Ross Lamon serving Lamon’s hot chicken and frozen custardLocally owned in Tuscaloosa

A Tuscaloosa original

Two cravings. One local restaurant.

Ross and Taylor Lamon built Fried & Frosty around the food they each love: Ross’s years-long pursuit of great Nashville hot chicken and Taylor’s love of the cool side, rooted in her creamery days.

The result is hot-and-cold comfort food with a place of its own in downtown Tuscaloosa.

The fries and ranch dressing are so good. My daughter loved the Mac and cheese. The chicken tenders were tasty and a good size.

★★★★★

The tender plate has become one of those meals I have to resist turning into a habit, and their lunch special is hard to beat.

Everything was incredibly fresh and flavorful. I tried the pick two with hot chicken tenders, fried fish, fries and macaroni and cheese.
