I didn't have to worry about anything. She pieced everything together when I didn't know what to do and she supported every idea I had. Nika and Deanna were comfortable to work with and the sweetest women!! I want to have all my parties here now!

We started with oysters. The mignonette was delicious and the oysters were fresh and tasty. Farm salad was enough for 3 or 4 people. The snapper entree's were amazing. Perfectly cooked and served witch delicious local vegetables! The seared tuna was an equally delicious. Wine & beer selection was good. Chocolate mousse dessert was really good as well. I highly recommend The River! We definitely want to return as the menu changes with seasons and locally sourced ingredients!

Second trip to River Restaurant starts off on a bad note. We arrived at 10:35 a.m. and the inside…read moredining room was only about half full with several empty tables, and the outdoor seating area, which we specifically requested, also had open tables. Still, we were told there would be a 15-20 minute wait. We waited about 35 minutes before seating. Make it make sense. That said, the restaurant sits right along the Black Warrior River, which offers a really pleasant view, especially from the patio. On a cool spring day like today, it's hard to beat outdoor seating here. Tuscaloosa is buzzing with football fans for the annual A-Day spring game, which adds to the energy around town. My better half ordered the shrimp and grits, and I went with the steak fajita bowl, minus the sunny-side-up egg. Even at my age, I can't do the runny yolk situation, I always ask for my eggs over hard. With that change, I'll say the fajita bowl jumped up to one of my top breakfast/brunch go-to dishes in town. Yes, I know it's technically brunch, but it was before 11 a.m., so I'm calling it breakfast. The shrimp and grits were solid, though the tails were still on the shrimp, which meant a bit of extra peeling at the table, my wife wasn't a fan of that part, but she still finished the dish and enjoyed it overall. Only minor gripe on the food side: ice seems to be a rare commodity here, I'd love a few more cubes in the water. But overall, the food was very good, the patio seating is absolutely the way to go, and the river view is fantastic.

Visited the river market a few weekends ago and it was amazing! The market has truly grown since…read morethe last time I visited and it's so beautiful to see! I love supporting local businesses in my college town. I picked up some delicious pies from Sweet Daddy's Pies, some yummy treats from Bliss Treat Bar, and great soaps from Elephantine Mink Soap Co. as well as a lovely man selling goats milk soap - I didn't catch a business name. Such a lovely market! A must visit if you're from or visiting Tuscaloosa. They run the market on Saturdays and Tuesdays in June & July.

Ethan Gardiner played for us and his voice is amazing! We visited all the vendors and enjoyed ourselves greatly. Fresh fish, fresh veggies and baked goods - we bought all we could from four vendors. And did I mention the gluten free offerings? I saw three vendors with gluten free offerings. We brought home GF pound cake, GF chocolate chip cookies and gluten safe chicken salad. Yummy! We will definitely be back. The River Market Farmers Market is every Saturday morning (7-12) year round. Handicap accessible, grocery carts available. Bring your own bag to help carry things home.... And don't forget your furry companions. We saw several very well behaved dogs either carried or on a leash and one young lady was off to the side doing some distraction training with her chocolate lab. Anyone interested in fresh food, getting out in the fresh air and a healthy experience will be interested in visiting the River Market!

I also personally felt really uncomfortable with one of the bouncers. From my own experience, it seemed like he treated me and the girls I was with differently than others, and it honestly felt discriminatory. It was a really unsettling situation and made the whole night feel negative. The drinks are just okay, and the space itself isn't very big. Overall, there are definitely better bars on campus with better vibes, friendlier staff, and a more typical college crowd
