The Old Barn. If you are in town looking for a great steak. It’s worth the 15 minute drive.
Sips. They have moved to a food truck setup, but it’s still top notch. Other food trucks rotate in and out.
The Half Shell. Very good and always consistent food. If you like Oysters this is the place.
Hooks BBQ. The best BBQ around the area. Oh and the pound cake!!
Troy’s Juicy Crab. I’ve not eaten here, but the people that have highly recommend it.
Julia’s. Hands down on Sunday morning. You won’t go wrong there.

All of the Tex-Mex wannabes in town serve refried beans, yellow rice, tacos etc. Some favor Rodeo for the margaritas others recommend Troy Mexican up on the corner of George Wallace and US231. There's also Los Hermanos and Monarca's, refried beans etc. (You can catch the Free Game shuttles at Courtyard and Hampton Inn motels down the lane from Rodeo and Trojan Mexican. Shuttles run more or less, every 15 minutes from 2 hours pregame and return post game.) For AUTHENTIC Latino food, try Valencia Latino Tienda & Cafe located in the small strip plaza just between Walgreens and Express Oil Change. Won't impress you from the highway but a quaint Latino Grocery with superb, authentic dishes and a daily special. HOOK'S BBQ, mentioned above, has excellent homemade BBQ sauces, my fave is the hot sauce! Even great on the fries. B. Graves, downtown on the square is a bit high-end but has a fine bar with good selection of wines. Salads are excellent and Chef-prepared entrees are usually quite good. Reservations required on Game weekends due to limited space, 334-770-0333. For Japanese Hibachi and Sushi, Mikada's south of town on 231 is generally good, decent atmosphere, full bar and ample parking.

Has anyone been to the new Francesca's at the corner of Elm and 3 Notch? Yes. Several times. Boring. I tried the Italian Sausage dish year or so ago with onions, peppers etc.... Conecuh or Kelly's smoked Sausage.

Has anyone been to the new Francesca's at the corner of Elm and 3 Notch? Ignore Cornhole, his waist size shows he does not know good food. It's fantastic and that's why I listed it. The shrimp wanton appetizer is the best app in Troy. The Pasta Yanni is ridiculous and fried ravioli is worth all the calories!!

Coming up for the Army game and are planning on going to Hooks. Is Crowes's chicken still in business? The only Crowe's still frying is in Brundidge. It was the best of the Crowe's anyhow. Churche's Fried Chicken is in the approx US231 location of the former Crowe's.

The Pasta Yanni is ridiculous and fried ravioli is worth all the calories!! cornhole a bit older, wiser and travel wider & farther than man who sale air to unsuspecting Trojans. Wanton from Italy?? doubt. Like Italian sausage from Elba. Yanni confuse?? HE said it, Pasta yanni IS ridiculous and overprice!! And then there's the fried ravioli. What a waste of good oil. Yanni never heard of chicken?? And Francesca sale Alabama wine, ONLY. Conecuh River best local spirit. And cornhole waist?? oxyman jealous. Listen to Ole cornhole. Yanni a neighbor and good Greek Man. Greek HATE Italian neighbor over there.

THE Scoop, by joshboutwell www.troymessenger.com/2023/11/06/santa-fe-of-troy-closes-its-doors/No surprise here. Santa Fe never recovered from the double-whammy of losing Victor (Former Mr. Ho owner) and COVID. I suspect Baumhower's is the final nail in their coffin... RIP Santa Fe, Troy. Just a great location/opportunity for someone who can MANAGE a diner.

A Troy game without Hooks is not an option for my family. Great food Hooks has some competition at the corner of Three Notch & US231 and I understand another BBQ diner is coming to Troy. We too, love Hooks BBQ but not a place that I'd spend a lot of time in.

I’ve eaten in Troy twice in the past 5 days…once at a franchise (Baumhower’s) once at a locally owned joint (The Half Shell). If the type of food you want is that represented by the menu of these places, they can’t be beat. Now if you don’t want seafood or wings and burgers type fare, they aren’t the place for you.

I’m going to miss this place.

It is too great of location to not have a top quality restaurant located at that site.
