The Tuscaloosa City Council approved a retail liquor license for Lee's Restaurant Tuscalo's LLC, operating as BBA Asia Buffet, for 1320 McFarland Boulevard East, Suite 710.
City staff presented the application and said operating hours would be Sunday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Staff reported an occupancy load of 298 and said, “There were no incidents reported by Tuscaloosa Police Department, and Tuscaloosa Police Department did not have any objections with this application.” The council then moved, was seconded, and members voted “Aye,” recording approval in the meeting transcript.
Why it matters: a new retail liquor license allows the restaurant to serve alcohol at the specified location during the hours presented to the council; the police department’s lack of objection was noted as part of the licensing review.
The transcript does not identify who made the motion or who seconded it by full name; the meeting record shows the vote called and the council’s verbal “Aye” in favor. The applicant’s name was presented in the record as Lee’s Restaurant Tuscalo's LLC, BBA Asia Buffet. Staff provided a proposed floor plan, a zoning map, and an area view of adjacent businesses as part of the packet materials shown during the presentation.
No further conditions, objections, or appeals were recorded in the provided excerpt of the meeting.
