Another month has come to a close in Birmingham, so we’re reminiscing on all the best food in Birmingham we tried in August. Here are six of the tastiest things the Bham Now team ate this month, from chicken and waffles to plenty of pizza.
1. Margherita pizza from Post Office Pies
“I don’t really know what to say about it besides it was really good. It wasn’t too cheesy (which I like), and the cherry tomatoes were fresh. That pizza combined with the strawberry lemonade is chef’s kiss.”

2. Shrimp al Ajillo from Sol y Luna

3. Hash from The Essential
“My first time grabbing brunch at The Essential did not disappoint. This hash with potatoes, conecuh bacon, peppers, fried eggs and salsa verde was bright and refreshing. Pro tip: Split the hash with a friend.”

4. Chicken and waffles from Yo’ Mama’s

6. Shredded beef flautas + chicken chilaquiles from Sol y Luna
*Clearly, the Bham Now team is loving Sol y Luna this month.
