    Come hungry!! Check out the massive pulled pork baked potato I got!! I was only able to take down half but it was good. I prefer the potato to be cooked a bit longer but with all those toppings, it was hard to notice. I also was tempted to get the deviled eggs because I love deviled eggs and they used a particular brand of pickles I love. They were delicious but a bit skimpy on the filling- I like it more like a mound overflowing. Still delicious though. Service was good. I enjoyed the casual but clean environment.

    Another yummy meal. This is my favorite of the AL BBQ places I've tried. I got the chopped plate and the sweet sauce was a nice addition. My husband had the Greek salad and said it was actually the best salad he had ever had.

    Bbq chicken meal

    This is my second visit to this location. I was not a fan the first time but my sister loves this place and wanted to go while we were visiting the area. Staff is great here. Despite everything going on due to the pandemic, the staff was helpful while I was trying to deal with a cranky four year old. I ordered the bbq chicken (dark meat) with fried green tomatoes and Mac and cheese as my sides. I remembered getting the baked beans and coleslaw last time and not liking either option. Food don't take long to come out and the tomatoes are fried when ordered so they were fresh out the grease hot. I realized during this visit that the sides can make or break your meal because this time I enjoyed everything. With a pinch of salt, the Mac and cheese would have been hall of fame good. The tomatoes were excellent. Not too thickly sliced and seasoned well. The chicken was good too. I love the dollop of chow chow that comes with every meal. So glad I went back.

    Brisket baked potato- Brisket plate with Mac and cheese and stuffed eggs

    Our first time there was on Sunday- today- when they first opened. Immediately when we entered they were all really friendly! The cashier was very helpful with us ordering for our fist Time here. Sometimes it can be a bit intimidating for older folks , to order somewhere we've never been. She made us feel comfortable and made some great suggestions. The food came out hot and quick. It was really good. I got the brisket bake potato and he got the brisket plate. Only downside was that it was super expensive for us. I mean $45 for two. That's all. Maybe we'll order something on the dollar menu next time nah. They don't have one. But it was good. By the time I was getting close to finishing the potato, I was extremely full and getting tired of it. It's big y'all. It's actually two baked potatoes! The restaurant was nice and clean and the workers there were all very nice!!

    Ribs

    Key lime pie , OMG. The key lime pie was one of the surprising highlights of the meal. It was creamy and delicious, definitely save room for the pie. The nachos were also fantastic, the white sauce made them even better! I loved the white sauce on the onion rings too. The onion rings were also fabulous, thick corn meal coated hearty onions, very filling.I had the spare ribs and they were very good , nice white meat with delicious sweet barbecue sauce. I have definitely had way better ribs but I would get these again and again! The sides I had were also top notch , the baked beans were delicious. The cole slaw was very different then I am accustomed too , from Philadelphia, but I loved the vinegar based slaw! The menu is huge and I can't wait to try the baked potatoes , wings and deviled eggs! I wish I ordered the deviled eggs!

    One happy fellow.

    My husband said it is the best BBQ he has had in a long time. If we weren't traveling we would have got some to go. The brisket was moist and the ribs were so tasty. We did get a couple of slices of pie to eat on the road. The service as fast and friendly. If you are looking for some Alabama Football history and highlights check this place out!!

    Awesome Bama stuff

    I like any place like this over the Same Old Sh*t you can find everywhere (Golden Arches?). The Food was excellent and if you like Alabama sports, you've got to see the inside, it's freakin awesome like some dudes man cave.

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.

Still, we were told there would be a 15-20 minute wait. We waited about 35 minutes before seating. Make it make sense. That said, the restaurant sits right along the Black Warrior River, which offers a really pleasant view, especially from the patio. On a cool spring day like today, it's hard to beat outdoor seating here. Tuscaloosa is buzzing with football fans for the annual A-Day spring game, which adds to the energy around town. My better half ordered the shrimp and grits, and I went with the steak fajita bowl, minus the sunny-side-up egg. Even at my age, I can't do the runny yolk situation, I always ask for my eggs over hard. With that change, I'll say the fajita bowl jumped up to one of my top breakfast/brunch go-to dishes in town. Yes, I know it's technically brunch, but it was before 11 a.m., so I'm calling it breakfast. The shrimp and grits were solid, though the tails were still on the shrimp, which meant a bit of extra peeling at the table, my wife wasn't a fan of that part, but she still finished the dish and enjoyed it overall. Only minor gripe on the food side: ice seems to be a rare commodity here, I'd love a few more cubes in the water. But overall, the food was very good, the patio seating is absolutely the way to go, and the river view is fantastic.

All in all edible but not enjoyable. I went with the bacon wrapped meatloaf with mashed potatoes with gravy and a side of Mac and cheese. I'll start with the Mac. It was horrible. Sorry don't mean to be a downer but wasn't good at all. The mashed and gravy a big nope. The potatoes weren't all that good. It was like eating a plat of spackle. And the gravy was horrendous. Made bad potato's worse. The meatloaf was ok. Kind of like cafeteria meatloaf. I did eat it but wasn't thrilled. Again not a fan of that bacon so ditched that after one bite. Personally I would not go back and wife agreed. Maybe we got the wrong items but nothing was good.

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 Brown Bag Restaurant in Northport has been a staple for good eats for as long as I can…read moreremember. I can't tell you how many times people have recommended it for lunch, yet I never managed to stop in and experience it for myself until today. My work schedule and the Bag's hours always seemed to clash, and since it's a bit off the beaten path, it stayed in the "out of sight, out of mind" category. Now, as I'm approaching full retirement, I finally had the time to swing by and see what all the fuss was about. Upon arrival, the first sign you're in the right place is the parking lot. It's packed, about like a blue tick on a hound dog. Stepping inside, don't expect anything fancy. The interior is old school with faded paint and a no frills setup. Your food is served in Styrofoam containers with plastic utensils. But that's part of the charm. Who needs fine china when you're filling your gizzard with good soul food? The place was full and I managed to grab one of the last open tables under the roof. I then waited for the waitress who was running laps across the dining area, taking orders, refilling drinks, checking out customers, and handling everything in between. If you come anywhere near lunch hour, don't expect Jimmy John's Freaky Fast service. You're here to slow down and enjoy the experience. When I ordered, I went with a catfish fillet, turnip greens, field peas, fried green tomatoes, a side of cornbread, and tartar sauce for the fish. The fried green tomatoes did not make it out with the order, but the waitress was very apologetic and adjusted my bill to a meat and two instead of a meat and three, which I appreciated. Now to the important part, the food. The catfish was hot, crispy, and perfectly cooked, not greasy at all, just honest, well done Southern cooking. The turnip greens and field peas were flavorful and comforting, exactly what you hope for in a place like this. The tartar sauce had a slightly sweet twist that I was not expecting, different from the traditional version, but surprisingly excellent. I will need a few more visits before I can fully put that into words, but it worked. Overall, now I understand the buzz. The Brown Bag delivers exactly what it promises, simple, hearty, well prepared soul food served without pretense. I will definitely be back, and now that retirement is on the horizon, I have got all the time in the world to wait on a good meal, unlike you working folks still rushing through lunch.

The crispy crinkle fries were great, the okra was also crispy and cooked well, and the greens with cornbread were also really good. Delicious. The catfish was crispy and so good I didn't even use hot sauce or tartar; it was tasty by itself, seasoned good. The side salad was fresh, lettuce was crispy and probably the best salad I've ever got anywhere togo. They have meat and three options, dinner plates, large plates, sandwiches and bulk orders for get togethers/parties. I only spent $24 and had one of the best meals from a restaurant in months. (I came for catfish but had to try the ribs when I smelled the bbq smoke. And then I figured I might as well try the burger too.) It was all well worth it and great portions for the prices. The smell of the bbq hits you as soon as you park and you can immediately sense the hard work and time that has been put into this place. It reminds me of places I would go to as a kid and places I've been longing to find again. They've been in business over 30 years and the hospitality and food shows exactly why. No fancy frills or crazy marketing needed. Just good food and good people working hard to continue their legacy. The employees and owner were so kind even while busy with multiple orders. It's a warm nostalgic feeling being here. I will absolutely be back to try the smoked chicken, fried green tomatoes, and desserts. I can't stop thinking about this place, it's on my top 5 Tuscaloosa restaurant list now. 100/10.

I felt we were forgotten even though the servers were walking through the tight dining room often. Sorry to say after all the great things we'd heard, this won't be a repeater for me.
