Great food at a reasonable price. They always have that down home friendly service that welcomes you.

This is best place for vegetables and hot lunch in Tuscaloosa and Northport highly recommend

This is a city staple. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Go early or order takeout. You won't be disappointed.

All you fans visiting Tuscaloosa from the North. Don't stop here. They will call you "sweetie", "honey", "baby". This establishment has some good southern food that is priced right. A classic meat and three. Take your choice of seating and your waitress will quickly take your order and the food will arrive very quickly. I recommend the hamburger steak. Cornbread is a must here so make sure you ask. It had been 30 years since my last visit and I will ensure this is a stop when I am in Tuscaloosa.

The food is amazing. Truly southern cooking. Miss Dean was so sweet and attentive. As crowded as they were with the lunch rush, our food came out quickly.

Visited from Arizona, and for the entire 1500 miles or so to get here, City Cafe has been on my "gotta do it!" list I honestly don't know how many times we've been here, but the story has been the same EVERY visit! Excellent, homey, old-style food with very generous portions and honest, fair prices. In all of our visits, we've NEVER encountered a member of the staff who was anything other than friendly, efficient, and genuinely a pleasure to meet. Our server today, Paige, was no exception. What a delightful young lady! My grandson, having listened to a really customized version of "The Three Little Pigs" asked for wolf stew for his breakfast. Paige never missed a beat, politely and graciously explaining that "It's not on the breakfast menu. I'm sorry!" His omelette was excellent!

You want good southern grandma cooking ? Go here for breakfast or lunch. They aren't open for supper or weekends!

Any time we are in the Tuscaloosa area, City Cafe is a must. With good homestyle cooking and incredibly reasonable prices, you'll leave feeling full and your wallet won't be hurting. This trip we arrived an hour before closing and I think that hurt our overall service experience. It took a bit to be seated, which was to be expected. Seating is first come first serve and you stand in line and wait for a table to open up. Once seated, our server took our order and we pretty much did not see her again. Another server took care of drink refills while another actually brought our food. The food itself was good and I have no complaints, I just would not order the mac and cheese again. Our toddler was a big fan of the cornbread! Overall, we had a good experience and I'm sure we'll be back the next time we come to town.

As classic as in gets. Came to town for a football game and came here and it did not disappoint. Basic menu but everything was great. The fried chicken was amazing. I tried my buddies catfish and it was really good too. Very friendly staff who explained all the food options. The ambiance is an old southern cafe
