“The place itself is endearing and conveniently located next to the hotel I stay at multiple times a year. And while the korean BBQ experience was new to me, the staff was extremely helpful and the food tasted amazing. Highly recommended for anyone looking to broaden their asian restaurant experience.”

“Our family went yesterday. So cute inside! Perfect location on river walk. Staff was extremely helpful. I got the honey lavender and it was seriously the best ice cream ever! Will be back!”

“Good pour over. Loved it!”

“Was working in Tuscaloosa and a restaurant with a two hour wait recommended the River. We had the steak filet and the seared tuna. Both dishes were absolutely amazing. The service was outstanding and the whole experience was just classy and comfortable. Brussel sprouts were on special for an appetizer, they were the best we’ve ever had. I highly recommend this restaurant.”

“Best sushi in town. Such a sweet family and wonderful restaurant all around! ❤️”

“Great food, friendly service, but slow kitchen.”

“I can’t recommend Session enough! My husband and I went to celebrate our anniversary and the staff went above and beyond to help us celebrate! They took our photo with a Polaroid and gave us a “Happy Anniversary” card. The customer service is beyond exceptional!”

“This is my favorite coffee spot in Tuscaloosa! The coffee is amazing, and their baked oatmeal, topped with sliced bananas, is absolutely the best. The friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere make it a perfect place to relax and enjoy.”

“Food and service is always great!”

“The building was extremely clean and neat, the service was fantastic, the price was unbelievably high. We only got chips, queso, guacamole & a pitcher of margaritas and it was $95.00 plus the tip. Unreal. There's so many great Mexican restaurants that provide chips and salsa free and a pitcher for less.
Thankful for the nice waitress, shocked by the price.”

“Wonderful experience. Food was fresh, fast, and tasty!

Our server, Sky, gave the most wonderful service! She was kind, attentive, and we never even needed to ask for anything. One of the best servers I've had at a restaurant!
Great Job Olive Garden and Sky!”

“My Cowboy Steak was cooked perfectly. Service was on point. Will be back.”

“A group of us Canadians came down and had a great time there. We were a party of 8 and showed up as a walk-in. The staff worked hard to make something work and find us a table. The food was delicious. Both the manager and owner took time to sit down with us and talk about Tuscaloosa, the football team and the University. I very much appreciated the effort Christian and his staff went to provide my friends and I with memorable dinning experience. Go to Sugo and Roll Tide!”

“Love this Heritage House. It’s a great place to grab a cup and snack to go or meet with friends over coffee and lunch. Staff is always friendly and helpful. They get your orders to you quickly.”

“High energy & amazing staff ❤️”

“The food, atmosphere and staff were all great. We enjoyed it when we had breakfast, then went another day for lunch. You get a lot of food for a good price. I say everyone who hasn't been needs to go.”

“Very relaxing atmosphere!”

“every since I first bought a Hunt Brothers pizza I was sold to deliciousness. I worked for pizza hut at the time and the second time I bought a Hunt Brothers pizza I told the clerks at the store the pizza to me is better than Pizza Hut. then I seen the sign in the window and found out Hunt Brothers has breakfast pizza and it's been a little over four years now and Hunt Brothers pizza is all I buy. what I love is taste, quality, price and fact the toppings don't cost extra. keep up the good work and keep the customers happy. Thank you Hunt Brothers.”

“I had breakfast for dinner. Now,I know so many think they're too upscale to go here, but those folks are missing out. When I walked in, it was VERY busy, the cook properly wearing a "Rock Star Cook" shirt. He looked really young, but DANG!!! He was slinging with the best of them! There was a crew of 4 and they were hopping the whole time! Either actively serving, cleaning, or organizing. Even for the couple of minutes when they weren't, they were looking for something to do! Oh, and the food was done to perfection. It only seems like you can't screw up breakfast until you've had floppy bacon, crispy eggs, and white or charred hashbrowns. And a heckuva LOT cheaper than fast food!
Do yourself a solid and try this place out. Or...go someplace and pay $20 plus tip...or go to fast food and pay $35 for the same amount of food.”

“James and Corey or (Korey) were the working at the time that I went. I went around 5ish today. They made sure we had everything my daughter and I asked for. They both were very friendly. I really liked the fact that the bathrooms were really clean especially with having a child.”

“Great food! Great service. Good music.”

“Our waitress Sheila made my twins day, she definitely makes sure to put a smile on everyone’s face and has an amazing attitude. If we are back in the area we would definitely go back to see her! All the employees were very friendly and greeted us with smiles! This is a great crew that deserves recognition!”

“My first Waffle House experience and it was fantastic! For starters, not only was the staff very friendly for an early Saturday morning, but they were all very polite as well. We sat down and ordered quickly, and our server was on top of everything. Our food came out fairly quickly and everything tasted great. I also paid attention to how friendly the staff was with the cool while they submitted orders and waited for their orders to go out. There was no shouting, they were polite, they weren't in each other's way and they were working quickly and efficiently. The cashier was sweet and friendly, and everyone thanked us as we left. I'm sure this restaurant gets very busy during the year, as they are on The Strip in Tuscaloosa, but I'm sure they're just as quick, efficient and awesome then as they were on an early Saturday morning. I will definitely eat here again next time I'm in Tuscaloosa, and hopefully all other Waffle Houses deliver the same experience as this one did. Thank you to everyone for such a great experience! ?”

“I enjoy the efficiency of this location. Management takes an active role in helping customers with any issues, and in general the workers have been very kind. This is the great Whataburger experience I’m used to as a Texas ”

“I don't usually rate fast food places but this is the cleanest, Whataburger I've ever been in. The breakfast was exceptional. The employees were super friendly and welcoming. Shout out to cashier Yvonne J.”

“I went through the drive thru on 15th Street in Tuscaloosa. First time in a long time, it seems as if you have to wait your whole lunch break. The food was hot and fresh, and the smile you received was the bright your best. Thank McDonald's”

“I took brakefast and was amazing, Service was great!!! Young lady that I asked for advice was really kind and patient, I had a good experience!!! I’ll come back!!!”

“Food was about as good as you would expect. I think the manager took my order and brought my food out. Listen to her talk to customers and noticed it seemed she was pregnant and remember thinking wow what an amazing lady. Wish the were more like her. She was super polite and very professional. She had two employees on break refusing to go back to work and even though she was pregnant and from the sounds of it working multiple jobs she remained calm and professional while I was there. Lots of folks could learn from her will definitely visit again.”

“We were in town for my mother in laws memorial service and my husband found this gem on google. I highly suggest this place to visit. We plan on riding our bikes down one day when we aren’t working to visit again. Service was top notch and the food is amazing. I suggest setting at the community table as we did to meet new folks. We set down by a gentleman and didn’t find out til he was gone that he was actually the owner of the establishment. The young lady that was our waitress was I believe either his daughter or granddaughter. It was a great experience.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼”

“Very high quality, locally sourced food. Employees were awesome, prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere is nice and relaxed.

Excellent restaurant for lunch or casual dinner.”

“Great place to eat! Lots of different options-it's the convenience of fast food but with tons of healthy options. Owners were great, they made some recommendations on what to try. I got the Philly Flatbread and it was delicious! Great protein coffee as well, we will definitely be back!”

“This is the 2nd or 3rd time I've been here, and every single time the food and coffee was so good! I got the open face avocado and the frozen vanilla coffee and it was gas. 100/10 service was nice and quick. I left happy and compelled to leave a great review it was that good 🫶🫶”

Flavaz was amazing, the food had SEASONING IN IT, LOL, Everything was fully cooked the customer service was great( cause that's the 1st thing i look for when I go out to eat). Please support them if you haven't done so already cause I will definitely be returning again and again and again!!”
