Quick info
About 43 Prime
On US-43 in Northport, 43 Prime is a steak house serving evenings from Tuesday through Saturday, closed Mondays and Sundays. The menu of about 20 items pairs porterhouse with fried grouper fingers, alongside queso cheese sticks, onion rings, and green beans. Shrimp dip and messy fries round out the appetizer offerings, and the kitchen makes its own ranch dressing and fry batter. Seating is split between a bar area and a separate dining room, both with TVs, and servers take orders at the table. The restaurant takes walk-ins, and a wait for a table turns up occasionally. Along with the food, the bar serves an Arnold Palmer.

Customer Review Summary
Steaks anchor most visits, with the filet, ribeye, and porterhouse repeatedly singled out, though one diner found the steaks disappointing and another described a to-go hamburger steak ordered medium that arrived well done and chewy with flavorless onion rings. Close behind, the queso cheese sticks, onion rings, messy fries, and a shrimp dip appetizer draw repeat praise, and several reviewers mention returning weekly for takeout items like fried shrimp and loaded baked potatoes. Servers come up constantly and warmly, credited with steering first timers, remembering orders, and making the meal, and the Arnold Palmer gets a specific nod. The setting is called small, noisy, warm, and eclectic, with occasional waits at busy times that reviewers treat as expected. Prices are called reasonable and consistency is a recurring theme, with regulars saying it's as good visit after visit. One reviewer closes by returning weekly for the same takeout order.

“Fantastic service, shrimp dip appetizer was amazing. Unfortunately steaks are not good but overall it's a pretty good place for Tuscaloosa. Will be back for drinks and appetizers. Can't say enough about our server.”

“My husband and I ate here last night for the first date night we have had in a long time. Immediately, this felt like your "hometown" steak restaurant. They were packed, and we had to wait a little- which would TOTALLY be expected. The food …”

“This is a gem! The food was surprisingly good! It is small and a bit noisy, but very warm in a welcoming way. It is very eclectic in the decorations. Would I return again? In a heartbeat, yes!”

“We had dinner tonight at 43 Prime Steakhouse and the food was absolutely amazing, but the real standout of the night was our waitress. She was hands down the best server we have ever had anywhere. She was incredibly sweet, attentive, and made sure we were taken care of from start to finish. She told us we were her first table and thanked us for being so nice, but honestly, we should be thanking her. She made our entire experience even better with how kind, genuine, and hardworking she was. Great food is important, but service like that is what truly makes people want to come back. 43 Prime is lucky to have her.”
- Lee Stegall
“One of the best things about a restaurant is consistency. Knowing any time you visit it will be as good as the last. I am yet to find anything bad on the menu but certainly have many things I crave. I cannot go without getting the queso cheese sticks and whatever entree I get I want onion rings and green beans. Whether the steak, burger, fish, and now the smoked pork chop, it is all great and reasonably priced. While occasionally a wait, service is consistently good and friendly. I will continue to visit regularly.”
