The Fennec - Birmingham, Alabama

This place was really awesome! Their food was amazing! They had plenty of options for glutten free, vegetarian and meat. I particularly enjoyed the stuffed mushrooms and the crispy stuffed ravioli. The amosphere was perfect for after hours social conversations. The staff was friendly and effortlessly cleaned up used plates and utensils, ensuring everyone was free to continue the social experience. It was all so natural and pleasant. The mood lighting and architecture really helped to further engage and freely roam from conversation to conversation. The entire building seems to exude a sense of rich history. If you need a place for a company after hours bar scene social event, This is the best space and place I have ever seen for such an event. Good job guys, keep up the good work!!

Planning a wedding and reception can create a lot of stress, but working with The Fennec to host the reception did not. Ramona, Chef John and their team did an outstanding job executing a detailed plan we curated together. The lighting, band, dance floor, bar area, food and so much more all made for a memorable evening! Highly recommend using the private upstairs dining areas (The Social and The Cypress) for events!

I have eaten here before, and the food was decent, if a bit overpriced.

However, the owner/management clearly do not care about anyone other than themselves since they park their cars in the crosswalk every single day. It's these same two cars. I have seen them outside arguing with city officials about it when they were issued tickets for it, yet they still keep doing it.

I'd reconsider before going somewhere where the owner does not hesitate to make life harder for pedestrians (especially those with disabilities) when they could easily park in the public lot across the street or use one of the many available street spots and walk 10 more steps to work.

We had a work event at The Fennec recently and it was fantastic. This was the first time I had ever been there and everything about the experience was great. The communication while reserving the space and booking the catering was top notch. The set up was done with such excellence and the food was delicious. I would highly recommend The Fennec as a venue should you ever need one in downtown Birmingham, Al.

Great food and atmosphere. My husband raved about this place as a bar but it is so much more. The Fennec recently acquired a new Chef and he did not disappoint. We stopped in on a Saturday night and were seated in the Fox Hole Lounge which afforded us the opportunity to hear the live music, pretty good BTW, yet have a conversation. The food was delicious! My husband loved the wings and peppers, I really enjoyed the Winner, Winner chicken dish. Service was great and atmosphere had an old vibe yet was modern in a way.
We have been in Birmingham, AL for almost two years and this is was by far the best dining experience we have had. We were so pleased we stopped in for brunch the next day. The Bloody Mary, made with Beckly’s Pickle Vodka (Beckley is a friendly woman who works at the Fennec and who partnered with Redmont Vodka to make a delicious Pickle Vodka ❤️) was so delicious.
I have food allergies but the server and kitchen were great and easily accommodated my needs. (Thank you)
It is a week later and I am still looking forward to my next visit. ☺️

My wife and I really enjoyed our first time dining at this establishment. We were greeted by a smiling hostess & she was eager to give us a quick tour when she realized that we had never been there. We decide to dine away from the main hall and enjoy our evening in the Foxhole Lounge. Our waiter & bartender went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable... Considering that they had a national recording country music artist (Jamey Johnson) in their establishment as well...we were still part of top priority as customers as well. My wife even got a drink named after her...so go order The Courtney! We will definitely be back in the near future.

Was recommended I should check out this place called The Fennec so well I did. I have never heard of or seen this place until I was told about it and now I'm like why didn't I know about it sooner?!

The atmosphere itself was awesome with a nice bar, live music, nice looking stage and dance floor and yes a disco ball! Great place to hang out and eat good food.

The staff was top notch our waiter was so great. We had to wait almost an hour for our food only because the kitchen was backed up with a huge parties order. We didn't complain once we totally understood. But this waiter was on his A game!

Even though we waited nearly an hour for food we were not disappointed the food came out hot and fresh everyone at their table loved the food they got but you know me I order neutral unless I'm recommended something in particular.

The burger I got was legit cooked perfectly I ordered it medium well and that's what I got a hot juicy burger. However there was literally no seasoning on it salt and pepper would have took this thing sky high. Wasn't a huge fan of the kaiser roll but that's just me being picky at that point I personally just wouldn't use that but it was toasted perfectly so no complaints. I will say I ordered bacon on the burger and only recieved one strip of bacon on it and I found that to be very odd. HOWEVER the burger gets a solid 7.9 out of 10 from me. Having some salt and pepper would have had it in very high 8's

The fries were fries crispy salty good to go no complaints.

The wings I personally think $15 for 6 wings is a bit much but they do give you 6 jumbo sized wings with fries and ranch. I ordered the hot honey wings. These wings were so hot when they came out and had a nice spicy and sweetness I just loved. But once again they clearly weren't seasoned. Some seasoning salt would have set these bad boys off! Wings get an 8 out of 10 from me. Had they been seasoned definitely a 10.

We also got the Churros for dessert these things were so good it came with 4 churros covered in cinnamon sugar, chocolate drizzle, strawberry, and chocolate ice cream, oh and on the inside of the churro it was filled with caramel. All that and it still wasn't overly sweet. Definitely 10 out of 10!

I highly recommend you go check this place out its well worth it. The portions a appropriate and you are getting what you pay for including live entertainment. I'm coming back to this place and I'm bringing more people with me. If you haven't been here please go check this place out!
