Mediterranean Sandwich Co. Tuscaloosa — Restaurant in Tuscaloosa

I came to the Mediterranean Sandwich Company on a Saturday afternoon, wanting to check out this new spot. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and look of the space as soon as I walked in. I ordered a gyro and fries, but asked for no lettuce on the gyro. The wait was a bit long, around 15 minutes. That being said, the restaurant was crowded and you could tell the staff was working hard to get food out. When it arrived, I was happy with the appearance and aroma and knew it was time to get serious. I started with a couple of fries and was rewarded with a sensationally crispy outer crust and intimately fluffy inside. You think 5 gum stimulates your senses? Get these fries and try not to cry. Quite possibly the best fries in Tuscaloosa. I regained my composure and took a swing at the gyro. It was quality, coming with a respectable amount of meat and I enjoyed the Tzatziki sauce. I enjoyed my meal and will definitely return. Also, the restroom has a sink made by Dyson... they should stick to...

This would have been my first time trying Med Sandwich Co. This location closed 2 hours early for a Christmas party, which I was unaware of at the time of placing my order.

I arrived to pick up my order as Uber had sent me a notification it had been fulfilled. Upon arriving, there was a note on the door stating there was a Christmas party they were preparing for. After knocking for 5 minutes, someone finally came to the door and told me my Uber order came in a minute too late and would not be fulfilled, and that I could contact Uber customer service. I asked why she couldn't just mark it as unfulfilled and she told me they didn't have a tablet to do so?

If you cannot make the order, why should I have to pay? I spent 43 minutes on chats with Uber eats to finally get a refund. 43 minutes because a business did not correct their hours within Uber eats for that night, nor mark an order as unfulfilled. Shame. I won't be returning...

I would ask for a to-go box, because portions are larger that way 😉

A great place to eat! Food is amazing and delicious. Nothing is frozen and always arrives fresh from the farm. A bit pricey but honestly everywhere on university blvd is. Their portions are also very large and filling. My fav menu item is the original gyro, but honestly everything on the menu is great. I recommend the spinach tomato orzo, which is a nuanced type of pasta I had never heard of before, and the season fries which are just absolutely delicious. The burgers are very juicy and popular, and the pizza, made on pita, is something you should definitely try at least once! The outside patio is a great place to sit with a nice view of everything going on on the strip.

A nice student job; pays much more than other places close to campus and the manager is very flexible with schedules. You also get a free shift meal, which was the highlight...
