“Delicious food, great service, and an inviting atmosphere! If you loved Cypress Inn, you will be delighted to find a few favs on this menu as well. Very friendly staff (shoutout to Jess!), and enjoyed talking with the owner and hearing his story from Cypress Inn to 20/59. Don’t wait—check it out!“

“Best burger joint you could ever want! Keeping it simple! They don't try to oversell or over hype what they do and what they do, they do flawlessly! It's a top recommendation by students and parents at Bama for a reason and we love every damn bite!!! Music was phenomenal and I was trying to Shazam in between devouring insanely tasty fries! The burgers are the best I've ever had and the flavor choices with their freaking ridiculous and addicting sauce......... What?! Absolutely amazing!!!!“

“Great environment and awesome selection of beers.“

“A must stop for Tuscaloosa and Birmingham, the boiled peanuts are the bomb, Collard Green flavor was phenomenal, Cajun flavor, and Dale’s seasoned are also good. Amazing drink selection, hundreds on chill. A must if you come through Alabama. 🥜“

“We were at the game this past weekend and we had the BEST experience at Jackie’s. We parked a little far away for my elderly father to be able to walk all the way and stopped to get some drinks and find a taxi or shuttle service. Everyone was so nice to us and helped us find a ride the rest of the way to the stadium. They were so helpful and kind and you can tell they truly love what they’re doing and love to see folks walking by. They’re a joy to be around and we’ll definitely plan to stop in the next time we’re in town! Thank you! 🖤❤️🤍“

“Not a coffe drinker but wanted something to warm me up on a cold afternoon. Was driving near campus and saw Scooters so decided to try it. Really, really good hot chocolate. Really easy to tell you to try it. Friendly team, quick service, reasonable price and a great, warm drink.“

“Best place to go for down to earth people, cold cheap drinks and karaoke/music/pool/football and more!“

“Fantastic evening in Hopper's after the Texas/Bama game. Desiree and Joe took great care of us. And apologies to you two....I forgot to close my tab out. I hope that you guys tipped yourself well...you deserved it!!!!! 🤣Until next time!!!“

“Hands down my favorite bar on the strip. The bartenders and security are dedicated to making you’re experience a great one. They provide great service and have such a welcoming environment. They have such reasonable prices and happy hour is half off everything! Most importantly, the drinks tasted great and the bartenders were incredible. I highly recommend this place.“

“Nicely made food. Chicken tetrazzini is the only thing I order from here but it makes me willing to try others. Every worker is nice over the phone and in-person despite how young they are. My only complaint is that their hours on google are misleading. Originally thought they were always closed on weekends but found out they are only closed fully on Sundays. On Saturdays, they are open from 10-2. Hope they fix the problem in the future.“

“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.“

“My FAVVVV go-to BAR in Tuscaloosa on Game Day!! Thank God we got there before they started charging cover because it was $40 per person when playing Texas ? Which is absolutely absurd. We couldn't even go upstairs for free after eating downstairs and getting there early.. But whatever. Still my favorite bar. They have the best fries and can't go wrong with traditional chicken fingers! Will always visit when in T-Town! And we also had the cutest bartender, Sarah? I think lol ?“

“Great atmosphere, fit for a girls night out or a romantic date. Beautiful decor!“

“This is a beautiful restaurant with really great service. It's a Mexican and Asian restaurant. You can order off of two different menus. The food was really good! I had the steak fajita quesadilla with rice and beans. They also have a variety of agua frescas. I HIGHLY recommend the passion fruit agua fresca it was amazing! So refreshing! They also make some delicious margaritas?“
