Didn't eat out that much. Mostly ate at home, but when we did...
BBQ House had a special, on Wednesday I think, of a chicken plate for something like $2.99.
After a long Saturday night, there was nothing quite like a Sunday lunch trip to the Hotel Talasi.
After the Supper Club closed for the night, a pilgrimage to the old Krystal on Magnolia for a Chili Bean Special (chili, two Krystals, fry, and drink) was a must.
Someone mentioned the hamburger po boy at the Cajun Creole Shack. Those things were awesome. There's a place in Atlanta that makes one that's good too.
Drunk Bus mentioned a Fry Daddy. We'd have seafood nights after a pay day. Someone would bring frozen shrimp, others would bring clams, scallops, fish, fries, hushpuppies and we'd get the Fry Daddy going.
There were also occasional trips to the Triangle for AYCE Shrimp.

Might be before everyone's time at Auburn but there was a place called Tiger Pies that delivered pizza. We consumed many pizzas from Tiger Pies.
My fave pizza during my years (80-85) was Chanellos. 20-inch pizzas!

I think it’s just the Opelika location that’s closing.
Pretty sure the O.G. Niffer’s is still alive & kicking (at least I certainly hope so)

Damn it better be. I won’t sleep at night if I can't get their corn nuggets and honey mustard again

When I worked for the Ath Dept between 07-09, I mainly ate at the dining hall at Sewell. They had really good meals there.
Auburn was the first place I had Jimmy John’s so got those a lot.
Little Italy - Best NY/Neapolitan style pizza in AL.
Lots have already been mentioned already.

For some reason, we have never really lived in a area where we had any sub shops other than Subway. Now we have about everything you could ask for with in a 5min drive
Jimmy Johns is our favorite so far. Jersey Mikes are also awesome

Chanello's. Great Vesuvian sandwich(spicy meatball-Italian). Pizza was a staple too. That was weekend food. Had a meal plan at Little Henry's for the weekday meals. Really good biscuits/rolls at every meal.

Is there any place that does that anymore? I know Buffalos did that for a while. I remember getting wings for .25 on occasion not too long ago. Now, you are lucky if you get them for $1.50 each

That reminded me of my go to "make it myself" meal when I was in school. I would make some rice and then open a can of Castleberry's Brunswick stew, heat it and pour it over the rice.
The thought of that now makes me want to gag.

Used to eat Castleberry's Brunswick stew and the beef stew back in the day. A few months back, I got a can of it, added some pulled pork I cooked, some Foy's hot BBQ sauce, and a few other things and made a Q-stew that was very much like that served at the BBQ House.

I would take a pound of hamburger meat, browned
2 boxes of mac & cheese
1 jar of your fav spaghetti sauce
small amount of shredded cheese
couple of peppers chopped
Mix it all together and eat on that for a few days.

A couple of ketchup packets and some hot water...
Pasquale's roast beef sammich. Still try to get one when I go to Birmingham at the Gardendale location. IIRC, there is one in Cullman too.
