Eating in Birmingham, Alabama
Whether you’re in the mood for barbeque, fine dining or healthy fare, this Southern city has it all. Welcome to WatchMojo.com, and today we’ll be taking a look at the best places to eat in Birmingham, Alabama.
Dreamland Bar-B-Que
Birmingham is the largest city in the southern state of Alabama and as such, you’d naturally associate it with southern food. With that in mind, why not head to Birmingham’s Dreamland Bar-B-Que? With its casual down-home atmosphere, the place is famous for its service, ribs and barbecue dipping sauce.
Bottega Restaurant and Cafe
If fine dining is more your thing, then pay a visit to Bottega Restaurant and Café. You can choose between sitting in the dressier dining room or the rowdier café area. Regardless, you’ll be served up an assortment of Italian dishes that are sure to please your palette.
Outdoor Eating

Pepper Place Saturday Market
Between April and December, you can buy fresh produce every weekend in Lakeview District at the Pepper Place Saturday Market. It’s open whether the sun is shining or the rain is pouring down so feel free to peruse the dozens of tents. Here, you’ll find the best offerings from local growers, as well as ready-to-eat food. You can even buy some arts and crafts.
Magic City Art Connection
Every April, Linn Park plays host to the Magic City Art Connection, which highlights creations from artists across the country. Entertainment including music, dance and storytelling is offered, as well as interactive workshops for kids.
