Ate dinner here this past week and was very impressed. First off, the spring rolls and fried green tomatoes were very good appetizers. They prepped me for the 8 oz. filet of beef. It was one of the best I’ve ever had–cooked medium, very juicy and tender. Then topped it off with bread pudding for dessert, and it didn’t let me down. I rank the restaurant a 10 for atmosphere and food taste.
The atmosphere is very good. Crowded, loud, TV’s, etc. Tuesday is Lady’s Night, so drinks and sushi are inexpensive for you. You may wonder why I got steak at a seafood restaurant–that’s because I’m not a fan of seafood.
I recommend eating there. They have bands, with no cover. I’ve never heard anything negative about it. Check it out at www.chucksfish.com
Restaurant Review: The Pigg Shack
This is a relatively new bbq joint in Tuscaloosa. I was introduced to it by Chris Sprayberry and have now proclaimed it the best bbq in Tuscaloosa, besides Big Bad Wolves, of course. Mark says the same thing. Rozlynn still says the original Dreamland is the best, which is legitimate argument.
Location: Just off Hwy 69 in the Hillcrest area
Setting: No inside, either drive-thru, take out, or sit on the picnic tables outside.
They are very friendly and offer somewhat slow service, but only because the food is fresh. I recommend call-ahead.
I like their pork plate, and you get two sides with it. They have a broccoli salad that is good, and not found at many places. Their onion rings are also good. Their banana pudding is probably the best in town–yes, better than Dreamland and 15th Street Diner.
Their briskit and ribs are also good and tender.
Stop by, you will be pleased. Mark and I are going tonight for a little pre-Thanksgiving and Turkey Bowl meal.
