The bright star is the best restaurant around. I have been there numerous times and have never had a bad experience. The best thing for two is the sampler platter. It comes with steak, fish and chicken and two sides. It is plenty for two. Highly recommend to friends and family.

Like taking a step back in time. Although the restaurant is large, the atmosphere is relaxing and cozy. Service is top-notch and everything is clean. We tried three different entrees and the food was delicious. This is a "must visit" place.

We were a party of 16 with reservations. We were shown to our private dining area and treated graciously from start to finish. The meals were excellent. That goes without saying at the Bright Star. Several of our group had never been there before. They were delighted with the food and presentation and the always present, genuine hospitality of Jimmy and Nicky Koikos.

My first visit to this Legendary Restaurant was not disappointing. The menu is extensive. The service is impeccable. The food is wonderful! The atmospherewell, you just need to visit this historic landmark in central Alabama. I’m already planning my next visit for dinner. Lunch was wonderful!

Most of the food here is very good though VERY dated. If you thought resturant food was better in the 50s, this is the place for you because I think that's the last time they updated the menu. Still worth going for the ambiance and the history.

I recently got back from the coast and the Gumbo at the Bright Star was better than anything I got down there. The service was great and my daughter said the Broiled Sea-food platter was the best she had ever had. To my taste, the bread pudding can't be beat even in New Orleans. You get what you pay for at the Bright Star.

If the opportunity arises don't miss out on dining at this historical, 107 year old, restaurant, the oldest in Alabama. Treat yourself to the seafood gumbo, Greek styled beef tenderloin or fried snapper throats you will not be disappointed. The Bright Star is open for lunch and dinner and both menus are astounding.

Just celebrated our daughter's birthday with family at the Bright Star, knowing that we would not be disappointed. Service could not have been better as our waitress was very friendly and accommodating to our group. Food was served very timely and was delicious as always. Great experience, and our birthday girl was very happy too!

I had an outstanding lunch at The Bright Star on Friday. The restaurant was packed so I ate in the bar. The food was heavenly! I had one of the daily specials, which was a crab cake, broiled crab claws, and grilled shrimp on rice pilaf. As my two sides, I chose spinich casserole and the shredded cabbage with house dressing. The shredded cabbage is angel hair, and the dressing is sweet and savory. The crab cake was probably the best I've ever eaten. Crisp on both sides, and lots of flavorful crab inside. The crab claws were meaty and broiled perfectly. The rice pilaf was fantastic! The grilled shrimp we're the crowning touch and were scrumptious! I loved the spinach casserole which has cheese and a fluffy breaded texture. Both a dinner roll and corn muffin we're provided with butter.

I'm not sure why all the hype for the Bright Star. I have worked in Bessemer for 19 years and I can't say I'm all that impressed. When I eat there, it smells like old sour rags to me. Their food is good, not great, but overpriced to me. This is the go to place for my boss. I can't say I've ever eaten there on my own. When we've gotten take out orders, they always seems to be missing something of importance, such as rolls or dressing for the salads. Meh.

For a first time experience, this is now off my list of Birmingham favorites. Our server was rude at the start of our arrival. She continued to be very abrupt when my family and I made requests. Also, she wrote in on each of my guests tickets the amount of gratuity she felt she deserved. The amount was 20% or more on each ticket. She continued to act frustrated and impatient the entire exchange. The portions are small, especially on the seafood platter. I have had way better service at other local restaurants.

4 star, excellent food, great atmosphere and service. Great to have a meal in a place and still able to carry on a conversation. The music was great as well.

Attended wedding reception with about 40-50 others and was very impressed with the quality of service provided. Everything went very smoothly with great timing. No complaints

We ate here for lunch after our courthouse wedding next door. They were very nice and offered great service. The food was great too. Eating at this historic place was a great touch to our special day and I'm sure it will be here for years of anniversaries to come.
