Major Discount GC Announcement!

Over the last 8 years, BirminghamMenus has been known for offering amazing deals to the best local restaurants in Birmingham. After specializing in restaurants for almost a decade, we’ve got some big news. We’re expanding our discount offerings beyond just restaurants! In May 2009 we launched a new website called www.bigbham.com. At Big Bham, every few days we’ll offer a BIG discount (think 50% off or more) to a great local business.

A Letter from Franklin Biggs

I am sad and glad to announce there are new changes coming to Homewood Gourmet, which will be effective the end of May. After a period of consideration, I have decided to sell Homewood Gourmet to a wonderful young couple, Chris and Laura Zapalowski. The style, service and staff of Homewood Gourmet will remain the same with the addition of new energy and new ideas, always a good thing to happen. Be on the lookout for more of the same great food and some wonderful additions to the menu.

We can’t wait to sit at their outdoor patio sipping Chianti while munching on their Baked Oysters Lovoy…

Online Stores Up and Running

Over the last year, several of our restaurants have decided to take their inventory online. They’ve asked BirminghamMenus to help them construct Internet storefronts where they can sell a wide array of items, from t-shirts to pottery to candy and more. We started by building a store for Hot and Hot Fish Club, and recently opened online stores for Everything Iz and Nabeel’s. These stores have amazing products, and by purchasing online you are supporting local restaurants and the Birmingham economy. Click the link below to read more about these stores, and to start shopping!
