"Over the bridge in Northport might be the cheapest meal you’ll get while in Tuscaloosa. Since the 1940s, City Cafe has been serving low-cost, hearty meals to working-class locals and college kids. The usually packed restaurant serves around 1,000 meals during lunchtime. Each day of the week corresponds to a different section on the menu, allowing regulars to switch it up constantly. With old UA sports posters covering the wooden walls and a large mural by the counter, City Cafe’s decor has stood the test of time alongside the prices. Don’t forget to order the fruit cobbler as one of your “vegetables” to finish off your meal." - Jen Bowman
