    You guys did an amazing job catering my brother's wedding reception last nite at the Federal Reserve. That was the best catered experience I've had in a long time! The food selection was spot on and absolutely delicious!! Thank you!!

    Living in Birmingham for the past 10 years I've come here a number of times, and I'm being honest when I say that every meal I have had here has been mediocre- sub par at best. The food is bland. Plain and simple. I don’t mind simple hearty food. I love it in fact, but this place has failed to execute every single time, and I’ve tried salads, plates, wraps, and sandwiches. It’s not difficult to season and cook veggies, or put together a flavorful sauce with a few ingredients. On my most recent experience I had broccoli salad, which was inedible. Unfortunate because I don’t even mind plain raw broccoli, but they somehow managed to ruin it. Basically raw broccoli with some grapes and barely there sauce that failed to tie the dish together. Next was the chicken salad sandwich...the chicken salad is basically a paste and the bread was plain un toasted sandwich bread. For the price and reputation, I expected a lot more, like some pecans & grapes or something in there. You could literally get the same thing at a gas station or school cafeteria. Do yourself a favor and cook at home, I guarantee it'll be healthier and taste better than eating here. 1 extra star bc orange rolls, even though they are just frozen heat & serve, but at least they have a bit of flavor.

    They try to help with dietary limitations. Their food is real and interesting and did I say real? So good and good for me :)

    Friendly and consistently excellent food. My go to for lunch is the local mix salad add smoked turkey. Also my go to for having lunch catered in for meetings at the office. Highly recommend!

    Sounds like a cliche, but good food at reasonable price. I feel like I am enjoying well prepared food every time I eat there. If you have not eaten here, you should try it.
