some of those places listed like barber and talladega are no where close to hoover.
and my two cents..go to bonefish grill and get some bang bang shrimp, you will not regret it. AMAZING!

No mention of where you can get a good whore at.

Best burger in town IMHO is at Firebirds grill in Patton Creek, close to the stadium.

I'll add that...the only time I tried to go there it was closed for a private function. I'll have to give it a shot

'Possibly find a whore outside of Sammy's on Green Springs in (Homewood)I think!!

Surin 280 is awful. If you want good sushi, go to the original Surin downtown in 5 Points.
Good enough for those of us around here that can't find a decent Cajun place, but probably not good to our Louisiana friends. New Orleans Food and Spirits is better.
Dave's Pizza in Homewood is quite good as well. For good deli food, hit up Momma Goldberg's Deli or O'Carr's. There's also a Zoe's in Patton Creek. Cafe Lazio is a good, relatively inexpensive Italian Place in Patton Creek as well.
Bars around the area:
Gabriels - old hole-in-the wall not far from Regions
Oak Hill Bar and Grill in Homewood - low key, quiet bar
Dave's - One of the best bars in Birmingham. They have one of the best beer selections in town, along with On Tap and J. Clyde
The J. Clyde downtown has some pretty good food and an excellent beer selection. Be warned though, they don't serve Macrobrews, so you won't get Bud Light there.

West Birmingham. A cop friend of mine told me you can get a blowjob for the price of a Happy Meal.

Posted on 5/19/09 at 8:51 am to bbap
What does that say about every home game that I've missed then?
Posted on 5/19/09 at 8:53 am to LSUBham
that you were too drunk to drive down.
Posted on 5/19/09 at 8:59 am to bbap
You know I don't let a little thing like being intoxicated get in my way when I need to go somewhere.
Posted on 5/19/09 at 9:25 am to ForeLSU
Ezell's (Oak Mountain Area, Catfish place) CLOSED
