Another bestseller is the smothered chicken which is smothered in queso and turnip greens, and the result is fantastic.
Masaman Thai Kitchen in Birmingham, AL isn’t the only restaurant in the city that serves authentic Thai food. But for a growing number of folks in Vestavia Hills and nearby areas, it has become the place for takeout Thai food.
Ambience
Masaman Thai Kitchen only has a few tables so about 15 guests may be accommodated at a time. This is why most people order food to go.

Short History
The history of Highlands Bar & Grill began with Frank Stitts. He developed his culinary skills in France and California and then came back to his native Alabama as a 28-year old restaurateur in 1982. His focus on Southern cuisine began many decades before it became trendy throughout the country.
He was imaginative and was able to present Southern fare in more innovative ways. He used mushrooms and slivers of ham to pretty up his baked grits. He served red wine with red snapper and ham hock sauce. He offered flounder along with lady pea succotash.
Not surprisingly, the reputation of his restaurant grew, and now Frank Stitts owns 3 highly regarded restaurants in Birmingham. But the Highlands Bar & Grill remains the most famous.
