Oxford’s own Family Diner is our go-to for a seriously satisfying sit-down breakfast.

This diner makes a fantastic lunch, too! (Fried chicken, anyone?) And be sure to order a slice of their scrumptious lemon chess pie for dessert. Bonus: if you prefer to give your stylish new F-150 Lightning a well-earned day off, the Family Diner delivers within 7 miles.

Not to mention savory options like creamy spinach quiche and breakfast sandwiches served on fresh-baked biscuits or flaky croissants. Don’t be surprised if a line forms early!

While you’re there, grab a bag of Strong Arm’s famous southern-style cheese straws, made with European butter, Tillamook, and Cabot extra sharp cheddar, and just a dash of cayenne. They will have you snacking all day long!
