    Expensive Sign
    Mike M.

    A couple of friends recommended for me to come to Handy Andy for lunch and try their burgers and last week I did. It's located on North Lamar just past the Beacon and is a real hole in the wall type of restaurant. The restaurant shows on its outdoor sign that they serve burgers and bbq. Parking is alongside the building and good luck if they are busy which they usually are. I arrived on Friday at about 11:30 a.m. and it got really busy shortly after that. When you walk inside you realize the owners must be all about the food because they surely aren't into interior decorating! That's okay because Handy Andy's has become somewhat of a famous eatery for locals and students who are in the know. I ordered a double burger dressed and with no cheese and added a side dish of bqq beans. With a soft drink and tax my bill was $13.48. Very reasonable. The cashier told me that their fries were frozen out of the bag type but their beans were homemade. My food arrived about 10 minutes after ordering. I started with a couple of spoonfuls of the beans and oh my, my were they good. They had a rich and robust flavor to them. My double burger (2 quarter-pound hand formed patties) was delicious. Plenty of nice tasting beef on a good bun. It was a solid burger. I'm not sure how much bbq this restaurant serves or its quality but I can tell you the their hamburgers and beans are well worth the trip here. I can see why this place has become so popular. I want to return.

    This was our first time to Handy Andy's and it was excellent! They make a great smash burger. I can understand why people wait to eat at Handy Andy. The building is nothing to look at, but I'm much more concerned about great food and that's what they offer.

    As an Oxford local this is not the first time dining at this establishment and is a must try for anyone passing though. Came here with my buddy Harrison,great guy, we both decided double cheeseburgers with an order of fries.Even with the lunch time rush (about 11:30) the burgers came out in about 10 minutes. The price was 12 dollars which for me is absolutely reasonable and worth the price as the burgers were delicious and were seasoned to perfection. Classic diner vibes with a phenomenal atmosphere will be back.

    This is a lovely little spot in Oxford. The burgers are excellent as is their coleslaw. It a nice atmosphere and is definitely a hole in the wall I would visit again. A must-go if you love burgers.

    One of the best burgers I've ever had! Next time I'm trying the Andy Dog. I wish we had one in Utah.

    Amazing barbecue! Service was great, and the vibe was that of an old American diner. Not the most upscale place, but it is the tastiest.

    Real burgers with real ingredients. You order then sit down with a number. When your number is called, you go get it. The tots are perfect!

    This is one of those local places that "you have to try." It doesn't look like much from the outside but the burgers are delish!

    Ajax Diner - Fried catfish

    This place has had the best food, friendliest service, and most relaxing atmosphere since I started…read moregoing in 1998. I cannot go to Oxford without stopping by. It's like eating at your grandmas.

    Ajax diner is located in The Square at Oxford. Parking is mostly paid although I hear now there is…read morea deck that is free. Stopped in today with the family on a college visit. Heard we had to try Ajax, the diner, not the soap. We stopped in for lunch before heading to Nashville airport to come home. The diner is about what you'd expect inside. Old, kitschy and full of decor. We sat in a booth an were greeted by a waitress promptly for drink orders. Cokes and waters. They deliver the coke in a neat Ajax cup. I ordered the chicken fried steak. Wife ordered the chicken and dumplings and step son ordered catfish. Everything arrived very quickly and everything was hot and southern deliciousness, except the corn bread. The corn bread was dry and not very good at all. Pretty sure it was yesterday's leftover bread or someone needs to pull it 5 minutes sooner from the oven. Unanimous at the table, Everton e had garb corn bread. No big deal. The chicken fried steak was full of flavor and cooked perfectly. Gravy was great and the red beans and rice side was awesome. All great flavors. Wife loved the chicken and dumplings, good flavor and tender chicken. She got a side of sweet potato casserole and loved it. I had a bite and it was delicious for certain. Step son had the fried catfish, he is not a big seafood eater but he absolutely loves the catfish. I had a big piece and it was cooked perfectly and tasted great as well. The staff was outstanding, the service was great and the food was excellent sans the cornbread. Ajax is a neat little diner in the heart of Oxford. It's a little pricey as is everything in this college town, but it was worth the visit.
