Title: Rama Jama's
Post by: 2Stater on April 05, 2020, 07:27:31 AM
Anybody in the T-Town area, please order some take-out from Rama Jama's. I think Gary may be having a tough go of it, and it's sad, because he's been feeding a lot of the community, including DCH and Law Enforcement.

I'm posting this here so it will get more exposure.

I read an article recently and another guy was quoted as being the owner.   Said he bought it a couple years ago.

Gary Lewis sold it to a guy from New York a couple of years ago.

That transaction was never completed. Gary is still the owner.

Someone should tell the new owner. This link is to an article dated 3/25/20 and it says Michael Hebron is the owner and bought Rama Jama in 2017.

Looks to be a police officer, NALT.   You'd better behave.

It's all good Doc.  I'm 3+ hours from Rama Jama's and have no plans to go there...  8)

Anybody in the T-Town area, please order some take-out from Rama Jama's. I think Gary may be having a tough go of it, and it's sad, because he's been feeding a lot of the community, including DCH and Law Enforcement.

I'm posting this here so it will get more exposure.

The University is like a ghost town now so I can imagine his business is suffering. I read the post about the ownership of the place and I'm not sure of who the owner is now. Gary told me once that the new owner had asked him to stay with him until he could learn the business but that has been a very long period of time. I haven't seen him at DCH making deliveries in a long time. Maybe I can go by there and see if he is there and maybe chat for a while.

I feel bad for the local restaurants. If this goes on much longer many will never recover. And many of the restaurants in Tuscaloosa are going to struggle with students out of town until the Fall at the earliest.

Fortunately we’re doing well. Being the masters of the drive-through game is working in our favor at this time.

I don’t eat out often for financial and weight reasons, but I was just looking at the menu for a nearby meat-and-three and thinking I’d pick something up from them today to help them out a little.

AL.com has another good story about Rama Jama's including how locals and ex-Bama players have helped out.   Looks like they're ready to put their show on the road with a traveling hot dog cart.

Very interesting. I still don't know what Gary's role is there. I guess I need to call him and find out.
