Fife Restaurant
Fife was first established in 1959, and owner John Kostakis says he bought it from Mr. Fife more than 35 years ago and is still there. It serves a meat and two, with breakfast in the morning and lunch and afternoon dinner Monday through Friday, plus Saturday breakfast. Food and Wine named it one of the best diners in America it ate at in a mid-2026 feature, and Travel and Leisure has called it a best cheap eats pick. Bham Now describes it as a Birmingham institution near the downtown post office.
