10. Dotson's Burger Spot
Reviewed By TomL911
Really terrific burgers. Had the Texas Tom which blends beef with chorizo for the 1/2 lb. patty, adds jalapeños, bbq sauce and cheddar cheese. I substituted a potato bun for the Texas toast...a truly delicious burger. Additionally, our server was exceptional; friendly, attentive, and really helpful since one member of our group needed to have a gluten free meal. It was a so good, we went there a second time during our business trip. Highly recommend.

Tuscaloosa, AL is a wonderful large small southern city (or alternately a small large southern town), with a distinct college town flavor. It is blessed with lots of natural beauty including the foliage (it's called the Druid City because of all of the oak trees) and a great river view. Unfortunately not many of the local restaurants or bars take advantage of this view. The Lookout is almost ther only one that does. Located atop the Indigo Hotel (reviewed previously separately) it offers the absolutely best views of the river, bridges and sunset in Tuscaloosa. For that it is without equal. Unfortunately the food and drinks the Lookout are, at best, just average. The food tastes ok, but it is barely more than pub food and certainly not really anything I would recommend for a full meal. It is also WAY overpriced (at least for ther quality and quantity of food you receive). I absolutely hate that fact. I SO want this place to succeed. With the view and potential it has it could be as GREAT place. Unfortunately, the execution leaves a lot lacking. In full disclosure, it probably is more like a 3.5, but forced to choose, I would rather rate it a 3 in hopes that they will step up their game.

A non-smoking bar with a NY atmosphere and no Bud Light? Yep, there's one bar and it's this one. I like to sit out back in the heat of summer and enjoy the fans and the shade, but there's great cool respite indoors, where the drinks are tasty and the bartenders know what they're doing. Pretty much the only classy joint in town.

Stopped in to the lounge several times while staying at the Capstone. Staff was great each time. Good variety of drinks. Variety of seating options, too. Nice.

Sat at bar to kill some time. Ordered a good Hendricks gin,but it came in a plastic cup. Do the smart thing on game day order a beer as for safety they use plastic on game day. The wings were fantastic, but the smallest wings I ever saw.Hey, I didnât see any pigeons on campus! Only kidding!

We were in Tuscaloosa on a college visit with my daughter checking out the University of Alabama and stopped by on a whim. Nice selection of craft beers brewed on-site. They also have a great non-alcoholic root beer for the young ones. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Dog friendly as well. Great place to get a great beer if you are in Tuscaloosa

In town for orientation at Bama and flowed the reviews to Avenue Pub. We were not disappointed. Tasty fish and chips, lightly breaded and very tasty. Bacon burger with fries was tasty as well. Fries were nicely seasoned, not just plain.Service was good, food presented as expected for a pub; in a basket. Overall enjoyable meal and lively pub atmosphere. Prices were reasonable for the quality and tatse.

Our award winning restaurants are known for local Gulf oysters and variety of Gulf Coast seafood with a New Orleans flare. The New Orleans influence extends throughout our menu featuring steaks, chicken, pasta and so much more. The ambiance has a French Q

My fiance and I ate dinner there this afternoon and our experience was amazing! Kaitlyn,our server was exceptional. She's extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We will definitely be back soon! And we will always ask for Kaitlyn to be our server. The food was incredible. We had the Royal Reds and the Redfish. The sweet potato cream burle was awesome. Also had the bloody marys with a oyster in the bottom of the glass! Everything was great. Kaitlyn was the best part of our experience. We are looking forward to returning to Halfshell very soon.
