Abners Famous Chicken Tenders, (2 blocks from the Square), . Great chicken tenders. Wall-to-wall sports memorabilia. Great sweet tea. It has now developed into a small chain with locations throughout Mississippi and the Memphis area. This is the original Abners and was started by former Ole Miss football player, Abner White. Great for a quick lunch.
Bottle Tree Bakery A quaint coffee and pastry shop in the morning. A sandwich place in the afternoon. Known throughout town for their wonderful breads, muffins and pastries. Has been featured on the Food Network and Oprah, who loves their apple pie.
B's Hickory Smoked Bar-B-Q, 825 College Hill Road (Sky Mart), +1 662 236-1562. Mo-Su 9AM-10PM. Smoked Tenderloin, Chicken, Cornish Hens, Quail, Ribs, Pork Tenderloin, Beef Brisket, Hot Wings, Sides. Great place to pick up some barbeque for tailgating before football or baseball games, though you'll need to place any large order ahead of time. Although it's inside the BP gas station, don't let that fool you. It's some of the finest barbeque around. Any leftover 'Q is sold at a deep discount late at night.
Handy Andy, 800 North Lamar Boulevard, +1 662 234-4621, M-F 6:30AM-8:30PM, Sa 7AM-8:30PM. Specializing in great BBQ, sandwiches, ribs, and salads. Don't miss the peach and apple fried pies! One of the most popular spots in town. The crowd comes not for the atmosphere, which is definitely no-frills, but for the great food at cheap prices. Try the steak sandwich, but you can't go wrong with the great barbeque (still hickory smoked when most famous Memphis places have switched to gas smokers) or the hamburgers made they way they were 50 years ago. The banana pudding is some of the best you'll ever eat, and you can't beat the price at 97 cents per serving.
McAlister's Deli, 1515 University Avenue, +1 662 234-1363, . Great soup and sandwich shop. While it has now grown into a corporation with locations in 18 states and growing, Oxford is home to the original McAllister's Deli, still located in an old, converted gas station on University Avenue. Scenes in the movie HEART OF DIXIE were filmed here. Everything on the menu is good, but the sweet tea made them famous. Sandwiches and other fare less than $10.
Newks Express Cafe, 1309 University Avenue, +1 662 513-5303, . While it has only been open since early 2005, Newks is already marketing itself as a franchise company and has been named one of the companies to keep an eye on by Franchise Magazine. The atmosphere is very upscale and hip. Exceptional menu including soups, salads, pizza, and toasted sandwiches. Owned by the same family that opened the very first McAllister's Deli.
Pizza Den, 499 Heritage Drive, +1 662 234-5537, M-F 11AM-11PM, Sa-Su 12PM-11PM. Pizza Den has moved to a new location and has the same menu used by Pizza Bob to make this a favorite eating establishment among generations of Ole Miss students and Oxford residents. The restaurant is operated by Pizza Bob's five children and the same equipment used at the old location is being implemented at the new location. Menu items include Pizza, Spaghetti, and Sandwiches. The sandwiches are out-of-this-world good, and the stromboli is a local favorite. Be forewarned: the wait for your food is notoriously long, even when they don't appear to be busy.
The Rib Cage, 311 South Lamar, +1 662 238-2929, M-Sa 10AM-11PM, Su 10AM-3PM. A rib joint that features an upstairs restaurant and downstairs bar. This is the perfect place to catch a game on one of their 10 televisions. The food is great and the cold beer keeps the crowd coming in. The fun is in the basement. Watch out for the best looking waitresses in town.
Uptown Coffee, 265 North Lamar Boulevard, +1 662 513-0905. Located right off the Square, Uptown is a perfect place to meet up with friends to have a cup of joe and hang out. High Speed Internet available.
Tienda Y Taqueria, University Ave. (behind Oby's). Super-authentic, fresh Mexican cuisine at rock bottom prices. Mexican food that Mexicans eat.
