“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 ?“

“I never write reviews, but the service and server was horrible. To forgetting things we asked for when taking our orders, to getting rude when asking for the things we asked for when we ordered our food. Brought our checks out , and then said she had to add gratuity, even tho one of my friends had already paid her ticket. She voided it out, and gave her the new ticket. Charged me gratuity on the 2 To-Go orders I had on my ticket. Thank goodness the manger split the Check up. The server was literally talking over my friend that was with us that was explaining the problems we were experiencing, and the manager finally told her to leave the conversation. We love the Gardendale location, we always go there with my daughter's whole ball team, and never once were we charged gratuity, and the service and food have always been excellent. The manager said, it was from corporate is the reason for mandatory gratuity for people 6 and over. Totally not true!!! Would NOT recommend the Tuscaloosa Mugshots!!!“

“I stopped in the store about a week ago and that was a server by the name of tiffany L very rude very disrespectful and it made me not want to stop at that location again. I won’t knock the location because it’s a great location. Everyone else was nice but she was very rude and disrespectful Tiffany L.“

“Stands behind throwing someone out because the bouncer is homophobic“

“I am a continuous customer and every time I come my needs are easily taken care of admit to the finest expectation OK, look if you put all the stuff in the bag is here you just like me by the front cashier and my food is always cooked fresh and hot, and I can tell by my experience every time I come here the kitchen man takes very well pride in his job I have seen him working here a minute and every time I come in here he expects nothing less than the best. The atmosphere it could use a more creativity look to it. It is more bland and basic but other than that, the food is great. The people are great. Your service has meet perfect expectation.“

“The place I eat at the most on campus. Breakfast menu is satisfactory. Lunch is always the best time to go, I recommend Burrito Bowl Tuesdays and Steak Fridays. Just make sure to avoid the noon crowd. Recently started a dinner menu with rotating options from across various cultures.“

“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.“

“Great food! Great service. Good music.“

“I come here almost everyday to eat breakfast and chill by myself. The tons of tables and chairs, serving areas, and nice bathrooms are always clean. The staff and servers are always polite and nice. The only complaint I could make is that I wish there was more of a variety for breakfast, like more different kinds of fruit like strawberries or kiwi, and more variety of breakfast food like croissant sandwiches and hashbrowns. Other than that, this place is a 10/10 for me and I think it's better than Fresh Food Company!“

“James and Corey or (Korey) were the working at the time that I went. I went around 5ish today. They made sure we had everything my daughter and I asked for. They both were very friendly. I really liked the fact that the bathrooms were really clean especially with having a child.“

“My first Waffle House experience and it was fantastic! For starters, not only was the staff very friendly for an early Saturday morning, but they were all very polite as well. We sat down and ordered quickly, and our server was on top of everything. Our food came out fairly quickly and everything tasted great. I also paid attention to how friendly the staff was with the cool while they submitted orders and waited for their orders to go out. There was no shouting, they were polite, they weren't in each other's way and they were working quickly and efficiently. The cashier was sweet and friendly, and everyone thanked us as we left. I'm sure this restaurant gets very busy during the year, as they are on The Strip in Tuscaloosa, but I'm sure they're just as quick, efficient and awesome then as they were on an early Saturday morning. I will definitely eat here again next time I'm in Tuscaloosa, and hopefully all other Waffle Houses deliver the same experience as this one did. Thank you to everyone for such a great experience! ?“

“Super clean, fast service and friendly staff. Thank you for a great lunch.“
