Traveling through Tuscaloosa and stopped here to eat. Owner stopped to talk with us - very friendly. Staff was great. Food was outstanding. We had shrimp wrapped in bacon appetizer and wings. Both amazing dishes. Also bought an order of bran muffins. They are amazing. If you have not tried this restaurant what are you waiting for? Please support this local establishment! read more

Our first time attending on a busy Friday night. We were seated quickly and drinks served fast. Our waitress mentioned the kitchen being behind- an hour later we received our dishes (Smoked Chicken and Fried Catfish dinner). They were super apologetic, but we were not expecting the super long wait. The food was tasty and filling. read more

Wanting to try something different in the area, we decided on 20/59 Restaurant & Bar. It is in a familiar space off the interstate, so no problems finding the location. We were seated by the owner since we bumped into him while entering the restaurant. Our server explained it was the owner's birthday and we would be receiving complimentary bran muffins (those were delicious)!!! My mom ordered the grilled shrimp, cheese grits and braised cabbage. She would try another side in place of the grits next time but overall she enjoyed her meal. I ordered the catfish dinner (requested fried hard/crispy) loaded baked potato (prefer to be a little hotter) and green beans. Check them out if in the area. read more

Went to this place on a Wednesday evening around 6. There weren't many people inside and the atmosphere is still the same if you remember the old Ruby Tuesday that was once there. It seemed as if they only had one server working at the time but she was nice and patient. I ordered a margarita which took a good minute to arrive but it was good. I will say the service was kind of slow but I can't complain since there was only one server (from what I could see). The food was very flavorful and hot when it arrived to the table. I was surprised at how big the shrimp were but the wings were somewhat small. Overall this was an okay experience, it would be a great place for early-day dining instead of dinner. read more

Ordered the chicken strips with fries, hush puppies and peach cobbler to go. First the good, juicy chicken with a nice little spice kick. The hush puppies tasted as expected, a southern staple. Servers friendly and was greeted with a smile. Now the not so good. Chef....WTF???? Those fry's were like limp noodles, they were so underdone we couldn't even eat them. You should have done a better job, on quality and those should have never made it into my Togo container. Loss of one star for the fry fail. read more

We ate our first supper at 20/59 tonight and our meals were very delicious. Everything was timely delivered to our booth which is actually kind of quiet and private due to the high partitions. The owner/chef made rounds thru the dining room so meeting him was nice. A bus load of Capstone Village folks were having a good time too. We will return, soon. read more

Don't let the outside of this place fool you. This former Ruby Tuesday is an excellent new restaurant! On our first night in Tuscaloosa, we were looking for a good meal away from the crowds by the school. This restaurant in Cottondale was a short drive with quality food. I started off with the 20/59 cocktail and while I don't recall all the ingredients, I will say it was it was a great drink in this hot weather. We ordered appetizers of Fried Pickles and the Hot Spinach Dip. The pickles were made better than I've had anywhere else. The chips that came with the dip were also very tasty. The appetizers were so filling, I had a Caesar salad for my meal...also delicious with a side of Mac n cheese! My one regret is that I didn't have room for Ms. Cynthia's Peach Cobbler. I'll be back though, and I'll get it next time. Special shout out to our server, Dale. He couldn't have been more helpful and friendly! read more

We were staying at the Hampton Inn and were told the catfish was delicious at 20/59 Restaurant & Bar. We had grilled catfish and sides. Everything was great! We topped off our meal with the heavenly peach cobbler. Service is fantastic. Clients are checked with frequently. Ask for Ashley as your server. She is very attentive and makes sure to follow-up with special requests. read more

We went today (Sat. 5/3) They opened at 4pm and there was a line starting well before then. If that's the situation when you go don't let that deter you. It's worth the wait! Our party of 6 was seated fairly quickly. The food was really good. The spinach dip and the shrimp appetizer were my favorite items. When the food came the table got so quiet! lol!! I had the Caesar add salmon - cooked to perfection. Our server, Tay, was wonderful. He was BUSY working 3 larger parties but he was attentive and polite - worked very well under pressure. The only 'meh' thing I noticed was that there was a party celebrating a birthday. There wasn't seating availability for them all to sit together. I don't know if they take reservations, so that's something to consider for an occasion like that. read more

I read the reviews and we decided to try this restaurant based on those reviews and this place did not disappoint. We got there early and had happy hour drinks that were fabulous! We also ordered the spinach dip which was great however could have been a little warmer. My friend had the pork tenderloin with squash and asparagus. I had smoked chicken with asparagus and baked potatoes. Both meals were amazing!! And our server was absolutely wonderful and sadly I can't remember her name however I can say Roll Tide! We will be back next time we come this way. HIGHLY recommend! read more

So glad we can still get the food from Cypress In . Amazing smoked chicken with white barbecue sauce.

Had the pork tenderloin, baked potato and asparagus. It was amazing. Will be back on my next trip into the area. Highly recommend

We spent 15 minutes waiting for someone to come take our drink order. Not one single person came to our table. HOWEVER, the young lady that came in 10 minutes AFTER we did got her drink order taken and delivered to her table AND her order taken. The owner walked past our table 3 times. It wasn't until we got up to leave that we were even acknowledged with a half-a$$ed "No one has come to your table?" Nope! He was the only one waiting tables so I'd guess not since he didn't want to even bring us waters. He also half heartedly said "oh man, I'm sorry." He saw our menus sitting on the edge of the table showing we were ready to order and still didn't acknowledge us. One of his employees was walking around cleaning already clean tables. Another one walked outside twice. They were not busy. Maybe 4 tables had couples at each one. Can't review the food because we never even got that far and won't ever have the possibility to do so because we won't be back. read more

Excellent food (we had catfish and fried pickles), excellent service, restaurant is super nice, clean. We will visit again!

The service was awful. I initially did not order a drink so when the waitress came back to take orders she did not take mine. Also the side items do not match with the entree's. This was after i had visited a year later hoping that it had gotten better. 10/10 do not recommend need more food choses read more

We had heard friends talk good about this place so we decided to try for an early dinner. The waitress was friendly and attentive but the food just so so. Husband got chicken he barely ate. read more

We had great food and friendly service. Our waitress, Adsia, was amazing and made us feel at home. Don't let the decor fool you. It was an old Ruby Tuesday and now a little updated. All four of us were delighted. There seemed to be a fair amount of local people which is a good sign. We were traveling and staying at the hotel next door. read more

Went for an early dinner and already several dinners were ahead of us! We had blackened catfish that was delicious and the steak burger loved the onions and peppers that came with the burger and the rest of the sides - fries, Cole slaw and cheese grits. Our server was very helpful and patient with our decision making read more

The ambiance at 20/59 when you go in is very nice. It used to be a Ruby Tues but you can't tell. It looks much better inside now than when it was RT. Ample parking, for sure, around all sides of the building. It's at a very convenient location right off of the highway, Exit 77. Inside gives an "open" and bright feeling. The menu is the best thing ever. Why, you may ask? Well, because it is not the length of an encyclopedia. It's very streamlined. There is just the right amount of menu items, in my humble opinion, to make ordering east and quick. Of course everything SOUNDS great, so that may slow you down, trying to decide which tasty entrée to pick. I was there with 3 other people and everyone's food looked so amazing. I had the Bacon Wrap Boom Boom Shrimp and it was divine. Everyone else I was with loved their foods too. One thing that made a huge difference was that the owner was present, bussing a table or two, helping out. And he came by to visit and check on use. That was awesome. It's a great local restaurant with excellent food. If you're in town or passing through, it's a MUST TRY! read more

Another excellent meal from 20/59. We went late, were seated immediately and everything was done in a timely manor. We will definitely be back! read more

I didn't even wanna tell her it was mine I wanted her to stand there and look crazy . Not only did the food take forever to get to my table , you stood there not knowing which table to go to ?? And not just that THE APPETIZERS IS WHAT TOOK THE LONGEST !! AND OUR FOOD WAS COLD !! IF YOU WERE GOING TO TAKE FOREVER TO GET US OUR FOOD AT LEAST LET IT BE HOT . THEY DONT EVEN DESERVE ANYMORE WORDS OUT OF ME .!! DONT GO HERE‼ read more
