Avenue Pub - Downtown Tuscaloosa - Tuscaloosa, Alabama

Bill Gordon

So we made the trip to Tuscaloosa this week to attend an estate sale that had some cool antiques we were interested in. Had to have lunch, so we ventured downtown and found the Avenue Pub American Eatery. We had never been to the Crimson City before, so we were very lucky to have picked this great Pub to eat at. While the lunch menu was very simple, we had a nice selection to choose from. We both had the bacon cheeseburger, mine with mac n cheese and my wife's with hand cut fries. So I have to say, the food was fantastic! A great half pound, cooked perfectly, juice and tasty sandwich! The hand cut fries were crispy, great because getting hand cut fries done the correct way is a skill some restaurants struggle with, and the mac n cheese was not too funny and not too dry. Well done Avenue Pub! And I have to mention our server! Jaclyn was fantastic! Checked on us multiple times, kept our drinks full, brought the check when we were ready to roll ans smiled the entire time! Great job Jaelyn! All in all, we will definitely be back and recommend wholeheartedly!

Perfect atmosphere and amazing service. We went around lunch time and was a slight wait but we sat at the bar no wait. Kendra was the bartender and she was amazing and very friendly. I had the bacon cheeseburger and fries and their burgers are always so amazing. Wife had the Fried Green Tomatoes BLT and she was so happy and excited about it. She had the Blackberry Smash drink and it was so good. Overall great experience.

Solid food and friendly staff. Fries are some of the best. Oh, and the burger is great, of course. This drink was surprisingly good -- The Gin Mill: New Amsterdam gin, St. Germain, and fresh squeezed kiwi and lime juice.

The service and restaurant was nice, as well as our drinks; however, the food was underwhelming. We got the salmon plate, which was smothered with sauce, overcooked and very small. The rice was also hard. We also got the steak sandwich, which would have been good if the steak wasn’t overcooked.
The tomato appetizer was decent. Overall, it’s a nice vibe but not worth the $100+ we paid for the food. The best item was easily the brussel sprouts.
The staff was nice.

Limited menu but everything was delicious and well done, with fresh ingredients. They offer several local beers on draft. Happy hour from 3 pm to 6 pm. Well located in a corner of University Boulevard Av. Plenty of tables, two levels, and some outdoor ones. Parking lot and street parking nearby.

My review is for Brunch only.
My family and friends love having brunch here. It’s one of the best places downtown that has delicious food made fresh and it’s kids friendly. Between us we have tried almost everything on the menu. The avocado toast is a good choice when you are looking for something light. The shrimp and grits is new on the menu and it’s amazing.
The double mimosa for 5 bucks is a treat.
Brunch is served from 10am- 3pm Saturday and Sunday.

Lunch menu is a bit small, but we got the Thai Nachos and they were good. Even as an appetizer, it was large enough for to serve as a meal for 3 people, and it was tasty. Bathrooms were clean too.

Also, Nate Oats was there.

Nice atmosphere, not too crowded. Large portions! 3 of us shared the Thai nachos. They were great!!
I ordered fish and chips, my husband had the bacon burger, and my daughter had the salmon. They were all delicious!
