Tavern On The Summit

One of my favorite restaurant. The Tavern on the Summit is one of our favorite places for special occasions. I wouldn't go there to have a hamburger just like I wouldn't go to a Mexican restaurant for Chinese cuisine. The Eggs Benedict is great, there steaks have never been disappointing. The service has been fine and it's certainly worth price for a great dinner out or, better yet, their Sunday brunch. But, hamburgers? No, Johnny Rockets is the best! And the prices are what you would expect to pay for a great hamburger!…

TAVERN ON THE SUMMIT. I was in the mood for a good burger and fries, well how can you mess up a burger.. It happened Saturday night. Not once but twice I asked for a burger without mayo and onions well the first time it was raw so i sent it back well the second time it had mayo and onions on it. So needless to say I wont be going back.…

Eat here at least once a week. The Tavern On The Summit is one of our favorite restaurants. I noticed zosoboy gave the impression that the chicken fingers were frozed and nothing was fresh. That is not so...The chicken dishes, especially the chicken finger plate or basket (served with their prepared from scratch honey mustard) is the best in Birmingham. It is prepared from fresh brined chicken, brined daily. NO FROZEN CHICKEN FINGERS LIKE MOST RESTAURANTS! Also, on their lunch menu (served until 4 pm) they have a Chicken Salad Club made from their fresh chicken - which again is the best in Birmingham. I normally am not a big chicken eater, but most of the time I order this dish.

Also, their hamburgers are prepared from fresh ground meat (not "ground beef" that is purchased from the store) and really are better than most.

I used to only get the Hamburgers until someone said you have to try their Chicken Salad Club...now I am hooked.

I do like bread served before the meal and wish The Tavern on the Summit did serve bread before the the meal, but they don't.

If you are a hot tea drinker do not expect more than 2 cups of tea without being charged for another tea. This, I think is more dependent on who you get as a waiter. I had to tell one of the waiters I would not pay AGAIN for another cup of Hot Tea after having 2 cups and talked to the manager on duty and the second charge was removed...BUT...THE FOOD IS SO GOOD I WILL NOT STOP EATING THERE FOR THIS ONE MISTAKE!

As far as prices...the quality of their food for the price they charge is not bad. Most lunches are under $10 and I am a BIG man and have NEVER left this restaruant hungry. I do know their baked potatos are not as large as I would like, but if you order fries you get PLENTY!

If you are going to this NICE restaruant to try and pick up girls...you are going for the wrong reason. If you want to go to a sleazy bar...this is NOT the place for that...there are many sleazy bars in Birmingham to choose from.…

the worst place i have ever eaten. This is the worst value ever. Its great if you like to be ignored , spoke to in a condescending manner, and like to spend alot of money for chicken fingers frozen fries . Nothing is fresh and they even have the gale to say the cobbler is fresh but in reality its a frozen grocery store brand. The owner speaks to you as if you work for him which if you are ever employed by these people you will be treated very badly so im told. All in all i wil tell everyone i see that this place i a big rip off.…
