Reviews of Chris Z's (Catering Only)
A favorite breakfast and lunch place. Affordable, tasty food and good portions. The Big Nasty which is hash browns with a choice of meat and two eggs on top is highly recommended. A meal that will last you all day. If that's too much, they also offer a Little Nasty which is half size. Omelets are also recommended. Must try lunch sometime.
Tried the Chris Z dog, for breakfast yet. Highly recommended if you're a hot dog person at all. A large weiner is butterflied and grilled to brown perfection then placed on a bun and smothered in their special sauce and all the other trimmings. A super example of the Birmingham hot dog.
Recently raised rating from 3 to 4 stars. Consistently good.
I had the big nasty and it was great. Today was my first time trying this place.
Great homemade breakfast, prepared the spot, quickly. Very reasonably priced, will come for lunch one day
Great food! Great People! Feels like home everytime I walk in.
Good food at a good price. Greasy hole in the wall places, like this, will always be a favourite of mine. Straightforward, unpretentious, menu featuring burgers, sandwiches, hotdogs, and a few breakfast staples in sufficient portions at fair prices. Definitely worth a visit.
For those with allergen concerns: as of my visit here (7/January/2020), they fry using vegetable oil.
(Best to call and confirm before your own visit, just to be sure)
Great locally owned breakfast/lunch spot. I always make a point to get breakfast here when I'm in the area. Their food is always prepared fresh by smiling staff. From omelets and hashbrowns to hot dogs and burgers, their food always leaves me happy.
This was my 1st time eating here and it was great experience.. fast in and out process I had to cheese burger and u can tell they cook with love... my daughter had a hotdog with fries and she loved the fries and I did too.. only thing is they need more sitting room inside.. other than that everything was great
We ordered The Big Nasty (HUGE), Omelet Z (loaded meat omelet), & Smoked Sausage, Egg, & Cheese Biscuit. It was all delicious! To be honest I picked this place because they had a parking lot (needed on that day) (as opposed to street parking), which is hard to find in Birmingham! But I am so glad we chose this one. The staff was phenomenal! Diner atmosphere with great food. We will be back.
I absolutely love Chris Z's! I've had breakfast there several times and have never been disappointed. Their dish called "The Big Nasty" is the best breakfast dish served in Birmingham in my humble opinion. The only problem I have with it is it's size. It's a huge amount of food, but it's so good I can't stop eating until it's all gone and then I'm so stuffed I can't hardly move. I like to think I have self control, but "The Big Nasty" owns me!
I come here all the time. Awesome lunch as well. Down to earth nice local place. As for breakfast, if you like waffle house or classic breakfast joints, you might as well come here! Fresher ingredients, better quality, and same price.
This place was amazing. Like a mom n pop dinner. The food was perfect, breakfast tasted sooo good. We were headed back home out of state and they have us free brownies for everyone in the car for our trip. The workers there were so sweet and friendly and the food came so quick. Do yourself a favor and go there. You wont regret it.
So my experience was different this time. I ordered a philly cheese steak sandwich with fries and drink, and my boyfriend a hotdog. The total was 17.85 and the philly was not good whatsoever. The meat was dry and there was barely any meat and definitely barely any onions or bell peppers which is what makes a philly cheese steak sandwich. I am posting the pictures in the picture section and you will see that it's not worth even 4 bucks. Need to have a talk with the cook because my first experience was great, but that was breakfast so maybe that is why. My boyfriend's hotdog was a joke. It looked like a gas station hotdog but way worse. My 8 yr old can make a hotdog better then that. It was sloppy, thrown together without any care in the world. Bread was soggy and didn't taste good at all. Only reason I gave 3 stars is because of the first experience I had, but I can say they will only have one more chance to undo this bad experience. Also the lady at the cashier had an attitude because she couldn't understand that we didn't want a combo for the hotdog, only the hotdog. I would like a refund if at all possible because this meal wasnt worth the acid reflux that I'm getting from the overly greasy fries and hard meat from the phillysub.
One of my favorite breakfast spots in Birmingham. It's like a great home-cooked meal but I didn't have to do any work. The prices are reasonable and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. They make you feel like a regular on your first visit.
absolutely love Chris Z' everything is delicious. love Chris and the Cheesecake pie and cheeseburgers
Chris z is a great place for a burger or dog and several other great meals. Like the staff and location very convenient if your downtown. Updated 07/11/19. My wife has Cancer & we go for treatment every 3 weeks across street from restaurant. My wife looks forward to after treatment going to Chris Z and eating a hot dog for lunch. It has become our routine. Chris's sister who works there makes it a point to ask for a update when we come in & Chris always says hello. It's the small things that make a customer enjoy there visit at any establishment. I highly recommend the food but the level of service has always been top notch.
While at St Vincent’s a family lamented that the cafeteria was closed. I suggested the cheeseburger at Chris Z’s. I also ordered one for pickup for myself and was delighted at both the cheeseburger and the hand-cut fries! They never disappoint!
I got the ruben sandwich which is only served on Wednesday by the way and it was absolutely delicious! The corn beef is chopped making it easier to enjoy! They had the perfect amount of all ingredients! Will definitely go back!
So me and my brother pull into the parking lot
Now sure the place isn't much to look at in the city but it definitely gives you the GREAT SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY. Ms. Carla happily took our order. And definitely made us feel like home. And probably the best damn sweet tea in Alabama I ever had.
I have tried everything on the menu and everything is absolutely amazing! I love the fact they have breakfast available all day on Saturdays. If you want a great breakfast bring your family to Chris Z's. They also have the best phillys in Birmingham. If I could give 10 *'s I would.
Chris Z's is one of the best restaurants in Birmingham. The food is amazing. I recommend the Greek omlet and hash browns for breakfast and the Z Burger for lunch. The owner is delightful and the atmosphere is very cozy. The only issue can be parking because this is a popular spot.
Went in to Chris Z's for the first time this morning with a friend and immediately felt like family! The food was good, southern, comfort food and they gave me an extra big cup of coffee! I could not be more happy and will definitely be coming back again soon!
Started off with something simple: cheeseburger with bacon added and a side of fries. The burger was great, the fries were a bit over saturated and slightly overcooked. Nice, friendly people behind the counter and quick service. Will return, try something else, and give the fries another chance.
I've always loved this place, and have been going there since 2009! They have amazing burgers if you're looking for something a little different from your typical fast food place. It's a bit cramped and parking could be better, but if you can find a spot to get in, I highly recommend the Z Burger
Delicious...This is the cure of hangovers and a great cheat day meal...The Big Nasty🤗 …
Man, this place is awesome. A perfect little taste of Birmingham and how we do it around here. My friends and I meet up here every week for our Sat morning breakfast and it's the highlight of my day. My only problem is that I only first tried it this year. I feel like I got gypped out of so many years of great food!!😂 …
Really good spot. Burger was huge and tasted like an actual burger. The fries seemed hand-cut and are better than Five Guys. My only complaint is the limited hours.
Great hand cut fries. Red Diamond tea. And one of the best Reuben sandwiches I've ever had! It is busy at lunch today, but crowded with workers from all the other local restaurants. Haha. I'll be back.
Best classic cheeseburger! So glad to have found a place that makes great burgers in Birmingham! This is my new go to for a burger. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu.
I went with family after taking so long to decide; best decision ever! We went for breakfast and found the food was amazing and the customer service was even better. I personally would recommend their savory breakfast sandwiches!
Philly cheese steak was good, fries were okay. The little girl behind the register doesn't know the difference between fresh and pickled jalapeños. Apologies, I shouldn't have used "little girl". I should have said, young lady. I meant no disrespect, I have two of my own.
I ate it so fast didn’t have time to take a picture I’ll be back! It’s magically delicious with that at home love feel. If you stop by get a brownie crunchy outside and melt in your mouth inside mmmm good
No lie...this is the best breakfast in the city..the big nasty is worth every penny..what's better is the service they ALWAYS treat the customers with the utmost courtesy and respect..also dont forget a sweet tea...better than milos
Great food! I work down the road & literally eat here for lunch everyday! I have tried a few different things & it has all been delicious! It's sad they close at 3pm cuz I would come for dinner a few nights a week as well!
Love this place! I always eat here for breakfast and get the big nasty breakfast meal. It'll definitely fill you up.The food is good and the prices are good!
First time at Chris Z’s! Carly gave us a warm welcome and helped us decide what to order (I’m very indecisive and I love to eat) and we got the loaded tots which were AMAZING! Good thing to split with someone with a side of their homemade biscuit! I’ll be back
The place attracts all groups of people from students to professionals, and just three regular people that brighten your day with a smile or a few words. Carlie was very sweet and her service was genuinely exquisite. It was my first visit. I can assure it will not be my last. I will return!
Great food had been to Dr and was looking for a place to have breakfast. First time there but will not be the last. The service was very good and could not have been treated better.
First time stopping in, really nice people, food was fantastic had a philly cheesesteak and fries, sweet tea was the way it should be. Highly recommend stopping in if your in the area.
Good eats for breakfast and lunch. Nicely staffed and quick service. Can get a little busy, but that's expected as it's not the biggest place. They make up for it though. Give it a try.
Great burger, great bacon cheese fries, decent hot dog, and nice atmosphere. I love places like this. I look forward to going back and trying breakfast.
What a hole in the wall place! The food here is absolutely amazing! I had their cheeseburger with their special sauce and my boyfriend had one of their subs. Both were amazing.
Local feel with quick, good food. Very welcoming people. Go past BK and McD's and stop here. Just a bit more expensive but twice worth it.
I just went there this morning for breakfast and tried the big nasty and OMG that was delicious!! I would highly recommend this restaurant if you are traveling around Birmingham. You will not be disappointed😊 …
Amazing! Great food, great prices, and great service.
Expect to be greeted with a warm smile and a friendly hello. I had the Philly for the first time today... best in B'ham? Quite possibly.
Heard about this place a couple of days ago! Was told they had the closest thing to a Greek burger that we use to eat long ago in Lincoln, Al, had to come try it out and was not disappointed!!!!!!! Great burger fantastic service and will defiantly go back again and again!!!!!!!
Good mom and pop place. Will return. All workers nice and friendly and the food was great as well. They them out when u get a chance.. Its worth it..
Might be my new favorite breakfast spot. The "big nasty" hash browns are a must as well as the breakfast plate. Can't beat the price. Nothing fancy here in the décor it's a true diner.
This is one of the hidden gems in Southside Birmingham for lunch. Some of the best Philly steak or chicken in town, and a very friendly staff. Definitely check them out.
Heard about this place last week so we went to Birmingham last Thursday and tried it!!! It was so good we had to go to Trussville today and left the Dr's office and went back to Birmingham to Chris Z's again before heading back home in Lincoln!!!!! Fantastic food and fantastic service!!!!!!
Incredible patty melt. Great local atmosphere. Glad to live across the street from this place. I can't wait to try out the breakfast.
Super friendly staff, great food! I come here almost every workday for breakfast, I'm particularly fond of the 'Big Nasty' 🤗 …
Wow needed a quick breakfast for family. Had the chicken sandwich and burger. Great food and service.
First visit to this homestyle diner. I loved The Big Nasty Hashbrowns. Staff was friendly and helpful.
At Chris Z's, you get the classic hamburger/hotdog stand experience: fast, courteous service, and great-tasting food. It's a Birmingham favorite.
Always delicious. Chris Z's never disappoints. Enjoy their new outdoor dining area. Ask about their daily specials.
Their breakfast was awesome i like that its cooked to order and you can order just what you they way you want it. I will definitely go back.
Everything I have ever eaten at Chris Z's has been delicious! Whether breakfast or lunch it's all yummy 😋 …
First time at Chris Z's and it wa fantastic. Great food, great service and we really enjoyed the atmosphere!!! Highly recommend..
Great place with outstanding food. Always a great breakfast. Congrats for being there 16 years. Here's to 16 more.
Great place for breakfast or lunch. Hamburgers, hot dogs, fries, slaw, etc. Good atmosphere, great service, delicious food.
Small place with great breakfast. "The Big Nasty" hashbrowns are a meal in itself and are wonderful. Staff is friendly.
The Big Nasty is a heavenly blessing to all those looking doe a righteous breakfast (most especially a savior to the hungover). Great food and great people!
They catered lunch for our law firm last year and it was awesome so I stopped by again and the burger was really great. Will make this a regular spot now.
The drug reps at work always bring us lunch from here and the chicken sandwich’s are the best I have ever eaten. Can’t wait to stop by for the first time.
A warm welcome as I traveled through ... get place to stop when on a long road trip. If I lived there I would be a regular. Great prices
Chris Z's is AWESOME!!! I love the Big Nasty. It is huge and delicious. I will be back for seconds.
The food was good the service was quick and friendly, the only reason I didn't give 5 stars because I paid 13 dollars for the "special of the day" a six inch Cuban sandwich combo
Great as always. I eat there whenever I'm close at lunch time.
I come here pretty often for lunch. It's a great dive, but a little pricey. Still would recommend.
You can't make a bad choice there. Gorgeous omelettes, great bacon and smoked sausage, even feta cheese if you want it.
Always great food, friendly faces, and great place to eat, from the everyday norm.
Good burgers, great ice and nice people. Quality and quick, without being fast food. Local!
Great food!!! Extra friendly service. Oh and that ice is awesome, like little snow balls.
I eat here for the first time today I had the big nasty. Omg it was so good. I'm hooked.
Haven't been here in 10 years, still just as good as I remember. Had a burger and a dog since I couldn't decide between them.
Best burgers I've had in a long time. The meat is tender and delicious.
I have only been to eat breakfast, but i would highly recomend their loaded hashbrowns with the biscut
Great food . Great price. Very hot guys cooking your food. Can't beat it ....
Great burgers and hot dogs! No frills atmosphere but good food.
Friendly people and the food is so good. My husband and I will definitely be back!
They just cater. But delivery is marked on their Google account. Looks good in the pictures. Oh
Wonderful food, small and intimate. Three-Way (Burger, Dog and Fries) is amazing.
Tried my first Big Nasty. All other meals will forever pale in comparison. Thankfully this thing was so filling I may not eat again until 2020.
Very consistent! Breakfast and lunch are fantastic. Don't leave without eating a hotdog. Yummmm
Food was super cheap as it was their anniversary sale, but the food could have been a bit better.
Chris Z's is the most delicious and affordable meal around. You won't be disappointed.
Famous for their hot dogs and hamburgers... and well deserved fame. Not too much in the ambiance department.
They are awesome!! Their Big Nasty Hash browns are the bomb!! Been going here for years😊 …
