Famous local meat & three restaurant. Very affordable. Don’t let a long line deter you. It moves fast. You’ll be seated in no time & served even faster! This is a legendary local cafe. Open M-F.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Tuscaloosa. Great food & drinks! Can’t go wrong here. The fish & chips and Thai nachos are both excellent. They do have a Sunday brunch. Be aware, it’s a busy area of town. You may have to park a few blocks away during busy times.

Specialty grocery/butcher shop

Mark’s Mark specializes in meats and AL-based grocery items. Great little gem! Their specialty is the chicken swirl, but I really think the salmon swirl rules! Bonus - This is an easy 1 block walk from the house!

Art studio & courtyard

A short walk (2 blocks) from the house. They display & sell local artists work. Super cute courtyard area, where they host events relatively often. Definitely worth a look if you have time.

Local brewpub in downtown Tuscaloosa. They supply Bryant-Denny with their local beer, so you know it’s got to be good! Small outside seating area. They do not serve food, but they will assist you in ordering from places within walking distance to pick up & bring in to eat. Pretty good local brews.

This bar caters to more of a non-university crowd. Let’s say, a more mature crowd. 😉 Kind if a small, hole-in-the-wall kind of place with pinball machines.
