We ordered an appetizer. Yummy! Goat cheese and bread. I ordered the special which was a salmon dish. One of the best dinners I have ever had! My spouse ordered the wagyu. He was not as impressed with his dinner. He didn't eat most of the beef and brought it home to our dog. The dog loved it. An observation.. There were many tables of just women dining in both larger groups and in twos. Both in the bar and dining area. That is a good sign. Women, IMO tend to frequent the restaurants that serve fresher foods.

The Quad deviled eggs were an interesting concept. Can't say I'd recommend them. The Signature 205 Dip was not good. It's made with 4 cheeses, but the cream cheese over powers the entire dish. The Stephy cocktail may not be something everyone likes, but I really enjoyed it. Dr. Pepper with bourbon sounds odd, but I loved it. Hopefully you made it this far. The Autumn Ember Dip was fantastic. It was by far the best item we had. If you don't order anything else from the menu, you have to get the dip!! You can't go wrong.

The server we had was pleasant and apologetic, but the wait time for our food (party of 6, but nothing too intricately ordered) was borderline unacceptable. We were on a time constraint due to a concert that night, and very nearly had to leave when half of our party hadn't even received our food yet. I had the "Elevated Burger", which was pretty good but nothing special. I had ordered onion rings as my side, and when my dish was finally served I had gotten fries instead- but again, too little time to raise a fuss. We all enjoyed our dinner, but the wait ate up any goodwill we had. The view, however, is fantastic especially as the sun begins to set. Maybe when I have more time to kill, I'll give 205 another shot but until I see an improvement in service it will not be a high priority.

My meal came with a HUGE butterfly crisp chicken breast over cheesy pasta and a side salad. The chicken had a perfect crunch and salted! The penne was very creamy and smooth.

Gets a little busy but we were able to sit with a party of 7 at dinner time on Friday without wait. Will be going back!

(Not sure why since they had multiple pre-reserved large groups) I ordered a bowl of chili, southwest rolls and a beer off their list. 20' later was told the beer was not available, when the chili showed up, it was lukewarm and barely covered the bottom of the bowl. Would not have been a cup most other places. Egg rolls were fine. Rest of our tables order burgers and wings. Food came out 1 person at a time like 15' apart so you couldn't wait for everyone to eat together. Almost 45' in and half the people have their food. Beers take forever. Been a year since i have been back to Tuscaloosa and mugshots - used to live here and came here a lot. Very disappointing how it has declined. Will definitely not book another event here.

If you've never had meat (or VEGGIES!) cooked on a BGE, it will change your life. This fact alone will bring me back to try other things. Before I get into the meal, my only real complaint was that they only had a soda machine and tea. I had brought my mother along, and she already had lunch and wanted just to sit and chat. As it was a very cold day she was gonna order a coffee and they don't offer anything hot! It's definitely an opportunity to expand here even if it was just so simple as putting a Keurig machine in the back. I had the Buffalo Chicken Wrap. It is served with grilled chicken in a grilled wrap and cheddar cheese. If there was a buffalo sauce, I didn't taste any. I was a little disappointed in the wrap. The flavor didn't really stand out as being cooked on the Big Green Egg. The cheese wasn't really melted, which can be a common problem with shredded cheddar cheese, but it also didn't really have the buffalo flavor that I was looking for in a buffalo chicken wrap (maybe it was a Toledo Ohio wrap I don't know just not spicy. ) It served with a side of ranch which I juiced up with some Cholula and that helped. I i'm not knocking the quality of the food because it was good. It just didn't live up to the expectations I had in my head based on the menu description. It also came with a side, which I chose the broccoli salad. This was nicely done with bacon, I believe some quinoa and the broccoli was chopped up nicely so you didn't have huge chunks. Also, it wasn't overly sauced so that would make it runny. Overall I give the property four out five stars. Also, the flavor of the whole meal was fine. Good size portion and good value for your money.

This was perfectly fine with us, we just got to the restaurant earlier than originally planned since dinner wait times for a Saturday here can range from 20-45 minutes. Do not let this deter you though, the food is worth it. Luckily for us, we only waited about 15 minutes for a table for 4. Once seated, our waitress soon followed with menus and a pitcher of water. She was quite lovely and attentive. To start, we ordered their chips and salsa (although I do highly recommend the street corn if you are feeling something different). The salsa is great and tasted fresh! The chips had a nice texture, but definitely needed the salt we added to the bowl. It did not take long for any of our meals to come out once we ordered. I personally got the carnitas tostadas, which were amazing. I could only eat one cause they were piled high with toppings (and I ate too many chips before). The pork had great flavor and paired well with the other toppings. Warning though, the black beans here are great, but on the spicier side! This caught one of us by surprise at the table. Overall it was a great evening, and we were in and out quickly from the meal. Just be prepared to wait a little for dinner, and plan ahead for parking! And watch out for those beans!
