Alpha Charlie Grill: Reviews & Ratings
The food was TOP Tier! The Menu names were clever with a ton of variety! After receiving, the food the Owner was so kind and friendly. This is the best place I have been in over 15 years. I highly recommend bringing the family out even if you are not expecting to fly! You also have bonus of watching Airplanes Takeoff and land!
We went for breakfast. They were out of biscuits. That's the only negative I could think of, but the food was delicious. Watching airplanes take off in the morning is totally awesome
Amazing place to catch lunch if you're picking up or dropping off someone at the airport. Wonderful food and atmosphere:) Friendly staff and aviation themed dining experience. You can also dine outside and watch planes land and takeoff:) fun, relaxing experience for all ages
Such a cool spot with incredible food and outstanding service! Go to spot if you’re by BHM!! The cinnamon roll pork rinds are AMAZING!
Had a great experience at lunch today! Very fun atmosphere right by the runway and the food was very good too. Would recommend the Maverick burger! Very reasonably priced too! The owner is very sweet and came up and checked on us. We will be back!
Absolutely one of my favorite places in the area! I highly recommend this place if you like the good ol American food. We ordered the warthog, the shug, the 2 dogs and the chili. The seasoned fries with the ranch was definitely delicious and im not a ranch person, but i was today! The service was absolutely perfect and definitely enjoyed the conversation with them. The atmosphere is great and the inside is a cool throwback and had a Top Gun feel. The restaurant front opens to the airport where you can see the airplanes. Awesome awesome awesome. You'll have my service every time I'm back in the area!
Truly I have found my new to go lunch spot. The food exceeded every expectation you could imagine! The vibe and food the SERVICE!! I can not say how wonderful my first time experience has been!!!
The review speak for themselves. This restaurant is amazing. I came here after being starving from being at the airport all morning and had never heard of this place. Great customer service. I highly suggest getting the brisket burger. It was honestly one of the best burgers I’ve had in Birmingham. The brisket was surprisingly juicy fresh and the barbecue sauce was really tasty.
