After living in Oxford, Mississippi, for almost 14 years, it can sometimes feel like I’ve exhausted everything our town has to offer—especially on the culinary scene. I’ve worked in special events for over six years and in the food service industry directly and indirectly during that time, but food has remained a personal and professional passion. I have compiled for the new-to-Oxford and the settled some inside scoop of 15 food bites for under $15, making living deliciously more affordable than ever.

GRIT Taylor
GRIT blessed the Oxford culinary scene with a familiar and approachable, yet upscale, option just outside of the city limits in Taylor, Mississippi. With budget-friendly lunch options ($9–12) and larrupin’ rotating small plates ($11–15), you’ll be begging owners Angie Sicurezza and Nick Reppond for a heads-up on the next menu rollout date. Don’t miss GRIT’s Buck-A-Shuck dollar oyster special on Wednesdays!
