Whiskey Foxtrot Burger Shoppe

This was my first time visiting this place. I ordered a build-your-own burger through the website, but there wasn’t an option to select a gluten-free bun, which was disappointing since I have a gluten allergy. So, I wrote it in the comment section to put on GF bun. The burger patty tasted mildly salty, while the sweet potato fries were quite greasy. I wish they offered air-fried fries as a healthier option. That said, the gluten-free bun was delicious, and overall the burger was good despite the saltiness. Service could be improved—no one greeted me right away, even though the kitchen is open and staff were visible. I stood at the counter for a while before being assisted. The space is small but nice and quiet. However, the dining area could benefit from better lighting.

Had burgers, drinks and the loaded tots without bacon extra onion. My thoughts are the buns are too soft and fall apart too easily and there is not enough sauce for the loaded tots, but the carbonated drinks were perfection(some places don’t put in enough carbonation!). Limited seating but if you want to climb a flight of stairs there is additional seating up top.

These burgers are THE BEST burgers I’ve had, I’m from Destin and am sad that this restaurant isn’t closer. If you’re thinking of going here do it!! It’s super cute and friendly staff. I’m looking forward to going again some day!

My wife and I were in Birmingham and looking for someplace for dinner and came upon Whiskey Foxtrot on a google maps search. The restaurant has a cool vibe and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful! My wife had the Cowgirl and I had the Classic, both were delicious! She ordered the loaded fries and I ordered the loaded tots, both were great but we should have just shared one order since neither of us could finish. I REALLY wish we had one of these in Tuscaloosa!

One of the best burgers I have ever had. The tater tots were absolutley perfect...crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle. The restaurant atmosphere and decor is funky and retro.

I was looking for a really good burger place on DoorDash and came across this spot — it was highly rated, and rightfully so! The first handful of times I ordered, the food was amazing — so good that I eventually decided to go in person instead of ordering delivery. I love the aesthetic of this restaurant! From the old bicycle on the wall to the vintage school desk chairs, the locker decor, and the mini arcade games — the retro vibe is undeniable and super fun. As for the food, it’s been consistently great… up until recently. After weeks of ordering, my last two burgers were a bit dry, which was disappointing since I’ve never had that issue before. Because of that inconsistency, I’m giving it a 4 out of 5, but overall, it’s still one of my favorite burger spots and worth checking out!

Great burgers. Service was friendly and quick. Food was hot and fresh. Lots of flavor. Eclectic place, lots of things to see. Cannot go wrong with a WF burger.

Very good burger. Great craft beer available. Small place but fast service and a cool vibe. Ordered The Classic burger, fried and also the sweet potato waffle fries. Fried are hand cut and so fresh!!! Would definitely go back.

Love the patty melt and sweet potato fries but unfortunately it is next to impossible to place a to go order no matter what time or day. No one answers the phone! So aggravating!

It was hot. It was getting late. We were tired. And it was past my husband's feeding time. Our hotel was almost across the street from his fave - Cookout. Yet, that evening, my sweet guy let ME pick the place. What I wanted, what I really needed, was a good greasy burger. (Good is operative here - Cookout does have greasy burgers). The name "Whiskey Foxtrot" caught my eye and the next thing you know, I was placing my order for the Buccaneer, a double burger topped with pimento cheese and bacon on a potato roll. I never pass up pimento cheese and am I glad I didn't pass up this greasy, messy handful of yum. We shared an order of fresh, shoestring fries, don't miss these. We decided to eat in the upstairs dining room. It was really a storage area with some tables and a tv added for entertainment. And warm air rises - it was toasty up there. The staircase is long and steep, not ideal for a person whose claim to fame is having had 4 knee replacements. The downstairs dining area is tiny but definitely much safer. For 4 years, our son lived within walking distance of WF. He'd never heard of it. What a loss for our whole family.

This was my first visit to this location. I've tried the Hoover location so I was already a little familiar with their food. This location occupies the exact same spot where Homewood Gourmet used to be. The interior wasn't changed much. There's not much room on the ground floor with only 5 small tables, but there's upstairs seating. The Hoover location is much roomier. If there's a big crowd, seating can be a challenge. Parking can also be a challenge because WF is in a small strip mall sharing it with the famous TCBY which has been at that location forever. So if you know where TCBY in Homewood is, you'll know where WF is. I visited with fellow Yelper Paul C and our friend Kenny. We managed to get a table right by the drink station which is right next to the cashier. After placing your order, you get your own drinks, seat yourself and your food will be brought to you. Kenny got one of the wagu beef burgers. He had no complaints. Paul tried the Al Capone hot dog. It was their version of a Chicago dog with peppers, pickles, tomatoes, sweet relish and mustard. He loved it. I tried the Chili Ray Cyrus. The all beef hot dog was cut in half and topped with chili, cheese sauce and chopped yellow onions. It was served on a toasted hawaiian roll. Yom Yom Yom! Warning, like most chili dogs, this can get messy. At times I used my plastic knife and fork rather than try to pick it up. The all beef frank could've been bigger but then they'd have to make the roll longer I suppose. We all shared tater tots and shoe string fries. Both were large portions, fresh out of the frier and plenty enough for 3 grown men. They were also Yom Yom Yom. I'll miss Homewood Gourmet (they made a mean poboy), but welcome to Homewood Whiskey Foxtrot!

I am a fan and strongly recommend Whiskey Foxtrot for their burgers and dogs. This is the second location, and I assume it is a locally owned, family run operation. This location is In the Merchant's Walk shopping center at the corner of Highway 31 and 28th street. The setup is very casual; order at the counter, fix your own drink, and the staff delivers food to your table. There is both indoor (main level and an upstairs) and outdoor seating, The dining areas are relatively small with each seating approximately 4-5 tables for four. My lunch today was the Al Capone hot dog. It is their spin on a Chicago dog. It has peppers, pickles, tomatoes, sweet relish, and mustard. The bun is a toasted Hawaiian roll instead of the steamed poppy seed bun usually found on a Chicago. This dog was fantastic; fresh ingredients and bursting with complementary flavors. I would most definitely come back for it. Everything on the menu has a creative name, and the descriptions are very appealing. My friends and I shared orders of tater tots and fries. I thought the tots were very good. The fries are skinny and have potential, but they were a little greasy.

The blueprint burger was so juicy! Delicious is an understatement. The restaurant is tucked in Homewood in a plaza. The food prices are reasonable. They offer dine-in if you stay and eat, with upstairs and downstairs seating. I didn't dine in. I would go back and try a new item.

The service was awesome. Friendly! Food did not take long. Ambiance is typical of a hamburger joint or a small Bar. Signs on the wall gave it some character. Of course, the main deal is the food. We had all agreed the burgers at their other location on John Hawkins Blvd was the bomb, taste was fantastic. Ordered the same classic hamburger with bacon here and was so disappointed. The meat lacked flavor, like it needed A1 sauce or something. Maybe the beef patties were left over from lunch, as we were there for a 2:30 pm Mothers Day Burgerfest! Our kids enjoyed their meals but hubby and I agreed this just did not measure up to other location. Fries and tots were excellent though. Fresh & hot like one would expect! Hey Msnager- call your other location and find out what flavorings they spice their burgers with! Next time I crave a good burger, guess what? We will drive out to the Birmingham suburbs of Hoover near exit 10 of Interstate 459!

Service was good, you order upfront and they bring your food to you. This is my first time here as I'm visiting for work. I ordered the Chili Ray Cyrus w/fries and a drink.

We arrrived on a Sunday afternoon looking for a different style restaurant than your normal burger joint. Whiskey Foxtrot was just the place. The Elvis burger with peanut butter and jelly was delicious. The food come out hot and fast. The only downside was we tried to order 2 different specialties fries combos and they was out of cheese to make them. We will definitely give them another shot.

Whiskey Foxtrot Burger Shoppe is a great place to head towards if you are looking for a greT burger along with some French fries. Walking in, I thought that Whiskey Foxtrot Burger Shoppe had a great ambiance. Kind of a burger dive, but in my opinion, a burger is best enjoyed in some dive type vibe. I walked up to the counter and the guy behind it was okay, though I would say that he definitely did nor want to be there. Hey, we all get like that at times. Like I said, he wasn't rude or anything, it just seemed that he wanted to be anywhere but there. I guess I could be wrong, but probably not. Anyway, soon enough, another guy brought out my food and he was great. He suggested some sauces for my fries and brought me a ranch dressing and their signature sauce. Let me say, the French fries were perfect. Not only prepared perfectly, but seasoned perfectly. The burger (actually there are two burger patties on this) was also very good. The menu was pretty straightforward. Burgers, hot dogs, French fries and tater tots. I will definitely be back.

Great service. Good atmosphere and ambiance. It was about 12 of us including teenagers. We sat upstairs. Burgers are really good. A great selection of them. I had a smash burger and fries. Fries crisp, shoestring style. Wife had smash with sweet potato waffle fries. Those also was cooked well. Food came out quickly for the amount of people in our group. Not a ton of seating. We went on a Sunday @ noon. Was not busy.

We came south to Birmingham for a birthday trip at the end of March for me to see the cherry blossom festival at the botanical gardens. That wound up being a total bust (wayyyy too crowded to even park anywhere close), but we were fortunate to stop for lunch here! I'd had this place bookmarked for a long time and I'm glad I got to try it out. There's a small patio out front, a few tables and chairs on the first level, and it looked like some more seating upstairs. It's an order at the counter type of joint and sides are ordered separately from the burgers themselves. You'd be hard-pressed to make it out for less than $15 a head if you're expecting a side with your sandwich, but that being said, everything is obviously very high quality, freshly made, and delicious. The decor is fun and evocative of a sort of divey atmosphere, although the space itself is perfectly tidy. Honestly, the service is probably the one major thing that kept this from being a 5-star. The two ladies working the register were very disinterested in being friendly or helpful. The menu written on the wall is a little hard to read, and despite my parents obviously struggling to see it, we had to figure out for ourselves that there were paper menus on the counter by the register. No have a nice days, thank yous, or what would you likes, either, just a dutiful if sour rendering of our orders into the register and a wordless exchange of credit cards. They didn't say anything outright ugly and they did the job they're paid to do, but a little pleasantness really does go a long way. On the bright side, the kitchen was clearly working efficiently because our freshly cooked food was out in a matter of minutes. On to the food -- it rocked! I thought two patties would be too much for me, and I was suuuuper full at the end, but they were smashed nicely and therefore it wasn't an immense challenge to eat them. I had the queso blanco burger and it was delicious. Gooey queso, crisp jalapeños, creamy aioli, and savory, umami beef that surprisingly didn't melt the soft, lightly toasted buns into a soggy mess. My only *minor* wish was for a slightly spicier entree -- it was barely spicy at all, and I'd have been happier with a little more kick. That being said, easy 4.5/5 meal and I would be more than happy to devour it again. My sweet potato waffle fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, a nice balance of sweet and salty, and the serving was generous. Can't remember which burger my husband got but he loved it. WF's take on regular fries is also delicious and also comes with a generous portion. I thiiiiiink my parents split a patty melt and fries. Whatever the case, all four of us were beyond happy with our food. All in all, fantastic tasting burger joint in a comfortable environment with fairly easy parking, convenient to lots of fun stuff to see and do in Birmingham. If you're looking for a good burger stop in town, look no further! I would happily come back.

Yeah we came back and it was fantastic. I think my taste buds were turned off or something in the last review? Don't know but we took our godkids with us a few months ago and it was 11/10 good. Will be back. Service was just as good as last time. 5/5.

Maybe I caught this place on an off day, but to be honest, everything seemed over-hyped to me. Around $10 dollars for a smallish double cheeseburger, another $4-ish for fries, and $6 for a can of craft beer (Muchacho by Good People.) I was expecting to be amazed by the Wagyu beef, but the patties were pretty thin and so thoroughly cooked that I didn't really taste much flavor. Pretty underwhelming. The fries were really good, and of course the beer did not disappoint. Service was about what you would expect from 3-4 late teens or early 20s guys whose boss had just left for the day.

Look. I wanted a greasy burger I got a greasy burger and honestly it was great. Chili cheese fries only complaint is that I wanted more cheese. The fries are what in and out fries could be if they were seasoned correctly. Anyways perfect 5/7.

This was our first time visiting. We wanted an easy casual dinner and that's just what this place is. Order at the counter and they bring it out. Simple menu of burgers and hot dogs, a few sandwiches. My burger was good, nothing special. Shredded ice berg lettuce would have been nicer if it had been mixed greens but it was ok. However the sweet potato fries were out of this world delicious! Huge serving too! I was so full and just kept eating them because they were so good! Probably won't return just because we aren't local and we like to try other things but if we were local I would be back just for the fries!

Stopped in for a late lunch last week. The restaurant has great ambiance and the service and food were so good. I had "The Blueprint" burger and fries and really enjoyed them. This was my first visit to the restaurant and I will definitely be going back. Wish I knew about this place years ago!

The food is amazing and sooo yummy!! I love everything about it!! The burgers are mouth watering and the sweet potato waffle fries have just the right amount of seasoning and are very flavorful! Overall this is definitely a great place and a return trip!

This is the Burger Man from Best Burgers in America Association, and I was invited to come and score their burger. It is a great Smash Burger. I cautioned the owner to hold back on the seasoning. Less is more when it comes to seasoning. Still, it is a great burger. A freshly hand-patted out patty, great thick bacon, and toppings fresh and blended well.

Loved this burger. The combination of flavors was just perfect. The patty was thick and juicy, and the bun was toasted nicely. The pickles and sauce added a great balance of flavors. A must-try if you're a burger fan.

Wow guys, a top 3 burger joint in Birmingham. Fresh, fresh, fresh! I ordered the queso burger to go and it was still warm when we got back to the office. Service on point because our order was on point. See ya again soon.

This place is great! Happy to see they have a second location. It is as good or better as the Hoover location. The Cowgirl is one of the best! The Blueprint is nice too! They have a nice kids menu as well. The mac and cheese side is kid approved with the grilled cheese! This location is nice and has an upstairs dining area as well! Also, the tater tots are on point fried golden tone with a nice light crisp crunch on the outside Parking can be a challenge due to the shopping center not the business.

Looks like a small place but there are two stories- for seating, so there is more to this restaurant than you might think. Ambiance is fun and comfortable to be in. Service style is counter order and self service from there. Service was lackluster bordering on poor had it not been for kitchen staff. Little help or engagement with front staff who were sitting and scrolling on their phones most of the time. Conversely the kitchen staff brought us our food and were very friendly. Strange dichotomy. Food was awesome and the star here as it should be. Two pattie's per burger and taste was very good. Lots of fries if you go that route for a side. Macaroni was extra large elbows with dice and melted cheese on top. Btw: they do not have a chili burger on the menu but they can accommodate and add it to any of the burger options on the menu. I did and was glad for it! Would definitely recommend for the food- don't expect much in the way of friendly service which is why this rating was knocked down.

Food was delicious Definitely try the burgers add bacon it's wonderful. Fries are well seasoned and fresh!

Visited today because I wanted a burger. It's tucked away in a Homewood Shopping Complex so it's a chance you can pass it. I got the blueprint with all the topping and my husband got the foxtrot. We shared fries because it was a lot. The fries had a lemon peppery seasoning which I absolutely could do without but aside from that I enjoyed the food.

I was craving a burger and was pleasantly surprised to have found Whiskey Foxtrot! The parking was easy in the lot out front of this strip mall plaza. The inside was smaller and there was limited seating available during this Wednesday night. I ordered takeout ahead of time using the website. It was easy to navigate and was straight forward. They are known for burgers and fries or sides and it made my options limited, which was a good thing for me! I ordered the junior classic burger, tater tots, and a fountain soda. It took me 15-20 minutes to get to my airbnb before chowing down. I was happy the burger was still warm and tasty! The burger was cooked medium well and the toppings were a good contrast to the cheese and meat. The tater tots were a little soggy and nothing special, but a good side for the burger. The portion was plenty and I was full and happy with my choices.

I was craving a burger and we were in the neighborhood. My husband said he had a great experience at the Hoover location so we stopped in. I forgot the name of my burger but it doesn't matter because the burger itself was incredible! It had bacon jam on it that I would've loved more of but I supplemented with their Ranch. Didn't taste homemade but it was good. I was a little disappointed with the bacon strips. They tasted kind of like jerky. They were good but not on the burger. The sweet tea was awesome! I mostly find stale tea when I'm at little dives like this but there's was great! Okay MOST IMPORTANTLY they have the best house made sweet potato waffle fries. OMG do not NOT get them. They also had great service. it's not a sit down place but they came to check on us several times outside. Don't see that often!

Had deliver. Fried were great, even though I ordered tots. Food was delivered quickly. Hot dog? Eh, chili was great. I would order again just for the chili.

I do love a Tasty Burger. Where did you get this one from? "Whiskey Foxtrot Burger shoppe". I was minding my own business when yesterday, yelp sent me a list of best burgers in Birmingham, AL. I looked at the list and had gone to most. One I had not gone to was "Whiskey Foxtrot Burger Shoppe". Why not? So, I got in my car and drove from downtown Birmingham, to the place a 10-minute ride. It is a little whole in the wall kind of place with a few tables. I did not know what to expect. So I ordered a pretty basic burger with an order of fries. They make everything fresh was the first hint this place was the real deal. The staff was nice but not over the top. The Burger and Fries were very good. Better then some and not as good as others. The reason I gave it a four out of five was the bun. It was not to my liking and wish it just was a normal Hamburger bun. I would not hesitate to go there again, if I was in the area. Also, there is a great donut shop next to it for desert. Eat well, Drink well and stay healthy.

We stopped in on a Friday nite for an early dinner and enjoyed ourselves. After placing our order at the counter we went upstairs to wait for our food. The upstairs vibe was an 80s arcade and was really neat! It only took a little less than 10 mins for our food to arrive, which was brought to our table. The burgers were hot and delicious, the fries were a generous portion-also hot and fresh!

Delicious cheeseburgers!!! Friendly staff. Cute atmosphere. Definitely would be eating there all the time, if we lived closer!

Amazing time eating here. The ambience, decor, music, and arcade games were great. The smash burgers we had were high quality, hot, and came quickly after ordering. Staff was friendly and helpful.

My coworker recommended this place. I visited the homewood location. I always look a good homemade burger. However when reviewed the menu, I saw hot dogs which I love. They had a version of what I call Chicago dog. I ordered it, it was ok. On a scale of 1-10. I'll give a 4. The venue was small and it was hot. The AC was not working. I felt rushed by the staff , I guess they ready to close soon. That was my first visit. Maybe my last

Used pickup service. Worked very well. App was easy to use. Food was ready on time and still warm. Food was very good. I had the fox trot, and it was excellent. My wife had the blueprint. She said it was good but she would have liked it to be more moist. Sweet potato fries were very good and a generous amount. A very good experience.

I was desperate for a burger after 10 days of seafood on an Ecuadorian trip. Whiskey Foxtrot has been on my "try list" based on the Yelp reviews. The food was good but I was a little disappointed based on the Yelp reviews. The burgers were good but they did not exude excellence. Perhaps my standards were set too high based on the Yelp reviews. I placed my order online for pickup after getting my groceries. The time to be ready was confusing. As I'm ordering it indicates that order would be ready in 20 mins. After ordering and paying the time jumped to 45-60 mins. The reality was that it wound up being about 30 mins. I never got updates like most online orders. I chose not to listen to Siri as I approached the parking lot because I didn't see the sign. Mistake!!! I wound up going round "the block". I finally found it as I turned into the parking lot. I should never argue with British Siri since he always wins. As I walked in I was surprised by the small size til I realized that they have an upstairs dining area. They certainly seem to get a lot of takeout. I got there ahead of the food being ready. At least I knew it would be fresh off the grill. I ordered tater tots with both single burgers (classic and an Elvis minus the jelly). One order of tater tots would have been plenty. Mom surprised me and ate the whole classic and 1/3 of one tater tot order. I liked the Elvis. It had just enough PB to give the added flavor. Not sure if it's the peanut oil or seasoning or both but the tater tots were very tasty. I sure hope the leftover batch heat up well in my air fryer oven.

Delicious food! The atmosphere is nice but its a little small, they deserve a bigger space!!!!

I can't decide what was better - the burger or the fries! I ordered carry out online and my food was ready quickly, and the text when my food was ready was super easy. I drove about 15 minutes before I ate but everything was still warm. I got a petite cowboy burger and fries with a side of foxtrot sauce. The burger was exactly the size I wanted, but on the small side for a burger - definitely order a regular burger (two patties) if you're hungry! Fries were well seasoned and perfectly crispy, and tasted even better when dipped into the foxtrot sauce. Great amount of food for the price, and pickup inside was easy.

OH HAMBURGERS! I've been a BIG fan of Whiskey Foxtrot for a while now. Ever since I went to their original location in Hoover. Unfortunately, that locations is a little out of the way for me so hearing that there is a closer one is right up my alley. Located in the old Homewood Gourmet location. Honestly, the inside hasn't changed too much from what used to be there. But they have added wall decor as well changes a few things around to give the dining space a little more room. I met a friend here a couple nights ago for dinner. We each ordered a burger a side and a drink. Our meals were about $18 each which honestly isn't too bad. Both burgers had a double patty on them as well as what ever condiments were served on that specific burger. Since we came in around 7:15pm we weren't too worried about when they were going to close. However, about fourth five minutes later, they staff started to do their pre close and made it very clear they wanted us to leave. They did not say it, but they did imply it. We felt as though we were being watched and as though they were aching for us to leave. Not too big of a deal, but if it is only 8pm and y'all close an hour later, then I guess I was expecting for us to not have to deal with this. But I guess everyone is different. The food was good, service was great until the end, and the ambience has definitely changed from what used to be here. But I will definitely be back. I am so happy there is a closer location to me.

Holy "Cowgirl" burger with a side of fries! It seemed a bit pricey when I ordered but it was so delicious I might have been convinced to pay a little more... Highly recommended and I will definitely look to try another of these delicious burgers next time I'm in the Birmingham area!

Went yesterday with some hesitation, because local burger places are so hit or miss. Wow was I wrong! This place slaps! The Foxtrot burger was delicious and served piping hot, alongside chili cheese fries that were worth every calorie. The tots were also amazing. Fried perfectly and well-seasoned. Come hungry. Portions are huge!

Tried out this cute spot for the first time today. Burger and sweet potato fries were amazing! Service was fast! A hidden gem in Homewood :)

The burger had a great flavor but would have been much better if it weren't dried out and so heavily charred. It was past well done and I'm generally looking for medium or medium well at most. The space is comfortable and they played great music however the employees aren't very friendly. No smiles, no polite banter, just lots of phone scrolling. It was like nobody had trained them on basic customer service. All in all, it's not my kind of place.

Awesome! Everyone had a great lunch. Atmosphere is great. Tater tots awesome , fries great, burgers awesome. Good People beer is cold. Highly recommend.

Ok the most DELISH burger and fires I've ever had! I've had a few a must stop! The wait staff was awesome and fast

This are the burger I ever had! My fiancé and I been too plenty of restaurants and this is by far the best burger spot were been, definitely coming again. even the service is amazing as well 100/10 ‍

Good burgers and beer in family friendly atmosphere. Large portions that we split between two older adults.

Surprising yummy place for burgers in Homewood. Good crowd there and they even had gluten free buns. One order of fries was plenty to share.

Awesome fries!!! They were hand cut and I would go there every day just for them. Attentive service. Cute place. Burgers were so good!!!

Never had Wagyu burger. It was fantastic!! I got the traditional burger on the gluten free bun. We had tots and homemade fries!! Get the foxtrot sauce to dip. We got the grilled cheese and hotdog and kids burger. Hubby got the classic. This didn't disappoint! Family friends spot! Thanks for a great dinner!

My new favorite lunch spot...it is a trifecta! Great burgers...tots...and sweet tea is always on point!
