We adore Ocarrs!!! The chicken salad is our absolute favorite for a delicious lunch. The atmosphere includes lots of beautiful artwork that creates so much interest and conversation starters. And the cheesecake is drool worthy!! We love having this spot in Homewood, go have a colorful lunch!! :)

O’Carr’s has been one of my favorite-favorites in all of Birmingham for several decades. Their dining room is super cozy and conducive to conversation, and their chicken salad and fruit plate is the absolute best in town!!
Their chicken salad is a Birmingham staple, and is both savory and sweet, with the biggest purple grapes! I just love it! 😋 I’m very picky about the freshness of my fruit, and they have never once disappointed! You get so many different fruits to try, the plate is just as beautiful as it is tasty!! They actually go to the local farmers market every-single-morning, to pick up their daily fruits! And if you order their specialty (chicken salad & __), it comes out within just a few minutes, as it’s made fresh daily.
The staff is great, and friendly, and the same people have been working there for years; I feel like that says a whole lot about management. It’s also usually packed at lunch, which says a whole lot about the food. O’Carr’s is conveniently located in the heart of downtown Homewood, walking distance from all the shops, and always a great place to stop for lunch (as they’re not open for dinner 😢), or just a slice of delightfully warm cheesecake! (Chocolate is my fave!) I haven’t figured out howww they make and serve it warm, but it’s a must-try!! You will not be disappointed.

I had a fantastic experience at O'Carrs! The food was absolutely excellent—every bite was a delight. The atmosphere was charming and quaint, giving the place a warm and welcoming vibe. While the service was okay, it didn't detract from the overall experience at all. I highly recommend giving O'Carrs a try!"

The old school classy lunch atmosphere was perfect for a late weekday afternoon lunch. Crowd was light at this time, but the place was definitely not deserted. Service was friendly. Food was amazing. Definitely enjoyed and would recommend for a nice lunch.
