    My boyfriend and I stopped at Ajax on a recent trip through the south. We had read about it online and were excited to try out some real southern food. He ordered the meatloaf and I the catfish plate. The meatloaf was VERY rich, I don't think either of us cared for it. My catfish was probably the best I have ever had, really well seasoned and moist. The squash dish was excellent. I have heard good things about the grits, but I think grits are just something that yankees can't get used to, neither of us liked them. Ajax was worth the stop, the portions are HUGE though, even at lunch, so sharing might be advised.

    I was in Oxford in November 2008 and the second day we were there we tried Ajax Diner, we ended up eating there every day we were there. I am from California and have lived in the South in the seventy's. By far Ajax Diner has the best southern food I have ever eaten. On a scale of one to ten this is a ten. If I ever get there again you have my business.

    We recently took a day trip to Oxford and really enjoyed it. The meal at Ajax was one of the highlights. The food was reasonably priced and had large portions. The service was fast and friendly. The ambience enjoyable. I got a meat plus two meal - roast beef and gravy as the meat, and I selected fried okra and sweet potato casserole as the sides. All of it was great. It also came with a large slice of jalapeno cornbread, which was one of the best things I've ever tasted. It's also cool just to eat at a restaurant located on Oxford's historic square. I seriously enjoyed it so much that I kind of want to take another day trip to Oxford just so I can eat there again.
