Dining Nearby
Being on the prime area of Lake Tuscaloosa means we are about 13 minutes from Downtown Tuscaloosa’s great food options. But if you want a great meal within a very short drive 43 Prime is an absolutely excellent option! Family friendly, locally-owned, full bar, great food and friendly service! It’s usually a pretty reasonable wait for a table as it’s our little secret in Northport! You are sure to have a great meal and they have a little something for everyone! We recommend you try their unique cheese sticks and the AMAZING banana pudding!
