After a great year for restaurant debuts in 2015, Tuscaloosa looks to continue growing its food scene in 2016. 

We've put together a photo gallery featuring five new restaurants that appear on track to open in this year. In fact, the River just opened its doors.

You can see pictures of the restaurants and find out where they will be located in the gallery above. If you want to learn more about the five new eateries, check out the links below.

If you know of any new restaurants that we've missed, Tweet us or send us a message on Facebook. Listeners keep telling us they'd love to have a Steak N Shake and a Whataburger in town, but there's no news on either of those yet.
