PROS:The handicap parking was perfectly acessible and had easy ingress and egress to the restrauant. The wait staff was was warm friendly and 100 % professional.
NEGATIVE:
The food missed the mark! Really…. an Greek omelette
(€11.50) price point which turned out to be tasteless flat with a total absence of feta? A side of spinach and tomatoes placed quickly on the flat top; which didnt wow nor did it taste or seem very special.
PRESENTATION: Poor to non existent. KUDOS again to the lovely staff. EXCEPTIONAL
Will try again on my next visit to UAB.Fingers crossed for better grub.
€10.00 tip for the waitress

Well I’ve reviewed in Idaho and Montana so why not Alabama? A recent two week trip to Dixie and neighboring Mississippi and we leave with our bellies full and our culinary worldview challenged. Great BBQ at a Greek joint? Who knew? Of course, you ask what would dudes from Boise know about BBQ. We know enough that out West they tend to cook too fast and over smoke. “Low and slow” and “Less is more” rings true.
Thankfully my beloved Aunt Dixie, yes her real name, insisted we try Demetri’s in Homewood. I think words like Wow & Amazing are overused. I’d like to offer up a simple “YES!! As my choice to describe my experience. A simple yes to quality product, cooked with experience and an obvious love for their customers and calling. Demetri’s mastery of smoked wings, brisket and ribs begs for a special meat renaissance event. I picture Michelangelo, Beethoven and Matt Groening ravaging Demetri’s BBQ like a pack of Hyenas on a fresh kill.
You may want to queue the eye roll but seriously; Demetri’s established in 1961, IS IT! Look no further Birmingham—all others are pretenders. Ask for Alan, an admittedly over-educated but unpretentious big brother who will make you feel right at home while he honestly, patiently and skillfully outmaneuvers your dumb questions. He made our stay rememberable while educating us on the establishment’s history, menu, favorites while curating suggestions based on our brief interaction. If you have the appetite and wallet I recommend one of everything. Farewell, for now, from Boise and I’ll see you in February when we return. Thanks again Demetri’s

Always good bbq to breakfast , the Huevo rancheros is phenomenal, but my negative was years age they changed their fries and the new ones aren’t to my liking

First time in today and enjoyed everything. The food, atmosphere and service was awesome – particularly Mr. Ivy! He was the best and made my day with his great smile and amazing personality.

Why I rated the overall atmosphere so poorly is simply because it was overcrowded and chaotic. Granted I did go on a Sunday for brunch which is not the best of times to go to relax, BUT obviously a good sign that this restaurant has fantastic food. I’m here to tell you, they definitely do.
Today I had the stuffed poblano with shrimp. It comes with a delicious smokey red sauce, creamy and thick cheese sauce, and a little corn griddle cake. Also, yes, that is an entire half of an avocado! In addition to my entree, I had to try their famous “love” biscuit. You can order as is or grilled, and I had mine grilled. Wow. Not only is it a giant, it is so moist. This is quite possibly the best biscuit I have ever had. I look forward to coming back for one of their biscuit sandwiches.

I’ve only gone for Brunch on Sundays. The grits and biscuits are superb. I’ve had the omelette and tacos. They were both good.

For a long time I’ve been very excited to try Dimitri’s for breakfast.
There’s always a line out the door and today was no exception.
So of course, my son and I were very excited and starving so we knew this was gonna be a good experience! ….How wrong we were.
My son got pancakes with chocolate chips and they lacked any flavor at all and merely tasted like soggy bread.
The bacon was a bit burnt, but luckily that’s how I like it!
I got a side of cheese grits that were nothing less than water and sand.
The sawmill gravy was slop and clearly made from a store bought packet, and the biscuits were super dry.
$40 later I was left with a growling stomach and a hungry child.
The only positive I can give this place is at the service was a tentative and kind. Don’t waste your time or your money. Go somewhere else.

Upon entering your greeted with this loud welcome from this talk dark host who makes you feel welcome right away. I ordered the barbecue chicken sandwich fries and a large Coke the atmosphere was buzzing it appeared every seat was filled everybody was smiling and eating so I expected goodness upon paying for the meal I was quickly disappointed to find that the french fries were half cooked chicken sandwich was too large and fall apart easily but the barbecue sauce for second to none.

We had lunch on a Wed and it was crowded. Now I know why. The food was amazing! We had the Hamburger steak with onions and gravy added mushrooms .
Fried okra was perfect and fried whole. The fire roasted veggies were so good.
