Nice, it's pleasant. However I rated it low due to antiques being in a children's museum geared to towards toddlers and children, this is a major health hazard for LEAD POISONING. Antiques are a health hazard for lead poisoning and other heavy metals.

I went to a school field trip. It was very chaotic. When I have gone previously, there was a guide that taught the children about each exhibit. I was disappointed that they no longer do that. I like/enjoyed the exhibits. I took the time to teach my child about each one.

My daughter enjoyed it. Will return

We love CHOM! 💙 When we first visited, my daughter was going through a really tough time and wasn’t interested in playing, talking to anyone, or even coming back. Until she met Mr. Bryan, and everything changed. His patience, kindness, and fun energy broke through her walls and gave her the confidence she needed. He has a special way of engaging kids, sparking curiosity, and helping them feel seen. Thanks to the encouragement from Mr. Bryan, Ms. Laura (we miss her!), and the rest of the amazing CHOM staff, my daughter just started school- a milestone I never thought possible. CHOM isn’t just a fun place to play- it’s a place where kids are supported, encouraged, and inspired.

We really liked the museum a lot, it's small but the children really enjoyed it, one of the girls spoke Spanish, so we thought it was super cool, the bathrooms are clean and they have a small souvenir shop when you enter.

So much fun! The my kids and nephew, between ages 5-11, had a blast here. Multiple levels of things to do. The only thing to be aware of is that it's in the city and the closest parking is 2 hours, so it's something you need to be aware of to avoid being ticketed.

This places is amazing. They have so much interactive activies for the kids. We loved it so much. We are from Houston and I can say this place is worth to visit. No cafeteria. Gift shop only.

This is a beautiful walk. I could spend all day walking this area! It has a clean restroom area and it's pretty shaded.

I truly enjoyed strolling along the river and seeing the adorable woodchucks. So relaxing and clean. There are restrooms and a few shops along the way. You can even bring a picnic and BBQ. Plenty of parking.

We loved it ! Very pretty place.

Nice walking trail. Beautiful area of the city.

I love walking my dog in this park.

Nice, peaceful sitting at the river....

Beautiful space for walking, jogging, biking, and picnic possibilities when the weather is right. It’s paved, dog-friendly and partially shaded.

Great for hiking, fishing and camping. Beautiful views of the lake. This location offers different types of boat rentals for your pleasure. Be aware that this campground will be closing as of December 1 for a 100% remodel. Expected to be closed for a year, but hopefully sooner. After these renovations, it will be five stars hands down!

Good park for hiking or camping. You will pay a fee to enter the park. All the park employees we encountered were friendly and helpful. The trails could use more places to rest. The trails are lenghty so take plenty of water and energy snacks with you. A lot of wildlife which was a bonus.

North east trails are closed but still plenty of trails left to enjoy. Well maintained rolling trails. Must use the temporary parking lot about .3 miles before you get to the main parking area. Trail Forks shows the location of the parking lot.

This is a very nice park only about 9 miles from Tuscaloosa Alabama. It’s a great place to go hiking, mountain biking, boating and fishing. In the summer they have a nice swimming beach. We spent a beautiful day there today canoeing. The one thing that absolutely drives me nuts about the park however, is that as you drive in the entrance, the first thing you see is a line of recreational vehicles. It is so ugly! Why do they need to be parked here? If they have to rent out a place for these RVs, I wish they would do it a little bit out of sight. Otherwise, this is a very nice park, and they rent kayaks, paddle boats, and canoes. Those are very popular. The price was right. Normally it is four dollars a person, or two dollars for seniors.

This park is immaculate! Gorgeous setting for RV with a lot of mountain bike trails. They are marked very well too! This is a definite must stop campground.

Lake Lurleen is so beautiful and tranquil with stunning views. We were very impressed with the ease of parking our camper. Peacful place to fish. Also, it is a great place to camp if you are going to a University of Alabama game. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful place! The beach is very nice as well and the lake is extremely calm and relaxing. The fish weren't biting much but that didn't matter. Our two kids enjoy the state park so much they want to come back. The bathroom were okay. The staff was very helpful and eager to make our stay great. We stayed in the primitive camping area. It was one a good slope and the sites were really close to each other but only 3 of the 6 sites were used so it wasnt to bad.

The building itself is beautifully kept & overall absolutely amazingly gorgeous! There were some interesting facts & artifacts to look at. But, I will say there is so much more space that isn't being utilized that absolutely could be & would make this museum more attractive.

Very enjoyable and quite a few items to see. Well worth the money and time spent. Small gift shop that offers interesting earrings, shark tooth necklaces as well as meteorite necklaces. Took us maybe 30 minutes to see everything but worth the $5 admission - HIGHLY RECOMMEND going to the 3rd floor for the bee hive/exhibit -- it allows outside bees into their process and quite and amazing thing to see!

Amazing spot to explore for anyone interested in science, especially (aside from the obvious: fossils) anything to do with bees, geology, or crustaceans. The sensory room here is also a delight! The space is primarily designed for children but it was still a nice dim place to decompress for a moment.

This is a pretty neat gem on the UA campus! When I went I was the only visitor there, so it was very peaceful! The building itself is stunning, and there are a lot of neat bones and gems 💎 on display. The museum isn’t huge, but it’s definitely worth a visit. It’s also free for UA students - just show your ID!

The museum has only 5 visitor parking spots, all of which were taken. I drove around for 20 minutes but all I could find were spots reserved for students, faculty, staff, state vehicles, gas shutoff vehicles (?) but no nearby visitor parking spots. With no place to park, I finally left without being able to visit the museum. Judging from other comments, I'm not the only one to leave due to not being able to find a place to park. Quite disappointing.

Small but beautiful and relaxing place to visit. Small kids enjoy the diverse exhibits with interactive things. Parking is for an hour and 1 hour is good time to spend here.

Small but lots to learn and see.

Google Maps had this one all wrong. Apparently, all of the subdivisions encircling the lake have private residence only access that the general public can not use, thr main entrance that Google directs you to use even has a sign posted stating 'Google was wrong. Private drive.' After Google suggested this spot & driving an hour, my family & I spent nearly 2 hours trying to find a public access point without any success. The attached photos are taken from the road just past the 1st private drive subdivision, residence only, non-public entrance.

Lake Tuscaloosa is a gem in West Alabama. The water is clean and the surrounds are lovely anytime of the year. I live on the lake but we enjoy the Tuscaloosa Sailing Club throughout the year. TSC offers sailing, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, camping, ⛵ racing, and socials. The camaraderie of the membership is second only to the beauty of Lake Tuscaloosa.

I've lived in Tuscaloosa most of my life and been on the lake quite a bit. We recently moved to a waterfront property and I have to say, I now absolutely love the lake. I go out on it almost daily. Lots to see and explore.

Good lake if you're wanting to catch numbers of Alabama bass, decent crappie fishery as well. Bigger bass are fewer and further between. Find us on Youtube @ Bream Bass & Beyond for videos from Lake T as well as other area lakes!

Nice place..

The place Google took me was someone's house. Obviously it happens alot because they have a sign posted Google is wrong at the front of their house. The lake looked great from the road though.

Beautiful lake and a great place to take the grandkids fishing. When we went in the summer of 2017 we caught lots of small perch from the boat launch pier near the main entrance boat launch. Small pieces of chicken gizzards and worms worked for us.

A great history of University of Alabama’s long and honored sports excellence. Even if you’re not a sports enthusiast, the museum is worth a visit.

Really nice exhibits taking you through Alabama football history. $5 to get in, and you can see it all in an hour or less ... depending on how much you read, of course. Great way to start game day!

I love this place. So much of it is memorable and the rest is interesting to read and see. The video and audio interaction is great. It's always on the do list each visit.

University of Alabama football is a sports institution, and it has been made that way through a long tradition of winning that continues to this day. The man responsible for the school’s stellar reputation for winning is Paul Bryant. His years with the team, and the years of others who have coached the Crimson Tide for more than 130 years are on display at the Paul Bryant Museum. I visited the Paul Bryant Museum while attending parent orientation for incoming freshman. I was fully aware of Bryant and his tremendous success on the field, but I knew only a little bit about the specifics of his time at Alabama and the years before he became head coach at this school. A visit to the Paul Bryant Museum was exactly what I needed to educate myself on University of Alabama football and how it has shaped and influenced college football. This museum, while it is named after Paul Bryant and focuses on Paul Bryant, is really about the Alabama football team’s history as a whole. It steps you through the years of Bama football, starting way back in the 1800’s and continuing to the present day. The exhibits have much to read and learn and there are several noteworthy videos worth watching, to help you not just see but also hear about the people who played and coached at Alabama and helped make it the college football powerhouse that it is today. I learned much from visiting the Paul Bryant Museum, not just about Bryant, but also about other coaches and players. Although I am fully aware of Paul Bryant’s legacy, record number of college wins, etc, I’m not well- versed on Alabama football overall. I did not even know, for example, that NFL quarterback Ken Stabler played at Alabama under coach Bryant. I didn’t know about the event that earned Bryant his nickname, Bear. I learned all these things and more during my visit and I exited the doors with a significant increase in my Alabama football IQ. Alabama football has a fascinating past and the Paul Bryant Museum helps bring the memories back to life. Alabama football fans are certain to feel goosebumps as they tour this museum, but everyone who visits, even those with a marginal interest in the game, will come away feeling satisfied. It isn’t a very large museum and it can be visited in less than an hour. I wish it was bigger, and I would have liked to see even more exhibits, but this is still a good place to visit if you want to improve your knowledge of Alabama football and learn more about the people responsible for its rise to fame.

It costs a couple dollars to get in the door, but it’s worth it. There are some real relics in this building.

What an awesome place! If you love Alabama football and it's history, this is the place for you! Staff is nice, admission is cheap ($5 for adults) and we were able to take our time and enjoy the experience. Photos, articles, videos, and artifacts from the very beginning up until today, the life of the Alabama football program. The gift shop even had tiny red plastic elephants I plan to leave hidden all over my brother's house to remind him who is the best! (Sadly, he is a TN fan...😞)

We absolutely loved visiting this museum! It offered amazing views into the history of Alabama football and was a very family friendly space! And Olivia, the amazing lady who runs the gift shop, was wonderful!! We can't wait to visit again!

Awesome experience touring the University of Alabama with my daughter. Very beautiful campus and amazing academic/extracurricular programs for students to be a part and make impact. The place where legends are made.♥️🩶🤍

I have been to this campus twice now! I stayed at the on-campus hotel both times and the amenities were great. I also really appreciated all the signage on the campus. I'm a career readiness speaker and when I travel somewhere, I often don't know where to go. This campus has AWESOME signage!

Ah yes, the University of Alabama—that other school in the South where houndstooth and haphazard tailgating reign supreme, and where the library, I hear, is open most days. I had the distinct experience of visiting the campus once, though admittedly not for academic collaboration—more out of morbid curiosity and a friend’s ill-advised wedding. The campus is… fine. Expansive, certainly. Brick buildings that aspire to grandeur but somehow feel like they were designed by a committee of booster club donors. The quad is pleasant enough if one doesn’t mind the ever-present undercurrent of grill smoke and frat rock echoing from all directions. Academically, well—how to put this gently? The institution does try. I’m told they’ve made great strides in "business" and “communications,” which I suppose are respectable pursuits for those who find critical thought a touch exhausting. The honors college appears earnest, though one can only hang so many banners proclaiming “rising excellence” before one begins to wonder if the elevator ever reaches the top floor. Now, the students… bless them. Spirited, certainly. Proud to the point of delusion. One must admire their unwavering confidence—particularly those draped in crimson and white who treat SEC football victories as intellectual validation. I did attempt a conversation about Faulkner once with a young man in a “Roll Tide” tank top. It did not go well. As for the faculty, I’m sure there are pockets of brilliance hiding in the humanities department—or at least in whatever is left of it after the latest budget cut to make way for a new athletic facility. In conclusion, the University of Alabama is, I suppose, a suitable option for those who value tradition, spirited camaraderie, and the occasional economics lecture between football games. If one is seeking rigorous intellectual debate, a well-funded research environment, and classmates who can name more than one modernist author—well, Nashville might have been a wiser choice. But to each their own.

Absolutely appalled by the history tied to this institution. What happened with the syphilis experiments conducted in Alabama was one of the most inhumane, unethical acts ever done under the name of “research.” Human lives were treated as disposable, and the suffering of innocent people was ignored for decades. It’s shameful that such a tragedy was ever associated with a place of learning. A university should stand for truth, compassion, and ethics — not exploitation. The fact that this even happened is horrifying. Institutions involved in such acts should have been held fully accountable and permanently shut down.

There is such a rich history here, this is such a beautiful campus. The food is amazing, they also have different varieties for everybody. I have absolutely fallen in LOVE with UA! Nothing feels better than feeling loved the minute you walk onto a campus. As always Roll Tide!

The University of Alabama (UA), located in Tuscaloosa, is a prestigious public research university known for its strong academic programs, vibrant campus life, and storied traditions. Established in 1831, UA offers a wide range of undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs across disciplines such as business, engineering, law, education, and the sciences.

Saw a video of grown adults attacking someone for wearing opposite team shirt. You guys need to control your students its a sports shirt act like grown adults. Your students make the school look bad.

Northport is a little hidden (somewhat) gem next to its bigger sister, Tuscaloosa, and in that hidden gem in the delightful old part of Northport, Kentuck is a real treasure. We spent a delightful hour or so looking at the wonderful craft work and art work the shop offers for sale, and talking to the interesting man staffing the shop on the day we visited. Stop in when the shop-gallery is open and you won't be disappointed.

This place is awesome!! Several artist from all o er display their merchandise for sell inside. Once a month on Saturday they have a pop up for artist to sell outside in the courtyard. Lots of whimsical items to see!! Come check it out!!

Amy in the clay studio is AWESOME! She's a great teacher and very patient and encouraging to those of us with limited creativity. Will be back for classes in the fall!

First Kentuck Art Festival.amaxing talent both local and national. It was fun. October Fest bratwurst was horrible. But I was hungry and needed to eat. Poppin Sisters had it going on with there popcorn snacks. I was able to meet Betty Anderson from Wilcox County. She thrives and is a 911 survivor and creates beautiful works of art. I'm so blessed by God to have been at festival and to meet Betty. Thanks for the police and volunteers . It took alot to make this happen . Thank you Kentuck Art

Enjoy all different categories of art displayed along with meeting the artists! Band music on Sat afternoon was wonderful listening. Great choices for meal, snack, drinks.

Love downtown Northport and the Kentuck festival. I g every single year and buy one thing from artist that come from all over the US. Always love to hear their stories. And i always see something I've never seen before.

Spending the day focused on art was uplifting and joyful. The artist was a skilled teacher and beauty was created by all ten students.

Very disappointing that a large group of people, including international visitors from China, were at the house at 3:15 on Saturday and waited past 3:30 but no one came to open the house for the tour. If the tour guide is going to be late, somehow that needs to be communicated. DO NOT TRUST THE HOURS ON GOOGLE. There is only one tour a day at 3:30 PM Central and even that is iffy. Do not recommend this attraction!

Will gave an execlent tour. Very interesting architure, this is an elegant well built structure that is different from antebellum home. Rich in history of the family

We were here on a Monday so unable to take an interior tour but loved the architectural nuances of this beautiful home!

Excellent mansion. Very gorgeous, corteous and knowledgeable lady. Got to buy a nice book with the history of Tuscaloosa. Those are the tour times for the mansions.

Brandon gave an awesome tour, very informative and intact. They have Jefferson Davis' French mirror from his Mississippi estate.

I was in town for a few days for work. I decided to stop by, but they were closed. I walked around the outside of the property and got to see the beautiful architecture and the grounds. I looked online and didn't see any hours posted, so I went back a few days later, the parking lot was empty, closed. I'm sure it's a great tour and I probably just missed the hours somewhere. The building itself is beautiful.

The Jemison -Van De Graaff mansion is beautiful. I went for visit on March 10th 2023, I was greatly disappointed that I did not get to experience the tour. I drove a long ways to see the mansion, I didn't get a tour but I did walk around the mansion.I came conclusion that I not supposed to be walk around after meeting a bald, middle aged white gentleman who looked at me like I was going to tear the place up .I wish that I was actually able to receive a tour and that the bald, middle aged white gentleman had informed me that there was not going to be any tours, as he said to go down to the Battle Friedman house see the tour at 2:30 and I did and wasted my time. I can back to the mansion and found the door locked,like it should been in the first place,when closed.Called the number and officially learn of a event .Y'all need to update your website regularly and inform the public that you have an event going on what days.I shouldn't learn of an event by voicemail,phone call are not how people of the Twenty and Thirty age range look for info,ya'll are showing ya'll age. I am disappointed as a Alabamaian that this is experience was not as good as Pritchard house in Titusville, Florida or Molly Brown House Museum in Colorado Springs both of those societies had a regularly updated website, Facebook and kept with posted hours on signs located on premises.They also have events.I understand that historical societies need to make money and events are a good way to do that but people who want to experience and learn more about history are being neglected by lack of planning and care for visitors. I find that you are not using your tools effectively.Also lock your Mansion's door when not open to the public,your responsible for a lot of valuable history.

An exceptional place to watch a game but I dock them a star for lousy video board in game operations. They seldom replay any controversial play or penalty. It’s almost like they want the fans to sit on their hands and not get fired up. Better WiFi this year and the ice cold water stations located all around the stadium really help. Roll Tide!

Had a great time watching Alabama beat Auburn. Great seats and view. Bring an empty water bottle so you dont have to pay 4 or 5 dollars for water. French fries are 12 dollars so you are way better off wearing before you hit the stands.

First time ever going to a Alabama game while at home.. Had a blast. I can't wait to go back again. Wish the beer was cheaper

I've been to ALOT of Football Stadiums Neilan,Death Valley and the Swamp. It may not be the most football oriented stadium I have ever visited in college football.It would be nice if the right person would read this and bump my 3 season tickets up a couple of years.

The best stadium with the best gameday atmosphere in the SEC!! You simply MUST try a Denny Dog and/or a Conecuh Sausage dog! Dont forget the soft drink in the souveneir cup! They make great collectibles as well as very useful cups to take home and use. Concession prices are what you'd expect for pretty much any large event these days. There are plenty of concession stands on every level, and TVs above each so that you dont miss any of the game action while in line. Lines move relatively fast as the hot dogs and sausages are already made and you grab it at the counter before paying. If youre coming for the game, be sure to take in the Walk of Champions about an hour or so before the game. Line up along the front entrance walk early for a good spot to watch and cheer the team as they get off the busses and walk into the stadium. Afterward, be sure to visit the statues of all of the prior National Championship winning coaches before heading inside! Prior to the game, you can walk all the way down to field level and stand right behind the sidelines as the teams do warm ups. Overall an amazing fun experience for any college football fan! ROLL TIDE!!

I'm not Bama fan, but Vols for Life! I know I was in the enemies camp, but the experience of this stadium is AWESOME! THE atmosphere was electric!!

We had a great experience here, very well run! The shuttles ran efficiently, plenty of bathrooms and very walkable tail gate areas. The staff was friendly and helpful. Easy to get in and out of the stadium, plenty of signs!

Small hamburger place in the shadow of Bryant-Denny stadium. Hamburgers, hot dogs, variety of breakfast foods. Very interesting atmosphere and decor. Food was just average. Average cheese burger and average crinkle cut fries.

A classic spot that captures the spirit of college football. The walls are covered in Crimson Tide memorabilia, making it a must-visit for any Bama fan. The SEC Champ breakfast is a standout—hearty, delicious, and the perfect way to start your day. With generous portions and that home-cooked Southern flavor, it’s easy to see why it’s a favorite. Whether you’re gearing up for game day or just looking for a great meal, Rama Jama’s delivers every time. Roll Tide!

This is a hallmark. If you come to T Town this is a must eat must see. Absolutely amazing memorabilia the food and atmosphere is off the chain. So many people come there it's that amazing and delicious.

Kinda nostalgic to be in the shadow of Bryant Denny. We had breakfast food for brunch which is always a plus. The food was decent, but nothing to write home about. The staff was great and the memorabilia was cool. Probably really cool on game days.

This is the place to go if you're a BAMA fan as you could spend hours here looking at all the memorabilia. Food was very good, with my wife raving about the Fried Green Tomato sandwich and the Peach Pie which she said was even better than the one at The Varsity in Atlanta. Just be sure to get there early for a parking spot and a seat!

Roaches actively walking throughout restaurant Roof leaks at several spots that have not been fixed in years Entire restaurant is overly dirty

as an Auburn fan, this place has what it needs as a historical college football restaurant regardless of what team you pull for. Good food, lots of ambience of the college sports program. Definite must visit.

First time eating here after living in Tuscaloosa for three years. Went with a few buddies and was blown away. Fantastic atmosphere and even better service. Nicodemus drink was awesome. Will definitely be coming back in the near future.

Ate here for the first time and the food was excellent as was the wait staff. We got there early so no wait for a table. Well worth the money. We were invited there by someone else, so was a little leery because of the recent complaints of racism. However, since all the staff seems to be African American, it doesn't seem to be a problem for them Also, people who didn't actually witness the event should probably not judge or comment.

I saw the video that was enough for me I won’t be patronizing this restaurant, I had to rate it so I could post my review I wish I could give them a zero

Absolutely amazing place. The atmosphere is fantastic. I was recommended to go here by a local and i dare say that filet was the best steak i have had in a long time. Perfection. Perfectly cooked and rested which some place don't do for some reason. The fries were disceptively good. Soft interior and crispy exterior. Even the free biscuits and salad were amazing. I ordered enough to take leftovers back to the hotel and i unashamedly gobbled it all but. I hope i come through here again to have another great experience!

This place is a fun experience. We got there at 5:30p and we waited 45 min for a table for two. They brought us whatever drink we wanted while we waited outside the building. It is a small place, so there were a lot of tables inside that were very close together and no room to wait inside. I had the Nick’s burger and added cheese with onion rings. I am really picky about my burgers and ate every bite. The onion rings were a good texture but I did not enjoy the flavor of the batter as much. We also ordered chicken gizzards, but they came out after we were almost finished with our meal. I only tried one, and I did not like the texture of them. I believe they are chewy by nature anyway. However, my husband enjoyed eating them all up. They did not charge us for the gizzards because they came out so late, so we only paid $28 for our two burgers. The wait staff was very nice and I am looking forward to visiting again.

Sad to share this experience because Nick's was highly recommended and we were so looking forward to it 😢 We waited outside for an hour and ten minutes for a table and another hour and ten minutes at the table before I asked how much longer would our food be ready. "In two minutes" At this point we had had all we could take of the elbow to elbow seating, extremely loud talking in a very small space and other tables that came in after us receiving their food. So, we asked for our order to go 😑 We were served the salad (bagged lettuce) while we were waiting🤮 Took our order (filet and potato) (hamburger steak and potato)and glady left. Everything was overcooked except for the rolls and they were not cooked at all😅 Go at your own risk 🙃 and have at least 3 hours to blow!!

“Nick’s in the sticks” This place is a cute mom and pop restaurant with a great atmosphere. Everything is super cheap. Got the large filet 6oz for under $20 and it was bacon wrapped and well worth it since it came with a salad and homemade onion rings. Plenty of food! Now the best part is the drinks! $2.5 beers ($4 Stella)and $5.50 nicodemus drink was great with 151 proof rum, tastes like Hawaiian punch. Would recommend and hopefully can make it back some day. They stay busy!

We had some poor time management on our part and ended up an hour early for our reservation. Ordered a drink at the bar and they were able to get us sat within 15 minutes. From the front desk, to the bar, to our server everyone was extremely kind and accommodating. They had several specials including a scallop dish with a miso glaze. It was honestly one of my favorite things I've ever eaten. Atmosphere, food, and service were impeccable across the board. We'll definitely be visiting again.

5 Stars – Perfect Anniversary Dinner! We visited Evangeline’s Restaurant in Tuscaloosa for our anniversary dinner, and it was absolutely wonderful! The food was amazing fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Everything came out within a reasonable time, and the service was top notch. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, checking on us throughout the meal to make sure we were completely satisfied. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, which made the night feel even more special. Our first time eating this fancy and I’d say this is what fancy dining is. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great dining experience, whether it’s for a special occasion or just a night out. We’ll definitely be coming back!

I've been a patron for 20 years. This is without a doubt my favorite restaurant of all time. I consider myself a food critic that has been to restaurants all over the globe. I am also a total snob. The staff is one of the most genuine slices of America you will ever find. The service is white table cloth quality. The food is awesome. You will not find a place as unique as this anywhere else. This restaurant legitimizes Tuscaloosa as a foodie town.

We had dinner there last night. I made reservations and we got there a few minutes late. We sat for about 30 minutes before someone came and took our drink order. Once our waitress knew we were her table the service went from 0-100. We had delicious cocktails, whiskey sour and lemon drop and salads for our appetizers. We both had the fillets for dinner. The food was cooked perfectly!!!! I didn’t have any room for dessert but my hubby had a yummy caramel ice cream. When the bill came the Hostess came to the table and let us know they were taking our entrées off the bill. We were in shock but so very grateful. We paid the bill and left the waitress a very nice tip. I can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience and this great restaurant. We can’t wait to come back and eat there again.Thank you so much for a wonderful evening. Love the Couple from NY ❤️

Finally got the chance to visit. Had an incredible time. Atmosphere was excellent. The crab cakes were recommended to me and they are now among some of my favorite I've ever tasted. Great spot for a date night or a special occasion.

Great variety in menu items, rotating new steak, soup, and seafood options frequently. Excellent staff. David is attentive to detail and his managerial/ownership skills are the best in town. Best place in town for a date. Highest recommendation possible.

The service was absolutely impeccable! I love our waitress and even the manager came to congratulate me and my boyfriend on our way out! They helped him put together a special ask! Also, the food was amazing!

We recently dined at Chuck restaurant and left extremely disappointed, especially considering the steep prices. The atmosphere was overwhelmingly loud due to the excessive echo, making it necessary to almost shout to have a conversation. We started with the stuffed shrimp, which was excellent, but the ahi tuna was a major letdown. It was overly spicy, masking any flavor of the tuna, and the vegetables that accompanied it had a strange smell and taste. We waited 45 minutes to be seated and another 30 minutes for our food. To top it off, the sushi we ordered didn't arrive until after we had finished our meal and dessert. The final bill for two, without drinks and excluding the sushi, came to over $110. Overall, the service and food did not justify the cost, and we won't be returning.

As a fish connoisseur I tried both menus, the sushi was outstanding . The catch of the day I waited for quite some time but it came out cold. Overall good experience, had to sit at the bar as it was so busy.

Visited on a Friday when football game was away. Arrived around 5:30 pm. Parking about 3 to 4 blocks away. Once inside, seated quickly with immediate service. Spring roll appetizer was excellent. Blackened mahi mahi with an ettoufe was excellent and made me feel like I was back in New Orleans. My buddy had the seared Tuna , which was excellent also. Will definitely visit again on my next trip through Tuscaloosa.

The New York strip steak was wonderful, probably the best one in Tuscaloosa. Focaccia bread as an appetizer was great but could’ve been a little less greasy. The white chocolate bread pudding was below average. Little to no flavor, unfortunately same with the sundae that came with it (but was initially missing when I received the order). Interestingly enough my table ordered this dessert three times and everyone got a different sauce on it. One got caramel, the other strawberry, and the last one chocolate (which was the sauce advertised on the menu). Sauce was also lacking flavor. Would come back for entree and appetizers. However, the state of the facilities is almost unacceptable for this price range. Dining room looked good, but the private room upstairs was old, small, and not well maintained. Having more than a handful of people in it made it impossible to have conversations as the noise has no where to go as the ceiling was not very high. Overall, the room looked more than a closet space than a fancy private room for an upscale dining experience. Even worse, the men’s restroom was unacceptable. The soap dispenser is hanging on to dear life and almost fell into my hands when I tried to use it and water from the faucet in the sink is spraying out uncontrollably. Generally, the restroom wasn’t clean at all. Servers were great. Needs to improve facilities for me to consider the price worth it.

We had our rehearsal dinner on 10/24/25 and the catering manager was absolutely amazing! We rented to room upstairs and it was so incredibly spacious and nice, the wait staff was fantastic, the food delicious and Kristen was just the most incredibly helpful person I would recommend using them for any of you event needs 10000000/10

Food was Delicious! I had the zoo roll and rock and roll sushi. Started eating before taking pics. Everyone enjoyed their food! The waitress was great! There was a wait but it was well worth it.

Chuck’s Fish is located downtown Tuscaloosa and is one of my favorite restaurants in Tuscaloosa. The food is always fresh and the service is always great. If you have a large party I would come early if you don’t want to wait. If it’s game day you definitely need to plan ahead. The sushi is great, actually some of the best. There pizzas are also excellent. It’s all great!

Everything about this place is awesome! The food exceeded my expectations! For the price you’re not gonna do any better! I would call this place a gem but everybody knows about it. Lol. Super friendly Staff; beautiful downtown location. If I could give the food six out of five stars I would. It really does stand out in Tuscaloosa.

FIVE in Tuscaloosa is a refreshing take on upscale casual dining with a Southern soul. True to its name, the menu is beautifully streamlined—five appetizers, five entrees, five wines, five cocktails—keeping things simple but far from ordinary. The atmosphere hits that perfect balance between trendy and cozy, with exposed brick, ambient lighting, and live music often setting the tone for an inviting night out. Whether you’re seated inside or enjoying the vibe from their outdoor patio, the service is attentive without being overbearing. Favorites from the menu? The white chicken chili is rich, warm, and full of flavor—a crowd favorite for good reason. The shrimp & grits delivers big with creamy texture and bold seasoning, while the Filet is tender, perfectly cooked, and beautifully plated. Their FIVE Burger is a comfort food home run with gourmet flair. Cocktail-wise, the bar does not disappoint. The FIVE Mule and the House Old Fashioned are excellent, and the wine list—though short—is well-curated. In a city filled with college-town staples, FIVE stands out as a spot that feels a bit more elevated, yet still approachable. It’s ideal for date night, catching up with friends, or just treating yourself to a really good meal. Rating: 4.7/5 Refined, flavorful, and always consistent—FIVE proves less is more.

Cool old school bar room atmosphere. Excellent service, delicious food and refreshing drinks. Full bar available. There are only five main course options, but none disappoint. Highly recommend the bread pudding dessert. Super moist, light, airy and ridiculously delicious.

The Five Tuscaloosa offers a warm, inviting atmosphere and stellar cuisine. The red snapper, shipped fresh from Harbor Docks in Destin, is flaky and flavorful. Save room for the delicious vanilla bread pudding—a perfect finish!

Happened to pop in on a Sunday afternoon and had the best experience. Place was full with high energy. Ordered the breakfast burger which was perfection. None of the flavors overwhelming. Burger was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Icing on the cake was an incredible musician playing live music on the saxophone (and other wind instruments). It was just such a great experience. Can’t wait to go back for another Sunday. Must try.

We were in Tuscaloosa for a teacher professional development. Five was recommended to us and we loved it! The atmosphere was perfect, the food was fun and tasted great. Our server Harrison was also very accommodating. I hope to return. Roll tide.

Neat place, loved the atmosphere & food was terrific. There is only a brunch menu for Saturday & Sunday so I plan to go back during the week to try out some of the highly recommended items on the full menu. I had chicken & waffles & they were GREAT

This was a great experience. I’m traveling for work and the bartender was super friendly and knowledgeable. I had the bacon burger and the avenue Palmer. Both were splendid. I specifically asked for my burger to be medium rare and it came out PERFECTLY. (See picture attached) highly recommend this place!

We stopped.here after graduation commencement. My grandaughter loves the crispy chicken sandwich. I had the fish sandwich. It was good. The fries were great.

Riley was our server, and he went way above, and beyond to make us feel welcome, and like we were the VIPs! The food was awesome but the service was top notch. We started with the Fried green tomatos, then we had the pimento cheese chicken sandwich (I took the bread off because I knew I couldn't eat it all) and the Fried green tomato BLT. It was all soooo very good. We will definitely visit again when we are back in town!

Fantastic food and staff with such a cool building! Super fast service while still getting quality food. I will definitely be returning soon. I got the pepper jelly chicken sandwich with Mac n cheese. So flavorful and delicious!

The food at Avenue Pub never disappoints, offering many unique sandwich options like Pimento BLT and Chicken Pepperjelly sandwiches. Their selection of craft beers is great too, with options from Tuscaloosa, Birmingham, and around the state.

Here for Bama Family Weekend. Great Spot on the Downtown strip close to campus. Had a large table of 9 . Great service, tasty food. Crispy brussels sprouts, fried green tomato with pimento cheese on top, with a nice kick. Entree I had the spinach salad with goat cheese, red onion , Dijon vinaigrette and grilled chicken that was moist, seasoned perfectly and actually cha grilled. I'll be back for sure!

Had a nice dinner. Table was wobbly but our server addressed the problem quickly. Sydney was our server and did a great job. She provided honest feedback when we asked about menu items and recommendations.

We stopped for breakfast before the Bama game. What a cool old breakfast spot. Tight seating inside but the service was really good. Real country breakfast food. The country ham and biscuits were delicious. The fried taters were really good to. Authentic country cooking at its finest.

The food was sadly ok. I wanted it to so badly be better. Cold cornbread made me the saddest . Ill try it again and hopefully tip the scales but the short story is they are surviving with a different generation. Time will tell.

Best breakfast in Tuscaloosa, hands down. Love the food, the atmosphere, and the history. I got country ham, red eye gravy, scrambled eggs, grits, and homemade biscuits. The food was great. My server was fantastic. There is a lot of history with the atmosphere here. I may not be one of the regulars, but as much as I can when I am in town, I will be a regular.

Can't say enough about this place. There was a wait to get in on an early Sunday morning, but I was alone, so sat right down. The service was as expected, kind and courteous. The food was as good as home cooking. Ambiance is all Alabama. Roll Tide.

GREAT place to stop for a REAL old fashioned breakfast and DELICIOUS! Biscuits are soft and touched by angels. The red eye gravy is just like I remember my grandma making and the tomato gravy was amazing. I’ll be making a plan to stop here again!

Visited Waysider for breakfast while in town. I saw reviews say this is a must-do and they were right. The food was great and at a good value.

This is a must visit for locals, travelers, and tourists alike. If you’re interested in Alabama pics and portraits, the walls are literally covered. The place is small, but cozy. Even with a wait for tables, it moves pretty fast. They have a traditional breakfast menu and wonderful, friendly service. HIGHLY recommended.

A great Meat and Vegetable place to grab lunch or even a nice breakfast. If you are in Tuscaloosa when UA is in session then you should stop here and catch the local flavor. It’s been in business for a long time and there is a reason… it’s good.

Go for the food. Service is friendly but be prepared for a wait. Locals are used to it but first-timers may be in for a shock at the line. You wait for a table to be free and seat yourself. It’s also not the kind of place where you languish over your meal. Eat and move on. If you have mobility issues, this is probably not the place for you as there is only a bench to sit while you wait. My mom is 90 with a walker and had to sit outside until a table was free. Granted, we knew this. They do take-out. No complaints, it’s just how it is. I can’t wait to return!

Amazing place! I went here for breakfast. The food was delicious and the prices were great. The staff were incredibly friendly and made me and my group feel at home. A lot of great options on the menu. I chose the bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich with lettuce and tomato, and it was a great way to start my day. Great place to go if looking for a good meal and welcoming atmosphere! If you are in the Northport or Tuscaloosa area, this is a great local place to support!

City Café in Northport, Alabama, is a cherished institution that has been serving hearty Southern comfort food since 1931. Located at 408 Main Avenue, this family-owned diner offers a nostalgic dining experience with its classic “meat and three” meals, where patrons choose a main entrée and three side dishes from a rotating daily menu. Popular offerings include fried chicken, meatloaf, hamburger steak, and beef tips, accompanied by sides like mac and cheese, fried okra, and turnip greens.  The atmosphere at City Café is warm and welcoming, with friendly staff and a vintage diner setting that evokes a sense of community. Reviewers often highlight the generous portions and affordable prices, making it a favorite among locals and visitors alike.

A classic meat-and-three spot where locals line up early. I grabbed fried chicken with collard greens, mac & cheese, and cornbread — all tasted like pure Southern comfort. It’s busy but moves fast, and the prices are almost unbelievably low for the quality.

We stopped in on our way to Atlanta…it was a cute homey /local lookin kinda place… easy and relaxed . Home style cookin

Honestly, given City Cafe’s reputation, I was disappointed. They serve very simple southern dishes. The fresh vegetables were excellent. The chicken and dumplings were excellent. The Cole slaw was excellent. The baked chicken strips were dry and somewhat tasteless. The chicken fried steak appeared to be a frozen patty not made in house. It was also somewhat tasteless and appeared to chicken instead of beef. The deserts were average. Service was excellent. I wish I could give more stars but the food was just too inconsistent.

Everything about this place was fabulous!! We were welcomed and seated very quickly with smiling faces. Our server was Alana, I highly recommend request if you can. She was very attentive even while juggling other tables/parties. The food was delicious and fresh. I highly recommended anyone from out of town enjoying the experience of DeDALMA'S when in Tuscaloosa!!

Had a Caesar salad with the additional salmon! Wasn’t in a pasta mood. First time here, portions are good, food was great and they catered to us. A loud italian restaurant but the vibes are good & Our waitress was so kind.

Quaint Lil place in downtown Tuscaloosa, friendly staff, great appetizers, super entrées. We ordered the stuffed shells with Asiago cream sauce, extra mushrooms. Outstanding! Wife had Mediterranean pasta with Salmon, there was so much, and so good, she brought some back to hotel for another day. Bread was a good accomplice with meal. If we do return any time soon, it's on the list to go back to.

The restaurant was packed out on a Tuesday night, so I sat at the bar. I could see how the wait time could get long. The food itself was pretty good. Not amazing, but not "Olive Garden" quality as others have stated. I had the stuffed mushrooms and the daily lasagna with a Caesar salad.

After a long trip from another state, we were looking forward to a pleasant Italian dinner. This quaint restaurant has great potential: the atmosphere is nice and the location guarantees a lot of customers. We were seated immediately and Carlos was our server. He was very snippy, but gave fast service. One of the wines we wanted was unavailable but we were able to substitute. This is the end of anything good to say, as I begin to review the food. I ordered spaghetti with Bolognese sauce and it was unlike any Bolognese I've ever seen. It was floating in 1/2 inch of water. There were tiny pieces of flat meat in it which I'm beginning to think was bologna. Is it possible they made Bolognese with bologna? It was thick and very tomato-y and pretty much tasteless. I took 2 bites and was finished. Obviously, the garlic bread is purchased already sliced, coated in a fake butter and garlic powder, then frozen. It was so bad. I've pictured the Pasta DePalma which came with a "cap" of broiled cheese. Underneath was a tasteless, watery sauce, chicken and ice cold mushrooms. Please, anyone, where can you get a good meal in Tuscaloosa? It was so disappointing. We were taking someone out for a special dinner and special it was not. We spent over $130 for food we boxed up, unable to eat.

A mixed review: love the space, high ceilings and old style decorations. Great service, very attentive. But the food was meh... mid week lunch, the special lasagna $30 definitely over priced and far from great.. gloppy, chewy and in a bowl swimming in excess liquid. A veggie pasta lunch $15 was so-so with the veggies all a bit more crunchy than ideal. (Didn't have the pizza which might be good.) Portions were very large. My opinion is they should reduce portion size and learn/adopt more modern menu & chef - maybe import someone from Bottega or Gian Marco....

We love Italian food especially homemade pasta, but found no homemade pasta here & pizza was dry. We did ask for extra sauce & they brought out a tomato soup like pizza sauce that had no flavor & charged $3. Atmosphere & service was very nice and bottle price on wine looked very reasonable.

River Restaurant is the kind of place that just gets it right from the moment you walk in. The space itself is warm and inviting, with a big pizza oven at the front of the dining room looked amazing. This place also had the perfect layout for an open kitchen. Sitting out on the porch is highly recommended—you get a great view overlooking the river, which really adds to the experience. We sat out here during sunset and it was absolutely outstanding. The food was excellent across the board. The fried okra came out perfectly crispy and seasoned, the shrimp and grits were rich and flavorful without being too heavy, and the mushroom tacos were a standout—something you don’t see everywhere and worth ordering. The menu feels thoughtful, with enough variety to make you want to come back and try more. On top of that, the beer selection was outstanding, which is always a win. Service was excellent too—Shelby took great care of us and made sure everything flowed smoothly without being overbearing. Between the setting, the food, and the atmosphere, River Restaurant is an easy place to recommend whether you’re coming for a casual lunch, a nice dinner, or just drinks and appetizers on the porch

Yet another example of you get what you pay for.... And in this case, it's worth every dollar. Granted, it's a lot of dollars, but the chefs are amazing, presentation is exquisite, and the flavor layers are exceptional. Definitely a great place to celebrate a special occasion like we did and it's known already for being one of the best destinations around the university for fine dining. You won't be disappointed. Just expect to be impressed and going knowing that you're going to be investing in really great flavors and pallets as well as incredible servers and a beautiful atmosphere.... Well done all around.

Wednesday $5 Happy Hour on selected drinks. Enjoyed the outside seating. Tried the following appetizers/shareable’s. Pork Skins and dip. Skins were great. Meat board perfect. Smoked Salmon patties. Heavy on the smoke but overall good. Bbq steak flatbread with pickles was more like a bbq pork but delicious. Group of four each ordered appetizer and had the special happy hour cocktails. Service was excellent.

Great restaurant overlooking the river.Shelby, who served our delicious wine and food was very hospitable. We visited during a game weekend (Wisconsin vs Alabama) so it was a very busy time. The restaurant worked as a team. What I mean by this is that people from the kitchen and bar dropped off food or drinks. It was great to see the teamwork and camaraderie. 🫶

A must try! This is one of our favorite restaurants in Tuscaloosa. My husband is very critical of restaurant steaks, he has consistently said that this is one of the beat steaks he has ever eaten out. Their specials are always amazing. This past visit we had the mussels (because you cant go and not get them), oysters Rockefeller the , halibut special, the wagyu filet with garlic mash potatoes and local vegetables, The ribeye with garlic mashed potatoes and local vegetables. The oatmeal cookie is amazing and will bring you back yo your childhood! The service has always been exceptional and that remains true.

This was the second time coming here…amazing food and our waiter did an outstanding job, attentive, patient and gave us space for our date. We ordered the seasonal fish and brown butter duck pasta for our entrees and took home the peanut butter pie. All was amazing!

Thank you James for working my table. Your recommendation for appetizer and entrée were delicious choices. You made a birthday dinner welcoming, fun, and overall delightful. My guest and I appreciated you matching our energy and keeping up with my birthday shenanigans. Again, thank you James for a great evening. Thank you Ms. Lauren for the party accommodation. We truly loved everything tonight.

Kind airport. Efficient. Rental car return easy. Plenty of cozy spots to sit, recline other than your boarding area. Good restaurants. Chill vibe. Loved it. Also not very busy on Sunday between 2pm to 4pm.

We don't usually fly Southwest but took a last Minute Trip to Chicago. Our flight was at 5am so there weren't many people there. Going thru TSA was quick and they were all really nice. I'm disabled - have all kinds of hardware in my back and rebuild shoulder and 2 spinal cord stimulators. Getting thru can be a challenge at some airports but this was a breeze! At the gate- there was a lil play area for kids. Maybe not in the best location (could have been more to the middle between both sides of Gates as it was at the end of the concourse) Staff were all very professional and friendly.

You can get in and out of here so quick it is probably one of my favorite airports. It’s a very small but has everything it needs.

I am at this airport 3 to 5 times a week. The parking authority is just embarrassing. I have multiple times been skipped by the shuttle. They’ll just look you dead in the face while they slowly drive by. I’m currently walking in the rain to get back to my truck and that shuttle drove right past me, maybe 20 minutes ago!

Very friendly and professional staff. Lots of good restaurants and many bathrooms. Everything was clean and people flowed like a nice river. Not the biggest airport, but very well run with all the amenities that you could want. We even had a guy on a Segway appear out of nowhere just to make sure we were heading in the right direction. The WW2 Redtail display was a bonus and simply delightful. 6 stars if I could.

Clean airport, not too crowd. Clean restroom, too. One thing to improve: I couldn't find any baggage carts at or near the check-in counter or at the entries. I asked one staff member, and she said they were on the ground floor. Their should be someone taking care of this. Otherwise, our customers don't have a chance to use them.

I recently flew through Birmingham–Shuttlesworth International Airport (BHM) in Birmingham, Alabama and overall had a solid experience that I’d recommend to others. What stood out: The airport is conveniently located just a short drive from downtown Birmingham, with straightforward road access and decent parking options. According to a parking guide, the terminal parking deck and economy lots offer clear pricing and useful shuttle services. The terminal itself is surprisingly easy to navigate. With one main terminal building and multiple concourses, it felt much more manageable than larger airports. Security and check‑in moved relatively quickly. While I visited during a moderate traffic time, I didn’t experience the kind of long backups you hear about at very large hubs. Some Reddit users also mention that getting through BHM is generally faster than many bigger airports. There are newer dining options and updated amenities. The airport recently expanded its food & beverage offerings, which means you’ll have a better chance of a good pre‑flight meal or snack. What could be improved: While the terminal is easy to handle, the selection of stores and lounges is more limited compared to major international airports. If you expect a wide variety of premium shops or luxury services, you might feel a bit under‑served. Parking, while generally good, still requires some attention: make sure to check the lot you choose, as economy vs terminal deck rates differ and shuttle times may add to your schedule. Ride‑share and pick‑up areas can get a bit congested during peak arrival times based on community feedback. Having a buffer time for drop‑off and pick‑up is wise. Reddit Final thoughts: For travelers flying in or out of the Birmingham area, BHM is a very practical choice — modest in size, but efficient and well‑organized. I’d give it a 4 out of 5 stars, and I’d certainly use it again. Arrive with a bit of time, take advantage of the ease of navigation, and you’ll likely have a smoother travel experience here than at many larger hubs.
