The Prive Birmingham Reviews
Went to 2 different locations before visiting Prive/Palace. You get entry to the restaurant for free and the club in back for $10. Security will check you before entering and parking spaces were nice. The bartender was very nice and the people eating were also very nice. We ate wings, fries, catfish nuggets and had some drinks in between visits to the back club
Great Food. Great People!!! Great Atmosphere!!! The people here are super friendly and extremely helpful. The staff is always on point! Always smiling, always friendly, always greeting me as I walk through the door. The bartender is always smiling; she has one simple question… The usual? I say yes, and she starts making my drink before I get to my seat. The food is top-notch. The wings are great, and the grilled pork chop sandwich is by far the best in Birmingham. It doesn’t matter what time of day or night I go; the food is always cooked to order. Always hot, always fresh! The young lady in the kitchen smiles and waves as she prepares my meal. Just a few minutes later, in front of me is a Great drink and a Great meal! The place is Always clean, the staff is Always friendly, the Food is Always delicious, and the drinks are Always flowing! After you finish your meal, walk across the parking lot to the cigar lounge and enjoy a VIBE! More great people and another great atmosphere! Sometimes there is a game on and spirited conversation, and other times it's just a bunch of GROWN FOLKS enjoying a great kick back! Next time you are in Birmingham, stop by the Prive…. Tell’em Larry sent Ya!
Each time I have gone there it has been a great experience.
Great place,clean,friendly atmosphere, good vibes,nice people,good food,& drinks.
Grill Shrimp Salad was the best. Thank you for an excellent meal.
It was taco Tuesday, and I had shrimp taco. Food is always amazing when I go there
I highly recommend The Prive hands down. It has a variety of entertainment options. They have great drinks, good food and amazing staff. Stop by the Prive to see what they have to offer.
This place was hard to find and it was after midnight so it was one of the few places open maybe the only thing open. The food is top notch, like 5 stars, very impressive.
Always great service and the food is amazing!!!
Went to lunch for my birthday on a Sunday. The food here was awesome. I can't wait to return to Memphis again to enjoy this wonderful soul food. I really enjoyed the fried catfish and sweet tea.
Let me tell y'all about the catfish nuggets and the okra. Baybee...it's somebody uncle back there frying these bad boys. I have also had the wings and the waffles, it was good as well. The BBQ riblets are SLAP THE COOK GOOD!
WHO EVER GOT THEIR GRAND-DADDY BACK THERE COOKING THESE RIBS.. THIS DONT MAKE NO SENSE.. THESE RIBTIPS ARE SO TENDER, JUICY, WELL SEASONED, AND COOKED TO PERFECTION.... MANNN... WE SHARED ONE SERVING BETWEEN 3 PEOPLE AT WORK.. WE WILL BE GOING BACK FOR THESE RIBLETS AGAIN.. AND THE CHEF SALAD WAS VERY NICE AS WELL.. THANKS IN ADVANCE..
Best late night place in Birmingham to get great food.
Excellent Service. Phenomenal Food. Safe Environment. Great for first dates and friendly gatherings. The patio is amazing most of the year, even in the winter (when temps are not figid). There is also an event center for rental purposes. Love the Steaks and the Shrimp and Grits.
Good service food friendly employee like crowd bars and service. Great time passer
Good food and service. Good spot to have a gathering with friends.
The food was amazing… this is the best shrimp and grits I’ve had in Birmingham. It’s reasonable too unless your ordering a drink. I asked for a apple crown and cranberry which was only ten dollars, which I thought was a deal until she gave me a Mouthwash sized cup and it still had ice??? I wish I was exaggerating… I didn’t even want to stay after that… I would only recommend for takeout.
The bartender on the bar side was TRASH! Absolute! It was my first time seeing her there but she is the reason for the review. I sat at the bar for 15 minutes before she said a word. Slow moving and totally disinterested. 🤢 If the bar on the club side wasn't open I would have left after that first drink. Customer service is not really a thing in black owned businesses! They don't act like they are happy you are there...they act as if we are supposed/have to be there. Sick of it and would rather not spend my money there. unfortunately you're going to get the same service at every strip club on the west side. A good bartender (no matter her physical appearance) will have you digging in your pocket all night because they set the tone.. A bad one will send your customers home.
