“ The main dishes here are fantastic, the sides always leave me a little disappointed. Atmosphere is fun and always busy. The meatloaf is delicious and if you can catch the wings on a Friday they are incredible. My favorite dish is the grilled chicken breast with the white bbq sauce and grilled veggies. ”

“ We came here during parents weekend at the university based on someone's recommendation. initially we were given a wait of 1.5 hours but we decided to stay anyway because everywhere was going to have crazy waits and we were hopeful it wasnt really that long, they were really trying to get people seated checking in to see if people minded sitting a little tighter than normal so they could be seated. Lucky for us the wait scared people off so we only waited about 40 minutes. Unfortunately I did not catch out servers name, he was a young guy and he was possibly one of the best servers I have ever had. Very attentive despite the restaurant being slammed. We had appetizers also and he told us normally he doesnt. Enter dinner orders until the appetizers are halfway gone so the tables aren't loaded with all the food at once, but he knew his kitchen was backed up so he went ahead and placed ours. He kept us updated telling us how many orders ahead of us and our food came out in perfect timing. He also kept our drinks r filled and checked in the right amount of times. Now on to the food, this place was recommended to us and I can see why, we had two appetizers and four dinners and every one of them were amazing. There were also several other items that sounded delicious and I can to wait to go back and try more. The only part of our meal that didn't get 5 stars was the pimento cheese Mac and cheese, I personally didn't try it but the person that did said it wasn't that warm and it wasn't creamy which is what she prefers, but again they were slammed so I would give the Mac and cheese a try again. Everything else was amazing, most of us came home with leftovers, chicken was delicious, still juicy, and no questionable bites. Also the bacon cheese fries are fire, get them, dip them in the ranch it is so good! ”

“ While dropping my stepson off at the U of Alabama, my wife and I were looking for a place for dinner away the crowd at the school. Thanks to Yelp, we found a great spot a few miles away, the Southern Ale House. We had about a half hour wait on a Saturday night which wasn't too bad. There was a shorter wait for outdoors, but with temps in the 90's, indoor was the way to go! There's an excellent drink list. I went with an IPA and my wife had a delicious cocktail made with pineapple infused rum. For entrees, my wife had the Shrimp Spinach Salad and I had the Corbell Biscuit. We loved them! I had a taste of the shrimp which was so good! When in the South, ordering biscuits is a must, and the one on my order didn't disappoint. We topped the dinner off with two amazing desserts...That Cheesecake and Bourbon Bread Pudding! Amazing! If you're in Tuscaloosa looking for a great meal, I definitely recommend the Southern Ale House! ”

“ Another great visit to SAH! They were, as always, attentive, responsive and hospitable ... remembering that I had asked after a past special on a previous visit, they offered to try and recreate it with what they had in stock ... that kind of personal attention and recall is rare any where these days ... one of the many reasons I will always come back ... the food and ambiance coupled with stellar service make it a must visit in Tuscaloosa. ”

“ I love this place! The food is always great, and the restaurant looks great all the time. Some days they have live music. I highly recommend it. ”

“ I have never had a bad experience here. I have also never had anything bad either. It's a cute little place with a great patio area and decent beer selection. I'm excited for the opening of their second location. ”

“ Not a bad place to visit for lunch. The staff is very friendly, prices reasonable and the food pretty good. Getting to it might be a little challenging due to traffic, however once there it's great. ”

“ Came in for lunch and the place was very busy! Our food took a long time to arrive so definitely not a quick meal. This place is a bit more casual but still nice and sitting out on the patio would be a great date night idea. Our server was very nice and offered good suggestions. I was deciding between a burger and the Meme, and she told me the Meme was amazing, so I ordered her recommendation. I believe all meals come with a choice of side and there are so many great southern options to choose from! The meme is a biscuit with fried chicken tenders, bacon, and gravy. The fried chicken was amazing! One of the best seasoned pieces of chicken I've ever had. The biscuit was pretty average and I wasn't a huge fan of the gravy but the combination of all the ingredients with the bacon was excellent. My boyfriend got the grilled chicken (comes with cheese and bacon on top) with hash brown casserole and pimento cheese as his sides. Again, the chicken is seasoned wonderfully! The hash brown casserole is pretty good and cheesy. The Mac and cheese has good flavor but isn't creamy. I'd absolutely recommend this place! You won't have to worry about bland food. Everything was very flavorful and we enjoyed our meal ”

“ One of my Tuscaloosa favorites! Nice atmosphere. Great service and the food.... Where do I start??? Biscuits are phenomenal. The Chicken Breast is delicious. Their broccoli is the bomb. Not sure what they do to it... but if you are a broccoli lover- get it here. My husband loves their fancy burgers & the wide selection at the bar. We also enjoy their unique appetizers. Nice date spot with indoor or outdoor seating. The owners love what they do and it shows. ”
