The time has come for tailgating, socializing and watching college football. Part of the experience of course is eating and drinking whether it be at said tailgate, a restaurant, bar, etc. If you’ve never been to an SEC town before, it can sometimes be overwhelming with options and not knowing where to start. You can do internet searches, run into people you know or just decide on a place spur of the moment.

I reached out to some of the most loyal fans for each SEC school on Twitter to guide us in the right direction. The list of places below each had the overwhelming majority of suggestions from fans of each school, and most are within walking distance of each stadium. These fans have their “X” handles where you can follow them listed alongside the school. Here they are:

Alabama (Tuscaloosa, AL)

Dreamland Barbecue: World famous barbeque chain with its original location in Tuscaloosa.

Rama Jama’s: Sports-centric bar and grill. Includes breakfast, sandwiches and shakes. This is the go-to spot on gameday’s with tv’s aplenty and a great atmosphere. If you go for drinks, you can’t walk out without getting their famous alcoholic cocktail, the “Yellow Hammer Slammer.”

Archibald and Woodrow’s BBQ: Award-winning barbecue restaurant that’s been a staple since the 1960’s.

Baumhower’s Victory Grille: Bob Baumhower, an All-American from the University of Alabama and six time All-Pro for the Miami Dolphins, opened this local relic in 1981. Baumhower’s is known for their wings and sports-themed atmosphere with 17 tv’s.
