“ Incredible! I had the mild lemon pepper wet wings with the Catch fries and omg.. arguably the best wings in Tuscaloosa at a very competitive price point with a better overall quality. This is about to be my go-to wing spot over Catfish Heaven and B-Phil’s! ”
“ I love catch a taste. I’m in this spot almost every week. My favorite order is 50 piece tray dry lemon pepper with 5 orders of pound cake bites. 10/10 best wings in town ”
“ Service was/is always quick and food is always hot,fresh and to your liking. Definitely a regular customer ”
“ Ordered take out to be picked up after 5 for a small event at the Weaver-Bolden Library. Customer service was top notch. So helpful, she went out of her way to make it happen. The patrons at the event loved the wings. They said that they were delicious. My only - would be that the wings were really tiny. I probably should have ordered more. ”
“ The building was nice and well organized and the wait wasn't long. I decided to go with the Passion flavor on my wings which I found to be tasteful to say the least with a slight twang. The wings themselves were decently sized, but a few of the drumettes where poorly cut. Asides from that I will definitely revisit the establishment. ”
“ Cashier suggested Passion wings. I would also recommend. Good resource with collection of local black owned businesses cards. Also has small bar area, enhancing the atmosphere. ”
“ We came from Carrollton to visit our son who plays for Bama and he suggested that we try Catch a Taste... best choice ever, the smoke and lemon pepper wings was off the chain!!!!! 10 out of 10!!! ”
“ Before the restaurant, there was the food truck, and I was a frequent visitor there, as well as ordering through the delivery apps for lunch, and now that they have opened the brick and Mortar, I will be a frequent visitor there as well. The customer service is still top notch, the wings are still AMAZING, and the extra perk with the bar and great drinks is definitely a plus! If you visit, be sure to tell them how you heard of there new location, and be sure to try the Exotic Wings (I add lemon pepper) and the exotic drink at the bar! David and Erica are two of my favs, and they are a family that is very active and giving in their community. They will always have my support. ”
