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.

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.

We sat right down at a high top table and were met by an awesome server within seconds. We ordered the Cowboy and Cobra Kai burger with regular and sweet potato fries. As we were waiting for our food the server brought us a couple small plastic cups with a big bottle of sauce. Little did we know, this sauce was the icing on the cake. It is so delicious and went perfectly with the fries. All in all we give this place a 10! The burger was spot on and the fries were perfectly salted with slight crunch! We will definitely be going back!

We were able to order right away and sit down. They were out of a couple of items we wanted, but that was no big deal. The atmosphere was a dive restaurant with Crimson Tide memorabilia galore. The food came out very quickly. The food was standard. There was no "wow factor" about it. It didn't taste bad, but it just seemed basic. The hash browns could have been crispier, but they seemed as if they were cooked on a surface that wasn't quite hot enough. You may be asking yourself, hey dude, why the 4 stars? Well, here is why. You cannot beat the price for the amount of food you can get here. The Crimson Tide memorabilia here can't be matched. It covers all sports! It is also right outside the stadium. If you are a Crimson Tide fan, then this is a do not miss for you!

She had no common courtesy whatsoever. When i got my food i politely asked the lady if she could fix my order for me and she gave me a stank look and slammed the window on me. This is unacceptable! people who act like this should not be working customer service. Everyone that has taken my order before was so nice and helpful and the food is great and cheap. I believe the young lady that took my order was tall and wore glasses. Cookout please do something about this!!

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 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.

The food is good but it is incredibly overpriced. $9.00 for a single burger with NO sides. It's a small, clean restaurant with a similarly small menu.

The atmosphere is cute - the menu is limited (1 burger, 3 sandwiches, 2 or 3 flatbreads and 2 salads). We ordered: 1 - the double cheeseburger, boring. Lots of meet but not much in the way of toppings. The pickle slice was nice. 2 - BLT, boring. Needs a sauce, even mayo. Would love to see palmetto cheese or avocado or cheddar. Spring mix is the wrong choice in lettuce as well. It turns into mush with the tomato. Nothing memorable. 3 - The Yardhouse, awkward. It was hard to eat with large chicken "cubes" and lots of white bbq sauce. Either keeping the chicken whole or using a shredded chicken would be better. 4 - Fries. 1 order would have been plenty to share among 3 people. They were the best part of the meal and came with a fry sauce. Another strike is that they don't brew their own tea. We're in the Deep South... some days the best thing we've got is fresh brewed tea at every turn. This was a nope... but on top of that the carbonation was "off" in the soda machine too. Good thing drinks are only $2.

The bread was great and crispy, but the rest of the sandwich was uninspired. You couldn't even taste the pimento cheese. The fries were okay but needed more salt. With so much competition in town, I was hoping there would be more levels of flavor. The restaurant is very clean, which is always a plus for me. I've heard good things about the salads. Maybe go for one of those.
