“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.”
“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!”
“YUMMMMParking: Somewhat hard to find parking during busy hours but usually pretty easy!Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendlyWheelchair accessibility: Pretty accessible”
“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!”
“Awesome atmosphere and great location. Loaded cheese fries were really good and if you like peanut butter try the Thai nachos. Claire was our waitress and she was absolutely amazing. Claire recommended a kiwi drink that was sooooo good. For a perfect experience ask for Claire, kiwi drink and loaded cheese fries and you will be back…..”

“We came for lunch but ended up ordering off the dinner menu. We had the Schnitzel with one side. We had never had the spaetzle. It was very different! I've never had anything like it. The schnitzel with the mushroom gravy was absolutely fantastic. We had 2 of the best servers. They were extremely nice and helpful. When we asked them about the menu and what the items were like. They also had live music playing, and the owner just hanging out talking to all the guests. It was a lovely experience, and we can't wait to come back and try more things on the menu. We LOVE Rolf's!!”
“Wow, how refreshing it was to go somewhere and be taken care of to the fullest. From Laura seating us, to our sweet server Zo, to our fabulous banana fosters French toast (we added strawberries and it did NOT disappoint) everything was just amazing. The manager, Jason, stopped by to make sure we were taken care of. We’ll be back a million times over!”
“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.”

“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!”

“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”

“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“I don’t always get my morning coffee at Heritage House, but when I do, it’s a great start to my day. The staff there remember the regulars and their orders, and recently when we thought we might change it up and try something else…but weren’t sure if we would like it…they made us a small sample so we could try before we buy. And it worked because we got it the next time, haha. It gets really busy at times, so check the parking lot, but highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Great Italian food! The service members are friendly and helpful, food plentiful, wait not long, and everything is clean.The only things I do not like are the salads and dressing. I don't care for iceberg lettuce or Italian dressing. Too bitter.”
“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.”
“Just here for the veggies most days. Got the catfish today on a whim and from now on I’m dropping a veggie for this. My kids got shrimp, burgers and a grilled pimento cheese. Everything great. Nice and hot. 10-15 minutes for food. Nice waiter.We sat outside on the back porch. Nice breeze today. Great experience.Owner came by and checked on us. They’re opening for dinner very soon. We’re regulars on Saturday Brunch and they’ve starting serving MIMOSAS!!!! and drinks.”
“Great atmosphere and fantastic service. The staff elevates the experience from just an ordinary lunch to an event. This place has been such a highlight on our trip to Mont Tremblant.”
“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.”
“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.”
“We came to visit our daughter and wanted to take her out somewhere nice (poor college student). After having one of the worst experiences ever at Dillard's Chophouse the last time we were in town for parents weekend, we decided to go on a recommendation from a friend and give Forte a try. I wish we had gotten the recommendation sooner. From the minute we sat down until we paid the bill the experience was excellent. While the food was outstanding, the service was even better. Our server Daniel was extremely attentive and not once did we have to ask for anything. He had quite a few tables but made us feel as if we were his only one. Every drink and dish we ordered were outstanding and we've decided that from now on, anytime we are in town we will be sure to eat here (we've already made our reservation for when we return in September). if you want the best Tuscaloosa has to offer this is your place. Amd if the manager of Dillard's happens to read this you may want to make a reservation and ask for Daniel....I think you could learn something.”

“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!”
“Absolutely LOVE the atmosphere and friendly service here! You feel welcome as soon as you walk in! The cook is even friendly and amazing. He made a special little waffle for my daughter that was in the shape of mini mouse with a bow! I officially love this place and all the workers!!!Kid-friendliness: The cook made a mini mouse waffle just for my daughter?”
“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 load going from Indiana to Alabama we decided to stop here and eat after getting unloaded that Morning and it was a great decision all the food was amazing the atmosphere was as good as the food employees all in a great mood singing, laughing and smiling seemed to enjoy being at work will definitely go back if I'm ever around there again i recommend it for sure”
“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! ?”
“Service is slow at this location. There is a wall between front counter and drive thru window that obstructs the visibility of customers waiting at the inside counter.”
“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.”
“The food was good. I didn't like putting in my own order. I would much rather talk to a human. If I'm going to be the cashier in my transaction then I'd like an employee discount.”
“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.”
“Cool craft beer bar. They have a great selection with a frequent turnover, so there is always something new. Six packs and some singles are available as well. There is a great arcade room in the back too!”
“Good was excellent, server wasn’t as attentive as she should have been. Only saw her when she took our order (which the wrong pizza was brought out, but they did bring the right one out), and brought the check. Never checked on us for refills at all. Would go back, but it will be a long time.”
“So the restaurant is new so there’s some hiccups that can be worked out. Like technically there’s no full bar bc they are still working on it . But u can still order soju sake and I think beer . My server Faith was the best & madeMy experience so much more pleasurable . I would come back just for her!!Pan Chan is a large salad bar but a lot of Korean staples needed to be fermented longer . Dumplings were wild cold and it’s a shame bc they were very crispy and flavor was good but sitting at salad bar with no warmer .Meat was on point I got BBQ not hot pot soooo good . If. you’re into making lettuce wraps aka ssambap it’s kinda a challenge bc they give u the bottom half of lettuce so not able to wrap . This place I’m sure will be worth 5 stars soon and again service definitely boosted the rating!”

“Awesome atmosphere and great location. Loaded cheese fries were really good and if you like peanut butter try the Thai nachos. Claire was our waitress and she was absolutely amazing. Claire recommended a kiwi drink that was sooooo good. For a perfect experience ask for Claire, kiwi drink and loaded cheese fries and you will be back…..”

“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.”
“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 ?”
“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.”
“First time customer. Got the 20 inch pepperoni and the 12 inch Mama Mia. In the photo you can get an idea of the difference between a 12 inch and a 20 inch pizza by the boxes. Sorry I was too busy eating to post pictures of the actual picture.The 20 inch pizza was all you could hope for in a New York style crust. It folded well and had a good chew. IYKYK!! Even better it passed the late night or breakfast cold pizza test by not getting soggy and the crust still retaining its integrity. Also reheated well(375 for 8 min got everything warm without over crisping the crust). The 12 was fine but wasn't as tasty as I was expecting with the garlic confit. But that could just be me.Yes the price seems expensive but just from the 20 inch we got 5 meals, Dinner and lunch for 2 plus breakfast for 1, out of it. Making the cost about 8 dollars a meal. Which is less than you pay for a hamburger combo at your favorite fast food restaurant.I didn't put anything for the atmosphere because I was there at 330 in the afternoon, on a Thursday, and I was the only one there. But the staff were nice and tried to explain to me the size of the 20 inch pizza. I wouldn't say they failed as much as I would say I failed to truly understand.Best Pizza I have eaten in Tuscaloosa. Next time I am going to try the Sicilian style crust! Only recommendation I would have is that they display the pie pans so customers would get a true understanding of the size of the pizzas.?Parking: Seem to be a good number of spaces. Just be careful of the grade to the road on the entrance and exit.”
“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.”
“This is one of the best places around and it doesn’t hurt that the family that runs it are incredibly nice people. Faye frequently visits with the customers and makes you feel like family. Highly recommend!Dietary restrictions: There are gluten free options.Kid-friendliness: They are very friendly towards kids and very welcoming and understanding when it comes to babies and toddlers.”
“Great food, great service. Atmosphere is a bit loud so not good for quiet, romantic dinner but you will be well fed! No vegetarian options except for appetizers. No began at all.”
“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.”
“Me and my family came during A-Day weekend and the food was awesome. Kids had wings, she had the hamburger steak and it was great. Our drinks HIT!!! The service was especially good, Emma K and Madison, I can't say enough about the both of em. Will definitely be back.”
“I just visited Tuscaloosa again and did the obligatory Sunday brunch at Another Broken Egg - consistently excellent food, excellent service with the most amazing menu!”
“This was a great choice for our dinner in Tuscaloosa. We love oysters so we enjoyed the oysters on the half shell. There was a HUGE oyster on the plate! Largest oyster I've ever seen! The jalapeno hushpuppies were very good...not hot as the name might imply. The stuffed portabella mushrooms were really good but I did have to scrape off the sauce because it was too spicy for me. I didn't even remember the description saying anything about a spicy sauce. I loved the garden salad with their garlic balsamic vinegar dressing. My husband got the steak with shrimp and the steak was cooked properly. Waitstaff was friendly and efficient. I thought the prices were pretty reasonable.”
“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.”
“We used to pass this place while driving through the state every few weeks. I DREAM about the food here. I unfortunately do not drive past hear anymore but this is a hidden gem. The food is amazing and worth every single penny that you pay for it. I have not stopped looking for a Mediterranean place that even comes close to comparing to the flavor that this place offers.”

“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.”
“The food here is amazing. Passing through AL on the way back to LA and found this place on Google. It was kind of a pain to get to due to the construction and it not being just off the interstate for easy off and on but it was worth it. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was they don't allow for substitutions on any menu items. You have to get it exactly how it is listed on the menu. The service was great even at the bar where we had to sit because it was very crowded. Petty issue was they took the game off the tv we were watching to put on the SAME game that was already on 5 TVs. Otherwise will def eat here again next time I'm in town! GEAUX TIGERS! ;)”
“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.”
“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! :-)”
“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!”
“The workers here are some of the nicest ladies you’ll ever meet. They always remember me by name and ask how my day is going, etc. Stopping here is a staple between my classes for some easy, tasty food that has good protein ”
“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”
“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”
“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.”
“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.”
“I havnt been in bout a year cause the last time I went they had rude customer service was out or didn't wanna cook certain stuff n the Lil gay guy was the manager was the rudest of all so I go today just about everything I ordered was out again wanted a 2 piece thigh n leg they say that's all they had and wings but the wings be to hard so I'm like yea just give me thigh n leg get to the window they pulling everybody up I hate that so I tell them ion wanna move up I'll wait at window it was like I broke Jack's the Lil girl was lost then she go tell manager who this time was nicer but she come say it's no breast I'm like omg she did give me 3 legs tho but I'll never go back I miss the way it was when it first open”

“This is one of the best places around and it doesn’t hurt that the family that runs it are incredibly nice people. Faye frequently visits with the customers and makes you feel like family. Highly recommend!Dietary restrictions: There are gluten free options.Kid-friendliness: They are very friendly towards kids and very welcoming and understanding when it comes to babies and toddlers.”

“Visited for the first time today and it was a great trip! I purchased the strawberry peach blast and the key lime pop tart. Both were excellent! My toddler ate some of the oatmeal cream pie and it was delicious (mom had to taste test!). The lady working was super friendly and helpful. I’ll definitely be back!”
“Cool craft beer bar. They have a great selection with a frequent turnover, so there is always something new. Six packs and some singles are available as well. There is a great arcade room in the back too!”
“Amazing and unique food options! I had the Flying Pig and I definitely recommend! The coffee actually taste like coffee and I love that as well. The atmosphere is so cute and there are positive messages everywhere you look! I'm a local and this place is so unique! Stop here if you are ever in Tuscaloosa! ??”
“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.”
“Stopped in for a quick coffee meeting and got a latte. It has a good vibe with plenty of seating. The service was fast and came complete with some latte art. The latte was a bit strong for my tastes, but a solid entry nonetheless. Parking is available, but it on the surrounding streets. I imagine it can get difficult to park at certain times. Go check it out.”
“Me & my Bestie love it here !! It's close to where we live & our food is always excellent !! Tony is one of our favorite people there, he's ALWAYS SUCH A GREAT HOST! The staff is really nice here & they have the margaritas!!”
“Excellent BBQ, tried the slab of ribs, sausage, Mac and cheese, potato salad baked beans, and coleslaw, served with slices of white bread. Service was great waitress was super nice and helpful. The food was hot and BBQ sauce was delicious. Would totaly recommend the place. The neighborhood is sketchy but they actually have a security guard at the restauraunt.”
“Enjoyed this small southern city urban coffee shop. Has a hipster yuppy vibe. Staff exudes coolness. Atmosphere is spacious in a repurposed building with a neat variety of seating options (counter, couch, 2/4 tops amd big table). Food could use some finese: ie acai bowl needs improved presentation and I was NOT expecting, upon ordering a hot Vietnamese cofee, for her to pull out a pitcher of premade to steam up...part of what makes Vietnamese coffee's character is watching the phin kit filter slowly drip onto the condensed milk in a glass. Also if some plastic use could be phased out (spoons needing to be individually wrapped, asking if "for here" orders need tops) that would be a plus. 7.5/10 would easily hang out or meet-up here over food/drinks if in town again. Nice neighborhood feel and is on the right track.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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 .”
“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.”
“Absolutely yummy!So far I've had cookies, cake, Spaghetti with meat sauce, and Brunswick Stew.All delicious! ???Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair parking on the side.”
“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.”
“The Mahi Rice Bowl this evening was incredible. The service was fast and friendly and the atmosphere was great. This is definitely one of my favorite restaurants.”
“Great food, great service. Atmosphere is a bit loud so not good for quiet, romantic dinner but you will be well fed! No vegetarian options except for appetizers. No began at all.”
“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!”
“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 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.”
“Me and my family came during A-Day weekend and the food was awesome. Kids had wings, she had the hamburger steak and it was great. Our drinks HIT!!! The service was especially good, Emma K and Madison, I can't say enough about the both of em. Will definitely be back.”
“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!”
“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.”
“I just visited Tuscaloosa again and did the obligatory Sunday brunch at Another Broken Egg - consistently excellent food, excellent service with the most amazing menu!”
“This was a great choice for our dinner in Tuscaloosa. We love oysters so we enjoyed the oysters on the half shell. There was a HUGE oyster on the plate! Largest oyster I've ever seen! The jalapeno hushpuppies were very good...not hot as the name might imply. The stuffed portabella mushrooms were really good but I did have to scrape off the sauce because it was too spicy for me. I didn't even remember the description saying anything about a spicy sauce. I loved the garden salad with their garlic balsamic vinegar dressing. My husband got the steak with shrimp and the steak was cooked properly. Waitstaff was friendly and efficient. I thought the prices were pretty reasonable.”
“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.”
“We used to pass this place while driving through the state every few weeks. I DREAM about the food here. I unfortunately do not drive past hear anymore but this is a hidden gem. The food is amazing and worth every single penny that you pay for it. I have not stopped looking for a Mediterranean place that even comes close to comparing to the flavor that this place offers.”

“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”

“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!”
“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.”

“The Mahi Rice Bowl this evening was incredible. The service was fast and friendly and the atmosphere was great. This is definitely one of my favorite restaurants.”
“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.”
“There’s often a line in front of this place, so I guess that’s a sign that it’s good. This is definitely one of the best restaurants in town. I had the diplomas signature pasta, and my wife had the shrimp scampi. The food is delicious! We had excellenttossed green salads with vinaigrette sauce. The only downside is that the food can be slightly greasy. I will be back next time for the pizza!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Took awhile to make my food but they were really nice, and the food was worth the wait, i will definitely be coming back here in the future with some more of my friends!Kid-friendliness: The chairs kept the kids stable and they had a really good kids menuWheelchair accessibility: there is wheelchair ramps everywhere”
“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?????”
“The food here is amazing. Passing through AL on the way back to LA and found this place on Google. It was kind of a pain to get to due to the construction and it not being just off the interstate for easy off and on but it was worth it. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was they don't allow for substitutions on any menu items. You have to get it exactly how it is listed on the menu. The service was great even at the bar where we had to sit because it was very crowded. Petty issue was they took the game off the tv we were watching to put on the SAME game that was already on 5 TVs. Otherwise will def eat here again next time I'm in town! GEAUX TIGERS! ;)”
“It's a great place for locals and college crowd to mix. Much more relaxed then your typical bar near campus. Arcade and pinball games are great. Smoking areas out back and in the front. Booths are comfortable for a group. Bartenders are fast, and friendly.”
“Parking: To get onto the sidewalk from either side of the street you'll have to wheel your way there in the middle of the street since to access the sidewalk in the middle of the block you'd have to step up two steps. Oh, and the sidewalks are quite narrow.Wheelchair accessibility: While accessible, it is still difficult. The floor is uneven and the entrance to the building as well as the bathroom is tight. .”
“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!”
“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.”
“Great Italian food! The service members are friendly and helpful, food plentiful, wait not long, and everything is clean.The only things I do not like are the salads and dressing. I don't care for iceberg lettuce or Italian dressing. Too bitter.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Attention all fast-food aficionados: Mariah at Slim Chickens is about to redefine your dining experience! Her customer service skills are so legendary, I wouldn't be surprised if she had her own fan club. The food is so finger-licking good. Thanks, Mariah, for turning my fast-food pit stop into a memorable feast—I'm officially singing your praises to anyone who will listen!"”
“Hokkaido is one of the most popular Japanese restaurants in Tuscaloosa, so if you are looking to go here at a normal time ,expect a crowd. The food here is good, but a little on the saltier side. Most of the time, the food is fresh and seasoned well. The last visit I had, my salad was not so fresh, but the rest of the food was great. I am a sucker for crab Rangoon, but I feel like I get more of the fried batter than the filling. They still taste great, and the chili dip it comes with is fantastic. I usually stick with the chicken Hibachi. I have tried the steak and the filet, but if you get either, you will probably want to dip them in yum yum sauce unless the recipe has changed. Personally, if I have to use a sauce on a steak, i don't like it. I'm not saying the steaks aren't good. I'm just saying the chicken is better. My wife usually gets sushi rolls when we go, and they are delicious. The dragon roll is my personal favorite. All in all, if you go at an odd time or don't mind the wait, this is a great Japanese restaurant.”
“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!”
“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 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.”
“4/10/24 Food was fresh hot delicious had Fajitas nachos i could have just ordered that but we didn't it was super packed and live at dinner time by 7pm ish waitress was nice and helpful because it was our 1st time he spent around44.00 it was worth it will be back for the gumbo next..Parking: you will have to park atleast a half of block away unless you are bless to pull up when someone is backing out ?”
“Hole in the wall kind of joint. This is where you eat when you want a meat-n-3 where the food is made the old fashioned way instead of someone just opening a can.”
“Service was excellent, in particular, the hostess Maddie was extremely warm and inviting. The atmosphere was welcoming, and our food was cooked to perfection. Overall, Outback made for a fantastic dining experience!”
“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 ❤️❤️❤️”
“Food is just as wonderful as the people. Great service every time I go there. Always greeted with a smile. Would recommend anyone to go there, you will not be disappointed.”
“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.”
“My first time here and I had an amazing time! The food was good I ordered fried catfish, okra, and French fries. 10/10! My server was amazing checked on us constantly and was very nice. I definitely have to come back again!”
“The food was really good and the staff was really nice and helpful. The restaurant has this deli type of vibe. If it didn't smell like Greek food you wouldn't know what you were getting. But I like that it doesn't perpetrate this strictly traditional thing that it's not.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Great service always, need to clean their tables with bleach before the next family comes in to eat but other than that it's great eating their oh yeah and please make sure your bathrooms aren't messy and stocked up. They usually are but I guess they got busy last time I was 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 ”
“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!”
“Really enjoyed my visit to OEC! Not only is the food top-notch, but their portions are so generous, leaving me with some to enjoy at home. I ordered over the phone, and my order was fresh and ready when I got there! Will be coming back for more!”
“Big Al's is by far the best place to hang out, relax, meet new friends and just have an amazing time. The staff are very friendly especially Lisa and Teresa.”
“The food was excellent. I haven’t been here in years and the place looks modernized and nice change. Cheese bread was good . Recommend the goat and the meat appetizer.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“I could never say enough good things about this place. We’ve been coming here for 3 years and have NEVER had a bad experience! We always ask for Hector who is absolutely amazing. He’s been waiting on me since I was a freshman in college and has always been the best. The food is great and not terrible in price for what you get.”
“Good is real good but they don’t have any prices up. They just start ring up and you don’t get a receipt. Plus the customer service is awful. As good as the food is I won’t go back because of the awful customer ”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!!!!”
“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!!”
“First time coming here and will definitely be back. Food was terrific as well as the customer service. Bourbon shrimp is a must and crab Rangoons are phenomenal!”
“Just here for the veggies most days. Got the catfish today on a whim and from now on I’m dropping a veggie for this. My kids got shrimp, burgers and a grilled pimento cheese. Everything great. Nice and hot. 10-15 minutes for food. Nice waiter.We sat outside on the back porch. Nice breeze today. Great experience.Owner came by and checked on us. They’re opening for dinner very soon. We’re regulars on Saturday Brunch and they’ve starting serving MIMOSAS!!!! and drinks.”
“Walked in on a Friday was greates with wonderful hospitality being from out of town . Enjoyed the grown folk and great music. Plus Dave shared his pizza with me knowing I was traveling across country”
“The Houndstooth is a T-town landmark sports bar. We dropped in on a Saturday afternoon during a Crimson Tide football game on TV. It has ample seating indoors and on a large street side patio. We sat at the bar and had excellent service. There are dozens of large screen TV's throughout providing good viewing of the Alabama game. We ordered some adult beverages and some bar food (wings, rings, fries and quesadillas). We were surprised when the food arrived at the bar in cardboard "to go" style boxes. ??? (The bar food comes from a related take-out place next door.). The food was good but the wings were very small (sparrow wings?) and the onion rings were disappointing as rings go - over cooked, breading crumbly and greasy. Alabama won the game clinching yet another SEC-West title. The place erupted in cheers and the bar cranked up Sweet Home Alabama which got everyone singing. Five stars for the ambience and service but three for the food. Hey, it's a sports bar, so I wasn't expecting a super gastronomic experience. Lots of spirit and energy on game day. The Houndstooth rocks. Roll Tide!!”
“New business…. Friendly staff…. Homemade tortillas and on Thursday Homemade Tamales… I ordered Pollo a la Mexicana…. Very good…. My wife ordered Tacos Carne Asada (beef) and Tocos Pollo ( chicken)… will come back!”
“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.”
“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”
“I had the pork chop brunch plate with potatoes and fried egg and it was AMAZING! Pork chop was full of flavor and cooked to perfection. Tasted like it came straight out of a black iron skillet actually!!! Which is a plus of course. Live music was playing in the bar and it was quit delightful! My new fav place in Tuscaloosa to escape downtown. My compliments to the chef. Do keep it up.”

“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 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.”
“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.”
“First time here. Was getting groceries at the Publix’s decided to stop in to get some sushi and relax before shopping. This place is a nice little gem. The food was amazing. The service was great. The decor and atmosphere was perfect. Definitely will be back.”
“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!”
“First time customer. Got the 20 inch pepperoni and the 12 inch Mama Mia. In the photo you can get an idea of the difference between a 12 inch and a 20 inch pizza by the boxes. Sorry I was too busy eating to post pictures of the actual picture.The 20 inch pizza was all you could hope for in a New York style crust. It folded well and had a good chew. IYKYK!! Even better it passed the late night or breakfast cold pizza test by not getting soggy and the crust still retaining its integrity. Also reheated well(375 for 8 min got everything warm without over crisping the crust). The 12 was fine but wasn't as tasty as I was expecting with the garlic confit. But that could just be me.Yes the price seems expensive but just from the 20 inch we got 5 meals, Dinner and lunch for 2 plus breakfast for 1, out of it. Making the cost about 8 dollars a meal. Which is less than you pay for a hamburger combo at your favorite fast food restaurant.I didn't put anything for the atmosphere because I was there at 330 in the afternoon, on a Thursday, and I was the only one there. But the staff were nice and tried to explain to me the size of the 20 inch pizza. I wouldn't say they failed as much as I would say I failed to truly understand.Best Pizza I have eaten in Tuscaloosa. Next time I am going to try the Sicilian style crust! Only recommendation I would have is that they display the pie pans so customers would get a true understanding of the size of the pizzas.?Parking: Seem to be a good number of spaces. Just be careful of the grade to the road on the entrance and exit.”
“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.”
“First visit and Excellent food. We should have come months ago. Baked chicken fell off the bone and was so tender. My husband thought the catfish was the best in tuscaloosa. Very excited to try more very soon. Fresh and homemade and friendly service.”

“This store needs more employees. we had party of 5 with 2 kids. waited 45 to 50 minutes to be seated and the restaurant wasn't packed out. their just understaffed. the waitress did her best and kept saying to please be patient she'd be right back with drinks and so forth. she had to plate the food as well as take orders and fill drinks. the food was good though. we were there a total of about 2 hours. that's just too long.”
“My daughter and I went for dinner last Thursday..I haven't been there in a while ...We were seated quickly, then our waitress came to us and said that she is working 2 stations ... She took our appetizer order and drinks ... She brought rolls .. She came and took our order and left ..We received our fried pickles and drinks ..We sat there and waited for our food which seem like forever ..She can and refilled our drinks and said she just turned our order in ...She should have turned in our order after we received our pickles when she took our dinner order ... She was a nice lady but it was a Thursday and not overly busy or crowded... Don't know when we will be back !!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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”
“Stop in for some lunch for the family it’s been a long time since I last ate chipotle. My bowel was delicious could have used more corn but was very good. Mother and brother was satisfied with their bowls they just felt like they could have used more cheese”
“Service is slow at this location. There is a wall between front counter and drive thru window that obstructs the visibility of customers waiting at the inside counter.”
“This play area is open! Thank God! Many CFA’s closed down their play area after COVID and turned it into a break, storage, or meeting room. Thank you Greensboro Tuscaloosa, Alabama operator for still caring about families and children!”

“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!”
“I had the pork chop brunch plate with potatoes and fried egg and it was AMAZING! Pork chop was full of flavor and cooked to perfection. Tasted like it came straight out of a black iron skillet actually!!! Which is a plus of course. Live music was playing in the bar and it was quit delightful! My new fav place in Tuscaloosa to escape downtown. My compliments to the chef. Do keep it up.”
“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!”
