Hotbox In Birm - Brook Highland

The lemon grass fried chicken is literally the best meal in Birmingham.

UPDATE 4/2023 Really fun menu, conveniet mobile ordering options. And plus you get to go drink some Good People Brewing Co. beer with it! Not much more to it than good food, good portions, and easy ordering. OLD: Would love to review the food. Showed up at 9:30 from out of town on recommendation. Stood at the window for about 10 minutes, was acknowledged with a “What’s your name?” said I hadn’t ordered yet, and was told “Kitchen’s fuckin’ closed.”

The glizzy sauce absolutely disgusting. Crinkle cut middle school cafeteria fries are also trash.

I've eaten here twice and ordered different things. The food is mid at best, smash burger isn't actually a smash burger and it's dry as the Sahara desert. Bun tastes stale and crumbles in your mouth. Not worth half the money it costs.

I would actually go 2.5 stars if I could. Really enjoyed the pork rinds that came with the pimento cheese but the pimento cheese was so salty it was almost inedible. I have never had anything so salty. The pretzels and beer cheese were good, not great. We also tried the fries with chorizo chili but it didn't taste like any chorizo we have had. My son had the jalapeno burger and the bacon or whatever it was was on it was more like deep fried pork fat and was so chewy he couldn't eat it and had to take it off the burger. Otherwise the burger was really good.
