The prices are very reasonable, so if you're in the area stop in and pay them a visit.

The sides were typical for a soul food restaurant and were good as well. The prices are good but I believe a bit underpriced for the amount of food I was given. I could not finish my entire plate.

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.

A hot mess but trying. There's a difference between a cook and a chef. This place has a credible…read morerenowned chef, but the problems arise from the lack of capable kitchen help which makes Urban Country Kitchen's food preparation, quality, and service fall apart. One general never won a war alone. Capable soldiers are needed too. My visit here found the artistry and vision, but not the execution. The restaurant is set up in a cafeteria fashion herding patrons through a line. Often the posted menu items being served run out with large gaps occuring before they are replenished. The batches quality is varying because each time an item is never cooked the same. The service wait time is epic causing the customer line of many different races to start at the door. Thats a major flag because the place is only open for five hours and closes. The pricing of a dinner plate consisting of a meat option, two choices of various sides, a bread selection, bottomless lemonade or tea for dine-in patrons, and a dessert was on the spendy side to me, however, I think that's the norm now in this present economy. Overall, I give the food a six. My next visit should be better because I know the chef is good enough to right this ship and get it sailing on the proper course.
