Best Restaurants in Birmingham
The South's quiet fine-dining powerhouse.
Birmingham started a Southern food revolution and stayed humble about it. Frank Stitt's Highlands Bar & Grill made it a James Beard fixture, and a generation of chefs followed — turning a steel town into serious eating country without a hint of velvet rope. All substance, no swagger.
