The Cypress Inn - Tuscaloosa

Great views of the river while you eat. Large menu. I had the gulf shrimp fried with slaw and smoked Gouda grits. It was excellent. The hush puppies were almost as good as my grandmother's. Definitely going back next time I'm in town.

One of my favorite places in Tuscaloosa. Growing up if you wanted a nice meal, you came here. I hear it's gone downhill but when I used to live in Tuscaloosa it was great. Best bread in town. Not to mention it's such a relaxing and beautiful place to eat. It sits on the lake and can be so magical as the sun sets. I've always had great service here.

Permanently closed for casual dining In the process if being repurposed Possibly open for events

Had a great lunch here today with a beautiful view! The food is all reasonably priced and they give you delicious bread/muffins beforehand. I had the catfish which came with hushpuppies and I must admit it was very good. My sides were coleslaw and squash which I was also impressed with. I got to try the salmon as well and if you like salmon you wont be disappointed. Only reason I cant give 5 stars is the past two times i've come it was just mediocre. Overall pretty good food, but incredible views!

Absolutely, ridiculously delicious. WOW!! The amberjack with mashed sweet potatoes and grits was phenomenal. Sweet potatoes whipped to a consistency of baby food extra smooth. Grits hit the spot and blackened Amberjack tasted great. Fantastic views from the outdoor dining area. Highly recommend.
