Avondale Common House

Working in Birmingham, AL for the week and it 's dinnertime! So I did some Yelp 'ing with my co-worker and he was craving a burger. I found this place, we came and here 's how it went!Atmosphere/Appearance: Set a little outside of downtown in a more urban, industrial-like area in this gem. The neighborhood was pretty quiet and we were able to find some street parking nearby. The Avondale Common House was smooth, welcoming and chill. I remember seeing the lights hanging on the roof and thinking, yeah, I 'm gonna like it here . Once inside it felt like an upscale neighborhood bar if that makes any sense. Lol. There were tons of stickers on the host stand and random license plates above it which gave it a more personal touch, like customers have come and left their mark. However, the bar looked modern, the tables are all wood with one-piece metal chairs and the ceiling had this super-cool wavy look to it! I had never seen anything like it before.Service: Riley took excellent care of us and I had no complaints.Food: I started off with the Berns Blackberry beer and it was delicious. It hardly tasted anything like beer. It had a fruity-sweetness to it and was moderately heavy. For dinner I went with their Common Burger. It contains 2 well-done smashburger patties topped with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, garlic aioli and a American cheese on a brioche bun. I added bacon and at the time, was able to substitute chihuahua cheese instead of the American. This was such a clutch sub because the Chihuahua cheese is creamy, with some great hints of acid flavor and it was super melty. The burger as a whole was delightful and quite flavorful.Value: Back then this burger was $13.00 and $1.50 to add bacon. That same burger now goes for $16.00 and it 's still $1.50 for the bacon. Damn that inflation. SMH. But anyway, this place won 't break the bank. It 's a chill spot where it can be date night, gathering with friends or whatever.In conclusion, I really liked this place and I would totally pay them another visit if I 'm in the area. You should check them out too!

Summary:10/10Breakdown:Food- I am vegetarian, date is not.I ordered fried green tomatoes appetizer , Fries side , vegan bbq with slaw. Date had wings appetizer with chicken tenders meal and fries side .Slaw has a vinegar base so sweet with a kick and very crunchy. Absolutely fabulous and a wake up from the boring creamy slaws. Sandwich had a meaty texture and the sauce was the right combo of sweet and bitter if that makes sense with a hint of spice. Fries were really good with a crunchy shell and soft inner shell like absolutely perfect. Green tomatoes were on point, just the right of tang with a little crunch but not overpowering. Whatever corn salsa they put on top was absolutely perfect.Meat eater enjoyed wings appetizer . Maple flavored sweet heat, very much enjoyed. Chicken fingers with same sauce because it was so very good.Drinks- 41st Street Tea I think that's the name was absolutely good with a hint of mint. The blackberry smoke was so good I ordered two to make sure I wasn't imagining how good it was. Great mixture of sweet and strong but had a sneaky kick definitely felt but it was so smooth it flowed right into the meal.Service- OUTSTANDING! Perfect atmosphere for an intimate meal with good choice conversation. Lexi ? was FANTASTIC and went right into the perfect recommendations when asked. Absolutely loved the check ins, not too overbearing and always on time. Quick turnaround on food and drinks. Music was at a good level where I could hear every word of our conversation and none of anyone else's. We sat at the bar and got wonderful service that wasn't pushy or annoying but attentive which is so needed nowadays.Wonderful hidden gem. Love they can tailor most dishes to be vegetarian/vegan friendly with ease. Will be going back!Vegetarian options: Fried green tomatoes, fries, slaw, vegan bbq sandwich all very good!

We started out for brunch at one of our favorite places, Avondale Common House. When we got there it was closed then I remembered reading an article about how they were moving so I googled their address...we found them at the old Fancy's location across from Avondale Park. Great atmosphere and wonderful service /food as always ?? so glad they just moved locations and not closed completely!! Happy Brunch day ?
