Had brunch here as I was staying in the Westin. Delicious grits, smoked bacon, eggs, sausage...basically the works. Good drink ambiance at night with live band.
OH MY STARS!!!
Best experience I have had in a long while! I don't know if it was because they weren't that busy at the time, or the server we had or the hilarious amateur rap video they were filming outside, but the whole experience here was awesome! This place will now fight with The Southern as a favorite for me. I went tonight (Friday at 6:40pm) with my husband. We started out with beers I had the Bad Boys flight and be just had one. They were all delicious! We then after a while had the cheese board which was tasty. Then we ordered more drinks. I had a bloody mary and he had another beer. Both were good. We then had our entrees. I had raw oysters and he had the sliders. Both were excellent. I would compare these oysters to the ones rate the best at Wintzells. Seriously, they were that darn good. The bloody mary sauce they come with was the freaking bomb! I will most definitely be back and bring a clan of drinker with me!
Incredible dinner at Todd English P.U.B. last night. The salmon was incredible, and I loved the Spaten beer from Munich. Fantastic, friendly service.
Amy & I tried out Todd English P.U.B. for the first time today. We had the Sweet Tea Brined Fried Chicken Biscuits with a side of some of the best fried potatoes I've ever tasted & the "Small" Smoked Salmon Plate served over mixed greens, plum tomatoes & a light vinaigrette. I must say, the food was fantastic, our server was very polite & the atmosphere was right up my alley (very upscale/modern with hints of rustic & dark colors)...but the restaurant was very understaffed today & that was reflected in certain ways (although our server more than made up for that). Not counting this place out, we will definitely be back! Looks like the perfect Saturday place to enjoy their happy hour menu & drinks while cheering for a Crimson football team.😊👍
What are all the negative waves about?. My girlfriend and I had a fine time here. We ate dinner and had beer and cider to drink. Everything was good. I really enjoyed the chicken and waffles.
I had been wanting to try Todd English P.U.B. for a while. So after my brother's wedding reception last night in Birmingham, myself and friends tried it out. We all ordered small plates at the bar. Everyone was overall satisfied. Our bartenders were nice enough and attentive. They were out of raw oysters however, so I ordered the smoked wings. Overall good experience and social outing.
Bravo! For our anniversary, I selected Todd English P.U.B. Based on notoriety, menu selection and the appealing photographs on the website. (We dine in restaurants from hole-in-the-wall to fine dining - all with high culinary expectations - and this evening we wanted a low key environment with upscale amenities. That's exactly what we got.) From parking to entrance, all was well-kept and what you would expect of a restaurant nestled in a prime location by the Westin and convention center. We were greeted in the open and moderately lit pub with a warm smile/friendly hostess and led to our table. Kyler was our server and he was well-versed in the menu. This, I learned, was due to being employed there since opening. This was expected, but he added a friendly, upbeat, suggestive yet non-pushy approach. He displayed a professional recovery on a momentary item delivery delay. Great service!
The tuna tartare, seafood beignets, steak, Brie and bacon sandwich, fish and chips and bread pudding were all well prepared and presented. Flavor and attention to detail reigned. For example, the steak edges were easily cut and succulent, beignet corn garnish was exceptionally fresh (and complimented nearly everything on the table) , the fries were crisp, tasty and the adult portion was slightly saltier than the child's portion. My personal favorites were both of the appetizers which complimented the meal. All was cooked as we requested and thoroughly enjoyable. Add to that the focal-point of an enthusiastically well-stocked bar with both local and national favorites...great environment and easy to recommend.
We pay a lot of attention to detail and so too does Todd English and his Birmingham staff. We'll raise our glasses in toast the next time we visit...and that will be soon.
Todd English PUB is great!. I took a friend here last night. I had been there before, but only for drinks. I was pleasantly surprised by the food. Our server Jason recommended the Lobster rolls and that was definitely a great choice. The drink menu is unbelievable. They even have Trappist Monk beers! Can't wait to go back....
LIKES IT - Great Food and Atmosphere!!!!. It was a great experience overall. Although a bit pricey, I felt that the food made up for it. The atmosphere was amazing for the artsy type, especially with the great background noise of a live band. Ultimately, for me, it was the pleasant surprise of their macaroni and cheese. It has to be arguably some of the best tasting mac n cheese I have tasted. I like it.
Great Lobster Cobb, Weird 16% "tax". July 25, 2013, 5:30P. The Lobster Cobb Salad was as good as one could ask for, better than expected. Beautiful presentation. The bowl was centered with the lobster & it was surrounded by ingredients banked in groups or sections and a deft touch of a delicious refreshing aioli sauce. Nice is an insufficient comment.
The idea is to plunge the fork into the lobster then go to any of the various sections of ingredients arranged around the side. Thus each successive bite can produce varying taste combinations. A delightful exploration for the senses.
And this was our second choice, our first being the Maine Lobster Roll. Our excellent server, Jason, sadly reported that the kitchen had run out of the chef's choice of bread roll due to a "big party last night." Hmmmm? Someone asleep at the pantry?....with all day to get a fresh supply from the source, "a Mountain Brook bakery," sez Jason. "Which one, Jason?" Oh, well. We suspect it's located in English Village.
To the chef's credit, we two were offered (gratis) a trial taste of a single lobster roll using a different bread product, with the chef's caveat that it is not the one preferred but "try it and see what y'all think." And we did. And we passed. But will return upon assurance -- in advance -- that the bread bin has been refilled.
Now to the weird billing, the "Fee in lieu of tax" enigma. Jason 'splained that it's a City thingy having to do with a fee assessed instead of a tax. OK. I checked item one on the ticket and it was at 10% (one $18 Cobb Salad plus $1.80 fee; total $19.80 ).
My error. Later, at home, I checked the other two listings: One was for two cocktails & 1 Cobb Salad ($36) plus the fee of $5.76. Yikes! 16% fee? Que pasa?
The third and final breakdown was for 2 more drinks at $36 plus the fee, which now was $3.96 -- Double yikes plus an ouch! That was a 22% "fee."
So for 4 drinks($36) & 2 Cobb Salads$36). a total of $72. And the weird fee of $11.52 adds up to an overall 16% tax....errah, "FEE. (What other word in the past tense begins with an "F"?).
So we'll give 'em one more shot at the Lobster Roll, which in Maine is absolutely to kill for.
To end on a nicer note, two glasses of Prosecco were gratis. Thanks to Jason & mebbe the kitchen person. (p'raps he was asleep then, too?).
