As summer winds down and fall comes back around that means move in and heading back to our college towns, which would be Oxford, Mississippi for me. Ox is a very unique college town that compares to no other- including the food. Oxford is home to the Ole Miss Rebels, but there is more to us than just football, our restaurants. We're lucky to have some amazing restaurants here. So here are my top seven in Oxford:
1. Soulshine Pizza
Soulshine is known for their wonderful pizza and laid-back atmosphere. It's an Oxford favorite. You can't go wrong with picking something on the menu because it's all so good. You will most likely find a wait if you go during dinner time or after church on Sundays.
2. Oxford Grillehouse
Oxford Grillehouse is a hit in town; located in the heart of the Square, it is a favorite and is always poppin'. Their steak and mac n' cheese is a must when you go.
3. Taylor Grocery
Don't let the outside turn you off, this place is the best. Expect a wait though. It's only opened Thursday-Sunday. Also, it's one of the most popular places in the Oxford area. For sure a hit when parents come in town. Oh, their cheese fries are a gift from God. They're delish.
4. Big Bad Breakfast
More commonly known just as BBB. Expect a wait as well. Their menu is long but everything on it is beautiful and delish. For sure worth the wait.
5. Bouré
Bouré is a good place if you want a burger or just good food. If you want a view, then eat on the upstairs porch; it offers a nice view at night and over looks the bars.
6. AJax
Ajax is the best soul food in Oxford hands down, no question about it. Ajax is a tiny restaurant but man it's so good. If you need some of grandma's cooking or a home cooked meal, this is the place to go.
7. Casa Mexicana
BEST MEXICAN RESTAURANT IN OXFORD. I probably go here twice a week... it's so good and has good prices (which is always nice). Be sure to get a large cheese dip. It's SOOOO good.
Those are a few of my favorite restaurants in Oxford. If you're new to Ox go try one. I can assure you that you'll love which ever one you go to!
