If in Vicksburg - Gumbo Pot with a large bread pudding. Eat there every time I'm in town.
Also Wings at Key City Brewing down on Washington St.
Indeed it is. Watched the Egg Bowl with the owners & Lee Greenwood at a BWW in Pigeon Forge. We won. God Bless The USA!
Project has the best burger. Just don’t expect to be able to see 6 inches in front of you
Their beer is ice cold and the ruby reds are good. Sometimes the music is. Service sucks.
They still got that commercial?
We used to go there on Friday nights a bunch when we were at state. Haven’t been there since though.
The one time I went to fill in station I was not impressed. Could be just that it was lunch and hot as hell. I also thought that that Brooklyn Pizzeria was okay.
I’m going to have to stop there next time through. I’ve seen the signs just never been a good time to pull off and stop
I have family that lives near Nails and Wades, both places are awesome. I didn't know McAnerneys was still open.
These are really as much Ice Creams shops as restaurants, but Spencers in Grenada and Staffords in West Point. Also two more hidden gems in Grenada, Carmellas (the best cheese sticks you'll find) and Orleans Bistro.
When in Gulfport, El Aguila on Teagarden road was a very nice surprise. Great top shelf margaritas and veggie options for the vegetarian wife.
I'll raise your underground with the best underground and best pizza ever
Underground Pizza in Hattiesburg

The few times I've been there, the Fillin station has been really good, solid, and mediocre. Not sure if they are inconsistent or if it's just based on whether I ordered well or not.
Brooklyn's is really good pretty much every time I've been there. That said, it's hard to really distinguish yourself with pizza, so I get it not living up to expectations based on the way people talk about it.
Love the Side Street "Fat Panda"..........have you tried the Chatter Box out at Red Banks?
I went recently and while it is good, and Zips deserves no disrespect, it is not close to the best burger in MS. I will go back when I pass through as it’s a cool little MS dive and I like it. The blue plate lunches I saw going out looked good as well.
Lot of of Good Places listed
A few from the coast that I think are good but haven’t been mentioned.
Harbor View Cafe Long Beach
Pizza and wings from Uncle Joes back of Diamondhead.
Dat Kitchen Too in Waveland
Love gumbo pot in Vicksburg.
Steaks were good at beechwood but the smoke in the bar area would kill you.
Covid has hurt a lot of restaurants. Some places just haven’t been the same since or closed for good.

The Cafe on 49S directly across from Camp Shelby Southgate. You will NEVER get as much food for your money as you will there. 1 serving of Red Beans and Rice was $9 and I had 3 meals off of it. Ordered a sweet tea and the lady gave me a cup and a half gallon jug to take home.
Around Shelby it's referred to as "Sister's Cafe" or "2 Sisters" but the sign only says cafe. Apparently its 2-3 sisters who grew up in NOLA while their parents (and eventually them) ran a swanky restaurant in downtown

If you want to sound like you know what you’re talking about but want people that actually know the food business totally dismiss your opinion, just say “Sysco food” as it’s some sort of diss. Every restaurant you named has an account from Sysco, Performance Food Group, or US Foods. Just like when you visit the grocery store, you can buy ****, or you can buy high-end food. Food purveyors are no different. And if you’re inferring that there is a single buffet in this state buying high-end groceries for the lowest of low profit margins in the restaurant business, I’ve got beachfront property for you in Idaho. Both Mama Hamil’s and Berry’s are MS gems in the buffet game that do an incredible job.
The Blue Canoe is owned by the same folks so you can get it there in a better atmosphere. They set it up to be a Juke Joint.
So many of my favorite places have suffered too much from covid and I hesitate to list all of my favorite places because someone will comment they are closed, and learning that will hurt my feelings. Covid killed many so many good places.
