Overview

Lamon’s Fried and Frosty, nestled in the heart of Tuscaloosa on University Boulevard, offers a genuine slice of Southern comfort food that hits every note from crispy to creamy. This spot excels at delivering classic fried chicken, prepared with a golden, crunchy crust that seals in juicy, tender meat. Whether you prefer the mild or crave a bit of heat, their flavorful options cater to every palate, making it a standout destination for fans of authentic Southern fried fare.

The menu is thoughtfully built around standout entrees like their bone-in fried chicken and farm-raised catfish, available fried, grilled, or blackened. The catfish, in particular, is a jewel of the Gulf South, tender and expertly seasoned, offering diners a taste that is both fresh and robust. For those with varied preferences, the vegetable plate provides a well-rounded choice featuring three house-prepared sides, ideal for vegetarians or anyone looking for lighter fare without sacrificing flavor.

Sides are more than just an afterthought here. The mac and cheese pays tribute to Southern richness with a decadent blend of several cheeses, while the collard greens bring that smoky, bacon-infused depth typical of the region. The vinegar slaw cuts through the richness with its crisp texture and tangy brightness, balancing the meal beautifully.

The service adds an essential layer to the Lamon’s experience. Guests rave about the attentive, warm staff who maintain a genuine connection throughout the meal. Even the owner’s personal engagement speaks volumes about the pride and care put into every dining experience. This creates a welcoming atmosphere that makes customers feel valued and eager to return.

No Southern meal is complete without dessert, and Lamon’s finishes strong with soft serve ice cream that's smooth, rich, and nostalgically satisfying. Whether dipped in chocolate or butterscotch, these treats offer a perfect cool contrast to the spicy, crunchy main dishes.

Lamon’s Fried and Frosty is a vibrant addition to Tuscaloosa’s dining scene, especially for lovers of hearty Southern cuisine and those seeking a relaxed, inviting space for lunch or dinner. It appeals equally to families, locals, and visitors craving an authentic taste of the South with modern hospitality and care. This spot truly embodies the spirit of Southern cooking with a fresh, flavorful twist that keeps customers coming back for more.

Perfectly, golden chicken tenders with the creamiest homemade ranch, mac and cheese, and mashed potatoes! The blackened tenders were packed with flavor with heat added to your liking. Ended the meal with rich, soft serve ice cream dipped in chocolate and the other in butterscotch! The staff was kind and very attentive as they were checking on customers throughout the night to ensure top-quality service. Lamon’s is a must-go and we can’t wait to come back and try more menu items!

I love this restaurant! I have been there twice since they opened a few days ago and each time has been wonderful. I’m a picky eater and a vegetarian, so I really appreciate the vegetable plate. It’s picky eater safe! The ice cream is also the creamiest soft serve I’ve ever had. I just finished my meal and I already can’t wait to come back! Every table was checked on multiple times. The staff were frequently making their rounds and even the owner was personally checking on people. It was a great experience!

This food is amazing! If you’re looking for delicious southern food, this is the place to go! I got the chicken tenders mild, and they were delicious. The spice level was perfect and paired with the ranch dressing beautifully. My husband got the catfish fingers and loved them so much he ordered another plate! We also got the ice cream cone with crunch! Can’t wait to go back!!
