    Shrimp and grits
    LaTonya B.

    I've been wanting to go to Jazz Brunch but I guess today wasn't the day!! And sad to say will be the last day We came to Five, was seated real quickly in the back where the kids study.. I immediately got irritated people came in after us and was not seated back there. I even heard a family standing in the door way next to us talk about it was going to be a 30 to 45 minute wait for them even though it was several tables behind us. Sad to say this visit felt very discriminating & I don't have to go to no place I'm not welcomed..

    Great new menu item! Not sure if it's just seasonal or here to stay but it's delicious!

    The flank steak here is surprisingly tender and packed with flavor. The chimichurri sauce on top adds a fresh and tangy contrast. The roasted sweet potatoes on the side are a nice change from the usual fries. Everything came together beautifully.

    When you roll through Tuscaloosa make sure you hit FIVE BAR... Name comes from only 5 entree items on the menu whether it be brunch or dinner. Nice cocktail list, exceptional service in a laid back clean relaxed environment. We dropped in for brunch I started with a cup of fresh coffee and the beignets... entree was the grilled shrimp and grits, which have the right amount of ghost peppers and goat cheese! Highly recommended!

    Easy-peasy ordering with such a limited menu.

    Five Bar. I get it. There are just 5 entrees each night for dinner and it also has a beautiful historic bar. It's spacious and wide open inside the historic building. The bartender, Matt, was on point in keeping our adult beverages full. There is an incredible collection of hand painted pop-type art paintings on every wall. The food was very good and prepared in a small kitchen. The wait service did a good job taking care of us as the place got increasingly busy on a Saturday night.

    I wasn't sure if I wanted to go because of the "limited" menu of 5 entrees BUT definitely happy we went!! Our server was polite and attentive! The music was straight off our own playlist! Definitely recommend!

    Have been here a few times. The food is always good and so is the vibe. Tonight our waitress was great and very attentive. Their menu is small but what they do have is very good. I definitely recommend this place.

    Chicken and Waffles with a Bloody Mary
    Jonnie C.

    Come on who doesn't love chicken and waffles? Especially when the chicken is crispy and well seasoned and the waffle is fluffy and served with pecans on top. Certainly I loved it. It is a bar making the Bloody Mary bar, included pickled okra, a nice touch.

    While we were making the move from Texas to North Carolina we stopped in Tuscaloosa for the night…read more 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.

    Me and wife came here for lunch after seeing reviews…read more 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.

    First time at this spot, and my initial impression was positive. I would say, I love, love, love…read morethat they use Big Green Egg's inside the restaurant on the line. 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.
