Here is a list I came up with to help with those making it to T-town for the game Saturday. As always, Bama fans feel free to add to the list.
FINE DINING (all are great):
-Ephihany's
-Evangeline's
-Kozy's
-Chuck's Fish
- Opus ( now closed and reopened as a Billy's Sports Grill - another Mtn. brook and Liberty Park staple new to Tuscaloosa)
-Desparadoes (Great steak)
TUSCALOOSA FAVORITES:
-Nick's in the Sticks (excellent steak and get a Nicodemus!)
-5 (love this place)
-Cypress Inn (Salmon is great)
-Dreamland
-Archibald's (better than dreamland IMO)
-Moe's BBQ (located Downtown near the new Courthouse)
-Depalma's Italian (one of my favorites)
-The Bear Trap (rooftop restaurant that overlooks the Strip)
-City Cafe (great meat and three)
-El Rincon (typical mexican food but the margarita's are great AND CHEAP! - fun atmosphere)
-Iquana Grill (upper scale mexican restaurant with awesome decor and atmosphere)
-Hokkaido (Japanese steakhouse destroyed by the April 27th tornado but recently rebuilt on 15th street)
BREAKFAST:
-Waysider (get here early or plan on waiting a long time)
-Rama Jama's
-Another Broken Egg Cafe (Mtn. Brook staple that is opening in the new River Walk condo project on the Warrior River right off campus near Manderson Park)
BARS (there are two central locations for the bars in Tuscaloosa, downtown in Temmerson Square or on The Strip. This is just a rough list, there are others on the Strip and downtown that I am sure I am forgetting)
Downtown Bars:
-Catch 22
-Innisfree (probably my favorite bar downtown, great drinks and a TON of "scenery")
-The Booth (used to be a Strip favorite but moved to a new Downtown location near Innisfree and next door to the new Courthouse and Moes BBQ)
-4th and 23rd (always have a good band playing but can get really crowded)
-Carpe Vino (wine bar/upscale feel)
-Wilhagan's (good sports bar with lots of TV's. pool tables, etc)
-Rythym and Brews (older crowd but still a fun bar)
The Strip Bars (all within walking distance to UA campus):
-Gallettes (this is the Greek bar so there will be A LOT of "scenery" here both Friday and Saturday. be sure to get a Yellow Hammer!)
-The Houndstooth (voted the best college sports bar in the country, this is a fun place also. Probably a lot of LSU fans will be here)
-Egans (don't like this place. Always seemed to be the artsy, sketchy crowd)
-The Jupiter (the place for the big bands to play in Tuscaloosa. If there isn't a good band playing do not waste your time here)
-Rounders (the closest thing to a club you will find in Tuscaloosa)
SHOPPING:
University Mall (your typical indoor mall with all the name brand stores)
Midtown Village (brand new outdoor mall with a lot of new shops and restaurants)
The Tuscaloosa Galleria (upscale boutiques, fine dining, etc)
Downtown Tuscaloosa (upscale boutiques, etc)
THINGS TO SEE:
-Walk around the UA campus (Quad, President's Mansion, Sorority Row, The Walk of Champions, Gorgas House, etc. It is truly a beautiful campus with several buildings dating back to pre-cival war)
-Bryant Museum (great museum covering the history of Alabama football)
-Manderson Landing Park (great place besides campus to take in a good run. It is a beautiful park right on the Black Warrior River)
-Ride around the city and take in the massive damage done to the city by the April 27th tornado.
I know this has been long but hope this helps. For parking info, etc. check out www.uagameday.com. Feel free to ask me any questions and I will do my best to answer. HAVE A GREAT TIME!

And bring some hot snatch. I know y'all have them around, bc they love to get shoe shopping tips from you types that play on the other team (not that there is anything wrong with that).

I live in Tuscaloosa and the steaks at Nicks in the Sticks are fair at most but overcomes the quality of the steak by being cheap. Don't go there with shorts on because you will stick to your seat.
Also, best breakfast in Tuscaloosa is Ramma Jamma. Hands down. Get the center cut ham (not the cured salty ham).
DePalma is best Italian.
Surin is really good for Thai food and good, not great sushi.
Other than those, the list is good.

Big Bad Wolves for BBQ nachos
I don't know why, but I have to hit that place up every time I'm in town for a game.

Thanks for the list. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it this year, but my brother will be there. Sent him the list.

I'll fix some of this for you and try to trim down some of the fat.
Cypress Inn is a nice little restaurant but it isn't fine dining. Same goes for Desperados.
Nick's in the Stick is a fun place to go eat but I wouldn't describe the steak as excellent. It's average, but it is cheap.
Another Broken Egg isn't open yet so pointless to mention.
---------------------------------------
Hit up Archibald's BBQ for some ribs, Depalmas for Italian including great pizza and calzones, & 5 and Chuck's are both good restaurants. For bars, stick to Innisfree, Houndtooth, and Galettes(get a yellowhammer) and you'll have a blast.

Dude.
Cypress Inn ain't fine dining, but it's damn good.
And you're not supposed to mention Archibald's. Dreamland is for out of towners, Archibalds is for locals.
