Who doesn’t love a thick, juicy hamburger with all the fixins? And fries? And an ice-cold Coke…or craft beer? Ok, we’re starving now, so let’s jump into the list of the best burgers in Birmingham.

5 Point Public House Oyster Bar

(Feature photo) For fresh Southeastern coastal oysters as well as sushi and more unusual items like alligator tacos, fried pork skins, unique burgers, look no further than 5 Point Public House and Oyster Bar. The new South-side hot spot boasts an eclectic menu that is the brainchild of award-winning chef/owner George Reis. The foods aren’t the only attraction, with more than 30 craft beers, 20 beers on tap and cocktails offered to pair with the food. The restaurant also has something unique to Birmingham—eight keg-style wines on tap to be served with dinner or enjoyed in the pub-style atmosphere of this local favorite.
