Life Touch Massage was blessed to have the opportunity to be served by Chef Andrea Craig Foster and The Preservery Bham Restaurant at our annual meeting. Andrea is a gracious chef with delicious cuisine. We were served Jerk Chicken, Forbidden Rice Pilaf and Plantains Foster which were all excellent. My first time having plantains and they were so good. At another event held at Negro Southern League Museum I had the opportunity to experience Preservery’s Gumbo. This was hands down the best Gumbo I have ever tasted. The Preservery Bham restaurant has the best southern style gourmet food along with a friendly and talented chef. What more can you ask for?.
Chef Andrea is able to transform food into dishes that are comforting and refined. Have you ever had food that makes you close your eyes and meditate on the flavors so that you can savor the experience?? Well, Chef Andrea and the Preservery Bham provide memorable food offerings that you'll want more and more. Her gumbo transports you to New Orleans; the Jerk chicken, forbidden rice, and plantains are Caribbean delights; her chicken meatballs and beautifully dressed salads are light and refreshing....but don't take my word for it. Create your own food memories with Chef Andrea and the Preservery. I highly recommend it!
The owner is phenomenal. Very energetic which is reflective of the creativity in your dishes. She offers a diverse array of foods and each dish truly reflects the culture it represents. We had a gumbo dish as well as a Caribbean chicken with plantains. We are excited about the opening of their new location. We will frequent this place for our dinners, lunches etc.
Amazing lunch of gumbo and banana pudding from The Preservery's new home at the Pizitz. Tastes amazing, and you can tell it's made with love and a passion for southern soul food. A must visit is you're heading downtown!
Fried chicken, collard greens and mac and cheese are so good. The staff was so friendly.
Had the Caesar with grilled peaches and shrimp. Amazing. Nicest people and I wish them the best of luck!
So glad that I crossed paths with Chef Dre!!! If you haven't been to The Preservery...get there; you are missing out!!!!! I've tried everything on the menu and it all is FANTASTIC....really! Hell, her pickled okra is good and I hate okra. I'm from Nashville in Bham temporarily and EVERY time I get a visitor,I had Chef Dre's way and she delivers on taste, experience and service!!!!! #supportthisbizness #delicious #soulfusion

Random walk in. We were in the area and thought it looked like a nice place. We ended up having some excellent fried and dry-rub coated fried chicken meal and an excellent cheesecake/sweet potato pie dessert. We've added this to our list and will definitely come back when we are in town again. I believe his name was Ian who provided excellent help and suggestions.
