FUKU RAMEN

Fuku is beyond one of the best places to eat in Tuscaloosa! The Ramen explodes with flavor, no matter which one you get. The Katsu Curry Don is my favorite though. The flavor warms you inside and out! It is a comfort food. Try one of the milk teas!

Session Cocktails

Pretty good spot to grab a few cocktails! I went today for the first time, they had a good selection of drinks and several options for happy hour. 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!

Beautiful restaurant, very nice atmosphere. Exceptional service. The food was good. We had the sampler platter of baked oysters, they were all great! I had the half shell salad with grilled shrimp & he had the royal red boiled shrimp. It was all good. Not much spice to any of it but a good meal nonetheless. I would recommend dining here.

This excellent restaurant is located inside an Asian grocery. Nothing fancy here other than the outstanding food. Lots of variety, quickly cooked and served, and utterly delicious. I had sesame chicken that was lightly fried and the chicken moist and juicy. The sauce was a bit sweet but certainly flavorful. Looking forward to more dishes over time.

Taco Mama - Tuscaloosa

Loved my first visit to Taco Mama! My sophomore son took my wife and two daughters there with home for dinner just before 6 on a Saturday. Line was not outside yet, but does move quickly, fun vibe and atmosphere while waiting. Once we ordered, we grabbed out Mi Casa Margaritas at the bar and our red wooden triangle block number 31 and headed to an outside table. Food came for all 6 of us within 5 to 10 min and everything was done correctly. Great food and quantity for the price! I got the Classic Tacos and a side of Street Corn, street corn was some of the best I have had. Would go back just for that.

Our favorite restaurant when we visit Tuscaloosa! The pizza is a sooo good and the salads are huge! We had a chicken bacon ranch pizza and a garden salad. The pizza has an awesome airy crust and not too much sauce. The garden salad is full of strawberries and candied pecans. We'll definitely dine here next time we're in town.Parking: The parking garage around the corner (which I think is part of the same building structure) is free, well-lit, and very convenient.

The chef uses spices to give that flavorful taste. The service is always attentive. The price is affordable for the high quality food. Let's support this local chinese restaurant.

Been coming here since I was in middle school, maybe high school, and I love it. For the longest I did not know the manager's name, and she has been always so nice and welcoming since we met. She knows my mom loves the Kung Pao Chicken. Today we finally got one another's name and it made my day:) Faye is truly so kindhearted and makes sure everything tastes good, and it does. The restaurant is kept clean, bathroom is clean, employees are nice. I usually get the mandarin vegetables deluxe or the vegetable lo mein, with vegetable fried rice.

I love Glory Bound like I love my first unborn son. Glory Bound is the only place that I can trust to stay consistent in its prices of $6 a domestic pitcher. It has defeated Covid and Biden’s economic recession alike. I would run through machine gun fire to preserve what this place means to me. Not only is the beer cheap, the pizza is second to none. I am hesitant to leave Tuscaloosa when I graduate as it means I will leave my beloved Glory Bound.

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.

If 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.
