Niffer’s Place, Multiple locations

This three-location Alabama favorite has dubbed their colossal burgers the Niffasauras family. Take your pick of up to four half-pound patties, then top it with four types of cheeses, a fried egg, bacon, and a sourdough bun. You also get a side item of your choice to complete your meal, as if the burger itself wasn’t enough.

Rattlesnake Saloon, Tuscumbia, AL

This funky little watering hole is known for its one-of-a-kind locale under a rock (literally!), but their biggest claim to fame is the Gigantor. This meal was designed to feed a family of four, featuring two pounds of ground beef on a bun, a whole pound of French fries, a half pound of onion rings, and a pitcher of your choice of drink. Finish it by yourself in under 45 minutes and get it for free!

Original Oyster House, Gulf Shores, AL

If you can’t get enough seafood, this dish is for you! They’ve combined all your favorite ocean fare, including fried shrimp, seafood gumbo, flounder, oysters, stuffed crabs, and a crab cake into a single seafood platter. Now that’s a LOT of food for just one person!

Mugshots Grill & Bar, Birmingham, AL

Their Mugshot burger is headline worthy. With three patties, six pieces of bacon, cheese, condiments, toppings, and a heaping helping of beer-battered fries and a fried pickle. You’ve got 12 minutes to finish it and it’s free—fail and it’s $25. 

Acme Oyster House, Gulf Shores, AL

If you love oysters, this place is for you! Make your attempt to join their 15 Dozen Club, which requires you to eat 15 dozen oysters in a single sitting. If you’re successful, you only pay half the price ($15.99 per dozen is their current value!).

The Downtown Grill, Cullman, AL

There are two servings of Big Food goodness happening here. The first is a burger that increases in size every time someone completes the challenge. Right now, the record is nine patties with cheese and your choice of toppings. The other is a wing challenge that uses the hottest sauce you’ll ever taste. 

Vitolli’s Pizzeria & Italian Eatery, Robertsdale, AL

They call it a Grand Party Pizza, but no one’s going to judge you if you keep it all for yourself. This massive 28-inch pizza is a sight to behold, featuring as many as eight toppings of your choosing. The price for this bad boy ranges from $30 to $40, depending on how many toppings you choose.
