Located just two hours west of Atlanta along I-20, Birmingham is worth a trip for the food alone. The Magic City received its first Michelin Guide accolades last year, making it a buzzy dining destination. Eater also named Birmingham one of the top places to eat in 2026. Whether it’s Southern fare at a meat-and-three, a swanky dinner with cocktails, or a wine garden serving some of the best bread, ‘Bama’s got it going on.

In this latest update by Eater regional editor Henna Bakshi, find new additions like Pizza Grace, joining an award-winning seafood restaurant Bayonet from the team behind Helen, the hidden gem Golden Age Wine Garden, and a decadent brunch from La Fête. The restaurants are listed geographically from north to south.
