Urban Cookhouse is coming to Stadium Trace Village in Hoover.
The local restaurant chain plans to open its fifth Birmingham-area eatery next to Hero Doughnuts, according to the Hoover Sun.
Andrea Snyder—founder of Urban Cookhouse—told the Sun that the new spot was originally slated to be a Rodney Scott’s BBQ restaurant. The restaurant will now share an outdoor patio with Hero.
In addition to the upcoming Stadium Trace Village site, Urban Cookhouse has Birmingham locations in:
- Mountain Brook – 212 Country Club Park
- Downtown Birmingham – 1801 5th Ave North
- Homewood – 1920 29th Avenue South
- Birmingham – The Summit, 250 Summit Blvd Suite 102
They also have two restaurants in Huntsville, one in Cullman and one in Nashville.
More to come: Stadium Trace Village Phase II
Hoover residents can expect more new developments and restaurants coming to Stadium Trace Village in the coming year. In January 2025, developer Broad Metro purchased 121+ acres to build Stadium Trace Village Phase II.
