              AFTER that we scurried onto BIRMINGHAM !!!!!!!!!!! 
 
 
We had plans to do a certain thing --NIKI'S WEST -- but we got side tracked and ended up at the

BIRMINGHAM ZOO..



so it was an IMPROMPTU day and it was


 
 
FANTABULOUS !!!

                  We went to eat at    
 
Niki's West, a well known restaurant in Birmingham.  

AFTER THE ZOO...

Niki’s West
 
Let me tell you....it was WELL WORTH IT...
 
Charlie had liver and onions..Now don't faint..I know, a lot of people don't like liver and onions, but honey, these were not bad...They were good...When people can make liver and onions taste good...They got something going on... :)  He also had Cucumber salad --YUM, and Coconut Crème pie...(TO DIE FOR) I forget what else..Now on to mine.  haha
 
Well when I got up there (My eyes were bigger than my stomach, as my Mother used to say)  I had ordered more than I thought before I knew it, and I had TOO MUCH FOOD)


 
 
I ordered Greek baked chicken, mac n cheese, turnip greens, pinto beans, broccoli, and of course you have to have a dessert-- so I got cherry pie (YUMM)
 
 
 
They have been serving the greater  Birmingham, Ala., area since 1957.

 
 
Owners, Pete and Teddy Hontzas, are second generation owners who took over the business from their father, the late Gus P. Hontzas.   This place has some GOOD FOOD.....
