DePalma’s Italian Café

“You can get classic meals that are consistent, but they also give you the opportunity to customize your dishes in different ways every time you go.

It’s absolutely amazing – almost a religious experience. Also, everyone is always happy when they are at The Avenue,” said Lauren Talley, a junior majoring in nutrition.

Chuck’s Fish

Full Moon Bar-B-Que

“Full Moon is my favorite spot in Tuscaloosa for some real Southern barbecue. It’s a fun place to eat because there is so much school pride, and I never feel rushed out. My go-to meal is the pulled pork sandwich and a Diet Coke,” said Kat Norton, a junior majoring in 
criminal justice.

Dreamland Bar-B-Que

“The original Dreamland is my favorite because of its unique atmosphere. I love the hole-in-the-wall, dimly-lit, intimate feel. I have never been disappointed,” said Seth Chauhan, a junior majoring
