Tried Mr. G's for the first time and got the Wednesday special (lasagna, bread, sub side salad for extra bread). The lasagna itself didn't have much sauce, but there was plenty of sauce around it that it didn't make a difference either way and there was enough left over for the bread! The cheese made it a little hard to cut into, but overall it was delicious, and even better with their complimentary parmesan packets! They also provided red pepper flakes but I didn't use them. read more

Mr G's Restaurant - Lasagna, Order of Garlic Bread - Pizza Near Me - Northport, Alabama

After all of these years, I still love coming here for their pizza and pastas. Yes, I know that there are other places around the area that are newer and have flashier interior and menu. Mr. G's just has a little something that some of the other places don't. They're always super friendly and I always get a kick out of the chit chat that comes up around there. The pizzas are always good and we love their baked ziti with meat sauce. My husband always has to get an order of their spaghetti with meat sauce whenever we're there. It's just a well worn and much loved place in the community that I truly believe is a staple. read more

I used to lobe this place but last few times it has been horrible. Bread has changed. It is nit good. Spaghetti was really bad. Something happened here for the bad. Service was good. Place looks old. Needs remodeling. read more

Food was good, service is good, special request, not so good. Asked to have a couple of items cooked a little longer (when we placed the order) ,not done, or even attempted. Just a heads up, they also charge for credit cards read more

It's ok. Not like it was 20 years ago but maybe my taste has changed. The food is still good.

Great family place. Good prices and good food. We had the mufalatta, chicken Alfredo and the kids spaghetti. read more

See all

The food is ok. The service is not bad. Drinks don't have refills. It is a place to eat, but nothing to write home about.

Gross Is there a negative button for reviews?? This food tasted like it came from a frozen dinner. The staff was incredibly rude. Very very rude. I will never ever come here again. Overpriced is an understatement read more

My first time visiting this restaurant today, I have heard good and not so good things about it but I love Italian food. I was on my lunch break and decided to go for the spaghetti "special " which is on Mondays. It was horrible! No seasoning, very bland and I wasted my money. It came with a salad and bread and the salad couldn't be more boring than the spaghetti. The cashier was very friendly and I asked her which is best, the spaghetti or lasagna? She said I don't like either , so that was not helpful!! Atmosphere was nice but I wasted my money and lunch on this disappointing meal. I was told the drink was included but after my total it apparently wasn't. read more

Cold fries dry club sandwich 1/2 chicken wings didn't have meat on the bones. Won't be back

Trying to eat and enjoy time with my 81 year old mother. Table right behind us had an employee rolling silver ware and 3 more talking and they got louder & louder so I had my finger to my ear turned around and said I can not hear. Was then talked about, cussed at and harassed during the entire meal. As we're leaving we said nothing but thanked the lady that took our order and brought our food. One of the ladies made a comment as we walked by which upset me mom. Both had words and threats. all 3 employees started yelling and getting in my moms face. I finally got her out and to the car with them following and yelling vulgar words to us. Not sure who hired these employees but they are rude and disrespectful. Should not have been if the dining area to start with and should have not kept messing with us. I hope there is video that can be reviewed. Yes there were other customers there. read more

Absurdly expensive for what you get. Italian food straight from a school cafeteria. $2.50 for a $1.39 Mcdonald's soft drink Fair pizza but nothing special The kind of place little league teams go when they lose. read more

This was the first time here since there menu change.. And LAST! I ordered the 12 piece wings and fries. After 1 fry, asked for some fresh hot fries... The wings were even worse,and they had that twang of old under cooked chicken,the first time I EVER left wings on a plate. Our company had chicken with white sauce,there was a black hair in the white sauce..disgusting! I only gave it 1 star because my son liked his spaghetti..hmm? read more

Mr G's Restaurant - They "look" awesome. - Pizza Near Me - Northport, Alabama

I'd give this place 0 stars if I could, we'll tonight I decided to order Mr G's over the phone. Ordered a Philly cheese steak add chicken, with fries. I then get to Mr G's pick up my order, the receipt says add chicken so I figured my order was correct. I get home about 15 minutes away. Open my food and take a bite, and there's no chicken. So I call in and an older lady picks up. She works at the front counter, most likely a server. She answers and tells me to bring back my food so they can add chicken to my sub. I tell her no, she then continues to argue with me saying they won't make another sandwich, I have to bring mine back. Then finally says okay I will make it, after me saying this will be the last time I eat here. I get there they say they didn't charge me for my chicken so they make me pay the up charge. I did then another woman brings me a bag of chicken and say here you go. The young lady most likely the owners daughter was sitting behind in the kitchen laughing peaking through the window. I must say being familiar with the restaurant business myself this is no way a restaurant should operate. But hey you can't fix ignorance. I do not recommend this place at all. They're food is very dry and they don't have any kind of manners behind the counter. I think the young lady should be fired and also the older lady should be fired as well. Her being a little older, you'd think she would of handled the situation a little better. Best part is they admitted it was there fault, and still proceeded to give me a bag of chicken, rather than remaking my chicken Philly cheese steak. This is why you work at a restaurant, should of stayed in school. The best part is the little ginger buss boy, behind the counter was trying to fight me, because the owners daughter started to cry. Because I told her she was to young to be a manager. Started to lean over the counter as if he was gonna hit mebut did not want to step outside, proceeded to yell in the restaurant. I must say what a great family that is over there. You guys will not last long with that kind of staff read more

Mr G's Restaurant - Do not know how to take an order correctly - Pizza Near Me - Northport, Alabama

The impact this place had 10 years ago still lingers today, as there are still people coming in. However, nothing there is the same as it was. Went in for the first time in over a decade a couple days ago. Ordered chicken parm and a mini pizza. The chicken in the chicken parm was literally a frozen Tyson chicken patty. Red sauce was out of a damn can. And as many have mentioned, I think they microwave and reheat their pastas. Pizza was burnt on the bottom, absolutely disgusting. Only good thing was the sweet tea, and that's from a third party vendor. Felt absolutely horrible after eating. Will never go back again for as long as I live here. read more

Oldie but hoodie applies here! Over the years they haven't changed any and I love it. The food is still as good as it was 30 years ago. Place doesn't look like much, but IT IS! read more

First time at Mr. G's, and likely the only visit. My wife ordered the "special", and said it wasn't. Just not good. I ordered a pizza, and it was barely lukewarm. At a pizza place I assume the pizza goes from the oven to the customer , this one took the long way. I asked the server to have it heated, that I expected it to be hot. A few minutes later someone came out, the pizza guy in the kitchen said the pizza would be burnt if he heated it up. I said I wanted a hot and unburnt pizza. And to give me a refund if that couldn't be done. I got neither a refund or a hot pizza; just the same pizza slightly warmer. This place is old and really looks it. Not coming back. read more

This was the worse restaurant experience I've encountered since being in AL. My family waited an hr for our food and when it finally came out everything was cold besides the pizza. Plus the waiter said the wait was because they gave our pizza to another table and she asked if we'd be ok with just eating their cheese pizza. I replied no my kids wanted pepperoni plus you charged us extra for it. When I asked the manager what she can do about it she said you can bring it up and we'll warm it up for you. Yeah needless to say I wasn't happy with that so we got a refund and left. I should also state she never actually refunded my card is been 4 days now. I WILL NEVER RETURN I don't recommend this place to anyone. read more

Would love this place BUT they have installed insanely harsh glaring bluish light bulbs. Felt like we were having dinner in a Walmart parking lot or a parking garage. Horrible ambiance in this light. read more

There were mixed reviews of the food at our table. Two of us got the chicken parmesan - my husband liked it, I thought it was barely edible. The chicken was overdone with cheese on top that was under the broiler too long. There was more sauce than pasta. My son got a sandwich and liked it. The meals were fairly inexpensive so that was a plus. read more

I have gone here many times as I live in the area and my family likes it. A few years ago, it was really good. It's honestly kind of a hit or miss with food and service now. Most of the time, the food is good but I have bitten into a cold meatball more than once. I have also had burnt sauce. I've had some negative experiences with the staff. One time I got yelled at by a cashier while trying to get a pickup order. One of my family members also got told off for ordering fried fish, which was the special that day. All things considered, most of the staff is nice but the few that are not great kind of ruin the atmosphere. Due to this, I give it two stars. read more

Ordered food online for pickup and it was super easy and ready as soon as we got there. Staff was really kind and order was hot! Portion sizes were great for the price and both the pepperoni calzone and ravioli were delicious. read more

The positive is the flavor of the red sauces are excellent and the lasagna and spaghetti is delicious!! But, there is more negative here. This place is not a nice atmosphere and portions are too small with prices higher than ever. The kids alfredo meal came with no bread or anything for $7 and the meal was cold. I ordered bread a la cart to go with it and then also had to pay extra for a cup of dipping marinara. I understand it's a business and times are hard but give us a reason to want to drop a half a days worth of income for a family meal there and don't be skimpy on portions please. It would also make more sense if the place was nicer (especially the bathrooms). Why choose this place when Olive Garden is down the road with unlimited bread and salad, big portions and clean bathrooms and environment? It just doesn't make good sense to me so I couldn't give a good review.I hope improvements are made and these guys start getting better reviews because I see that I am not the only one that rates low. I have to be honest for people looking for a good place to spend their hard earned money. All in all, I wanted Mr. G's to be great because of the authentic Italian flavors in the sauce but with all things considered it missed the mark. read more

Mr G's Restaurant - Lasagna and kids Fettuccini Alfredo - Pizza Near Me - Northport, Alabama

terrible service, ordered food online and waited for an hour for our food to come!! never again.

I made my last visit to this restaurant today... my family and I have visited this place many times over the years and recently the food has been average. Today was our fist visit since they started charging a full soft drink price for water. Really a cup of water cost $1.89 same price as a soft drink? My son placed a to go of lasagna one of Mr. G's signature items and 25 minutes later he was walking out the door with his food. Waiting 25 minutes is excessive to say the least. Several minutes later another customer walks to the counter and places her order. She also ordered take out and left the building 10 minutes earlier than we did. With the excessive wait time, over priced styrofoam cup, the poor Yelp ratings and average food at best I'm officially done here. read more

Some menu items are better than the others but could be my preference. Employees are rarely friendly but food is served hot so that's important. To go orders never seem to have enough sauce I.e spaghetti but they are glad to sell an extra cup. read more

The service was good and the place is old but not a terrible atmosphere. However, the food is just mediocre at best it all seemed to be frozen prepackaged food. The spaghetti and also the pizza seemed that way and I think your typical Papa Johns or other franchises are better by far. The prices are very reasonable and the cheese bread my wife said was great. I would never go back just because to many far better options but it was not the worst I have had. My advice would be go elsewhere there are definitely better options for pasta and pizza! read more

I've never been here before - was a bit worried based on the existing reviews - however, it was absolutely amazing! The food was great (I got a pizza and my friend got chicken Alfredo) - generous portions, fast, and just plain delicious. Highly recommend! read more

Called in an order for pick up. Should have checked it before leaving but just asked if everything was there. Got home and realized I was missing my wife's order. Immediately called and was out on hold. I got in the car and started driving back up there. I live exactly 10 min and 22 seconds away. Walked right up to the lady next to the phone and she had completely forgotten I was on hold. She picked up the phone and I said hello. She couldn't believe that I was missing anything. I have now been waiting another ten minutes for a simple chicken Alfredo. There are only five tables eating and they are on a 35-45 min wait for food. Was much better back in the day. Go across the street to Marcos for pizza. Bama bbq for barbecue. Literally anywhere else for food. read more

My food was very bland and had NO FLAVOR. I order the chicken Alfredo, cheese fries, calzone and spaghetti, and Oreo cream pie. The cheese fries were so hard and over cooked that you could barely separate them. The only thing that was decent was the Oreo cream pie which was probably store bought smh... waste of $54.00 read more

I used to love Mr. G's, but I would say over the last 3-4 times we've been there it has been absolute CRAP. For instance, tonight I had a pick up order for my family. We waited more than 30 minutes in the line. Once I finally get to pick up my order and get home...it's wrong. Soggy sandwich with everything else being cold from sitting out for so long. The grilled cheese is burnt to a crisp, (with no cheese) there are none of the sauces we ordered (aka the only thing that makes this food even remotely edible) and obviously no one to answer the phone to pick them up. Oh and the show was nice too. Waiting for more than 30 minutes was only made worse by witnessing staff bicker back and forth not only with themselves, but with other customers. Overall 0/10. Hard pass from now on. read more

Came into town to eat with a old buddy. Decided to go to Mr G's. He hadn't eaten there in a while and I hadn't in a few years. Entered the restaurant and basically the same after the years, same laid back establishment. While ordering he asked for water and was told he would have to pay full price for a styrofoam cup which was $2.40 for water and ice or buy a bottle of bottled water which I'm sure was probably nestle or deer park, which ever one is cheaper at Sam's. He paid for a regular drink regardless. After ordering he used his card in the machine not paying attention to a little sign under it that said 4% charge of order price with what ever card used. So we went from months ago businesses begging folks to use debit versus cash because of coin shortage to a charge of 4% tack on. Let's do the math so if they had a ATM machine I could get $300 for a few of $1.50 to $3.00 to get that. So if we purchased $75 the fee would be the same for the ATM withdrawal. So instead of supporting your customers your milking the cow. Good thing for hometown customers. read more

This place had great food and service- back in the day. Lately? No. After a long time of not patronizing Mr. G...I was sure the lasagna special wouldn't disappoint. Wrong! Yikes! No flavor. Badly made. The pasta stacked up. The cheese and meat sauce on top. In better days, the meat sauce was made with Italian sausage. This was lacking all flavor. Not even salt or garlic. Even the bread and croutons were tasteless. If this was due to new staff, whom ever hired the cooks bought a lie. Save your time and money...buy the frozen version from the grocery. read more

The food is decent, but they tried to charge me $2.17 for a single cup of ice while I waited for a to-go order. Not ok. I don't mind paying for your little cup, but $2.17 is ridiculous. Left a bad taste in my mouth. read more

i waited close to an hour for a chicken sandwich but they gave me my money back which was nice. it was also lowkey the best chicken sandwich i've ever had but i don't have very high standards so that probably isn't saying much. overall terrible experience but great chicken sandwich so read more

Mr G's Restaurant - me with my order number bc i was number 1 :) - Pizza Near Me - Northport, Alabama

Longtime, family favorite as a Tuscaloosa resident. My personal go-to is the hot, roast beef sandwich.

Tried this place maybe 3-4 years ago and it was ok. I think I just didn't quite find "my dish." This time I got the chicken Alfredo and a cup of southern sweet tea and honestly had to force myself to stop before I ate it all (which was a lot). Service was super fast (less than 5min after ordering) and cashiers were lovely. I'm definitely going to add this place to my list of good spots to frequent on this side of the river. read more

Well after an hour wait...we still have NO food!! Many Individuals arriving after us have received food so it remains to be seen if we receive food, how good it is or if it is cold. When inquiring about our food the response "we are waiting on chicken fingers." At this point I think we should just ask for a refund and cut our losses. Very unprofessional kitchens staff. Update: our food was cold when it finally arrived, over an hour later. This was a one time experience and our family will not be revisiting. read more

We love to eat here for lunch. However, the service is horrible. My husband ordered wings. They asked if he wanted ranch or blue cheese. He said just a side of hot sauce in that place. When we received the order, the wings had nothing and there was sauce on the side. Another time, he ordered the same thing, this time, there wasn't extra hot sauce. He asked 3 people for it and never got any. The last time we went, we ordered a pizza and a side of fries, and a sandwich that came with fries. They forgot the extra fries. The waitress was rude and didn't act nice about it at all. Food is decent, but overpriced. read more

The food is good. Great crushed ice. Loaf of bread is good and so is the ranch dressing. All important things obviously
