Got a friend coming to town and he wants to know what places are recommended "don't miss" eats in Tuscaloosa. And if anyone else knows anywhere, he's also going to be in Starkville and Oxford, MS - so if you know places there, list them as well.

Thx.
 
In Starkville - Stromboli's

On the way out of Starkville, go to Anthony's Market on Main Street in West Point.
 
I usually go to the Full Moon BBQ and get a rib plate if I have time to stop in Tuscaloosa. I drove through four to six times a year and get to stop once or twice.
 
I'd add Baumhower's Wings in TTown; nice pics of Bama football history around on the walls.

The local MSU types swear by Little Dewey's in Starkville for BBQ. We went once, & it's pretty good.

I know more about the Oxford eateries since exiled, jr. lived up there during pharmacy school & we visited many times.
--Volta's (Greek/Mediterranean)
--Ajax (Meat & three type place that's really good; also, it's located on the square & thus easy to find.)
--Big Bad Breakfast
--Bottletree Bakery (mrs. exiled's & my fave; pastries, bkfst, etc.; think "hippies who cook really well" :) )
--Boure ("Boo-ray" basically); good eats, also right on the square
--City Grocery (higher-end, locally sourced, high-quality eats; again, right on the square)
--Proud Larry's (a block off the square toward campus; casual, but good)
--Old Taylor Grocery (a few miles out of town; _very_ popular. think "catfish house")
Our 3 go-tos are Bottletree for breakfast, Volta's, and Old Taylor Grocery. FWIW, Big Bad Bkfst, and I believe Boure and City Grocery are run by the regional fave chef John something-or-other; he's a known quantity in foodie-world.
