    Yummy Catfish, Hush Puppies, Collards and Potato Salad!!!
    Jim T.

    Outstanding Catfish! Hush puppies to die for. My Collard Greens were over the moon with flavor. Potato salad rounded out the Large and two sides. We are stuffed! Great Service with a smile. You need to eat here....

    Caramel cake...delicious!!

    It was our first time at King's Kitchen. We were in the area for our granddaughters gymnastics meet and googled soul food restaurants. King's caught our eye. The food and service was excellent. Also the cleanliness of the restaurant was great!! We'll go back again when we're in the area!!

    This place was small but very clean. Staff was great and the food was good. Especially the pork chops and collard greens. Next time we will get there early so we can get some homemade cake. All was gone an hour before closing. Give it a try when you're in the Tuscaloosa area. Sweet tea is dark and sweet like it's supposed to be.

    Hamburger steak, peas, and beans

    I have been wanting to try this place for quite some time now and happened to be in the area yesterday and decided to drop in. There was a short line but they have two staff available to take orders so it went quickly. We ordered, we're given our drinks, and sat down. I immediately noticed how clean this place is. It was spotless and I was very impressed. For my meal I ordered the hamburger steak with onions and gravy, Lima beans, and purple hull peas. Everything was very well seasoned, hot, and delicious! The wait time for food was short and the staff kept checking to make sure you didn't need anything else. By the time we left the line was out the door and now I know why.

We started with oysters. The mignonette was delicious and the oysters were fresh and tasty. Farm salad was enough for 3 or 4 people. The snapper entree's were amazing. Perfectly cooked and served witch delicious local vegetables! The seared tuna was an equally delicious. Wine & beer selection was good. Chocolate mousse dessert was really good as well. I highly recommend The River! We definitely want to return as the menu changes with seasons and locally sourced ingredients!

    Second trip to River Restaurant starts off on a bad note. We arrived at 10:35 a.m. and the inside…read moredining room was only about half full with several empty tables, and the outdoor seating area, which we specifically requested, also had open tables. 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.

The wait for our party of 5 wasn't too long and we were seated in a big booth near the bar. Very nice decor, classy but comfortable. All of the servers and staff were super friendly and offered a nice selection of local brews and tasty margaritas. Several of us had the redfish special which was just outstanding! All in all, and outstanding experience. Definitely a repeater for us when next we're in town.

    Well after seeing reviews me and wife decided on this for lunch…read more I'll say all the staff were great. Very friendly. But the food?????? Wife wanted a salad and potato skins so went with the wedge which came chopped so more of a chopped salad than a wedge and it was fine. Nothing spectacular. Who potato skins were reminiscent of some frozen ones you heat in the oven. Didn't seem fresh at all. The bacon wasn't that great really and the cheeses was cheese. 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.

    Our family took us out to eat for dinner and this was one of our options. When my husband's aunt…read moresaid prime steak house. I was worries it was going to be a more upscale place. As we weren't dressed to the nines. We had jeans and tshirts. This place was laid back. Almost like texas roadhouse vibes but still different. They have oysters for apps and they have other shareables. We went with the fried green tomatoes. They were good. The breading was thin yet crispy. Top off with some ranch. They have a menu with some cocktails, beer, and wine. His aunt and i both had one glass of wine. I did the mascato and she did the cabernet. His uncle ordered the shrimp n grits as thats his usual. The shrimp he just had them grilled and less seasoning. They will accommodate for you. Both his aunt and i ordered the big blue burger. We both went bunless. The burger itself to me with the blue cheese did not need additional sauce. I ordered mine medium, which was fine. I almost wish i said medium rare. The baked potato was good. i tried some of the okra and that was tasty too. We were orig told it would be about a 30 min wait. Which didnt take but 15-20 to be seated. It just took a tad for our food to come out. Otherwise we were all pleased. The girl that waited on us was very kind and attentive. I figured it would be kind to help them get updates photos. Since the latest menu pics on here are 5 years old!!! Yikes

But tonight, we decided to wander off the beaten path and try something new. I went with the Nola Pasta, and my wife ordered the Chef Salad, and let me tell you -- both were absolutely delicious! The place just oozes southern charm, from the mounted deer skulls to the old hand saws, sickles, and what I like to call "vintage farming toys" hanging on the walls. Every now and then, you'll hear a little buzz from the airplanes dangling overhead -- adds a bit of character if you ask me. The staff couldn't have been friendlier. They took great care of us and made us feel right at home. And I've got to talk about those cheese sticks... mercy. They're so good they'll make you wanna slap yo' momma -- but don't do it, she raised you better! Honestly, these might just be the best cheese sticks in Alabama... maybe even the whole South. The dining area was spotless, too. I was half tempted to stake out the next table over, just in case someone dropped a cheese stick -- I was ready to pounce! Bottom line: 43 Prime is serving up great food with true southern personality. We'll definitely be back.

But spring break week flipped the script in the best way possible. Tonight, my wife and I met up with some good friends for a pre-retirement dinner, and with the college crowd scattered to the beaches, downtown felt like it belonged to us "seasoned locals" again. No lines, no crowds--just a quick call ahead and we were seated within minutes. That alone felt like a win. We started things off with the fried green tomatoes--a true Southern delicacy and, let's be honest, acid reflux's favorite dance partner. Worth it? Absolutely. These were hot, crispy, and full of flavor. The kind of dish that would make Grandma nod in approval. No shortcuts, just done right. For the entrée, I went with the UBK Pasta--blackened chicken, sausage, and shrimp tossed with corkscrew pasta probably crafted in a cast iron skillet. It came out hot and packed with flavor, carrying just the right amount of spice to keep things interesting without overwhelming the dish. Exactly how I like it. My wife stuck with a proven winner: the shrimp & grits. She's had it before, and once again, it delivered. Consistency matters, and this dish continues to hit the mark every time. Now, not everything was quite as smooth. Our waitress wasn't exactly channeling that warm Southern hospitality you hope for. Let's just say she wasn't "Miss Dolly" serving smiles with a side of charm. The service leaned a bit on the impatient side--subtle (and not-so-subtle) hints that our time at the table was up, including clearing drinks before we were even finished. At one point I joked about going to the restroom but worried I might come back to find my chair gone. Still, when the food is this good, it carries the experience. Urban Bar & Kitchen continues to deliver where it matters most--on the plate. The atmosphere was relaxed thanks to spring break timing, the food was as strong as ever, and the company made it even better. As for the service... maybe she was just ready for her own spring break reunion. Happens to the best of us. Final takeaway: Go for the food--it's consistently excellent. And if you can catch a quieter night like this one, even better.
