I had a fantastic experience at O’Carrs! The food was absolutely excellent—every bite was a delight. The atmosphere was charming and quaint, giving the place a warm and welcoming vibe. While the service was okay, it didn’t detract from the overall experience at all. I highly recommend giving O’Carrs a try!”

We adore Ocarrs!!! The chicken salad is our absolute favorite for a delicious lunch. The atmosphere includes lots of beautiful artwork that creates so much interest and conversation starters. And the cheesecake is drool worthy!! We love having this spot in Homewood, go have a colorful lunch!! 🙂

O’Carr’s has been one of my favorite-favorites in all of Birmingham for several decades. Their dining room is super cozy and conducive to conversation, and their chicken salad and fruit plate is the absolute best in town!!
Their chicken salad is a Birmingham staple, and is both savory and sweet, with the biggest purple grapes! I just love it! I’m very picky about the freshness of my fruit, and they have never once disappointed! You get so many different fruits to try, the plate is just as beautiful as it is tasty!! They actually go to the local farmers market every-single-morning, to pick up their daily fruits! And if you order their specialty (chicken salad & __), it comes out within just a few minutes, as it’s made fresh daily.
The staff is great, and friendly, and the same people have been working there for years; I feel like that says a whole lot about management. It’s also usually packed at lunch, which says a whole lot about the food. O’Carr’s is conveniently located in the heart of downtown Homewood, walking distance from all the shops, and always a great place to stop for lunch (as they’re not open for dinner ), or just a slice of delightfully warm cheesecake! (Chocolate is my fave!) I haven’t figured out howww they make and serve it warm, but it’s a must-try!! You will not be disappointed.

We love eating here! The chicken salad and fruit plate and the fruit and cheese plate are our favorites! Everyone is so nice and personable. The food is fresh and delicious! I love how the food is like mini works of art!

Update: I spoke to the owner of the restaurant and he couldn’t have been nicer. He impressed me in his commitment to ensuring that my concerns were addressed. In every business, things can go wrong occasionally. How the business responds to these challenges is very important. Based upon our conversation, I am sure that O’Carrs will continue to be very successful.
Previous review:
O Carr’s has been a favorite of ours for a long time, though the quality of the food has declined in recent years. More exotic fruit and better crackers were provided in the past.
I was picking up our standard chicken salad and fruit on December 31st. As it was the last day of the year, I was looking for a dessert because we always begin the new year with a healthy, though restrictive diet. They had slices of caramel cake that looked good, so I ordered a couple of slices. I asked the woman who was taking the order if the cake was good and she said that it was very good. I noticed that I paid for the cake. I think it was about $12. When I got into the car, I told my husband about the cake and he was really excited.
To our surprise and disappointment, there was no cake in the bag when we got home. I tried to call to speak to the manager, but no one was answering the phone and voicemail was not set up.
I did not ask for a printed receipt so I’m not sure exactly what I paid for the cake, but I do know it was not cheap. This was a real downer for us, therefore, am unlikely to visit this restaurant in the future.

I went for lunch and the place was emptied out so I was greeted by a friendly waiter and sat by the window. Admired all of the artwork in the walls and felt like a cozy place with flowers on each table which is always a nice touch. They had 80’s music playing so I enjoyed hearing familiar music. I had the Reuben sandwich on rye and pasta salad that also came with a bag of potato chips. I will be back to try their chicken salad.

Their food is good, but do not expect a hospitable or helpful experience. We accidentally ordered at the counter because no one directed us what to do when we arrived or asked when we ordered if it was for here or to go. After we ordered, they told us we could not sit at a table because we ordered at the counter, despite there being about 8 open tables inside and 8 open tables outside. The person at the counter was completely rude about it and said he hoped we could come again and order correctly to enjoy sitting at a table. It’s a pass, lots of other lunch options in Homewood.

I was in town for a conference and tried this local deli for lunch…great decision! The veggie sandwich was fantastic and the service was friendly and fast. The only challenge is parking as it’s in a very busy strip center, so parking on the street might be required. But the food was definitely worth that hassle. Plenty of outside seating on the front patio too.

Such a charming restaurant and the best chicken and rice soup I’ve ever had in my life. The chicken salad and fruit plate was a great size for the value and the service was the best in town! Can’t wait to return again soon!!!

I ordered turkey and greens. Everything was fresh; however, the lemon oil dressing tasted just like plain oil. I should have brought my skinnygirl poppyseed dressing from home.
