Stopped in before the game for lunch. Quaint little spot with limited seating. It was busy, now I know why. We sat at the counter. Itâs an old school kind of BBQ spot. The ribs and pulled pork were amazing! Sauce was great! I would defiantly go back, itâs a must visit.

Had the privilege of having an amazing dining experience for two days in a row. I canât express how amazing the food was. Beyond the food the service was beyond hospitable. The waitress was extremely knowledgeable and extremely courteous. The manager came to see how things were going and ended up being one of the nicest people around. The server was Jackie Lake and the manager was Yaseria Woods. Jackie was training an amazing apprentice Jason who was extremely helpful and really attentive. I look forward to coming back many more times. Thanks for the great service and amazing food.

Next door to Bryant Denny Stadium. This place is an institution. A recent ownership change has breathed some new life into the place with some expanded menu items, not that it was needed. Go for a burger and take your time. Parking can be tricky, but worth it. Go âwalk it offâ with a stroll up the strip or around campus.

We visited after a recommendation from a friend. She was absolutely right! Delicious meal and fun, casual atmosphere. Love how the smoker ovens are in the middle of the restaurant and fill the place with the aromas! The sauce is so wonderful that my very picky son asked to buy a jar to take home.

There's a good reason Five Bar is a top restaurant in T-Town....the food, the service, the drinks, and the atmosphere. It's everything you could possibly want from a bar / restaurant in a university town. The special drinks were with fresh muddled strawberries, not cheap strawberry flavor. The other special drinks were fresh and really good. I don't normally order special drinks because I find them mostly disappointing, but these were really good, and I will order them again. The service was outstanding....obviously students intent on making a good impression for the U of A, as they did.

We stopped in for lunch with our daughter while visiting. We had decent service and the food was good. Glad they had a veggie burger. Beer was cold! The place is what you would expect from a college town.

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.

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.

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.
