I didn’t know about this place until a friend invited me out. Everything was great. Owner came by our table and made sure everything was great. Server was sweet and patient with us. Drinks were worth the price. 10/10 recommend.

Probably the best American restaurant in Tuscaloosa. The Cajun chicken pasta was phenomenal and the garlic bread that accompanied it was on the same level, grilled garlic bread is something I now need in my everyday life. I got the grilled asparagus as my side and I honestly don't think there is any way for it to be better or improved upon. I cannot wait to try the drinks and desserts. Not only will I be back but I will be back for any occasion I can rationalize even if the occasion is simply "because I want to".

The catfish was delicious and plentiful. I really liked the batter they used. Fries were great. Asparagus was a little underwhelming, but it's asparagus, what do you expect? I look forward to going back and trying some of their other dishes.

We thoroughly enjoyed it! It was such a nice atmosphere, but with a come as u r vibe. Such a refreshing change & we hope that it will be around for many years as we will be glad to walk across from the truckstop for this food anytime!

Waitress didn't bring my lemon or sweetener with my tea. Had to wait almost 10 minutes to get her attention. Food. Waitress brought the wrong dressing for my Husband's Club Salad! I got the Smothered Steak that was also supposed to be Bacon Wrapped...NO BACON. I didn't send it back for that because the rest was deliciously flavored. This used to be a Ruby Tuesday Restaurant..they haven't even change the signage that can be seen from the Interstate!

My wife had the shrimp pasta with its pretty good. The asparagus was tender and nicely seasoned. I had the smoked chicken with h Alabama white sauce. The cocked breast was cooked perfectly, it was tender and juicy.i, too had the asparagus and I loved it. The white cheddar Mac and cheese was underwhelming. It was dry and under seasoned. Overall this was a surprise find. Thanks to the night clerk the the hotel across the street for the recommendation.

I had dinner there. The owner opened a little early for us, which was nice to be the first ones there. The service was prompt and attentive. It was a nice chill vibe and we watched a game while there. The bran muffins were a nice and filling appetizer, along with the fried pickles which were delicious. I ordered the fried catfish, squash casserole (perfection), and asparagus. Everything was seasoned well. The blackberry lemon drop lived up to the hype with being tasty but not too sweet. I also tried their garlic pepper wings, which were ok. The food portions were just right and everything was served hot. I will definitely be back!

We have been wanting to try 20/59 since they opened, and tonight we finally got the chance. My Jack and Coke was perfect, the waiter's recommendation for me, the Shrimp Dinner, was amazing. My husband's New York strip was so perfect that I only let him eat half and I ate the rest. Seriously the best steak in Tuscaloosa. The Mac and Cheese with sausage was the best I've had. I got the peach cobbler to go, but I'm not sure it will last the car ride because it looks delicious. 100% recommend. Not a single complaint.
