Best of Birmingham Food - East Side Lunch Tour

Overview

This 3 to 4 hour lunch tour covers some of our most iconic lunch spots on the East side of the city. From the Irondale Café with its famous Fried Green Tomatoes to The Peanut Depot on historic Morris Avenue. We eat our way through fried chicken, BBQ, and mac n cheese. Grits, greens, and gravy are staples in a Birmingham lunch and we go to places that have them. James Beard award places to ancient hole in the wall spots you probably have never heard of. There are no big chains and pretty much everything you eat on these tours is iconic, freshly made with love, and uniquely Birmingham.

Due to the volatility of restaurants at the moment, we cannot absolutely guarantee any given restaurant on our tour will be open, but we have so many places to choose from, we can guarantee a lunch that will leave you stuffed with some of the most delicious food you can put in your mouth.

What To Expect

Alabama Peanut Company

A totally unique business in Birmingham - peanuts roasted in 100+ year old gas fired roasters and boiled peanuts with flavors you are guaranteed not to find anywhere else

Irondale

We will be going to the famous Irondale Café - home of the real Fried Green Tomatoes - as in the book and movie. Where, of course, we try the tomatoes and other Southern lunch deliciousness...and pie...don't forget the pie!

Birmingham

When we leave the Irondale Café, we will be traveling back toward the city and stopping at Saw's Soul Kitchen for their signature Pork and Greens, then on to Sammy's Sandwich Shop to sample what is arguably the best cheeseburger you will ever have (and get to see the antics of the husband and wife team that have run the place for 56 years)...then on to Gus's Hotdogs to try the last old school Birmingham hotdog stand left in the city.
