Dale's Southern Grill, Birmingham

Ate there on Saturday night, pretty busy but we were seated in 15min, no problem. The waitress was awesome, kept the drinks and food coming without making us feel like she was intrusive, great smile. The food was wonderful, the portions and price were very reasonable. At the worst, the fried okra needed some salt, but it that's the only complaint I'll be going back over and over again. Lucky for me it's on my side of town!!! Treat yourself to the multitude of dishes, I don't think you'll be sorry!

My wife and I have eaten at Dale's a number of times, and I'd give it high praise -- both the Riverchase and the Vestavia Hills locations. The food is outstanding, especially for the modest-to-moderate prices, and the service is always good. The atmosphere is not a major selling point here, as the establishments are one step up from a cafeteria...okay, two steps. Still, there's just not much to complain about. I could easily recommend any of a dozen entrees without fear of contradiction, and their vegetables and breads are excellent, and the variety offered is almost mind-boggling. If you can't find something tempting on the menu, you simply aren't hungry! A great choice for good food in unpretentious surroundings; and excellent place for families or guests -- in fact, this is a great place to take guests who need an introduction to classic Southern cooking.
