The service is fast and efficient; you order at the counter and wait for your name to be called. Since they're used to serving so many students, they are incredibly fast. My biggest issue is that this Cane's is in the middle of campus; there's minimal to no parking without a permit, you have to walk into the dorm building, etc. They do have seating around the area, where students from the dorm also hang out.

Y'all, lemme tell ya... the bigger snack had me grinnin' like a possum in a sweet potato patch. Hot, juicy chicken fingers that slap harder than a summer sunburn, and fries so crispy they could double as drumsticks. The service? Fast and friendly, like they been servin' folks this good eatin' since forever. And the spot? Quiet enough this morning to catch some Olympic action while enjoyin' a meal that's nothing short of fabulous. Listen here, if you think there's a better chicken finger joint in the Tuscaloosa/Northport area, bless your heart--go argue with the wall, 'cause I ain't hearin' it. Foosackly's is the gold standard, the crown jewel, the Beyoncé of chicken fingers. Don't sleep on it, sugar.

I got the chicken gyro with lentil soup. The chicken gyro was good but a little bland and small. The fries were good and well seasoned. The lentil soup was just not good at all. It was a broth consistency, and I've only ever had a thicker robust lentil soup. I tried doctoring it with salt and pepper, but to no avail on being able to eat it. My finance's gyro plate was great though! The meat was 10/10, Taziki sauce was nicely flavored, good texture and season on rice, nice Greek salad and lots of gyro bread. Service was fast and staff were friendly. Tables weren't clean, but it looks more like a college place to go. Will get a plate/platter next time instead of the wraps, or just a good ol burger and fry.

Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers

I've been coming to Freddy's here in Tuscaloosa since it first opened, and while I've always had…read moresolid experiences, today was by far the best visit yet. I ordered the Freddy's Original Double, which I've had plenty of times before, but today it just hit different. The burger was cooked perfectly--fresh off the grill, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. The toppings were spot on and balanced just right. When a burger is dripping with juices as you bite into it, you know it's done right. Nobody wants one of those dry, Sahara-desert burgers where you need a sip of water after every bite. This one definitely wasn't that. If the burgers are cooked like they were today every time, this place would be slam packed 24/7. The service was great too--quick turnaround, friendly smile at the register, and good food on a Sunday afternoon after church. I also noticed a Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich on the menu that looks like it might be fire, so I'll definitely be back soon to give that one a try. Great job today, Freddy's. Keep turning out burgers like that and you'll keep me coming back.

The service was, unfortunately, nonexistent…read more We stopped in about an hour before closing, so there was still plenty of time to order. If it had only been a few minutes before closing, we never would have gone in. When we walked in, the two employees behind the counter immediately seemed annoyed that customers had arrived. We stood at the front counter waiting to order for about 15 minutes. During that entire time, neither employee acknowledged us, made eye contact, or even said they'd be with us shortly. Instead, they slowly walked around, appearing visibly irritated and mumbling under their breath. I kept thinking someone would eventually help us, but after waiting that long without even being acknowledged, we finally left and went somewhere else. I was honestly shocked because I've never experienced service like that before. Unfortunately, I can't comment on the food since we never even had the opportunity to place an order.

If you've never had meat (or VEGGIES!) cooked on a BGE, it will change your life. This fact alone will bring me back to try other things. Before I get into the meal, my only real complaint was that they only had a soda machine and tea. I had brought my mother along, and she already had lunch and wanted just to sit and chat. As it was a very cold day she was gonna order a coffee and they don't offer anything hot! It's definitely an opportunity to expand here even if it was just so simple as putting a Keurig machine in the back. I had the Buffalo Chicken Wrap. It is served with grilled chicken in a grilled wrap and cheddar cheese. If there was a buffalo sauce, I didn't taste any. I was a little disappointed in the wrap. The flavor didn't really stand out as being cooked on the Big Green Egg. The cheese wasn't really melted, which can be a common problem with shredded cheddar cheese, but it also didn't really have the buffalo flavor that I was looking for in a buffalo chicken wrap (maybe it was a Toledo Ohio wrap I don't know just not spicy. ) It served with a side of ranch which I juiced up with some Cholula and that helped. I i'm not knocking the quality of the food because it was good. It just didn't live up to the expectations I had in my head based on the menu description. It also came with a side, which I chose the broccoli salad. This was nicely done with bacon, I believe some quinoa and the broccoli was chopped up nicely so you didn't have huge chunks. Also, it wasn't overly sauced so that would make it runny. Overall I give the property four out five stars. Also, the flavor of the whole meal was fine. Good size portion and good value for your money.

When I came back, I found that my car was trapped between three cars and a curb with no way of driving out. KEEP IN MIND THEY DIRECTED ME (AS WELL AS THE OTHER CARS) TO PARK EXACTLY WHERE WE PARKED! The narcissistic manager tried to tell me that it was "my fault for not coming early enough", EVEN THOUGH PEOPLE WHO CAME LATER THAN ME GOT TO BE PARKED IN A WAY THAT DIDN'T TRAP THEM! She also tried to gaslight me by saying that "every one paid for parking." Okay, and? Why am I paying just as much to have my car trapped? When I brought this up, there was no apology. In fact, I never received an apology. These people are clearly money hungry and trying to park as many cars as possible--- even if it means risking damage to your vehicle and trapping you. Oh, and in terms of ambience, the bathrooms were disgusting. There was no toilet paper in 1/3 of the stalls, period pads on the floor, and it smelled disgusting. Don't go here.

The fries were a highlight--crispy, well-seasoned, and tasty. The wings, though, lacked seasoning and the sauce tasted more like teriyaki than Korean BBQ. Flavor seemed to rely on the sauce alone, not the chicken itself. Still worth a visit for the vibe and service. Just don't expect bold, seasoned flavors in every bite.
