Nestled in a charming locale, this well-established restaurant offers an inviting atmosphere and a taste of home-cooked Southern cuisine. Diners rave about the fantastic breakfast, featuring standout dishes like buttery biscuits, exceptional grits, and savory country ham. While the friendly service enhances the experience, challenges such as cramped seating and elusive parking can detract from the overall enjoyment. Guests appreciate the rich history adorning the walls and encourage first-timers to embrace this hidden gem. Some may find prices slightly high, but the quality of the food and the warm ambiance make it a worthy destination for locals and visitors alike.

The first time we're here today. great food! great service! friendly staff! my only complicity would be that I felt the prices were a bit high. however, good quality comes at a price. home cogen were! will definitely be back to try some other menu items!

An institution in Tuscaloosa! Enjoy fresh, flavorful and souther style breakfast. Fluffy biscuits and rich ham!

First time in Alabama first time here. The Wayside had a rustic, homey feeling. The coffee was good, service outstanding, biscuits phenomenal. If you prefer your scrambled eggs cooked all the way through say so up front. Mine were under done. Grits were the best I ever had, but I have only had the 3 times so far. We had the plantation sausage. My fiance loved it, and I not so much. I'm from Wisconsin so they reminded me of brats, but with more flavor. Very filling and satisfying experience. Now, on to Muscle Shoals!

Went the Waysider for my first time. My Brother lives in Tuscaloosa and has been going there for years. He knows the owners, family and servers there. He hadn't been there in a couple of years due to health issues. Everyone remembered him and were soglad to see him. He introduced me to everyone. We had the best breakfast that morning. He had pancakes and sausage. I hadcountry ham, red eye gravy, biscuits, eggs and grits. Oh my goodness it was delicious! We told them we were coming back laterfor lunch, and we did. It was SO awesome! Best fried pork chops and creamed corn ever. So worth it. I will be back. Thank youladies.

Get there early! It?s great! Haven?t been there in years. Biscuits, light and fluffy! Eggs perfectly cooked. The grits definitely a southern delicacy. The wife got the short stack and couldn?t finish it! Great food. Great service. Interestingconversation between guests. Definitely a family owned operation. 15 tables, probably seats less than 50. So remember.. getthere as early as you can! It?s worth it.
