Welcome to Helen
Located in downtown Birmingham, Helen is a contemporary Southern grill led by Chef Rob McDaniel and his wife, Emily. Since opening in 2020, Helen has been recognized by Esquire, the MICHELIN Guide, and the James Beard Foundation. Inspired by Rob’s grandmother and centered around cooking over hardwood coals, Helen is a place to gather — to share a meal and linger at the table.
