A Bright Star for Birmingham

If you’re moving to Birmingham from out of area, we’ll make one pledge right out of the starting gate if we wind up helping you with your purchase of a home.

Any restaurant that has been open for business for over 100 years continuously has to be doing something right.

Colleen and I visited The Bright Star last evening and, as usual, owner Jimmy Koikos was making the rounds to each table, checking to be sure that his customers are getting meals and service that will make them want to return.
