SEC Tournament - some recommended restaurants?

Crazy Cajuns Boiling Pot on 280 is the place your talkin bout, small but has some good things. If you stay on 280 for lunch I would recommend Taziki's, Miss Myra's, and Mamma Goldberg's.

Another quick place is Chipotle, almost identical to Izzo's illegal burrito. If your in the mood for Mexican, Pablo's Mexican Cantina at Lee Branch, Superior Grill, Sol Y Luna.

For seafood I would go to Fish Market or Up the Creek (havent been in a while). Cajun Steamer disappoints as a restaurant not bad for drinks though.

B-B-Q, Full Moon and Johnny Ray's are okay but Miss Myra's is better than both. New place at the Summit on 280 called Sweet Bones has some huge Po-Boys and good brisket. The summit also has same thing every other town has if your a cookie cutter type...PF Chang's, Fleming's, CPK, Romano's, Cheesecake Factory, Grape, Zoe's Kitchen, Johnny Rocket's.

These are all places on the Southside of Birmingham around 459.

Cajun Steamer in Patton Creek is much closer to Regions Park, and there is LSU stuff around the bar. Ate there last night and royal reds were incredible. Hope you enjoy your stay and

Never heard of Jubilee Joe's before - just moved here end of last year. I'll definitely have to check it out. May wait until SEC tourney days and hopefully run into some other Tigers!

They had a big crawfish boil last week, and I met a bunch of other LSU folks. My 15 year old wore her P&G #15 jersey, and got a lot of GEAUX TIGAHS!!

The food isn't perfect, but it's somewhat more authentic than the steamer, and it's a one shop, one owner kind of place. VERY friendly.

I am putting a lot of pressure on the owner to have an "LSU corner"! He's actually got BAMA junk on the wall...

So when you go in, ask to sit in the LSU section!!!

for some reason last year, the chick-fil-a was ALWAYS packed. i don't know if it was new or if hoover just likes their nuggets...

Thanks for all of the info. We moved here so that I could finish my third and fourth year of medical school. Did the first two years in Kansas City (great place to live except for Big XII ). We lived in Hattiesburg prior to that are life-long south MS natives. Glad to be back in the southeast for sure - even if it is in the heart of BAMA land - oh well, makes it sweeter when we beat 'em a few miles down the road this year.
We live in Bluff Park, so pretty near Joe's. Will have to try it out. If you do hear about team being there, please let me know. My 8 year old would literally eat that up. We were in Omaha last year, walked up to Rosenblatt right when Tiger bus was pulling up and got to see everybody get off. Boys were a little shy, but my oldest did get Jared Mitchell's auto on his cap. He loves it.
Sat through 2-3+ hours of lightning delay against UNC - fortunately sitting in grandstand. Next night, when Clark tied it with a bomb in the 8th, my son when crazy. Then when UNC hit grand slam in 9th, he burst into violent sobs for at least 10 minutes. One of proudest moments of my life - I've got another true Tiger!

Will have to try Cajun Cleavage out as well. Haven't had any good boudin in a while - not much in Kansas!
Thanks again for all the info and

I Met Jimbo Fisher @ Crazy Cajuns on 280 he was their talking to Joey Jones coach of Mountain Brook at the time..I think he was their trying to get that Love kid from Mountain Brook...Super cool guys both he and Jones...Crazy Cajuns is home away from home for Louisiana folks I believe the owner is from Louisiana Super cool guy..Also another great bar athmoshere and good food crawfish etc music band etc is Court Yard 280..on Hwy 280 as well.This guy that owns his name is Mike..He is from Shreveport big Tiger Fans both places..cheers

Less that 3 weeks to go. Looking forward to it. This will be our 6th year going, 4th straight. My son and his friend bought an LSU championship shirt after the final and then got the majority of the players to sign it as they walked out. Even at 15 he wears it proud in GA. We've been here for 20 years but raised him as a Tiger fan.

Went to his first LSU game outside the GA dome at SC last year. Great game and we had a blast. With him in HS school and all the sports it was one of the few regular season games we could make. Hope to get to AL and GA this year.

We'll definitely try some of the recommendations from above as we are always looking for good eats while we are at the tournament.

We're heard great things about their food as well. Word is that the service is slow and less than hospitable, however. We may break down and try to eat there again, but the first time we tried, they told us at the door that it'd be a hour's wait for a two top, and then as we walked back to the car, we saw two tables right by the window that were open, bussed, and empty. MrMomma has a long history in food service, and this really set him against this place.

We lean towards Crazy Cajuns and Joe's, because like I said, they are one-owner type joints, the food is close to home, and both of the owners are friendly and always seem glad to see LSU people!
