This place has been around forever and for good reason. Awesome home cooking and reasonably priced. Where else could you go for lunch thats no more expensive than McDonalds, way higher quality and the drive thru is faster!

Great food wonderful atmosphere and service was amazing. My husband been here several times but I haven't, so I decided to try and enjoyed everything. This was very friendly and peaceful.

We love finding places like this while traveling. Home cooked meals quick and easy. From the salad to the dessert thumbs up!

I've been coming here for over 20 years. For a country home cooked meat and three. No place is better. The staff is friendly and the pace is quick!! Fried Okra, Squash Casserole ... best there is!!

Been wanting to try this for a long time. I can critically(costructively) say that some portions were too small for the one-time cafeteria type service. But the staff and atmosphere were comfy. Nothing fancy. The food was seasoned well. Not surprised when seeing the seasoned cooks! lol! No long wait to be served when we arrived right about 11:25 a.m. Parking is tight and crowded. Getting your food to go and drive-through are great options. I will return.

Takes you back to 1985. Great old time home cooking. You wont be disappointed.

The Paw Paw Patch serves home grown food served cafeteria style. You get a meat and 2 veggies for $9.99 but you can add additional veggies for $1-$3. I got fried chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy, macaroni and cheese, and slaw. My husband got the hamburger steak, okra, and butter beans. It was all fantastic-tasting, homemade southern food. The majority of the crowd here is senior citizens, but that usually correlates to good and cheap, which this definitely does. We will be back. 10/10

Excellent southern style home cooking. The food is delicious, hot and secured with a smile. I just started working in Bham and this is my new lunch go to!

A colleague and I went through the drive thru for some lunch. It was right at noon and the parking lot was packed. Even so, we ordered our meals and had them in hand within a couple minutes. The staff at the window were very pleasant. The food was delicious! I had one of their Wednesday specials: meatloaf. I got the squash casserole (yum!), fried green tomatoes (yum yum!) and the jalapeño cornbread (triple yum!). The portion sizes are generous. I paid $11.37 with tax. This was my first meal from this spot but I’d definitely go back.

I came here almost 5yrs ago while traveling from up north. This week I had a chance to revisit this place. The atmosphere was good, service was okay... I personally love a waiter that's friendly and welcoming but we didn't get that experience This time. I still tipped her though. 2 plates for $25 kinda pricey considering one was a kids plate. The receipt don't break down the price either. That's kinda suspicious to me but that's neither here nor there today!! Food could've been better this time. Mac was overcooked but tasty and chicken was very dry (overcooked) but tasty. Overall I'm not discouraged from coming again to have a third experience. I dont eat pork or care for fried foods so more options would've been nice for people like me. Maybe baked chicken would've been good since they was serving fried pork chops. A balanced between foods are important especially for a foodie.

Average meat and three restaurant. Good selection of foods--nice variety. Taste is on par with other local restaurants of the same type.

We had a great time. The restaurant was very clean, service was fast and the food was awesome. I could not cook this for the price. We go several times a week now.

I ordered the chicken wing plate, with double Mac and cheese. That Mac and cheese taste like someone grandma made it. It was so good. Oh the wings was good too but that Mac took the win.

Cafeteria style. Small menu. But everything is got tasted good. I was looking for a diner and found this place. Hit the spot.

If you can find a parking spot, you timed your arrival perfectly. At lunchtime the lot is almost always full.\n\nFor those lucky or patient enough one of the top meat & three in Birmingham awaits.\…

A little disappointing tonight tastewise. Service was exceptional as always.

The peach cobbler did not meet my standards. Very little flavor. The peaches weren't cooked enough for me. The meatloaf was ok. I just expected more for an Alabama diner... restaurant.

Cole slaw was bland terrible, bland is an understatement. Service was bad, sat with empty glasses 1/2 way through the meal . Some of the food was good. I thought expensive for what we received.

I rarely leave reviews, but after receiving raw chicken not once, but twice, I feel obligated to share my experience. I visited The Paw Paw Patch with high hopes based on local word-of-mouth. Unfortunately, what should have been a comforting Southern meal quickly turned into a serious food safety concern. The first time, I cut into the chicken and noticed it was pink and undercooked in the center. I politely sent it back, expecting a quick fix. When the replacement arrived, everything seemed fine. But I had leftovers which I decided to warm up tonight and was shocked to find that it too was undercooked — visibly raw in spots. At that point, I decided not to take any further risks and left the meal unfinished. Staff were courteous and did apologize for the first experience but this kind of oversight twice is not only unacceptable — it’s dangerous. Serving undercooked poultry poses serious health risks, and for it to happen twice in one visit raises serious questions about kitchen practices. I hope management takes this as a wake-up call to improve food safety protocols. Until then, I can’t recommend this restaurant, especially for dishes involving poultry.
