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.

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.

The filet mignon was tender and rich, with sides that felt both classic and elevated. Service was polished yet warm, and the elegant dining room set a refined, intimate tone for the evening.

Elegant atmosphere, superb, staff, and the food was on point! I would highly recommend the chocolate cake, the filet, crem brulee, shrimp and grits, and for the appetizer shrimp

The filet was tender and full of flavor, balanced by seasonal vegetables that felt carefully chosen. Starters carried the same refinement, and service stayed attentive without hovering. The warm, intimate setting made the evening feel special without excess.

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!

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 ❤️

As a food critic, we give Evangeline's a very well deserved 4.9/5!
Evangeline’s reputation rests on its environment, strong drink program, and. It’s a favored destination for those looking to experience Tuscaloosa’s social scene. The house crab cakes will keep you coming back over and over! To learn more about our experience check out our review on Instagram. Reviewed by: TheNoseyNeighbor.

Went here last night and server was great. Drinks and appetizers were excellent. However when we received our steaks, 3 filet mignon and 1 ribeye special. 2 were good my ribeye and one other were rare and were ordered medium. Sent one back and it came back ruined, I brought my ribeye home and it took 2 and one half minutes in microwave to make it medium. Very disappointed. This was a special occasion and I won’t be back!!! You need to teach someone how to cook! For $430 this is a joke!!!
