It is a unique concept to bring back high school cafeteria memories.
The prices are reasonable with many side dash choices.
The taste isn't too bad.
This place gets really packed during lunch hours.
The line moves very fast, so know your orders ahead.
The meat+3 is more than enough for lunch because the portion is big.
Big parking lot, so no worries, looking for a spot during rush hours.

I was born and raised right on the Northside of Birmingham and had never been to Niki's West.
I'd heard about how great the food was and so many positives.
So, I had it on my bucket list to try it.
I ordered steak, corn, and cabbage.
And I wasn't disappointed.
My son enjoyed his meal as well.
And the place was huge.
So, don't let a full parking lot deter you from stopping.
There is plenty of room to accommodate.

Food-wise this place knocks it outta the park Southern Style and really satisfies (meat and 3? I wanted about 17 of the sides!!).
Iconic and recommended, food for everybody and all types dining there (laborers, businessmen, retirees...all here with good reason).
Actual dining is a RUSHED experience though, even after prime lunch hours: machine-gun choices lobbed at you, hurried to your table, and be careful using the restroom--you might come back to a bussed & cleaned table!.
Meat+3 w/dessert/drink=$24.
Nice to see management assisting elderly customers by taking their trays for them.
Ample free parking.
Large cafeteria seating area.
Catfish in Fridays.
Would def come back and bring others.
Place could prob stand to reinvest and spruce up interior some if possible to not compromise its old timey feel.
