★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Tom Kurzenbaum · Feb 2026

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

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

★★★★☆ 4.0 Kirsten Holly Chang · Feb 2025

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.
