EAT

Tuscaloosa is known for its unique history when it comes to southern-style cooking and houses some of the most acclaimed restaurants that began from the ground up. For any food-loving locals, breakfast includes a visit to the Waysider with a large plate of grits and a hot cup of coffee. For lunch, grab some friend green tomatoes at City Cafe, featured on ESPN's segment "Taste of the Town." Wind down with a quiet dinner by the Black Warrior River at the Cypress Inn, known for its fine wines and upscale southern cuisine. With many diverse options, Tuscaloosa is sure to satisfy even the pickiest of eaters.
