I was sad they were out of beef tips — but it turns out the roast sirloin beef was even better. Friendly server. A local institution. We don’t live close by, but we make trips here for the quality food. I tasted my wife’s catfish — it was great. And the SIDES here are good. Prepared as well as the main entrees.

I have more positives than negatives but the negatives are big ones. Like for instance my first complaint is that the crab meat au gratin was very bland and I only tasted the breading. Secondly the snapper was very bland, no seasoning at all. Finally, my last complaint would probably be the portion size, it wasn’t horrible but almost $40 for a thin steak. Now on to the positives, the beef (as they called it) was very juicy and the best tasting in Bessemer and that goes the same for the chicken! Secondly the gumbo was very good but kinda wish it had shrimp but that’s my preference. Lastly the staff was very friendly and we were seated faster than most places in my opinion.

We are huge University of Alabama fans, and they seated us at the Bear Bryant table! What a great experience! Food is always good here and service is great too. I insist that you try the Lemon Ice Box Pie. It’s so good it should be mandatory. We live this place.

I would give ten stars if I could. Went for my birthday lunch, our first time, and we will be going back. It’s over an hour drive from my house but worth the trip. Food is wonderful, and our waitress was great. The snapper and the salmon are wonderful. Definitely recommend this restaurant.

We just got the steak tips and fish. Food tasted fine. Aren’t really into the foods covered in sauces or toppings. I’m from NY and the Greek diners are very different. Have you ever considered adding chicken, beef or shrimp kabobs over rice pilaf? Or gyros or pitas? Or dolmades? Or even club sandwiches to your menu?

I’m born and raised in Birmingham and I live 15 minutes away and this was my first time at Bright Star. I’ve been missing out! There are not a lot of places left where you can get a meat + 3 for under $20. The food was great and the atmosphere was chill. Great lunch spot for meetings, a bite with coworkers or friends.

We made an unanticipated trip to The Bright Star on Sunday and it was absolutely perfect as always! The staff, servers and manager were all very friendly, inviting and courteous. The food was absolutely wonderful, promptly served and freshly prepared. The beautiful atmosphere is always clean and comfortable. You can never go wrong with the Bright Star. Anytime, any day!
