“ Evangeline's is definitely one of my top 3 favorite restaurants in Tuscaloosa. I've only been there twice, but I'm already planning my next visit. You have to make sure to get a reservation with Elo, she's an exceptional server! She was accommodating to my group and me. We had such a great time that we ended up staying for like 3 hours. We started with drinks and then enjoyed our delicious entrees. The drinks were spot on and the food was absolutely decadent! I got so caught up in the moment that I forgot to get pictures of myself and my best girlfriend, and only took pictures of the food, drinks and our hubbies. That’s when you know the food was good! We love that the atmosphere at Evangeline's was intimate and not too crowded. It's nice to be able to have a conversation without yelling. Elo and the managers checked on us and made sure everything was perfect. The staff really knows how to make you feel taken care of. I can’t wait to go back and have another amazing dining experience there! ”

“ Simply the best in Tuscaloosa, and amongst the best I’ve ever had. To begin, my boyfriend had a cocktail, the winter mule. The alcohol was generous and all ingredients even in the drink were noticeably high quality. The ginger beer tasted amazing. I had an Argentinian Malbec that blew my mind. Appetizer: soup du jour - cup of zucchini and orzo. DI-VINE. Pork and greens, perfection. So crisp, flavorful, and an amazing portion. Main course: I got the shrimp and grits, and I actually had to take the bulk of it home because the app portions were so impressive. The sauce was drinkable it was so delicious, I get nervous ordering shrimp while out to eat because many places overcook it way too harshly. NOT Evangeline’s. It was tasty and fresh. My boyfriend got the catfish and loved it, too!!!! We saved room for dessert which we didn’t regret - the key lime pie was great (although he said it was more of a sweet treat, not tart, if that’s what you’re into). I had the chocolate peanut butter cake and took the rest of it home to finish with another glass of red. A very rare and special indulgence this evening was. I knew I had to visit Evangeline’s. David’s attention to detail is unrivaled. 10/10. ”
“ We had dinner there last night. I made reservations and we got there a few minutes late. We sat for about 30 minutes before someone came and took our drink order. Once our waitress knew we were her table the service went from 0-100. We had delicious cocktails, whiskey sour and lemon drop and salads for our appetizers. We both had the fillets for dinner. The food was cooked perfectly!!!! I didn’t have any room for dessert but my hubby had a yummy caramel ice cream. When the bill came the Hostess came to the table and let us know they were taking our entrees off the bill. We were in shock but so very grateful. We paid the bill and left the waitress a very nice tip. I can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience and this great restaurant. We can’t wait to come back and eat there again.Thank you so much for a wonderful evening. Love the Couple from NY ”
