Avenue Pub - Steak sandwich way too Salty!!! - Salad Near Me - Tuscaloosa, Alabama

Avenue Pub - Tuscaloosa had been bookmarked for awhile. I'm happy to report - I recently visited the and it was great! I arrived late afternoon and it wasn't busy. The hostess gentleman was prompt and welcoming as soon as I entered. I sat at the bar since I was dining alone. This place is HUGE and has two levels! Definitely a popular choice in downtown Tuscaloosa, Al. I knew I had to try their burger and it was on happy hour lunch special for $5 and came with fries. The happy hour burger is smaller and it's amazing! The fries were not really hot enough but were good. You can't beat this special! Highly recommend. They also have other lunch meals and drink specials. Great food, great service. Two hour free parking available in downtown Tuscaloosa, Al. The location is great and close to many other walkable places to visit. read more

While we were making the move from Texas to North Carolina we stopped in Tuscaloosa for the night. I wanted to try a restaurant downtown since it was our first time in this town and the Avenue pub came highly rated. Parking is manageable, but you'll need to find parking either in front or to the side of the restaurant. When you walk in it has the feel of a polished, upscale pub. We were seated and immediately ordered the bacon burger (which comes with a 1/2 a pound of ground beef with provolone and bacon). I also would recommend adding grilled onions to the burger and upgrading the fries to pub fries (seasoned fries topped with shaven Parmesan, mozzarella, and chopped bacon). The peppercorn ranch that is especially good and tied everything together. If you are looking for a craft burger spot in the heart of Tuscaloosa, I can't say enough good things about this place and it's absolutely worth checking out. read more

Me and wife came here for lunch after seeing reviews. I'll start with staff. They were very friendly and we were seated right away. For food I ordered the chicken club and wife got the fish and chips. The club was good not amazing. Both the sandwich and fries were a little too salt heavy. The fish and chips were ok. Not the best but not bad. Again fries little to salt heavy. I'd go back if someone really wanted to eat there but wouldn't choose this place. read more

Stopped in on a Saturday for an early lunch and we were able to get a table right away. I ordered 2 draft beers from the menu - but none were available, even after I was directed to a menu next to the bar instead of the printed one brought to the table when we were seated. So I settled for a blue moon bottle. I ordered the crispy shrimp tacos - same thing, they were out of shrimp. I settled for the steak sandwich. It was fine but not what I wanted - spicy with the jalapeños but the bread was soft (as it should be). Ordered 3 separate items that weren't available on a Saturday. Bummer. read more

I've been here enough now to know I do not want to come back to eat unless some changes happen. The beers and drinks are fine, so if that is what you are here for, great. You should be just groovy! Drink up!! I will come back to drink and eat Pub Fries. These are solid. The other food situation however is way off in my opinion. My last visit had a direct view of the expo station. The sauce bottles are stored on the counter with no refrigeration whatsoever. No hair restraints on anyone. It's also really gross back there. Ewww. This place needs better management to be any good! We didn't get silverware, plates, or napkins before the food arrived. Bar drinks took 10-12 minutes. Place is just poorly run. It was not even half full yet tables remained unbussed, and dirty floors remained. This is in spite of me being able to see 8-10 employees screwing around in the kitchen. The staff looks like a bunch of bum kids with clothes they have been wearing for the last four days. Greasy hair, dirty fingernails, and other unkept hygienic practice are abound. Most of the staff just looks nasty, for lack of a better word. Food we had is also a miss for me. I didn't care for any of it really. Maybe we got the wrong things. I thought I would be safe with beer battered fried chicken, but boy was I wrong! It tasted like old funnel cake batter. Very sweet, and the chicken inside was dry as a bone. Bottled sauces that come with everything sucked too. In some cases it's actually in the retail bottles still. The Conecuh sausage on the fried green tomatoes should in now way be in bold and lead the name of the menu item. John Currance has an item on his menu that has "ham dust" on it, the sausage was slightly larger than his "dust". This should be described as "sprinkled with sausage bits", not as it reads as the lead ingredient. Totally deceptive. I would have never ordered it had I known. Charge more and give more sausage or cut it to three tomatoes, idk, something. Kiddos boyfriend ordered a "meat and cheese only" burger and Flash Gordon brought out a burger with nothing at all in it, then said, "I thought you said only meat and cheese". It had neither. I did enjoy a nice meal at Waffle House later... Two stars for beers and fries! '25 - 90/111 read more

A Tuscaloosa staple! Avenue Pub is a local favorite with the best happy hour you'll find anywhere in town! We've been frequent guests since it began and always have a great experience. Overall, all dishes have been good, but the burgers (ask for the special burger menu), chicken club, jalapeño cheese dip, and thai nachos have been a fan-favorite from the beginning and sure to please everyone! read more

Avenue Pub - Pork ribeye sandwich - Salad Near Me - Tuscaloosa, Alabama

Outstanding! First visit. The pork ribeye sandwich was fantastic. Honestly, the best thing I have had the pleasure of eating in some time. Perfection My friend had the fries chicken club. Soooo good! Waitstaff was great as well. Will be back on any visit to The University of Alabama read more

I had lunch there today, along with family (4 adults and 2 teenagers). We waited (arrived 11:00am about) and waited 45 minutes for a table which was to be expected. It was at least another 45 minutes plus before we got our meal. Our food was cold!! Not even warm, one hot traditional breakfast and eggs/grits all cold. My husbsnds's gravy biscuit, cold! Plus one ordered burger medium well and it was raw!! I would not have eaten. When server came by to ensure food came out, we had just gotten. We were hungry so we ate it or some didn't cause we didn't have time to send back. I was shocked at quantity versus price, adding protein to bowl another add on. We then waited at least 25 minutes before server came back and we could ask for check. My son was about to just leave as we saw no one. Sat upstairs. Very very disappointed! read more

The server Ava I think was really sweet and on it! But we sat very close to the kitchen and there was an odd odor we ordered Fish and chips the fries were soggy. Also got a burger and mac n cheese (no stars). The burger was super greasy and the mac n cheese was dry. read more

Now, I walked in at 3:30pm on a Monday, so it wasn't too busy, but it looked like it was setup to handle quite a crowd. Big beautiful deep bar both downstairs and upstairs. I sat down and was immediately greeted by a friendly bartender named Rachel. She gave me 3 recommendations and I chose the American double. It came out in under 10 minutes. Two good sized patties that were well seasoned with fresh spring lettuce and what looked like homemade pickles and a good portion of American cheese. The burger had a good char on it and the cheese flavor came through on the perfectly toasted buttered bun. Absolutely, no complaints and all on all a great experience. One of the better burgers I've had in a while. read more

Went here with my brother when we were in town visiting family. I opted for a bacon burger, and my brother got the fish n chips. We both enjoyed our meals, and the sides were plentiful. Service was a bit slow though. I'd go back if I was in DT Tuscaloosa. read more

Cesear salad, parmigiana chicken and fish and chips were excellent. Loved the atmosphere.

Good Times at the Avenue Pub!! I was in the Tuscaloosa area for business and wanted to try The Avenue Pub after hearing so many great things about it. I wasn't in the mood for a massive meal after travelling all day, so I decided to skip the app and head straight to the main course. Once my bartender/server, Maggie walked me through the menu and the drink list I decided on the Pork Rib Eye, marinated and seared with a Conecuh cream sauce. If you don't know, Conecah sausage is an Alabama staple, and the cream sauce has chopped Concah sausage. The Ribeye was soft tender, and very flavourful, the portion size as with most pork Ribeyes was about 7 ounces. Combined with the vegetables and rice, it made a good-sized meal. I washed it down with a Black Warrior Broad Street Brown Ale, a good match for this dish. The service was great, and the vibe and the place made it a great spot for drinks and food. read more

I was so excited to try this place. Walked by the first night, quiet inside but patrons nonetheless. As we walked by there were two kids along the side area doors that were playing games running in and out of the restaurant opening and closing the outside doors. And mom and dad and friends were inside and the kids kept running around inside and then outside inside and then outside. It was very cold outside that night so I can imagine that people inside the restaurant we're probably pissed off. That didn't determine me from going in the next day. Side of the bar had happy hour. Happy hour drinks for mediocre. Happy hour specials were the same. This place really likes french fries. So we had some french fry nachos. We also eat ordered at the happy hour burger, but the idiot didn't tell us that the burger comes with french fries so we had about 5 pounds of french fries between the two meals that we had. Wasn't worth the money for fries!! It was a little overkill. Bartender was, once again mediocre. When I asked a question about why the TV has to be on sports he didn't really give me an answer. There's better places for both Food service in ambience. So I chose them the remaining time in Tuscaloosa. read more

We tried dining here one night but the wait was too long. That particular night we waited for a hostess to come to the front of the front for a long time. We returned the next day around 4:30pm and were able to get a table right away. This restaurant is loud and busy, but we were seated in a tucked away booth which was comfortable. It was also college drop off week so that could've been the reason for it being crowded as a lot of families with students were there dining. I ordered a spicy cucumber margarita and the Parmesan chicken. The margarita was good and the Parmesan chicken served with rice and asparagus was delicious! One of the best meals I had while visiting Tuscaloosa! read more

I love it here and the food is so good. Thank you for all you all do. I'll be coming back.

The food is always delicious! The staff are always very friendly and professional. The venue is pretty cool too.

I can't say enough about the staff at Avenue Pub. We held a wedding event in their upstairs space a little over a week ago. Ty and his fellow staff. Went out of their way to ensure our event went off smoothly and that our guests were happy and comfortable. The bar services, specialty drinks and the food selections - which was a selection of light options served buffet style- were delicious and plentiful. Our guests left very pleased with the event as were the bride and groom. Thank you to everyone for a job well done. read more

Ave Pub never disappoints. Food is always delicious and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Celebrating Father's Day 2025, we chose Avenue Pub one because it was opened on a Sunday and a first visit for all of us. We were seated in the upstairs dining area where there was a TV and bar. I looked over the menu and a few reviews and narrowed my options down to two. I ultimately went with the Pork Ribeye + Conecuh Cream and Crispy Brussels after receiving thumbs up from our server Alexis. My dad wanted the Shrimp and Grits (grit cake) but they were out and once he saw my food (I ordered before they arrived, I was hungry!), he ordered the same. My brothers and my nephew enjoyed the American Double Burger, Side Caesar salad and Crispy Shrimp Tacos. My dad and I both raved about our meal. The ribeye was tender, the savory cream sauce added a nice touch to the bed of rice and the Brussels provided the sweetness to balance out the meal. The food was delivered to our table in a timely manner. Overall very little complaints and not too bad for a first visit. read more

Avenue Pub - Pork Ribeye + Conecuh Cream and Crispy Brussels - Salad Near Me - Tuscaloosa, Alabama

Meh! Nothing much to see here. I was really hoping to like this place but was underwhelmed and disappointed with the choice the kitchen staff made to send out obviously old, cold French fries with my burger. For any cook who makes this decision just know that you are screwing your waitress out if part of their pay! While they get paid an hourly rate the server gets a small hourly wage and depends mostly on the kindness of those she or he serves for tips. This makes me so angry that someone has to PAY for my bad experience! In this case, it will be the server. The burger itself was okay, but the homemade pickles were great?!?! The fish and chips were delicious too but the fries were once again OLD and not even warm?!?!?! Do better guys! The ambiance couldn't even save this disaster of a lunch. I will not return here. read more

We visited this location on a Sunday for brunch. They were busy - which is always a good sign - and the food and service was great. This is a very busy place, so the environment gives you the gastropub feel, which we enjoy. I had the bacon burger, which was really good. With fries which were great as well. My wife loves a poached egg so she ordered the huevos rancheros and they were also fantastic. Note that it comes with a side of this house made hot sauce - it is good and it is hot!! I put it on burger and it was very tasty. Our son ordered the Chicken Biscuit and Gravy. This was another solid winner as well. read more

My husband and I were hungry and exhausted, having stopped in Tuscaloosa for the night on a very long road trip from Michigan to Florida. Having never been in the area, we briefly looked at Yelp to find a place for dinner. The Avenue Pub was it, as it was close by, moderately priced, and appeared to have a menu that could accommodate some limitations. The restaurant was charming and lively, without being overly loud. We had THE BEST, most friendly and endearing young men, college students, who served us (one was a trainee). Food was served quickly, the flavors were delicious and unusually complex. I had the Brussels sprouts as an appetizer and the pork ribeye as my entree. Husbands had Muchacho Shrimp as an appetizer...he was quite impressed! He had the Parmesan Chicken as his entree, and raved about that as well! read more

Perfect atmosphere and amazing service. We went around lunch time and was a slight wait but we sat at the bar no wait. Kendra was the bartender and she was amazing and very friendly.

She had the Blackberry Smash drink and it was so good. Overall great experience. read more
