Questions people ask about Birmingham prices

Which restaurant is cheapest in Birmingham? No single one, which is the point of the list. The dishes above are won by 7 different restaurants between them, and every card names the kitchen holding that price today, so the cheapest plate and the cheapest restaurant are rarely the same question.

How many menus is this from? 60 restaurants in Birmingham, Alabama. The prices here were read on 10 Oct 2026, with the oldest on the page from 28 Aug 2026. A dish reaches this page only once at least two different restaurants list it, so one kitchen's unusual price can never become the comparison.

Why is a dish I expected missing? Either nobody near here lists it at a published price, or only one restaurant does. The smallest comparison that did make the list is Parmigiana at 3 kitchens. Sizes and half portions are kept apart from full plates as well, so a side salad never sets the price for a salad.

Will I pay exactly this? Probably not to the cent. These are the prices each restaurant published on its own menu, before tax, tip, delivery or anything you add to the plate, and a restaurant can change one without telling anybody. Treat the figure as what the menu said on the date beside it.
