30 Essential Restaurants to Know in Birmingham, Alabama

"There are Southern buffets, and then there’s Niki’s West, which has accrued a legendary cafeteria line since 1957. The younger sibling of the now-defunct Niki’s Downtown is heaven on earth for anyone who appreciates Southern food served cafeteria-style, and is a bucket list Birmingham lunch. The mains are on a rotating schedule, but the desserts and robust selection of sides remain steady Monday through Friday. Closed on weekends." - Sarra Sedghi
