's one of those "if you're not a blue collar regular, we don't want your kind" of restaurants. Coincidentally, the next couple of good ol boys in overalls came in and were treated like royalty.

The burger wasn't at all terrible. The cheesy fries were just smothered in Velveeta and paprika, but they, too, were decent. The whole meal cost $12, so it wasn't a bad price. However, the whole place was an absolute nightmare (all the tables were still dirty and sticky when they said to find a seat). Even as I was checking out quick, fast, and in a hurry, I looked frantically for the health inspection score, and I find it convenient that it was nowhere to be found. If I'm not mistaken, it's required to be in plain sight for patrons.

Needless to say, it was about the train wreck my friend warned me it would be....

I’d never been to bama burgers 2 before but tried them today.i was craving a hamburger and called at about 9:45 to see if they were serving burgers. She said at 10 so I waited and I’m glad I did , I figured the meat was small like Burger King and McDonald’s so I got a double cheese burger. I told them to cook it medium with a little pink so it would be juicy. Man. They cooked it perfectly. The meat was thicker than I thought and I couldn’t eat it all. Everything was loaded on the burger. Plenty of lettuce tomatoes pickles. The meat was a high quality and flavorful. One of the best burgers I’ve had in years. Also the crinkle cut fries were great , When I go back I’m going to try the breakfast and meats and vegetables. I got my wife a piece of cake with pink icing and it had real cherry pieces inside. Amazingly good. Great service. All of the girls were real friendly. I can’t wait to go back, today I got a meat and 3. The gravy is so good. Mashed potatoes smooth and good fried okra crispy not mushy. Flavorful green beans. Hamburger steak tender and flavorful with...

Ordered a double bacon cheeseburger and chili cheese fries. The chili and cheese was disgusting. it was canned hot dog chili and baseball game type nacho cheese. i watched the cook get a bun out of a publix brand 6 pack of buns, the bacon was good, the burger was cooked well. if i went to a friends house to tailgate and he served me this burger, i would be delighted. A restaurant that claims its fame from hamburgers, should not serve a burger of this quality. this is a backyard cookout grill hamburger, BIRDS N BURGERS is 100 times better than this place. spend your...
