Oklahoma (Norman, OK)

The Mont: Mexican delicacies make this a must-stop for Sooners fans on Gameday. This community staple since 1976 has a fantastic patio that is paralleled by none for your next meal or drinks.

Othello's Italian Grill: Casual dining and a family atmosphere make this family-owned restaurant a must-stop in Norman. Othello's is known for their award-winning coconut cream pie. They also have a location in Edmond, Oklahoma.

Legends Restaurant: If you are looking for more of an intimate, up-scale experience, this family-owned Norman restaurant is for you. For 57 years they have been operating serving up some fantastic cuisine. Make sure to get their house-made soups and desserts.

Neighborhood Jam: For those early game kickoffs, be sure to stop by one of the most popular breakfast spots in Norman. Jam's and biscuits from scratch are where you can start, but do not let the menu stop there for you before you leave.

Beyond the food, Neighborhood Jam also serves up Henderson Coffee which is Oklahoma's oldest operating coffee roaster that has been in operation since 1944.

South Carolina

J’s Corner Restaurant & Bar: Southern-style comfort food and draft beer set the tone as this former gas station turned to Columbia delight is the spot amongst locals.

Thirsty Fellow Pizzeria and Pub: Known for their pizza, but also provides a comfortable atmosphere with a bar full of tv’s. Also known for their “Gorgonzola Chips” and come with their gorgonzola sauce.

Liberty Tap Room & Grill: Located in downtown Columbia, this local chain is known for their steak, American fare and microbrews. Offers a relaxed, stylish setting making it a popular spot.

Bernie’s Chicken: Walking distance from Willams-Brice Stadium, this is one of the best places in the entire state of South Carolina for fried chicken. Bernie’s looks like a fast food joint, and arguable may be. But the quality of food is far from it taste-wise. Their broasted chicken is deep fried under pressure which makes it essentially grease-free.
