Always rated the top independent bookstore in the United States, one step inside and you'll understand why. It's easy to get lost in the number of books. They have a kids store at Square Books Jr and additional space at Off Square Books. A real treat for the whole family!

My Favorite Restaurants
These are a few of my favorite places to dine around town.
My favorite is the rigatoni and their homemade bread "wild style". The owners are absolutely amazing. If you make reservations ahead of time you can even schedule a chef's tasting. A true treat for any occasion! No excuse needed for a night at Tarasque. It is also available for delivery on Landshark Delivery if you feel like having a lazy night in!

My personal favorite is the veggie plate - mac and cheese, fried okra, and butter beans. Also the country fried steak is pretty amazing. Ajax is perfect for a big lunch followed by a nap!

We love the turkey and cheddar croissants as well as the massive cinnamon roll large enough for the entire family. Go early because the lines form fast!

If you are up for a little cooking or want some pre-prepared food, I highly suggest Chicory Market. It is a farmer market store but so much more. They spicy feta dip is amazing. A few topo chicos and the chorizo from homeplace pastures makes the very best taco night. They usually have the smokeshop out front smoking brisket and other barbecue. It is really a one-stop shop.

This stop is a little bit out of the way but DEFINITELY worth the drive. Located in Sardis, MS, TriBecca Allie is about 30 minutes or so from Oxford. It is right on your way if you are headed towards Memphis on I-55. All of their pizzas are amazing, but we especially love the en salata pizza. It's BYOB so pack a small cooler and enjoy an amazing meal. It is perfect for lunch or dinner. Check the calendar before hand on their website to make sure they are open if you are traveling during the week.

Saint Leo is amazing for wood-fired pizzas in the heart of The Square. They don't take reservations so on busy weekends be prepared for a little bit of wait. Our favorites: farinata, white beans (even if they aren't on the menu.. they are ON the menu), burrata and soppressata pizza. They recently opened up a lounge just down the street if you are up for a few cocktails before dinner or just want a casual spot to relax with friends.

Snackbar has been a long time favorite for us and the truffle frites are one of the reasons why. The head chef was recently awarded the James Beard Award so you can count on a delicious dinner. They accept reservations, but you can always sit at the bar and the oyster bar without one.
