FIVE Tuscaloosa

Monday after work Xmas. Great atmosphere. Beautiful place. I will say it's pricey for what you get. $9 dollars for a half of an avacado stuffed with some mixture. It was good but it's like paying $9 dollars for a half of a stuffed egg at Easter. I'm not a cheapo but come on. You used to be served 3 halves for that price. The cheapest thing is the burger coming in at $14. Now we had good service. Staff was friendly. So pull out the credit card if you want to go. I didn't even mention the drinks. Maybe two credit cards.

Wonderful quirky venue with courteous and timely service. Our party of 6 was seated without a wait for a Saturday lunch. Recommend getting there by 11:30 because they are a popular lunch spot. Food was tasty with generous portions. Enjoyed the art lining the walls and the eclectic mix of lighting fixtures. Will definitely go back for more!

A real treasure I found strolling through town on a summer night.
The menu is rather focused on a reduced number of items but the flavor and composition was amazing. They only offered one kind of desert that evening but fixed to reflect my allergies just fine.
Delicious all around. Nice service and a great choice of southern food and beer.
Try it with an open mind :) and maybe sit outside..

This is not the place if you like to have an extensive menu. I understand that it's called Five because they basically have five entree choices. We started with the Uptown Chicken app; delicious! That was a lot for two of us, so we split the Gulf Coast platter. The waiter was kind enough to split the dish onto two plates and there was a lot of food!

Absolutely Amazing food, lovely atmosphere, and excellent service.

Food is always good. Service has its moments, but it's normally alright.

Very torn because FIVE was one of the first good restaurant in Tuscaloosa and for a while it was the best restaurant in Tuscaloosa, but not anymore. The food is still great, but the restaurant service has become unbearable. The restaurant is always busy but waiting 3 hours to be served food at a place with only five entrees is absurd. The waitress assured me that my order hadn't been forgotten even though clearly it had, and the weak attempt to smooth things over by offering a free order of beignets (because someone ordered them and didn't want them) did not help at all. Also if this was the only time service was poor I wouldn't complain. If you're looking for good food look no further as long as you can stand the long wait times poor service.

I love FIVE!! It is so good I don't think I have ever gotten bad food here! The drinks are good the food is good the stuff in there is awesome to look at the workers are nice its an all around 100 for me! I love it! & I love they don't take reservation!! Might be the only one but I love that about them!

Really neat inside. Lots to look at. I loved all of the chandeliers. I visited during jazz brunch on a Sunday and overall had a pretty good experience. Like others have said it is a very limited menu. 5 (sticking with a theme eh?) entree options but I feel like there should be something for everyone. My breakfast burger was $14 which I felt was a tad steep and it took a little longer to come out (close to a half hour from ordering to it making it to my table) but it did taste pretty good.

Coffee is delicious, service was alright. I got the chicken and waffles, but they sat under the warmer for so long that both the fried chicken and waffles were really soggy and unappetizing. Dissapointed in the food quality given the price ($17)
