Seriously the food here is VERY good! I've eaten here several times and keep going back for the chicken salad and fruit. Mmmmmmmmmm!!! Not the restaurant to go to if you're in a big hurry, or in a really bad mood, or just don't like people! It's wall to wall people and quite loud with all the chatter taking place in one giant room. Still I highly recommend it for those days that you can linger a little, are just lovin' life, and want to share a great eating experience with lots of other people! Get the chicken salad! I've tried to re-create it at home...and can get close. Mine is okay, but FIG's is GREAT! Keep up the good work, y'all!

Everything I've ever eaten at Fig is wonderful. The chicken salad is the best in town and be sure to ask for the peanut butter cake to be warmed. The atmosphere is relaxed and the servers are attentive. Be sure to visit the ladies room, love the decor. Only criticism is that it's no longer open for dinner.

The best grouper sandwich anywhere!

This restaurant is great. I noticed their health dept rating was 100.
I had the grilled grouper sandwich with a lemon, caper sauce. It was wonderful!
My husband had the special, shrimp and grits. He loved them. The daily specials come with desserts that are "homemade" We got an extra piece of Red Velvet cake to take home. I really do like this restaurant a lot. I can't wait till Saturday when they have brunch. They have the best stone ground grits I have ever tasted.

Fresh food with a flair - not your typical T-Town dining experience

We ate on a Sunday before the crowd started arriving for lunch. I had the daily special, buttermilk-baked chicken with rice, green beans, cheese biscuits and the best lemon torte with REAL whipped cream and berries that I have ever had. My husband had a grouper sandwich which he also loved. Our server was extremely courteous and we think that this is one of our new favorite places. And it was spotless (even the restrooms)which is a huge plus. In looking at the other reviews, I saw the word "bland" but our experience was anything but.

We eat here about once a week. The daily specials are wonderful! The homemade desserts are to die for. I love the greek chicken pizza. The saint john's shrimp salad is delicious. When you choose a side item, don't miss the baked potato salad. Lunch time is pretty crowed. Dinner is the perfect time to go and enjoy this dining experience. It's a change of pace in Tuscaloosa restaraunts.

I average eating here about twice a week. The customer service jumps out at you right away. It is almost as if you are in their house as a guest. The manager is actively seeing to the guest needs. I have never seen a place so clean and orderly . The atmosphere in the restaurant is what makes the difference people are having fun at work. It was all around a very pleasant experience.

I have eaten at Fig probably 30 times considering I worked next door. The food is above average, yet way overpriced. For instance $7-$9 for a salad. Also, the wait is extremely long, no matter how busy the establishment. Lastly, I have been told to wait 15-20 minutes to pick up to go salads only to find them sitting there with wilted warm lettuce because the quote times were way off. I hope the restaurant improves with time because cuteness and a good atmosphere only get you so far.

Four of us went to FIG for dinner. We each ordered something different.
I had the FIG sandwich, which was filet mignon on rolls with fig perserves. It was delicious. Joy had Chicken pesto panini. It was wonderful! That came with baked potato salad which was the best I've ever had. Dessert was peanut butter cake. They make this everyday, and everyday sell out. The goat cheese salad with grilled chicken is to die for. Fig is my new favorite place to eat.

I had several dishes from this place as part of a catered dinner. Unfortunately, every one was bland and uninteresting. I hope they rethink the food because the idea is good and the place is cute.

I’d seen a building labeled F i G driving into Northport on McFarland, but I had no idea what services or goods the establishment provided until I was browsing the internet and questioning friends for some original cuisine on one hungry Friday night. Tables with roses were the highlight of the decor. They could probably use some more walls since the place as the feel of an airline hanger. The billowy ceiling cuts down on this feel if you take note of it, but if you don’t have your eyes open you’ll miss it. If you’re into one big open room as a restaurant, then this will be a triumph for you. The color of the walls was really of no consequence to me. The clientele was sparse and therefore a plus as I didn't have to deal with a lot of the undesirable restaurant patrons that Tuscaloosa usually has to offer. The selection of food was phenomenal, not in that it was extremely wide, but in that it was comprised of quality dishes that aren't customary to the type of restaurant or price range. This style of this pseudo-deli is comparable to the Crimson Cafe, yet the delivery and content blow the C.C. out of its bland cesspool. The server was not extremely knowledgeable with the menu but was nothing but pleasant and attentive. I started with the Black Bear Chili which was above satisfactory. My company had ordered one of the exciting teas that, while not my cup of tea, was appreciable in presentation and rarity. She seemed to enjoy even more, that Salmon Salad. I made a personal error by selecting the Crab Quesadilla, which was too fishy for my tastes. However a genuine seafood lover will identify with this dish immensely. The Citric Caesar Salad dressing was the highlight of my gustarian experience. And for desert, it was the deep friend Cheescake Xango, because how can you not eat deep fried cheesecake and be American? There extensive take home menu seems to be separate from their dine-in menu. My only questions for this establishment is who do I thank for the most fantastic dinner music I’ve ever heard in a restaurant. Rod Stewart’s crooning and a wide selection of varied tempo big band hits makes any food taste better.
