FIVE Birmingham

Great place! Staff is friendly and welcoming. The food is great and how about the Bloody Mary Bar??? Hah! They have a build your own BM Bar… first I’ve ever seen. Check out my pics. It’s a must have for breakfast and the bar it’s self is a beautiful bar. Awesome place for sure.

The food was amazing and cooked to perfection! The live band was a vibe. 9/10 I would recommend. The only reason I gave this place a 4/5 is because the customer service wasn’t up to par. The server was great; however, the hostess attitude suck! I will definitely visit the place again.

Fabulous meal! To start we had the lamb small plate (see pic) and then moved on to the fried oysters with arugula. Both were superb. Great flavor profiles. For our main we had the smoked chicken with white sauce. The meat was so tender and it was topped with a delicious white sauce with just enough bite. We rarely order chicken out, but so glad we did. Look forward to our next visit!

FIVE is always a treat. The jalapeño pineapple 🍍 drink was tasty as ever. My chicken and waffles 🧇 were delicious. The guy bringing the live performance was a treat. I love the vibe in this spot.

We decided to give Five a try for Sunday brunch with our picky 14 yo, and we were not disappointed. We arrived around 12:30, but only waited about 30m to be seated. We got caramel apple beignets to start, with a DIY Bloody Mary & pineapple mimosa for the adults. The beignets were delicious and both drinks were good. I got the shrimp & grits, which were well seasoned and creamy. My wife ordered the chicken & waffles - really tasty - and the kid got the breakfast cheeseburger, which he devoured with gusto. The interior of the place is an interesting hodge-podge of pictures & memorabilia with local-ish associations. There was a pleasant jazzy duo performing in the corner, loud enough to enjoy without overpowering the room. Service was a bit slow, but that's understandable at such a busy time. We'll definitely return to try dinner soon.

This was our first time going there we wanted brunch so we gave them a try oh what a wonderful place to visit the staff was so nice and friendly from start to finish service was amazing and the food was so tasty the chicken and waffles melt in your mouth the mimosas were delicious I drank it all before I could get a good picture I will visit next time I’m in town and you should to

We came for a late Sunday dinner. We had the ribeyes with mac and cheese and mashed potatoes. The mac and cheese was in my favorite. My boyfriend's ribeye was cooked perfectly to medium. Mine wasn't more on the well side but I ordered medium. Our server was so nice, he took great care of us and made sure we were good.

Took my daughter's here for Sunday brunch. Service was amazing and good was the same. 5 stars

Chicken ‘N’ Waffles | FIVE Burrito

Starting with parking, we had to park around the restaurant, which was no big deal. Location makes it a little difficult to find parking, but it was not too bad, on a Saturday morning. The interior of the restaurant was clean, the design and seating was a little different from other places, but different is not always a bad thing. The setting of the restaurant was suited for this place. We were greeted with good gestures and kindness, and got a table for 2. We were given a small corner table, which was nothing bad but just was hoping for a bigger table, since we were so up against the wall and the table was just tiny, which ended up making eating a little difficult later on. The atmosphere was good, with a lot of chatting and talking going on around us.

We got a waiter instantly and asked us how we were and what we would like to drink. My partner got a glass of OJ and we stuck with water. The menu and the idea of the menu goes with the name of the place, FIVE. There are only five items to choose from, with what seems like two appetizers on top corner of the menu to order from. The idea and simplicity of this is actually very great to see, because a simple menu usually means banger food. I ended up going with the FIVE breakfast burrito, and my partner, with the Chicken ‘N’ Waffles. The food arrived after about a 15 minute wait. Again, waiting on food is not a deal breaker or a bad sign, it is just if there are 5 things on the menu, you would expect it a little quicker, but it was a busy Saturday morning and the long wait was not an issue at all.

The FIVE breakfast burrito came with hashbrowns. The presentation was beautiful. I am not a big fan of breakfast burritos, but I seemed to be craving one this morning. But this one was good. It was covered with queso and salsa, and the eggs, sausage, and the chorizo all had a good taste and flavor to it. If you do like breakfast burritos, I am sure you would love this one. Again, I am not the biggest fan of them, but this one I did genuinely enjoy. I was excited for the hashbrowns, but unfortunately they were mostly burned. I don’t mind crispy potatoes, but these definitely were burnt around and had the burnt taste to them, but they were still edible. Enjoyable? Maybe not, but they were not bad for what it was.

Chicken ‘N’ Waffles. My partner went with the tender fried chicken, which was a $2 extra charge. The presentation and plating of this was also beautiful. A beautiful waffle with powdered sugar, fried chicken tenders, and a side of maple syrup. I took a few bites of this, with the chicken tasting good, but nothing to go crazy about. But the waffle? That was one of the GREATEST waffles I have ever had the privilege of tasting in my life. I love waffles, and I have had plenty, but the waffle here at FIVE was one of the best tasting I have had in my life.

Overall, was a good brunch place. Did not try any drinks so we can’t speak on that, but the food overall was good and okay, but the waffle is literally top tier.

Delicious,came in around 11am on a Sunday,told us it will be await for 45 mins for two,they called us back within 20.Food was delicious,vibe was great w/a live band playing the waffle is real sweet and buttery We got the chicken and waffles to share because we seen how big it was,and I just got a side of eggs.Our waiter was great just good vibes.will be back to try the shrimp and grits,and the drinks when I'm not pregnant 😁. Definitely a place to take your people when they come into town.
