Planning a trip out there, got a place to stay in Sardis but trying to find places to go and eat/drink at. Any suggestions are appreciated

Eat/ Drink in the "Square" the night before. The Grove is different, but the people are pretty cool and inviting, for the most part. The fans in the stands are a bunch of petulant brats and some of the most annoying I've been around.

McEwen's is great to eat at

The City Grocery, Snackbar, Boure restaurant owner group does well…Ajax diner makes a solid lunch. Kabuki sushi…Heartbreak coffee.

The Kennel Club steakhouse in Sardis is pretty good…also try the brown butter cake and ice cream for dessert.

Play golf
Proud Larry's (good burgers)
Phillips Grocery (best burgers IMO)
City Grocery (downstairs for food, upstairs for drinks)
Ajax (southern comfort food, lemon margarita)
Bouree is overpriced and overrated, but the upstairs is solid for a drink
The Coop bar and restaurant (4th floor of The Graduate Hotel)
Oxford Grillehouse is solid. Mannings eat there frequently
McEwans is solid
Lost Pizza Co
St. Leo
None of the above are a bad choice. Enjoy your time in little ole Oxford. We miss it.

Pull into any gas station and get a chicken on a stick…

Laugh at the pretentious Ole Miss fans who think they’re the Harvard of the south.
They think their school and town are God’s gift to earth. They act entitled like Bama fans but lack the history of winning. They think Oxford is Athens. They think they’re elite simply because they play in the same conference as elite programs such as LSU.

Gameday weekends are such a pain in the arse overall here and by far the worst times to live here . Hard to maneuver and parking is a chore If you can find it to begin with
I basically become a hermit except to walk to the game .
And it’s why I like to rent my house out so I don’t have to deal with it and can make some money on the side

For the LSU game?

I'll probably catch flack, but Saturday's in the fall at Oxford blow. They really do. I've been a lot of places for football games, some for LSU games, others not (off the top of my head, I've been to games at LSU, Arkansas, Ole Miss, MS State, Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky, A&M, Texas, TCU, Notre Dame, UNC, Virginia Tech, Syracuse, Washington, Colorado State, Univ. of Ohio), and Ole Miss/Oxford, undoubtedly, is the most "challenging" to enjoy, if that makes sense.
It's simply entirely too small, too crowded and congested, and way too much of a hassle. Everything has long waits, expensive covers, hard to maneuver and get around, no live music and bbq grills, drinking is a hassle - even as an adult. It just doesn't cater well to large crowds. Finding a place to stay is a hassle, getting in/out is a hassle, maneuvering through the Square and The Grove (which is a nice setting, just way too compact and discombobulated) is a hassle. It's just such a PIA that it simply isn't worth it.
Take my advice and head up there in the spring when LSU plays Ole Miss in baseball. Much more enjoyable.

TriBecca is pretty good pizza in Sardis.
Como Steakhouse is also pretty good just north of you.
Rice and Spice in Oxford is legitimately good Thai food.

Your best bet is to let Mercerbears be your co-pilot for the weekend.

Good lord at the amount of LSU fans in this thread. There are actually some helpful and insightful reviews in here and then there’s a couple that are mad Oxford is nicer than the murder/rape/robbery fest their school resides in

Mr. Faulkner's former home at Rowan Oak is definitely worth a visit.
