Feeling Hungry??

We all know college students like to eat, right? Well, in my post this week I am going to give the students at Troy University a few good places around town to go and chow down. 

1. Sweet Rack Rib Shack

*Downtown, on the gorgeous Troy square, there is a little, "hole-in-the-wall" place to eat that the locals just simply call Sweet Rack's. This is a bbq place that is so wonderful. They have a full menu of wings, ribs, pork platters, etc. The smell as soon as you walk in the door will melt your tastebuds. They also have live music on certain days of the week to accompany your meal. Sweet Rack's is reasonably priced, and even if you're not a college student it is a good family place to grab a bite. Also, on Thursday nights, students and residents of Troy can catch head football coach, Neil Brown, participate in his weekly "Trojan Talk" live. 

2. The Dirty Pearl Oyster Pub & Grill

*Located straight off of Highway 231 near the Kangaroo, The Dirty Pearl is a great place for live music, karaoke, and of course, oysters! They have a great outdoor space lit up with party lights and a quaint little indoor area as well. The Pearl is a great atmosphere for grabbing drinks and eating some famous "shrimp and grits". So if your in the mood for music and oysters, the pearl is a definite must try. 

3. Mama Goldberg's Deli

* If you don't want bbq or oysters and you're just looking for a great sandwich, check out Mama G's. Also located on the square in downtown, Mama G's is the best place in Troy for grabbing a delicious deli sliced sandwich. From the "Big Mama" to the "Camel Rider" the names alone will make you want to try one out. 

4. Sips on the Square

*Last, but certainly one of the best is "Sips". If you are in the mood for a quiet, small, and secluded atmosphere to have a nice meal, Sips on the Square should be your number one choice. They have the best wine selection in the area, with their weekly "wine tastings", and they have some of the best pizza in town. They are also located in good distance to the college. Sips is located on the square along with Sweet Rack's and Mama G's. This is the perfect place for a first date, or just going for a nice glass of wine with the girls. 

So whether it's bbq, seafood, or just a really good sandwich, Troy has some really great choices. There is always a place to grab your friends or family and just have a great meal.
