Whether it is a restaurant that you miss in Bham or a restaurant that’s never been here before, there’s at least one place that’s been missing from your diet (and your heart).
We asked our followers:

2 highly-requested restaurants
There were two restaurants desperately desired by our readers…
Some may be surprised, some may not.
According to our followers, the top 2 restaruants wanted were:
In-N-Out
In case you didn’t know, In-N-Out is a California-based burger joint known for being the first drive-thru hamburger stand California (how cool)!
Our followers must be craving their famous Animal Style burger with a side of delicious fries… I know I am.
BTW: In-N-Out was also the number one pick for the top chain wanted in the Magic City from our past question on social media.
Magianno’s Little Italy
Maggiano’s Little Italy is a Chicago-based Italian chain. They pride themselves on authentic Italian food that tastes like your grandmother’s!
Cuisines that need more spots in Bham
The Magic City is a melting pot of a variety of different cultures!
Some cuisines are well-respresented in the city, but our readers via our question demand more options.
Here’s what our followers want to see:
- An Authenitc Coney Island hot dog joint (the right way)
- A Roti Shop
- In case you didn’t know, a Roti shop is a South Asian joint serving traditional recipies like curries and roti wraps.
- Korean BBQ
- Hawaiian
- A true NY style Deli
- More Gluten-free restaurants
We may have some of these places, but our followers want to have options!
Bring these back!
There were also 2 restaurants commented consistently that our followers miss dearly.
Bham misses the flavorful menu of the Puerto Rican/Carribean spot, Tropicaleo.
Would y’all want to see them come back? I would!
The second location our followers also would love to see— Fire & Ice: a BBQ and grill spot known for a combo of styles and flavors, come back to the ‘Ham.
