Spades Restaurant & Lounge — Local services in Tuscaloosa

Spades Restaurant & Lounge is hands down one of my favorite places to eat—no matter the time of day. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and never misses.

Brunch and Soul Food Sunday are my absolute highlights of the week. There’s nothing like going with friends, ordering a tower or two, and eating so much brunch that you leave with dinner. It’s definitely a “The Itis” type of meal—so good it’ll have you ready for a nap! On Sundays, the homemade red velvet cake is a must. Moist, rich, and only available that day, it’s the perfect sweet finish. And don’t sleep on the baked chicken—it falls right off the bone and tastes like Sunday dinner at home.

Taco Tuesday is another favorite. The birria tacos? Omg. Juicy, cheesy, and full of flavor—easily some of the best tacos in town. Pair that with the vibe inside Spades and it’s the perfect midweek pick-me-up.

And the rest of the menu? Loaded with gems. Wings, pasta, lamb chops, Philly cheesesteaks (they even come in chicken), fried catfish, fries, okra, and more—plus you can get them Cajun ranch-style for extra flavor. Even their late-night eats always hit, which makes Spades a go-to any day of the week.

On top of the amazing food, the hospitality is unmatched. Ralph, the owner, is always welcoming, and the cooks, waitresses, and bottle girls are friendly and attentive every single time.

I can’t say it enough—I love, love, love Spades! Whether it’s Taco Tuesday, brunch, Sunday Funday, or late-night cravings, you’ll leave full, happy, and already planning...
