Best Quick Meal-South Depot Taco Shop: This restaurant is fairly new on the Square, but it has already made a name for itself with lines out the door nearly every day. The food is fast and fresh, the staff is always polite, and the atmosphere represents an amazing modern version of a South-Western Mexican eating establishment. And let's face it; the Square has needed a break from pizza, burgers, and fried catfish for a while. Also on another note for those of you who are of age, there are two dollar beer specials every day.
Best Home Cooked Meal-Ajax: If you are looking to try most likely the best southern cooking on the square, you have met your match. Ajax old school home cooked meals like their hot tamale plate or their grilled pork chops. The servings are huge and the prices are reasonable. Warning: Make sure to get there a good thirty minutes before dinner time, because it fills up faster than the Super Dome during a hurricane.
Best Fine Dining-City Grocery: If you are looking for place to take someone on date, or for a formal family dinner, City Grocery is your best bet. The atmosphere is classy and the foods reputation is impeccable. City Grocery has been open for nearly 20 years and business is a booming. One thing to remember however when eating at a fine dinning establishment like City Grocery, is make sure to bring your wallet because prices are anything but cheap. Four dollar beers and eight dollar liquor drinks are not exactly casual pregame prices.
Best Cheap Meal-Frank and Marley's: About 75 percent of the time my bank account has less than 10 dollars. After a while you get pretty good at finding cheap places to spend your cash. Frank and Marley's every Monday and Thursday serves 25 cent wings and dollar PBRs. The wings are the best on the square and come in three different flavors. It's a great place to go watch the game or if you are looking to party late. Their downstairs is a great venue for small bands.
Best Drink Specials and Music-Rooster's: Again for those of you underage or to those who are opposed to the consumption of alcohol I apologize, but as one of the top party schools in the nation since the list's existence, I I feel it is necessary to include this. Rooster's Blues House on Mondays sells two dollar pitchers of beer and 35 cent wings. Wednesdays there are 32 ounce long necks for three dollars and every day from 3:00 to 6:00PM is two for one specials. Don't get me wrong it is not at all and never will be just about the alcohol. Rooster's has built a long lasting reputation not just because of its drink specials, but also because of their incredibly hard working staff, friendly atmosphere, and even better talent management. If you are looking to see a good band on a random night of the week Rooster's is where you want to be. They don't call it the Blue's House for nothing.
Best All Around-The Library: I saved this one for last because I believe it truly is a special place that should not only be recognized by the City of Oxford, but by everyone. The Library is truly one of the most well-designed sports bars of all time. When you walk in you are immediately looking at the game you want to watch on 15 different high definition television sets. In the next room, you have a dance floor the size of an small auditorium where the bands and disk jockeys play for hours. Finally you have the enclosed bar outside where you can choose to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air or you have the option to step up onto the balcony where you can view the entire Square. Unfortunately if you do decided to visit be aware it is by no means cheap. Cover charges range from 10 to 20 dollars depending on the day of the week, but in the long run, you can never put a price on a good time.
