As suggested by the restaurant’s name, it is a central Alabama twist on the famed New Orleans Burger & Seafood Company. Digging into his Cajun roots, owner Daniel Robinson has recreated his menu to include some of the best bayou-based edibles in town.
The new menu offers everything from classic po’boys filled with shrimp or crawfish tails to deep-fried alligator bites. Along with the seafood options, the restaurant still offers the same great burgers as always. The spicy peanut burger offers an unfamiliar, but delicious twist on the classic Americana entrée. Cajun chicken sandwiches are a tender white-meat option for those in the mood for something else. Don’t forget to enjoy your sandwich with a heaping pile of piping hot curly fries.
Another draw is the massive craft beer selection. The wall behind the restaurant’s bar is filled end-to-end with craft brews hailing from every corner of the United States, along with more than a few from across international waters. Local draft beers rotate based on the week and availability, so if you like something in particular, be sure to drink up while you can. A more recent addition to the adult portion of this ride is a nifty service option aptly titled “Beerventures.”
Tuscaloosa Burger & Seafood Company’s final, and possibly biggest, amenity is their top-class dining areas. Dazzling high-definition televisions fill every square inch of wall not already occupied by sports memorabilia. Out back is an even more impressive outdoor eating area. A basketball shooting cage and cornhole boards provide active entertainment, and high-definition televisions cover every viewing angle outdoors as well. A full-service bar is built into the back wall for busy days, which makes the restaurant a wonderful venue for fundraisers, parties, socials or just large groups.
So whether you’re hungry, thirsty or just looking for a great place to watch the game, take a drive down Paul Bryant and head to Tuscaloosa Burger & Seafood Company.
