Review The Ridge - Birmingham

HIGHLY RECOMMEND this spot for brunch. They offer a wide variety of delicious dishes, from brunch to dinner. They provide the greatest options to choose from for reasonable prices. Their mimosa and Bloody Mary were on point. Will be returning for lunch/dinner.

Looks like a dive bar when you walk in, but wow!! That was some of the best bar food I’ve had in awhile. Waitress was awesome, attentive, and gave some great recommendations. Fried pimento cheese balls were 🔥and served with really good homemade ranch dressing. The Spicy Cahaba was juicy, cooked to order and really tasty. Waitress surprised me with onion rings that I wouldn’t have ordered myself but complimented the burger perfectly. They were also juicy and crispy all at the same time. The Jamm Gouda burger was also juicy and flavorful. Collard greens were on point and didn’t need anything additional. Didn’t taste like canned, so you had us fooled if they were. The kids enjoyed their tots and mini corn dogs. Good whiskey selection, and the beer was cold and fresh. Overall a great experience even though they looked slammed when we first went in. Was surprised with the quickness of everything given how busy they were.

Great place to eat with friends, great atmosphere, great staff and delicious food. They even separated the fried cookie dough for use to share.

I'm not going to waste our time writing fancy words. Our first visit here was fantastic. The Rebel Yell cheeseburger was phenomenal (but be smarter than me and just get the single). Wife had some awesome Cajun pasta. We'll be back soon. Oh and our server, Naomi, was the best!

Small eatery set in the upstairs of a strip mall, they provide decent friendly service, and really good food. We had fried pickles, which did not disappoint. I ordered a salad, which came with a heaping helping of chicken and fries on top of it. My girlfriend ordered a burger with sweet potato fries, The burger was so massive she could only eat half of it. Would definitely come back here again.

We had burgers, fries, tots and rings. It was all delicious. Our waiter was Smo. She was fantastic!!! I highly recommend this place for tasty tavern bites and great service.

I've eaten at The Ridge three times now. Each time, the food has been so good!! The collard greens are my FAVORITE! I can't wait to go back!

My wife and I love this hidden gem! By hidden, I mean you really have to know where it is to find it but it sure is worth it. The beer selection is dynamic and thorough. The menu is comprehensive but we come for the burgers and fried pickles. Now, let's not forget the fried pickles. I have had many fried pickles from around Alabama and these are by far the best! A very tasty and crunchy corn meal batter but they don't sacrifice batter for the pickle taste. The ratio is perfect. And, the awesome white dipping sauce is killer! My favorite burger is the Jamn Gouda Burger. It is on a super soft and well-grilled/toasted bun. The meat is charred just enough on the outside edge and juicy in the middle for my medium well taste. This patty must be handmade. The shredded gouda was sprinkled on along with all the regular fixings. The bacon jam is what makes this unique burger stand out. The bacon pieces are thick and the jam is flavorful. I chose tots over the shoestring fries. An overall great experience. My only critique is for our server. She said she was new and she did a good job. However, if you don't know about something (we asked about a specific beer my wife likes) please ask someone who may know a bit more. She just said 'I don't know because I am new and learning'. Other than that, all of our food was out to us promptly and the refills were plentiful. I highly recommend The Ridge!
