Open since 1996, their iconic all-day breakfast menu has people coming back for more. Featuring a variety of sandwiches, shakes, breakfast foods and more—Rama Jama’s is now a staple for many Crimson Tide fans.

“What I’m buying is a breakfast-luncheonette kind of place, with a lot of really cool memorabilia, and it’s across the street from my happy place.”
