What a wonderful hidden gem! It’s absolutely delicious! Think “meat and 3”. I’ve tried the Greek chicken, ribeye w/ gravy and onions, yellow squash, collard greens, side salad, and cornbread. Everything I’ve ever gotten here was absolutely delicious and well worth the price. Whenever I’m in Birmingham now, I’ll be coming here to eat.
Big truck parking is available. Short walk from Freightliner in Birmingham off 0f Daniel Payne Dr.

I’ve been eating here off and on for 40 plus years. Never had a bad meal or experience.
Gus’ family has done an awesome job with keeping the standards high. Best Meat and three (or four).
And desserts, wow

If you have low expectations and don’t care about the taste or texture of your food then this restaurant is totally for you. I can honestly say I’ll never return nor will I recommend this location to others unless they just want to experience the vibe. I feel gaslighted by the reviews left from others. I’ll start with the good. The bread pudding was great, very flavorful, very moist. I personally prefer bread pudding to be on the wet soft side vs dry. The rolls! Big ol fat dinner rolls. The only reason I would return here would be to buy rolls for a holiday or gathering of some sort. On to the bad. Fried catfish was tolerable, nothing I would ever think twice about. The bright orange Mac & cheese sucked. It’s very soft and mushy, lacked flavor yet had a very off putting taste. On to the mashed potatoes, sucked and had no flavor. Fried green tomatoes, bitter and lacked flavor. Corn bread = sucked. Collard greens, thumb down. No flavor, seasoning, no bacon or anything cook with it. Lots of steams and at types tasted bitter. Long story short there’s like no seasoning and the food left a lot to be desired.

One of the most reliable restaurants in town. You will never be disappointed, this is the ultimate meat and three. Something for even the most pickiest eaters.

The food is not good. Lacks flavor . Arrived and the security guard advised a person with us he could not enter with a tank on . Wearing a nice bike set . Nothing showing or bad or revealing about the attire . The establishment is far from fine dining to even have a dress code .

A great place to get all you can eat of southern comfort food. Squash was great and the Greek chicken was spot on. Always a great treat.

What can be said that has not already been said? Outstanding service, solid food offerings, reasonable prices. If you want classic southern meat and 3 (plus plus plus), you owe it to yourself and your family to spend 2 hours at Niki’s. You will not be disappointed!

Best restaurant in Birmingham! +UPDATE+ I just ate here again and got the lemon pepper catfish with extra filet, spinach and Mac. Everything is perfect.

Just know that you have to be ready to start ordering before you even get to the steam table. They will point at you and ask what meat you want. Be prepared to decide quickly as you go down the line. DO NOT BE ON YOUR PHONE! I know this sounds harsh but this is how they are able get a lot of people fed. They have a large selection and everything is delicious.

The food was delicious. Stopped in traveling back to Nashville. I thoroughly enjoyed the liver and onions. The onions could have been cooked a little more. The lemon meringue pie was ok.
