Alabama Restaurants

The state of Alabama has celebrities come through a lot and sometimes people don't even notice.

Waffle House has more than 2,100 restaurants in 25 states, with typical annual revenues exceeding $1.3 billion.

These restaurants definitely failed their health inspections. Here's all the info on how bad things got.

A new restaurant is in the works at the same site of Cottondale's historic Southland Restaurant after its doors closed for the final time in April.

As a fan of our fine restaurants, the one thing that truly disturbs me is a "roach infestation" or a "rodent infestation" for that matter. I am the one that is contacted every couple of months with new information directly from the Alabama Department of Public Health. This time, in addition to looking at the places with a roach problem, we will ALSO highlight some of the places in West Alabama with the BEST and HIGHEST health scores.

Several comments on social media also mentioned the salad bar with the famous "block of cheese" that you could grab a slice from. A sign posted on the Southland door hints at a possible return one day down the road, but no firm date was given.

A Tuscaloosa entrepreneur has one foot in the past and one in the future as he prepares to open a new deli across McFarland Boulevard from his already successful restaurant.

In their safest investment since Nick Saban's last contract extension, the University of Alabama is leasing land in the heart of Tuscaloosa to build a new Chick-fil-A.

I can not handle a roach at my favorite eating establishment in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. This breaks my heart. One of my absolute FAVORITE restaurants was CLOSED DOWN recently because of a "roach infestation" according to the Alabama Department of Public Health.

We love our local businesses, especially our local eateries. Recently, I wrote a story on local restaurants (as well as others across Alabama) and the latest scores from the Health Department. Many restaurants were mentioned, but The Blue Plate in Northport got the most attention.
