Heritage House Coffee Riverfront
2370 Jack Warner Pkwy, TuscaloosaI Googled “best coffee in Tuscaloosa” and this came up! Game on! Being the coffee snob I am, challenge accepted! Maps brought me to the address but it wasn’t apparent that I was here. The gold letters on the glass door made it hard to distinguish. Once I figure it out, I’m happy I did! Great atmosphere with a laid back vibe. Ordered a medium latte and cranberry orange scone for a little over $6, I believe. I asked for ristretto shots to see what they knew. Cashier didn’t but barista said she knew but couldn’t do it (pre-programmed shots, I’m sure!) I had fun explaining to cashier. Foam was extra silky smooth but disappointed it was in a to-go cup when I was sitting in. It looked wonderful! All in all, nit picking but seems like a GREAT place. Thanks for serving!

Babe's Doughnut
500 Greensboro Ave, TuscaloosaOh, mama…this is some of the best food in Tuscaloosa. I religiously eat their honey butter chicken on a croissant. Sometimes I also grab little mustard packets for an extra pizzazz. You’re welcome in advance…All of the doughnuts are AWESOME!!! Seriously the best in town. Tender (soft? what’s the right word for baked goods…), tasty but not overly sweet, and their flavor profile is definitely specific to the specialty (ie a peanut butter chocolate doesn’t just taste meh with some toppings, it’s all throughout).It’s a morning addiction for myself and my friends.

The aperol spritz was not on the drinks menu but still they made one for me which I appreciated. The place is nice, there’s and indoor area and an outdoor “closed terrace” sort of entry area. We stayed in that outside area to avoid the noise and buzz inside. Overall it was a really pleasant experience! I also appreciate that bathrooms are gender neutral, and they had complimentary mints there and tampons for those who might need them! Nice gesture for clients. The waiters were also really nice. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I found the place clean, staff friendly, food hot and exactly what I hoped for. I would recommend this place to anyone who was looking for a Chinese Buffet.

I'm so grateful to Mrs. Isabella Robert for turning my financial story around, and the only way I can repay her is to recommend her and spread her good works. If you want to make good profits from Stock trading, Forex/Crypto trading as well as Binary options, Mrs..

foosackly's - Tuscaloosa
405 15th St E, TuscaloosaFirstly I want to emphasize how extremely kind the employees and staff were. They are truly holding this business on their backs and caring for it like it is their own. I felt so good and welcomed that I never wanted to leave. They deserve all the raises. I was there 08/18/22 before closing time. The food was so good too. Extremely high quality. Did not hurt my stomach or make me feel weird with portion sizes like other places. Genuinely high quality and generous. The prices are amazing too.

Baumhower’s Victory Grille - Tuscaloosa South

Jim 'N Nick's
305 21st Ave, TuscaloosaThis is my favorite place to eat BBQ in Tuscaloosa. The rolls they provide free of charge are incredible. Every item i’ve ordered here has been very good, besides the catfish sandwich. My go-to is usually a pork or turkey sandwich with sides. Dessert is great also! Usually there is no wait and the environment is enjoyable.Parking: Parking is odd because it’s behind an apartment or beside other stores for the most part. Only a few spots are beside the restaurant.

There was a small mistake on a previous order and I called in and spoke to Jeff, he told me the next time I came in he would take care of it. Couple weeks went by and we stopped in tonight and he remembered. He apologized about it, fixed the mistake and made sure we were good.

Red Bowl Asian bistro
311 Merchants Walk, TuscaloosaGreat vibe. Other customers seemed happy.The servers were working incredibly hard with a helpful, sincere, and friendly attitude.I waited a pretty long time for my to-go order while other to-go orders went out. But I make mistakes on my job too. Sometimes things get missed for all of us.Great place.However, I won't be ordering Chinese again. General Tso's and sesame chicken were clearly frozen chicken with grocery store sauce poured over. It isn't unreasonable to expect them to actually make the dishes since I went to a restaurant. Professional cooks served me reheated, commercially prepared food. And the dishes weren't even as good as airport food.Still, I highly recommend this place, if you want delicious Mexican food.

The only drawback is they have limited hours and they are closed all day Monday and Saturday.

2370 Jack Warner Pkwy, TuscaloosaI Googled “best coffee in Tuscaloosa” and this came up! Game on! Being the coffee snob I am, challenge accepted! Maps brought me to the address but it wasn’t apparent that I was here. The gold letters on the glass door made it hard to distinguish. Once I figure it out, I’m happy I did! Great atmosphere with a laid back vibe. Ordered a medium latte and cranberry orange scone for a little over $6, I believe. I asked for ristretto shots to see what they knew. Cashier didn’t but barista said she knew but couldn’t do it (pre-programmed shots, I’m sure!) I had fun explaining to cashier. Foam was extra silky smooth but disappointed it was in a to-go cup when I was sitting in. It looked wonderful! All in all, nit picking but seems like a GREAT place. Thanks for serving!

Sitar of India (Sitar Indian Cuisine)
220 15th St E, TuscaloosaWe are from Texas. We were on our journey back from Georgia, on our way back home, when we stumbled upon this restaurant late at night. Even though it was close to closing, the service was great and the food was equally amazing. We will surely drop by if we travel that route again. God Bless!

Moe's Original BBQ - Tuscaloosa
2101 University Blvd, TuscaloosaGood food. Fun atmosphere. The cooks hair worried me a little because it was long and hanging down and their beards were hanging over the food but they were happy and having a good time! But a good experience overall.

Mediterranean Sandwich Co. Tuscaloosa
1130 University Blvd A-1, TuscaloosaI absolutely love the redneck gyro as I’m a sucker for Conecuh sausage. Made fresh and their fries are great. I also love their orzo as a side but it’s but heave for me when it’s 98 degrees outside. The hummus is solid. Not the best I’ve ever had but a good app I never regret ordering. Counter service restaurant. Was a bit difficult to find a clean open table. Otherwise great experience.

Dreamland BBQ
5535 15th Ave E, TuscaloosaIf you are Looking for that backyard barbecue field with that old-fashioned Hickory pet flavor came to the right place. This will be the second smokehouse we tried in Alabama and the only one worth mentioning. That's it. Remember this business has been in it's place for 75 years is providing a great atmosphere amazing Hickory smoked food. The only reason it gets 4 stars is because I cant do a 4.5 stars. Slight deduction for restraunt condition it is an old building that could use a few updates.When you find finding down the back road and pull up you will know the place cause of the hickory smell coming out of it. Worth the adventure and with there very well made limited menu I knew it was bound to be a dream come true.We had the large legendary pulled pork sandwich which was absolutely full of the richest Hickory smoked flavor and there famous vinegar based sauce! We also got the potato salad which was everything it was claimed to be and just like grandma used to make. We also had the smoked sausage and there Mac and Cheese which was rich and creamy and amazing. All in all I'd absolutely return and would have to hands down try there ribs. Which if I'm being honest is what everyone else was eating!Kid-friendliness: There were families with children here. They were playing football as is classic with there history and background!Parking: Easy to find and plenty of space. They are also handicapped accessible.
