When my lunch was served today, I saw why it was not busy at high noon. Very, very disappointing. Macaroni and cheese and the baked beans had to have been left over from a day or so ago -- and they were not hot. Not even warm. Fried chicken was good. Very pricey for a poor product-- and I went home hungry. So did my companion. The server did a good job, and was apologetic. I didn't see anyone appearing to be in charge to address with the issue. We will not be back.

They made my coworker something that wasn't on their menu. They just looked it up and made it. Plus they were open when it was super cold and icy.

Service was great! Food was good. Atmosphere was welcoming. Well worthwhile. I'll be sure to stop by for a Sunday brunch every time I'm in town.

Always good service at five bar. Although the food options are limited (because it's five bar) their chicken is a weekly order for me. Jazz brunch is also nice on Sundays with parents.

What else can I say, ever since 5 Bar started 5 Java about 8 years ago I have had my morning coffee and breakfast at least 6 mornings a week, every month for every year since.

Mimosas 8/10Food 10/10 the sauces prepared with the food were amazing. Ambiance 7/10 Service 7/10 It's my birthday, the waitress knew that....a group of 4 came in 10 minutes after we ordered our food and they're food was prepared and given to them before my husband and I were given our food.

Super good but service was really slow with not a lot of people there. we went on five dollars cheeseburger day, and our waiter did not do five dollar cheeseburgers. And took extra long.

5 stars! This place is a total vibe. We sat at the bar, our bartender was friendly & get us everything we needed. We even saw her squeeze fresh orange juice & grape fruit. We had 2 Mimosas & the Bordeaux Bourbon which were both phenomenal! will definitely be back!

Five Bar. I get it. There are just 5 entrees each night for dinner and it also has a beautiful historic bar. It's spacious and wide open inside the historic building. The bartender, Matt, was on point in keeping our adult beverages full. There is an incredible collection of hand painted pop-type art paintings on every wall. The food was very good and prepared in a small kitchen. The wait service did a good job taking care of us as the place got increasingly busy on a Saturday night.
Delicious cold brew coffee, amazing decor and vibe. Feels very cozy with gorgeous, creaky, antique hardwood floors and wooden carved onlays. Very unique, artistic decorations hang from the walls. A plush loveseat sits over by the window. There's almost always a gorgeous dog sitting somewhere. Everyone I've met who works here is friendly and makes terrific coffee drinks. It's my favorite place in Tuscaloosa to get coffee.

Delicious food. I got the steak, my wife got the salad with steak on top. Fun atmosphere. Prices very reasonable. If they have it get the bread pudding!

The atmosphere was super great! We were there during lunch so it was nice and quiet! My fish sandwich was great but could have used tartar sauce. My daughter order the cheeseburger she was dissatisfied, but the fries were amazing! We should have just ordered the fries!! Their menu is super small:) The service was good!

Come on who doesn't love chicken and waffles? Especially when the chicken is crispy and well seasoned and the waffle is fluffy and served with pecans on top. Certainly I loved it. It is a bar making the Bloody Mary bar, included pickled okra, a nice touch.

I love the simplicity of the menu! Everything is wonderful and the ambiance is relaxed and comfortable. Make a reservation!
