Thomas Rib Shack on 15th Street (west). Their ribs make Dreamlands seem like beef jerky.

The Oasis in Cottondale. Best greasy cheesburgers in town (and ice cold beer

I believe it's Ezell's Catfish Cabin... I've only been there once but I liked it a lot. My family took me there when I graduated in '98.
 
Re: "Todd's Taste of the Town"

I'm not sure but I don't think Ezell's exists as a stand alone restaurant anymore, I think it may only be in the Stadium now. I am not positive on that though. Also great call on Rama Jama's, that places slips my mind sometimes. Their milkshakes are excellent as is the breakfast and burgers.

Man, when I was in school (late 80's), City Cafe was the deal!! I must've had lunch there at least 2-3 times/week. I remember the food as being very good, but things do change.

We also used to eat at a place called Mama Jewel's. I don't believe it's still open, but it was a meat & 3 place too. It was a touch more expensive than City Cafe, but I thought the food was excellent.

Man, those were the days.....

it was sad how much i ate at the city cafe in my final year in t-town. mama jewel's rocked as well. i also made it to some divy fried fish place on the west side of downtown called sweet taste for some of the best fried fish i have ever had.
 
Re: "Todd's Taste of the Town"

Not to change the subject but has anyone ate at the stake place they featured during the TN game. That place looked good but I think it is a few unusual way to cook a steak.

The Oasis ? Is that place still open ? I sat on many a bar stool beside my dad drinking a coke !
 
Re: "Todd's Taste of the Town"

City Cafe holds great memories from my days at the Capstone, but aside from being cheap and plentiful, I don't remember the food as anything special.

You gotta know what to order..... For example, on Thursdays, order up 2 BLTs but have them use the fried green tomatoes instead of the red ones and Fridays, order up a bacon double cheeseburger and a side of the homemade banana pudding (recent special addition). Brings tears to a glass eye.

I'll always hold a special place in my heart for Tut's as it kept me fed my freshman year. You can't beat a slice of pizza, full plate of fries, and a drink for $5.

I think Tut's puts something addictive in their pizzas because those things are TOO good. It's like they put you into a trance or something and all you can think about is eating another slice. Boggle the mind.

I usually think most of the places he goes to actually don't look that good, but I will say the steak place he went to in Knoxville looked pretty dang good to me. Anyone ever been there before?

I've never actually eaten there, but I lived in Knoxville with my parents for a year while my husband was in Iraq (so much orange, ALL THE TIME), and I passed that restaurant nearly every day. Any time that place is open, it is PACKED. I mean, that place is never empty if they are cookin' in the kitchen. I also heard from many locals that it is one of the better places to eat a steak in K-ville.
 
Re: "Todd's Taste of the Town"

I have a feeling Todd will be heading to Baumhower's Wings this weekend. Go ahead and flame me with all the he said he said from 2 years ago.

Hopefully he will go to the new Houndstooth

Yeah, because the taste of Bud Light is so unique...

I vote for Nicks Original Filet House or Chuck's Fish downtown.

As for Ezell's, the one in Tuscaloosa has been closed for a while but the original at the Fish Camp is still open I believe. Last yeah they did Archibald's and Tailgating (on the quad). Buffalo Phil's has branched out to a few places but the original on the strip is still owned by Phillip Weaver (much like the rest of the strip). Desperado's has also made a name for itself with their signature martini's and Black Angus steaks.
