Always have a great time at Ovenbird. The atmosphere and staff can't be topped. Our menu favs are roasted veggies, snapper throats and burrata.

Loved the food. Service was great and very friendly.

OvenBird is a charming farm-to-table restaurant with a warm country estate ambiance. While some may find the small plate offerings to be on the pricier side, the dishes are undeniably excellent and perfect for sharing with friends. The restaurant's consistent theme of open fire/pit stations and ovens adds to the overall dining experience. Chef Chris Hastings brings quality cuisine to the table, with the tapas-style plates receiving high praise. The friendly and attentive staff, like waiter Chris, further enhance the overall dining experience. With a variety of delicious dishes on offer, including favorites like marrow bones, sweetbreads, vegetable paella, and pan-blistered okra, OvenBird is a must-try spot in Birmingham. Whether you're looking for a superb dining experience or a relaxing brunch, this restaurant offers a delightful blend of flavors, atmosphere, and service that won't disappoint.
