If you're an out-of-state student who had to fly back north or out west for the summer, these sweet southern fast-food chains have been on your mind ever since.
From chicken to BBQ, your mouth will start to water when you remember what you've been missing.
1. Zaxby's
Chicken fingers and Texas toast? What could be better?!?
2. Whataburger
Originating in Texas, but definitely a southern tradition, there are new restaurants popping up all over the south, especially Tuscaloosa, and people are loving it.
3. Raising Cane's
Late night chicken and sweet tea from Cane's is craving that sticks with you, especially over the summer when you can't have it...
4. Full Moon BBQ
After having a full plate of BBQ from Full Moon, you'll feel like you're going to explode from being so full, but will never be more satisfied with your meal. Sweet Southern BBQ, live on!
5. Cook Out
THE fast food chain of the south. With their low prices and late night hours, you'll see lines of students and cars just waiting to order trays and milkshakes.
6. Bojangles
Sweet tea, sweat tea, sweat tea. Gallons and gallons of it stacked in our fridges for life.
7. Taco Casa
Although it's a heavy debate in T-town between Taco Casa and Taco Mama, when you see the cactus logo and this Mexican cuisine, you can't stay away.
8. Sonic
You'll never be more indecisive about milkshakes and slushies in your life. Oh, and the chili dogs served by people on roller skates aren't bad either!
9. Waffle House
Breakfast galore. Whether it be waffles, pancakes, or french toast, choose your poison wisely. I guarantee it will melt in your mouth.
10. Jimmy Johns
Free smells? I'll take it. With the fastest delivery I've ever seen, Jimmy Johns defines that not all heroes wear capes.
