Michael's Restaurant

It’s Revu-a-holic Time: So, my close coworkers and friends decided to do a going away dinner.
It was for a dear friend who was moving back home.
She is such a sweet soul.
The choice made was Michael’s 🍽️. I did visit this establishment some years back.
I remember the location in Homewood, Alabama.
The food was good then and still good now. The owner of this establishment really does know how to cater fine dining in an affordable way.
Quality southern dishes is the niche that keeps this business operating. The spinach dip with the bread is delicious.
Did I mention? I almost forgot to take pictures of the food because I wanted to start grubbing.
Some dishes did make it to our stomachs before I got to film.
Though, I did have the opportunity to show you some of the mouth watery dishes.
Pros, cons and pictures below. Pros: Hostess/Cashier professional and knowledgeable Clean tables Clean restroom Meals served promptly at appropriate temperature Meals are fashionable, fresh, and tasteful Theme aligns with ambiance Menu is legible and presentable Music aligns with theme.
It’s not too loud and not too low. Server was polite Variety of beverages Welcoming environment Sumptuous meal prices Spacious seating areas Indoor and outdoor seating Handicap accessible Dine in and carryout available Only (1) locations I know about Cons: No parking accommodations.
It is public parking two corners down.
Birmingham metro area has high traffic.

This was my 1st and last time eating here.
I and my husband came in thinking it's beautiful in here and looked well organized.
Fast forward, we ordered water and I asked for a straw and it took 10 minutes to get that.
We were not asked if we wanted an appetizer.
The Lamb chops are good but definitely not worth $52.00.
Once food was out, I asked for water 3 times and no lie I did not get it, til I was about to go.
They are charging u a tip upfront Knowing they are not going to give u good service.
The service sucks.
They don't keep your drinks filled nor do they check on you.
The lady with the earring hook in her nose has awful service.
I guess her name is Danestris? I can say they checked on us 1 time and that's out of 1 hour.
They need some quality people working there.
The POINT is, whether they give bad or awful service, they're saying, we're still getting PAID.
Michael's Restaurant service sucks! Please DONT GO THERE!

We dined for Mothers Day Brunch.
The food took an hour to come out.
Kids were antsy and irritable as a result.
I ordered the salmon Rockefeller “stuffed” which is an additional $18 .
There was literally a smear of stuffing inside the salmon.
Laughable for an additional $18.
When I questioned the food taking so long, I was advised that no one else in the restaurant got their food stuffed and that’s why it took so long and they were able to eat and leave after us.
I simply think they forgot to put the order in or pull the ticket.
The manager was kind and offered half off or she could take my plate and order something else but I just didn’t want to risk waiting an additional hour.
Lastly, the fried potatoes are simply cubed breakfast potatoes, no seasoning.
The spinach dip was really good
