i'll start...

must see - Bryant Museum - across from Coleman Coliseum
& Gameday on the Quad

as for food...we usually eat at Taco Casa on the way out or on the quad before the game :) ... so i'm probably not much help there :) there's always Dreamland. Or Ramma Jammas on Bryant Drive by the stadium if you want something quick.

i'm sure if you do a search on this forum, you will find a thread with all the answers already there...

here ya go

RE Taco Casa: I have lived here for 5 years and have been to Taco Casa a couple of times. I was not thrilled with their food either time. Maybe I am ordering the wrong thing. What do you guys get that you love so much?

HUGE call on Taco Casa. Beefy nachos and a bean burrito.

"This burrito is delicious but its filling."

I always have to stop by Milo's, I think they closed the one in Auburn down. Love the peach pies.

Anyone agree with me that the Waysider's food is not that great? I saw Todd Blackledge do some damage in there this past weekend. Love the atmosphere though. I think you can scratch glass with those tiny biscuts.

Too bad the Quik-Snack is gone.

Mugshots has really good burgers, they are located downtown on Greensboro Ave. But, Dreamland is a must especially if you have never been to Tuscaloosa. Hope you have a great time and RTR!

Don't flame me but...I HATE TACO CASA!!!! My wife is from Tuscaloosa and can't get enough of it. Do you have to be from T-Town to enjoy that crap?

The perfect day would include:
Breakfast at the Waysider...
Lunch at City Cafe...
and Archibald's ribs for dinner!!!

The other must see next Saturday will be the beat-down in BDS and the early start to duck hunting season!!:BigA:

Milo's is a long time favorite for me. We always try to stop by for a few of their burgers when in T-Town.

I go back a few years and remember when I worked in Birmingham, a couple of us guys would take in burgers for lunch at the original Milo's in North B'ham. There was no dine-in; just place your order and wait outside for twenty minutes. It was always worth the wait.

Our Milo's stinks. I don't know anyone here who goes there. City Cafe in Northport is more of a must than Taco Casa. Then again they are not open on the weekend and they close at 3:30 pm so you would have to get here early on Friday. Dreamland has never been the same since its founder's family sold it and it went corporate. But if you want a must see...You must see something NO ONE IN THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN...

Bama beating Auburn in Tuscaloosa!

I hope you witness history Sat. ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!
