“Delightful breakfast, brunch and lunch restaurant on the Black River. The atmosphere was very laid back and chill, menu was simple but offered enough choices that I looked over it 3 times prior to ordering my omelette. I will definitely be going back the next time I'm in town. The waitress Asia was fantastic, she stayed on everything and was super polite, friendly and soft spoken with classic Southern draw. I will definitely sit in her section during my future visits. Thank you for the experience.”
“It was my first time there i ordered the killer omelet.It was awseome.Everyone there was kind and friendly an easy going happy enviroment.Great for kids also.Can,t wait to get back.”
“My favorite restaurant in town! I eat here as often as I can. Every single item I’ve tried from the menu turns out to be my new favorite! Best burgers in town, the fried catfish is fantastic! This last trip I tried the Fish & Grits…it was unbelievable! One of the best meals I’ve ever had. The staff and owners are friendly, atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, prices are reasonable. Urban Bar & Kitchen can’t be beat!”
“10/10! The food was delicious! We were stationed in Germany years ago and this brought us right back! Authentic German beer & food. All homemade breads that were amazing. My son's girlfriend ordered the hot mustard and they came out and asked her how spicy she wanted it because they made it to order. She said it was great! We ordered the Jagerschnitzel, Gyro plate and bratwurst with sauerkraut. The ownertended bar and also played accordion and guitar! We will definitely be back!!”
“Person who checked me out talked me into trying the jalapeño with cranberries. Instead of trying , I bought them both as well as just the jalapeños one. Loved them both. Check out person should be a sales person how well she talked me into the 2nd item.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Perfection! I found this place 3 weeks ago. I've been three times and brought my family too. Spicy miso and black garlic ramen, cream chz squid balls, yum. Pork buns and gyoza good. Very consistent!”
“Luxury dining with welcoming folks in a warm environment. The staff worked like they enjoyed it and were there to make our night special. And it was. Blackened swordfish met every expectation. Even better when paired with the recommended Pinot Grigio. A great place for celebrating, making memories, and indulging”
“Today was my first time coming, and the atmosphere was great. The food was extremely fresh and amazing. Not only was the food good, but the customer service was extraordinary. I would definitely be back, and recommend others to come as well.”

“Well, it's not Papa D'Angelo's on the Embarcadero, Fisherman's Wharf with the salami & mortadella hanging all over. That's why I gave it a 3 for Atmosphere. But as usual, the food is very good, and our waitress couldn't have been better. I should have tipped her more generously, in fact. The bill was less than I expected, so I should have tipped better. I can honestly say, I've never NOT enjoyed the food at Olive Garden. I'm a Chef, so that's saying a lot! I make many of their dishes at home, especially the Zuppa Toscana. Mine may be slightly better, but maybe not! Enjoy!”
“First class brewery. Servers were knowledgeable, friendly, and hard working. Beers were great! Got to meet some regulars, as well as the owner. Great time! You can’t go wrong here!!”

“we found this place on a whim parents weekend. So glad we did. The food was phenomenal and service was just as great. They got a big crowd all at once and never wavered with their service. Such a neat place! good music too! Even my college aged daughter said she would have to make it one of her spots to frequent. Definitely give them a visit. You won't be disappointed!”

“Por mi trabajo recorro muchos lugares y tuve la oportunidad de degustar en Antojitos Izcalli unas quesadillas riquísimas. Mis amigos pidieron Pambazo y Gordita y todo nos encantó. Les aconsejo pasar por ahí, no se van a arrepentir.”

“Foosackly's is a great place to get quality tenders with quality sauce. It has always been fresh when I've been, and I love the different sauces. The bigger box is a lot of food for a decent price, and I would definitely recommend.”
“Everyone is always so nice when me and my friend goes to the midtown location! We live almost 45 minutes away and always choose this place to get our boba tea from! Friendly atmosphere and clean facility! My go-to drink is the brown sugar boba tea!”

“Love the grocery portion of this place. Enjoy the food every time. This isn’t a fancy place so don’t expect that but it’s consistently good and affordable.”
“5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thai Basil Sushi II of Tuscaloosa has excellent food and service. We are thankful to have a Thai restaurant in downtown Tuscaloosa. Please support this small business!”
“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.”
“Very cute inside! I got a Toffee Coffee and the flavor was very good, not sure what espresso roast was used in it but it tasted blond. Not a bad thing if that's what you like and I haven't had a chance to try the other flavors so they may have some stronger. You could also add another espresso shot the coffee was also ready quickly after I ordered.”
“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!”
“Omg, so much food. So delicious. Great price. This will be our new weekly curbside lunch pickup. Tempura chicken, shrimp and veggies. Yum Yum Thank you, Ichiban!”
“I have been to Heritage House so many times as a student in Tuscaloosa. All the locations have a different vibe, but i especially love the Towncenter location because of its cozy, warm, eclectic atmosphere. The service is always great and I usually never have to wait long for my coffee. I would say that the food is one of the best parts because they make their pastries from scratch and all of them are delicious! Their kitchen food is wonderful as well! I would recommend the breakfast burrito (put the jalapeño ranch on it) with turkey sausage and an iced caramel macchiato”
“I can’t say enough great things about 1225. Every experience we’ve had has been exceptional from the customer service, to the atmosphere, to the food and drinks. The restaurant is also locally owned versus having corporate ownership which allows for a more personal at home vibe where the owner is hands on and turnover is low. I highly recommend if you’re looking for an enjoyable time to share with family and friends.”
“We had sunday brunch here and the food was amazing! Best chicken and waffles in town. Our server was polite and efficient. The space in this restaurant is lacking greatly. On both sides of our table we had the people behind pushing us in. The space also echos a lot so we couldnt hear each other well so we couldnt really talk.”
“We visit every time we are in Tuscaloosa. The crunch wrap is my favorite. The drinks are amazing. Friendly service. Love the decor in the restaurant and the witty sidewalk signs!!”
“One of my favorite places to grab quick sushi. My favorite roll is the Godzilla and it’s always fresh. They are always extremely nice and helpful with our order. I’ve eaten here for years and it’s consistent which is a blessing when some places are not.”
“The food and ambiance were excellent and our server, Sydney, was very attentive and friendly. However the kitchen was rather slow to serve a burger and some BBQ chicken, which we had selected specifically because we were on a business lunch and had limited time. The dining room was mostly empty, so they could hardly be very busy. The food was very good when it came out though.Dietary restrictions: Both of us wanted to avoid dairy products and our server made it very easy for us to select appropriate choices from the menu.”
“Located atthe hotel Indigo by the riverfront . We came here to dine In . This hotel btw looks really cool too. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the rooftop seating with fire pit .Although a little too cold for me, we decided to dine inside. Blankets are available if you want to remain outside and enjoy the view. Inside there is a bar and very limited seating. The menu is small, the drink menu is not. There is a sign at the bar indicating that all drinks contain 1 1/4 oz of alcohol and if you want more or less you need to let the bar tender know. I ordered the chicken strips and fries, husband ordered the crawfish pasta and our friend ordered the flat ironedsteak and potatoes. Both my husband and I thought that the portions were on the small side. The steak was ordered medium rare and that is exactly how it arrived. Pasta was delicious, fries perfect and chicken done well. We cleaned our plates. Gin and tonic ($10) was weak . Our fault we didn’t see the sign until later.”
“I have ate here several times before and it was good but I can say tonight was absolutely the best steak and shrimp I have ever had. Great Job Texas Roadhouse and service was wonderful!! And this is the first review I have ever left at any restaurant ever!”
“The take-out was very good. I had the Wonton-Eggdrop Soup, Beef and Broccoli with Fried Dumplings. Hot and delicious. I've gone here a number of times when staying in Tuscaloosa for work.”
“Love the grocery portion of this place. Enjoy the food every time. This isn’t a fancy place so don’t expect that but it’s consistently good and affordable.”

Catch 22
“Great place to hang out with friends. It's a small cozy place so you may need to show up early in the night to get a good seat but otherwise wonderful environment great staff and great service.”
“I have eaten at Southern Ale House for years, and recently this past weekend on 10/28 had them cater the dinner for my wedding. Every single time, Southern Ale House has provided an amazing meal with great taste and beautiful plating. I highly recommend them, and I truly think they’re a staple and a must-try when in Tuscaloosa.”

“The short stocky guy that took my order seemed to be either very sleepy or high. He was acting very lethargic. He did get my order right and was curious. However, it just seemed he was barely hanging on.”
“I had a HB Pizza for halftime of the-Alabama Game and it was delicious. I think that HBPizza is my goto pizza from now on. The best thing is that they are everywhere and the Quality and quantity is the same no matter Which of the 8000 locations that you go to.”
“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!”
“I may have found the most efficient multi-tasker that is the master of his game running the grill at the 5001 Skyland E Blvd, Tuscaloosa, AL 35405location. I always sit at the bar to watch the show and he effortlessly handled a full house plus to go orders single-handed. No wasted movements, everything was calculated and executed like poetry in motion. Keep this guy and promote him to train other locations at the corporate level.”
“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! ?”
“General Manager is absolutely beautiful Lautonia Lewis and her store and crew reflects her professionalism. I came in this morning and bought boneless wings and a grilled chicken sandwich. Both were delicious.”
“Cassiee was my server, she was great had excellent customer service she served my food with care and gave me everything I needed to enjoy my meal. I went 12/11/23”
“April at McDonalds has a GREAT and warm personality. I very seldom eat out but, she is a face I look forward to visiting again. My food was hot and fresh which is ALWAYS a treat!”
“Ok update, tight pants had to go back to Mexico because he hit his girlfriend there.3rd shift (10-6)am. Is great because the new manager lady is very friendly and understands what is going on. They still need to tell the girls working there not to eat the fries out of the fries station. Other than that it's great.”
“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!!!”
“The manager was an absolutely great person and gave us exceptional customer service when they were backed up on orders. That is how you treat a customer, extremely happy with my experience.”
“Love Ms. Maya!!! So friendly and got every tiny detail of my order right with no reminding or asking. On point friend!!! The rest of the staff who had no reason to even glance my way with their busy selves all did so anyways and I got big bright GENUINE smiles all around. You guys brightened my morning!! Thank you so much!!! Oh yes and let me add that they were on top of all the numerous orders too!! Super fast service. Super busy in and out of store but had time to pay personal attention to me. I was just some rando unknown older lady to them. Great team right there!! You guys are what perfect service is all about. THE textbook example. Way impressed!!! Whoever monitors your socials please show this special morning team this review. You are blessed to have this team for real. Recognize them in some special way because that staff is full of keepers my friend. Lucky to have each one of them. And let me also add... I rarely review and I'm now I'm even a bit late for work for taking the time to do so. I have zero cares or regrets about that because this review needed to be here. I didn't want to "do it later" or forget and not do it at all.”
“Burned out on holiday food, my son and I wanted something different on Christmas afternoon. Looking for anything that may be open, we found Sonic packed! They were handling the crowd with ease (thats the impression that I got). Our food arrived within 5 minutes. Everything was fresh and prepared exactly as ordered.”
“5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thai Basil Sushi II of Tuscaloosa has excellent food and service. We are thankful to have a Thai restaurant in downtown Tuscaloosa. Please support this small business!”
“when I walked into this place, my expectations were not very high. there were not many people there, except for the bar which may be a little skeptical at first, but we were hungry. we sat down and had the pleasure of meeting Jonathan who took care of us and made all of the recommendations including the uptown chicken which is an absolute must. in fact, I liked it so much that I asked for sauce on the side for my cheeseburger and fries. I know the reviews here average about a four, but I have to give it a five just based on the simplicity of the menu, the service, and the two items that I ordered. I also had a margarita which was on point. however I did make a change to the recipe and asked him not to put pineapple in it. Overall, I was extremely pleased with the place and I can't wait to go back for that uptown chicken. Oh, and by the way, by the time we left, the restaurant was packed.”

“Solid burger and good service. Would come back again for sure. If you're looking for good American bar food with a good ambiance this is a safe place to check out.”
“Tried for first time! Came in placed a to-go order. Was ready in 10 min max! The customer service was great and the food was on point!!! I will be back. Approved by a Louisiana native who loves home cooked food!!”
“The food was great, service was quick & friendly. The environment was nice. So to have all of this & eating healthy is a win for me. I’ll definitely be back soon.”

“Friday evening rush, but everything was good. I'm new to the area and I was told it's the best. It's definitely worth a visit. Don't forget dessert. Lemon cake and red velvet cake ... delicious ?”

“This restaurant was highly recommended by people I talked to around the city. The reason for the 4 stars for service is it took almost an hour to get our food after we ordered and the appetizer came with our food. If the server had communicated a reason for the delay, it would not have been so bad.Overall, the experience was great and I enjoyed the shrimp and chorizo fettuccine.”
“My family and I went twice during our visit and really enjoyed it. My daughter particularly loved the atmosphere and said she could envision coming back during future trips. My wife ordered the Cuban latte and loved it. My daughter and I ordered a made to order Honey-Lavender Iced Latte and it was delicious. I ordered an extra shot bc It wasn't dark enough at first. If you like strong coffee, I would suggest that. Overall, great coffee, ambiance, and service.”
“The staff is always so friendly and helpful. They answered my call with joy and more order was even ready for pickup long before the scheduled time. Always a great day visiting Nothing Bundt Cakes!”
“Awesome gyros Easy parking Drive Thru is an option Great option if you are looking for a casual place to dine! I tried this location during lunch on a Monday - the line was long and it didn't take much time to be able to order. I loved the gyro and fried okra. The fries were nice and crispy but I was not a huge fan of the cheese sauce or bacon bits used for the toppings. If I were to order fries here again I'd go the plain route. Definitely recommend trying this local spot!”
“Biscuits are elite! The biscuit that your grandmother intended for you to have at every breakfast. Pancakes and sausage are good. Hashbrowns were ok. Grits left something to be desired but forget all of that…. Go for the great college diner atmosphere and stay for the biscuits.P.S., I ordered a lot of food. $18 was my total. Great price for great quality.”
“This one cashier that works there is incredibly kind, Robby Hamilton.I was here for a visit, and all of the restaurants were crowded so I entered Mediterranean Sand co. I stared relentlessly at the menu until the words blended together, and I couldn’t tell what I was looking at. Robby Hamilton noticed my distress, and started to recommend things from the menu. Because of him I had a heartful lunch with my family.Robby Hamilton‘s beautiful heart and soul shined through his uniform that faithful afternoon. He provided us with extremely pristine service, and I hope to see him again very soon?????”

Drive-Thru Restaurants
“The biggest setback for us was the bartender swore a single was a double. There is no way what I got was a double. The price for alcohol is already up there, but to short change, a shot or half shot is ridiculous. Overall, everything was perfect. Go to the location next to academy sports if you plan to drink as they will give you your money worth of drinks.”
“Decided to go and eat here today, Trey was our server and i could not have asked for better! He was so kind and cared to our every single need and ask. I will definitely be back as long as Trey is there!!”
“The brisket sandwich was amazing. Our waitress was also amazing. My wife's chocolate pie was the best she said. I had the banana pudding, and it tasted freezer burnt. But I will try it again to see if it was just a one-time issue. But all and all great food. O ya the muffins are over the top ”
“Wings and fries were delicious. Wings beat out most of the “wings places in Tuscaloosa. Fries stayed crunchy the whole meal. We will definitely get our wings here from now on.”
“I go here periodically for lunch. They are always fast and efficient. Doesn't take but a second to get your order. Food is always good too. Nice clean store as well.”
“let me tell you the first thing that attracted us to this restaurant was the smell of BBQ!!! we get in, and at first I expected a sit down style restaurant where they seat you. What you have is you go to the counter and order your food. We both chose the spare ribs and fried green tomatoes, I had the potato salad and she got the Mac and cheese. Let's break this down.. the Mac and cheese was so good your could wat it by itself and be happy, the potato salad was just as good. The fried green tomatoes were good. The ribs were sooo tender and the taste without the sauce was very good very good season and good smoke flavor, add in the BBQ sauce and they are next level. This is a must go, not a possibility. A Must!!!!! we definitely enjoyed this meal, and your staff was just as amazing!”
“I got take out. I wanted one of the shakes but didn't see a list of flavors. I asked about flavors I liked, and the lady that helped me gave me two different options. She was patient with me and I can not stress how nice she was. Big Kudos! :-)”
“My friend treated me to breakfast today. I ordered a biscuit and gravy again. My friend ordered a Hardee's breakfast platter with bacon. It comes with grits, eggs, your choice of sausage, bacon, or ham. The grits were soupy and so was the gravy. The eggs are artificial but ok. The bacon was crispy. When the gravy is soupy, it's just not the same. I ordered a Frisco breakfast sandwich and it is nothing like the picture. There is hardly any meat or cheese on it. It's not much more than a grilled cheese sandwich, if that.”
“It was a whole vibe …….I decided to dine inFriendly people, fast and convenient it was clean. The people was cleaning the type of people that you wouldn’t mind cooking for you drive through was fast I was truly amazed how hard these people work & the food was fresh”
“2/17/24 between 12:30 and 1 o'clock. Had the nicest people working on this day! Especially the lady with the glasses on register that was pregnant!! Thanks again for the Fry's!!”
“Rachel took care of me she recommended the tuna sandwich her pleasant spirit glows I know customer service Been working in it for years. She won me over to start coming more often to JJ thanks for recommending the Tuna and I love Tuna... Also the sandwich is super Good ?Huey2-8-23”
“I've said it before and I will continue to say it, even a bad Hardee's is a good Hardee's. They would really have to mess it up to make it a bad one. I really enjoyed the fried egg you can now put on any biscuit they offer. I enjoy making them at home but now that I know I can just go to Hardee's, it's game over for the at home version now. Service was great and the employees were very attentive to their customers. The bathroom was clean and smelled good. Eating area was nice and tidy. Overall it was a great experience and I highly recommend this location.”
“As I walked inside, I was the only one here ordering from the menu because there were a few drivers out there ordering via drive-thru. I saw the staff inside along with a girl in a wheelchair stand beside the register. I order my food to eat inside and enjoy the music playing inside. It was a wonderful place to go and eat in or order your food to go, etc.Parking: It's got plenty of parking space there. I see a few cars parked closer to the building, which is better to get in and get out faster than to walk all the way to your vehicle in the parking lot.Kid-friendliness: There's one kid inside and she's pretty friendly when she greets you with a hi or a hello as you come inside to order. I say it's 100% kid-friendly over there as long as no kid is making a ruckus.Wheelchair accessibility: The place does have wheelchair accessibility because I saw the young girl in the wheelchair enjoying the company of the staff and enjoying her food.”
“On time and some kinda FINE!! Haven't had an Arby's sandwich that good in a while. The staff was super nice! It was so clean, you could have seriously eaten off the floor. I've never seen another like it!! High Five Guys!!!?”
“I went to the Tuscaloosa location and I was acknowledged as soon as I walked in. The manager Ariel took my order she was nice and very patient. I ordered the Mexi fries and they are amazing. The grill cook Terrance Brown made sure I had fresh fries. I also added a chicken tender you should try it. I will definitely be going back.”

“Hands down one of the best diners in Tuscaloosa. I've lived here my whole life and have genuinely never tasted anything this good. The prices were reasonable, the food was excellent, and the overall atmosphere was very welcoming and enjoyable. I will definitely be visiting here again!”
Cheap Eats
“De pasada por Tuscaloosa, no puedo evitar entrar a Mi casita Bakery, la verdad es que no sé qué escoger entre tanta variedad. El personal siempre está atento a las necesidades del cliente. Me encantan sus productos.”
“Had the veggy eggy on wheat and outside of a small peice of foil in it was delicious! Generous portion and super fresh avocado. Place is super cozy and decor is worn chic. My table had crumbs on it and the foil in my food stopped me from giving a five.”
“Have been looking for just this place since we moved here from South Florida last year! Met Jessie behind the bar and she made us feel right at home! This is our spot from now on! Thanks for the hospitality!”
“Had been wanting to check this place out, and finally was able to without the crowds during winter break. They did not have full-sized beignets available but the “beignet bites” were tasty. The drinks and our other food were too. Comfortable seating was available and the service was friendly. Requires more effort to get to than some of my usual spots in town, but I will definitely come back during another slow time!”
“I’m not a fan of doughnuts, but my family is. We’ve been displaced due to the tornadoes on March 25, so we are staying near Babe’s. I finally went in this morning after 2 weeks of eyeing it. I cannot recommend Babe’s enough; we absolutely loved every single flavor we got. Babe’s is SO MUCH BETTER than that other popular doughnut chain in Tuscaloosa. If you don’t like doughnuts, you’ll like Babe’s. If you do like doughnuts, you’ll like Babe’s.”
“What a gem! The food is excellent—we especially loved the lamb kabob wrap and THE GARLIC SAUCE. The owner is incredibly friendly and even brought us a sample plate of the falafel. Delish! We make a point to visit every time we are in town.”
“King’s Kitchen is my new favorite southern cooking restaurant! The food is fresh and delicious, the customer service is awesome, and it’s an overall wonderful casual dining experience.”
“Stellar selection, staff, and community. You can find everything from open-mic night to trivia here and folks who’ll welcome you. Love this place and the people who make it such a fixture of Tuscaloosa!”
“Copper Top has the best atmosphere. It's a great place to hang with friends especially for football games. All of the staff if very friendly and accommodating.”
“Food was delicious!Parking: Large, well lit, paved parking areaKid-friendliness: Children are welcome and have specific menu options.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible area on curbs, wide entryway, table seating to pull chair up to table.”
“Loud and crowded on the weekends. The bartenders are very attentive on top of the fact that they make really good drinks very quickly. It's a fantastic place to go if you love whiskey. Good prices. You can smoke inside too.”
“out of towner from Texas, visited this bar on 4/17/22. Review 10/10 had a blast from the bartender to regulars and food. loved the atmosphere. this place is awesome!!!!”
“I've been to Jalapeños several times and the food is always fantastic, so I was excited when I learned they also do catering. They just catered my small wedding and the food was a big hit! Everyone loved the tacos, fajitas, and fajita gumbo. The food arrived on time, was piping hot, and absolutely delicious. Thank you Jalapeños for making our special day extra delicious!”
“What have you done?! The unique tortilla that has been Taco Casa’s difference since my childhood is gone! These are Ortega tortillas and you won’t convince me different. I’m so sad. The burritos, taco salad, and nachos are all different.”
“Local Roots has wonderful burgers, chicken fingers and fries and a delicious Caesar salad. The fried chicken finger “batter” reminds me of PT’s fingers. Love it and their sauces are great, too.”
“Had late night appetizers. Restaurant has a slight odor that seemed a little off, even for an oyster house. Kitchen closed things down a little ahead of schedule, but our server fixed that issue. Portions could have been a little bigger. Overall, I recommend and will return. Solid flavors.”
“I ate lunch here last weekend and loved it we both got the Alabama redneck and it was absolutely delicious . I usually don't finish my food in one sitting but I sure did here . we will be coming back soon .”

“My new favorite spot! Waffle House who!? lol Not only is the food delectable but the prices are great. Very prompt and delightful service from the sweet people they’ve got working there too. And I love the calm low lighting atmosphere. I don’t even feel like I’m in Tuscaloosa anymore lol it’s like a break from outside. A little Andy Griffin feel.”

“We had a great cook. Love catching them cook right in front of you. Our chef was amazing and could flip shrimp in your mouth like it was nothing. Love the food and atmosphere.”
“Omg, so much food. So delicious. Great price. This will be our new weekly curbside lunch pickup. Tempura chicken, shrimp and veggies. Yum Yum Thank you, Ichiban!”
“The biggest setback for us was the bartender swore a single was a double. There is no way what I got was a double. The price for alcohol is already up there, but to short change, a shot or half shot is ridiculous. Overall, everything was perfect. Go to the location next to academy sports if you plan to drink as they will give you your money worth of drinks.”
“I have been to Heritage House so many times as a student in Tuscaloosa. All the locations have a different vibe, but i especially love the Towncenter location because of its cozy, warm, eclectic atmosphere. The service is always great and I usually never have to wait long for my coffee. I would say that the food is one of the best parts because they make their pastries from scratch and all of them are delicious! Their kitchen food is wonderful as well! I would recommend the breakfast burrito (put the jalapeño ranch on it) with turkey sausage and an iced caramel macchiato”
“I am writing this review late , however on two months ago, I ordered a surf n turf gyro combo meal without some of the veggies and steak, just shrimp and tomatoes and of course the sauce . It was sooooo good! It tasted like a shrimp chalupa . The fries were real good , my lemonade was sweet. I ate the whole thing that night lol. Chef’s kiss !”
“The atmosphere is very home-like!!! Every time I come in, I have a great experience & our server Quinn is the very best! Checked in multiple times, kept our drinks full and was attentive to our needs. Book with her when you come to Juicy Crab!”
“I love the food here, especially the fried mushrooms and pickles. Sometimes, the cashiers/ waiters /waitresses can be a little rude or quick with me. I don't like that. I think they should be trained better, and the restaurant isn't always super clean, either. Other than that, I think this is one of the best fast food restaurants.”

“Management here is so nice,and the boils are addictive TO ME.when you purchase a one pound boil they give you a complimentary fried rice.and let me tell you it's the best tasting fried rice I've ever eaten.”
“I needed to eat my feelings today and the fish totally made me feel better ❤️ Fresh fried okra, bbq flavored home fries *probably why people are confused by the texture and taste quality being so good* Slaw was delicious (I stole a bite from Pops food) I luckily was greeted by the owner who made me feel welcome (it has to be that warm smile). I sat there wanting everything on the menu and all I could say was UHHH. I see the ribs are good so count us in for another visit or 4. We will probably see what y'all got Sunday since we live down the street. Thanks for the awesome food. I ate before I reviewed because I was starving so no picture like I usually do.”
“Get the Mediterranean pasta, add salmon and sub out for the spinach fettuccine. You won’t regret it!! I’ve been coming here to eat since I was a kid (I’m 36 now) and the food, atmosphere and service has always and is always fantastic. One of my favorite date night spots in Tuscaloosa. The baked feta is one of the best!!Pro tip - come during the week and not the weekend. And never, ever try to eat there during a football weekend!”
“I can’t say enough great things about 1225. Every experience we’ve had has been exceptional from the customer service, to the atmosphere, to the food and drinks. The restaurant is also locally owned versus having corporate ownership which allows for a more personal at home vibe where the owner is hands on and turnover is low. I highly recommend if you’re looking for an enjoyable time to share with family and friends.”
“Ordered the sesame chicken which was delicious. Really happy with my experience at Lai Lai. Fantastic Customer service, I was visiting Tuscaloosa for work and had arrived to town late from a flight. Jacob was so kind and really helped me out ordering my food and providing a great experience. Overall, good food and good people. Go support this small business!”
“Decided to go and eat here today, Trey was our server and i could not have asked for better! He was so kind and cared to our every single need and ask. I will definitely be back as long as Trey is there!!”

Blaze Pizza
“There is one young black lady in here with glasses who needs to be relieved of her duties. Her attitude is absolutely horrible and I see the way she treats customers. Her energy and spirit is bad. It doesn't take anything to be a nice person and if you wanna go home..go home. Other than that, the food here is amazing and all the rest of staff is very nice.”
“The brisket sandwich was amazing. Our waitress was also amazing. My wife's chocolate pie was the best she said. I had the banana pudding, and it tasted freezer burnt. But I will try it again to see if it was just a one-time issue. But all and all great food. O ya the muffins are over the top ”
“I have been looking for a good, authentic Mexican food truck ever since I moved to the Tuscaloosa area in January. I discovered this place just the other day, and I have to say, the birria tacos that I got here were the best I've ever had anywhere! They came with a huge cup of the Consommé soup, which was also delicious! The people working at this food truck were very nice, and the service was quick! You could see them preparing everything and cooking the food in the truck, so you know the food is fresh and made on site. If you're looking for the best authentic Mexican food in Tuscaloosa, be sure to check this place out! I will definitely be trying other menu items in the near future.”
“I almost gave it 4 stars but thought about it and decided that yes for the area it is the best BBQ in the area. I’ve reviewed bbq from about every state in the SE, Memphis ribs and Texas brisket is still the best by a long shot .The ribs here are the go to—my rack was a little tough (by no means fall off the bone), but juicy and tasty. The smoked sausages were decent —hillshire almost, so probably won’t get again, but still good. The best item by a long shot is the banana pudding—GET it. Dry rub seasoning is also legit. Overall a great bbq place”
“Me and my fiancee had the seafood boil for two. The sauce (Sweet heat) was amazing. Definitely filled us up! Had the boom boom shrimp and crab claws for appetizers (2 of our favs)Also had oysters tht unfortunately were over cooked. But the waiter was great. Food came out in a timely manner. Overall we had a good experience.”
“I have been to Greece 5 times and this is food is amazing! Better than in Greece! If you want mediterranean and healthy they have it - if you want a touch of Tuscaloosa hearty and filling, they have it - very high quality and delicious!”
“First time today. Dining room was very clean. Even smelled clean when we walked in. Service was quick. Employees were very friendly. Food was good! I will be going back.”
“Lizzie was a rockstar server! She went over and beyond to make sure our food and experience was top notch! ??? the sushi was incredible, and this is our favorite location!”
“I had not eaten at Nick's in the sticks in years. Let me tell you I was not disappointed again. The food there was still great. There were 8 in our group and everyone I believe had something different on their plates lol. Every person there in our group loved their food.”
“We have not gone ..we placed an online order for deliveryMenu - super clear - super easyOrder prep to my door - was fast..The food - packaged well - zero mistakes "AWESOME FOOD"Very tasty- "will definitely be ordering from here again!"”
“Please do me a favor and give this place a try!!! I PROMISE YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!! And DONT EVER JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER!!! Not the best Curb Appeal but EXCELLENT food and service ❤️❤️❤️”

“I think the food and service gets better each time I visit. Drinks are poured strong ? I had quesa birrias for lunch and just thought about how good they were, and now I'm here leaving my first good review in awhile. Only possible complaints are parking, doors being locked, and 15% auto tip, but overall I love ”

Fruit Lovely
“Fruit Lovely is my go to! Everything is always fresh and made how I requested, and the staff are very welcoming and friendly. My favorites are the You Do You Bowl, because I’m picky, and I get the Basic Bowl for my little (no base, just fruit!). But anytime I get them to recommend something different, I have not been disappointed. Family friendly, and I love that the Bible verse behind their concept/name is literally on their wall. Highly recommend.”

Los Tarascos
“Visited on Monday evening and entered without waiting. Two adults ordered and shared a portion of shrimp quesadilla and a fajita for one, which was enough to eat without leaving much food behind, even though my friend and I are not big eaters. If you're a big eater, adding an appetizer might be a good idea. Unfortunately, I couldn't take a picture of the menu, but I'll do it next time I visit. Our table's server was very kind with a bright smile, frequently checking if we needed anything throughout the meal. I wanted to mention the server's name in the review but couldn't find it on the receipt; it just said 'training'. During our meal, I saw the staff singing a birthday song to someone at another table. The restaurant has a casual atmosphere, so if you want a low-key birthday dining, it wouldn't be a bad choice.”
“Wings and fries were delicious. Wings beat out most of the “wings places in Tuscaloosa. Fries stayed crunchy the whole meal. We will definitely get our wings here from now on.”
“As a college student with a penchant for great food and an undeniable love for the Milwaukee Bucks, stumbling upon "Sitar of India" in Tuscaloosa was an absolute game-changer. Nestled in the heart of Alabama, this gem of a restaurant seamlessly blends authentic Indian flavors with a cozy ambiance. From the moment I stepped inside, the aroma of spices transported me to the vibrant streets of Mumbai, making it the ideal escape from the routine college grind.The menu at Sitar of India is a slam dunk for any food enthusiast, offering an impressive array of dishes that cater to every palate. Whether you're a curry connoisseur or a biryani buff, each item on the menu is a three-pointer in terms of flavor and presentation. The Chicken Tikka Masala deserves a standing ovation for its perfect blend of spices, while the naan bread is the real MVP, serving as the ultimate dunking companion for soaking up those rich and savory curries. The restaurant's commitment to authenticity and quality ingredients is as unwavering as my dedication to cheering on the Milwaukee Bucks during every game.As a Bucks fan, finding a place like Sitar of India in Tuscaloosa feels like hitting a buzzer-beater – unexpected but absolutely thrilling. The staff's hospitality, coupled with the delectable dishes, creates an atmosphere that rivals the excitement of a Bucks playoff game. Whether you're celebrating a victory or seeking comfort after a tough loss, Sitar of India is the undisputed champion, much like my GOAT Giannis, for an unforgettable dining experience in Tuscaloosa.Wheelchair accessibility: My dad (who is handicapped) made it in just fine.”

Ajian Sushi
“If you want good sushi then this is the place, not only was the sushi fantastic so was the miso soup! Great portion for the price and a wonderful healthy option. Only thing better than the food was the service and friendliness of the staff.”
“I just recently moved to Tuscaloosa from Atlanta and it’s very different. To be honest I really hate Tuscaloosa and it’s been hard looking for a place that feels safe for a POC to go out and enjoy. My friend recommended Icon and I decided to bite the bullet and try it out. First, the employees are so nice! Super friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was great and everyone who was there were also incredibly kind! The drinks were sooo good as well and of course the Drag Queens who performed were AMAZING!! I had such a great time and would definitely come back again!! Go support your local LGBTQ+ bars/Drag Queens! Thank you for a fun night Icon!! ”
“We arrived as they were closing however they didn't hesitate to seat us. EVERYONE was smiling and laughing. Our server was amazing. she knew the menu and didn't hesitate to recommend things. The restaurant was very clean. We will definitely be back. The manager should be very proud of the staff.”
“This was a revelation. The prices are reasonable. The service was perfect. The food is excellent. The portions are huge!This must be the best kept secret in Tuscaloosa. Hidden away in the Capstone Hotel, if everyone in Tuscaloosa tried this place once, there would be a waiting line forever after.I can't wait to go back!”
“It was extremely busy but we got in before many since we were willing to sit at the bar. This Outback has its act together and this was a peaceful pleasing dining experience. 2nd visit really busy and there would have been a 20 minute wait but my wife and I don't mind sitting at the bar which had plenty of availability, it was and enjoyable dinner and we conversed with some delightful strangers while seated at the bar. The bartender did a excellent job with his customer service.”
“Great food and staff!! My youngest son also just won an iPad tonight at dinner, playing games after we ate! Family friendly, and great atmosphere! What’s not to love!”
“No complaints on food.The atmosphere is what bothered me.The company left a note on the door on MLK day which said "they are closed for deep cleaning"Being in a black community who keeps their lights on you'd think they would be closed in honor of MLKIts the disrespect....”

Wing kitchen
“By far the best wings I’ve ever had! I’ve never been the biggest fan of wings, but there is a flavor for everyone. Can’t wait to go back! Definitely try the Firecracker rub, corn bread and donut. #dontforgetthedonut”
“One of the best casual places to eat in Tuscaloosa! We have been coming to Heat since 2016. The pizza is fabulous and I highly recommend the Street Taco pizza - one of their latest specials! The bartenders are awesome and the wait staff is always fantastic. We appreciate the happy hour prices, too!”
“Latinos in Tuscaloosa excellent pork ribs Ristisado chicken excellent food great service happy happy this is going to be my Barbecue place race cáigale a las ribs ???”
“We had the chicken bites, Parmesan chicken, and a salad. It was fabulous as usual and Diego really took great care of us! Love the atmosphere at the new North Bank location!”
“We have not be eating at any Logans in awhile due to bad food and service but so happy we gave Tuscaloosa Logans a chance. It was the best we have ever had. Food was awesome and service couldn't possibly have been any better thanks to Jalen our server/bartender. He was the best, never missed a beat. ♥️”
“let me tell you the first thing that attracted us to this restaurant was the smell of BBQ!!! we get in, and at first I expected a sit down style restaurant where they seat you. What you have is you go to the counter and order your food. We both chose the spare ribs and fried green tomatoes, I had the potato salad and she got the Mac and cheese. Let's break this down.. the Mac and cheese was so good your could wat it by itself and be happy, the potato salad was just as good. The fried green tomatoes were good. The ribs were sooo tender and the taste without the sauce was very good very good season and good smoke flavor, add in the BBQ sauce and they are next level. This is a must go, not a possibility. A Must!!!!! we definitely enjoyed this meal, and your staff was just as amazing!”
“This was by far the best food I've had since God knows when it's completely unique and something I haven't eaten yet excellent amount of food for your money good atmosphere nice decor and the food actually gets out in the timely matter”
“I recommend this place if you are looking for a quiet, quaint space to read, study or meet up with friends. The owner is amazing. He's a selfless individual who seeks to always help others. This is no Starbucks, but their prices are reasonable and when you make purchases in their gift area, the proceeds go towards missions across the world.”
“My husband and I have been coming to Los Tarascos for years. He remembers when it was tiny space further east on Skyland. We just had another lovely meal here. I am so happy this restaurant has made it through the trials we have all faced owing to the pandemic. There's a clear reason: they are consistent. It is hard to sit down and not have salsa and chips in front of you within a minute or so. The frozen margarita is the best (well, there is one in Sebring, Florida that will give them a run for the money). And the shish-kabob with steak is so good. But best of all is the service. We got tshirts this evening and are so grateful to have this restaurant in our lives. Shout-out to the most incredible servers who have been there for years and the new faces. You all make the restaurant one for the history books!”
“Great food and staff!! My youngest son also just won an iPad tonight at dinner, playing games after we ate! Family friendly, and great atmosphere! What’s not to love!”
“Don't go to Buffalo Phil's often. But when I do go the service is always good. The food is definitely fresh. Tried their burgers for the first time and it was amazing. Appetizers were the southwestern egg rolls and fried pickles (half off on Monday's or during happy hour) I couldn't remember. Lol. Definitely a great place to stop by if passing through.”
“I love this restaurant, there isn't a dish I have had here that I don't like. The crab Rangoon is fantastic, all of the sushi rolls are great, the hibachi dishes are amazing (especially chicken katsu), and to top it off, the staff is always on top of it.”
“Amazing food! Every time I have gone to get food, the burgers have been cooked perfectly. The only thing at night around 9 on fridays it turns into a full bar with no food, at least I think, I isn't see any food that ”
“Went this evening with family and enjoyed great food. Jacob was super friendly and cooked us up a great meal. We also tried the peanut butter cup dessert they have and it was absolutely phenomenal! Definitely will be back soon!”
“I only recommend Mugshots because of past experiences. My family and I went last night with friends and it was by far some of the worst service I’d had to date. Upon entering, the host greeted us but asked a female server under the stair case if she wanted 6, but they had kids (hello, standing in front of you!) the girl scowled and said no. We were seated pretty promptly but waited several minutes for anyone to approach us. A server finally showed up and apologized for the wait, which I understood as he had another table. We got our drinks a few minutes later and we were ready to order, but before we could say anything he quickly walked off. We then had to wait at least another 6 minutes before he showed again. Let me just say, when you have kids you’re trying to keep calm that feels like an eternity. After taking our orders it took about 40 minutes for our food to come out, and it was cold. What made it even worse was that immediately after delivering our food he asked us how we wanted our checks. We were so hungry after waiting and didn’t want to upset the kids, so we told the server about the cold food and asked for hot fries at least. He honestly seemed a little put out and like it was an inconvenience for him, but he quickly brought us out a bowl of hot fries. My friends son had one pickle when she asked for extra, which I would say if the server did his job, then it was a small kitchen mistake. He brought out a small container of extra pickle slices very quickly after he was told. But he should have asked us if everything was cooked to our liking so we didn’t need to send him on several goose chases. One in our party asked for a refill and attempted to hand him his empty one, and the server looked at it like he had no idea what was expected of him. We kept wondering where he was because there weren’t many tables there with us toward the end, and when we left we saw everyone huddled under the stairs hanging out. It’s not a fine dining establishment in town, but it is a small family one that locals love. Tyler D needs more service training, please. Also, this is coming from a fellow hospitality worker within Tuscaloosa. Highly disappointed.”
“They always make me feel welcome! Their service and food are both amazing! I love their margaritas and every item I’ve ordered has been delicious! I highly recommend them for your dining experience!”
“You really can’t beat the traditional meat and three at Innisfree! I also highly recommend the hot ham and cheese with their soup of the day! We go at 11 am and are usually out by 11:30! And you can’t beat the price!”
“The food and ambiance were excellent and our server, Sydney, was very attentive and friendly. However the kitchen was rather slow to serve a burger and some BBQ chicken, which we had selected specifically because we were on a business lunch and had limited time. The dining room was mostly empty, so they could hardly be very busy. The food was very good when it came out though.Dietary restrictions: Both of us wanted to avoid dairy products and our server made it very easy for us to select appropriate choices from the menu.”

The Lookout
“Located atthe hotel Indigo by the riverfront . We came here to dine In . This hotel btw looks really cool too. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the rooftop seating with fire pit .Although a little too cold for me, we decided to dine inside. Blankets are available if you want to remain outside and enjoy the view. Inside there is a bar and very limited seating. The menu is small, the drink menu is not. There is a sign at the bar indicating that all drinks contain 1 1/4 oz of alcohol and if you want more or less you need to let the bar tender know. I ordered the chicken strips and fries, husband ordered the crawfish pasta and our friend ordered the flat ironedsteak and potatoes. Both my husband and I thought that the portions were on the small side. The steak was ordered medium rare and that is exactly how it arrived. Pasta was delicious, fries perfect and chicken done well. We cleaned our plates. Gin and tonic ($10) was weak . Our fault we didn’t see the sign until later.”

Yummi Crab
“From its beautiful interior to the beauty of its taste, the Yummi Crab was an explosion of flavor on both my taste buds and in my bowels. Our server/hostess/chef really knew what he was doing. The Theratrix’s thoroughly enjoyed every moment and will cherish this experience for the rest of our life.”
“Everything was great had a pregnant waiter that told her manager she felt threatened by us 3 black older ladies and they came and fronted us about it the guy manager came and apologized and gave us all free appetizers was kinda shocked tho nothing happen she left off one of our orders so I politely ask about it n she said look don't rush me it's only so much I can do... and being a mother myself I just said well baby it's no rush we just thought it was forgotten next thing I know here comes the manager lady saying we threatened her i just put it off on mood swings everything else was perfect”
“I have ate here several times before and it was good but I can say tonight was absolutely the best steak and shrimp I have ever had. Great Job Texas Roadhouse and service was wonderful!! And this is the first review I have ever left at any restaurant ever!”

Hooters
“Server was great, very attentive and professional. Food wasn’t terrible tasting, just a really lazy effort…. Observe my pic, compare the pic on the menu vs what I got. It’s actually kind of comical…”
“I'm in love, next time I'm there will definitely stop and enjoy. The ribs, catfish, wings, coleslaw, fried green tomatoes, collard greens are all just delicious.”

Buffet City
“Crawfish, mussels, clams, shrimp, and frog legs were all great and at a very budget friendly price. Best I've had since moving to Tuscaloosa.Vegetarian options: Rice, soup, mushrooms, and California rolls are vegetarian, good salad bar and dessert area with fruit, etc.”
“I'm glad Side by Side reopened. We enjoyed our evening and meal. Steak and Salmon were our entrees. Both were delicious following our starter of brussel sprouts...the best I've had anywhere!”
“I order a 30 piece mild lemon wing , if only I didn’t live far away no number to call them , the wings was so hot we were able to eat them so this was Saturday Dec 2 and they’re closed on today Dec 3 Sunday , that means I gotta wait until Monday to try to resolve this issue , ?It’s Monday I had to come to tell you guys that I went bk and they were very understanding and took care of it we back on track… very apologetic and was very concern”

Red Lobster
“Food was excellent; however it would be less messy and easier to eat the crab legs had the garlic butter been on the side instead if poured all over the dish.Did have to drop a star on service due solely to the how slow it was (restaurant wasn't busy) and how long it took to get our food and refills on beverages. Otherwise, the server was very polite and friendly.”
Latest Reviews
“The Colorado omelette is hands down the best item on the menu. Packed with flavor and perfectly cooked, it left me craving more. It comes with a side, and for that, we chose pancakes, which were just perfect! While the chicken biscuit was decent, I found myself leaning towards the omelettes. Overall, if you're a fan of hearty omelettes, pancakes, a good cup of coffee, and generous portion sizes, IHOP is the best place for you!”

“We dined here on Sunday. Our server was Jill and she did a great job, friendly and courteous. I ordered the salmon and was stunned by how good it was, on par with Ivers in Seattle. I got to meet and thank the chef, Kenny. A young man with the ability to produce this superb dish in a chain restaurant. They both earned a tip for such excellent food and serviceOutstanding.”

“The Food was amazing and was very good, I've never been a fan of green beans and the green beans there were amazing, the hamburger steak was delicious and the black eyed peas were so good! I'll definitely be coming again”
“My favorite restaurant in town! I eat here as often as I can. Every single item I’ve tried from the menu turns out to be my new favorite! Best burgers in town, the fried catfish is fantastic! This last trip I tried the Fish & Grits…it was unbelievable! One of the best meals I’ve ever had. The staff and owners are friendly, atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, prices are reasonable. Urban Bar & Kitchen can’t be beat!”
“Great food and staff!! My youngest son also just won an iPad tonight at dinner, playing games after we ate! Family friendly, and great atmosphere! What’s not to love!”

“I had a HB Pizza for halftime of the-Alabama Game and it was delicious. I think that HBPizza is my goto pizza from now on. The best thing is that they are everywhere and the Quality and quantity is the same no matter Which of the 8000 locations that you go to.”
“Solid burger and good service. Would come back again for sure. If you're looking for good American bar food with a good ambiance this is a safe place to check out.”
