This Chinese restaurant is in a strip mall along Highway 280, on the edge of Hoover. Don't let the unfortunate location fool you. Inside, you will find the decor sumptuous, the food outstanding and the service excellent. Start with dumplings as an appetizer, and savor them while you wait for the Whole Schezuan Fish (30 minutes preparation time required). If you're dining alone, try the Mongolian Beef or the Moo Shu Chicken. A fully stocked bar is available, as well as private dining rooms for lunch meetings.

Since their opening they have received several accolades and the cafe is an ideal place to drop by enjoy a quick snack with your friends, or meet someone for business, or simply sit down with your laptop and use their free WiFi while you enjoy their baked treats.
At Fife's the ambience is familial, no frills and friendly. The kitchen serves simple soul food, from chicken fried steak and dried Lima beans to pork chops and even broiled chicken livers. There is a different special every day, but since the dishes rotate you are bound to see Trout Almondine once again during the week. Fife's has been around since 1956, and though the original Fife no longer runs it, the menu and decor has not changed much, it still serves simple comfort food.
With locations all around the Southern U.S. Newk's is a chain restaurant that serves American comfort food at a great price. The menu features sandwiches, soups, salads, pizzas, desserts and a section for the little ones that includes a delicious mac n' cheese. Since it is a franchise operation, menus will vary, however one thing is certain, the salad and sandwich pairings are excellent.
With just this location and another in Las Vegas, celebrity chef Todd English presents a mishmash of dishes that range from classic sliders and chicken wings to lobster rolls and Ahi tuna wontons. One look at the menu and you will see many familiar items like fish & chips, French dips, Reuben sandwiches and burgers, but chef Todd amplifies them with his own particular flair. Just as with his location in Vegas, this space exudes modern elegance with a tinge of nostalgia in the tin ceilings and open bay window seating, and it is far more convivial than pretentious.
Pies & Pints serves superb suds and perfect pizzas, a pub/restaurant in which everybody will find a favorite on the menu. The pints include selections from all over the country in a variety of styles, from IPAs to Lagers, and once you see the beer menu, it will take you a while to peruse through the mind-boggling amount of pints. The kitchen makes its own dough and the ovens bake pies of all types as well, from create-your-own to their specialty pizza, the ingredients come as you like. Some of the specialty pies are a little wacky, but delicious nonetheless. Try the Sriracha Shrimp, the Grape & Gorgonzola or the Cuban Pork for a change from the ordinary.
