a plate of breakfast food
Aaron B.

Good restaurant. Went for breakfast and got 2 eggs, sausage and hash browns. Pro's: Food was decent. Nothing to get excited about but nothing to be mad about after you eat. Biscuits were pretty good. Didn't take long to get food. Cheap Con's: I wouldn't recommend getting pancakes. They don't taste that great. A lot of Confederate flag symbols everywhere inluding colonel Reb Mascots. I got breakfast potatoes when I ordered hash browns. Solid 3 out 5. Most likely won't be back because of the food and the Confederate symbols.

Staple in Oxford, MISSISSIPPI for breakfast for generations. The building is decades old and decorations remind you of Southern heritage complete with Rebel flags. Best place in Oxford for patty sausage and the bacon is well done as well. The toast is the way we like it (white, well-buttered, and toasted) but the biscuits are an acquired taste. The pancakes are what you'd expect as are the grits, which require some added sugar for taste. Overall a good breakfast experience whether you are a local or if you are in town for a visit. We come for the party sausage and toast.

This place was recommended by a local and a friend so we tried it out. Let me start by saying we loved the staff- they were very personable and were yelling back and forth across the rooms and to the kitchen! The restaurant is old and dated as are the tables, floor- basically everything- even the soap in the bathroom was the pink powdered type I remember In elementary school. Now for the food- I ordered the mushroom Burger and fries- I had basically no flavor- the waitress told me it had mayo, but it must have been miracle whip and the burger had no flavor at all- fries were equally tasteless- I dipped everything in ketchup (which I don't normally use). The Hubby has the special with hamburger steak with onions and gravy, mashed potatoes gravy and green beans- which had a lot of vinegar in them. Maybe the breakfast is good, but bless their hearts- this meal was not worthy of our stomach space.

Let me make this easy. This restaurant has been here since 1959. If you have been around in business that long you've got to be doing something right. I had breakfast here last week for the first time in years. I ordered eggs with hash browns and toast. It was cheap and tasted good. The waitress called me baby several times. Your coffee mug or drink glass never gets empty before it's refilled. It's a place where locals and smart college students eat shunning the higher profile and fancier restaurants in town. It's open for breakfast and lunch. Yes, it's a greasy spoon restaurant that you want to come to. Go back in the Rebel Room and you will be transported back to the 1960's with the decor. Stay in the front dining room and you will feel like you are in the 1970's. Places like this are a dying breed. Go transport yourself back in time and enjoy!

Lacking in atmosphere, could use an update, but the staff is friendly and the biscuits and gravy were really good!

Southern Coop in Oxford has some of my favorite fries in the area! My partner and I usually share…read morethe Western Ranch Fries, which come loaded with bacon, cheese, ranch, and BBQ sauce, and we add a fried chicken tender on top and remove the jalapeños. The portions are HUGE, so it's definitely something we can share and have plenty to eat. The prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get. I've also ordered the kids' chicken tender meal before, and honestly, it was more than enough food for me. They recently moved to a new location and now have an indoor golf simulator that you can reserve, which is a fun addition and makes it more than just a place to grab something to eat. Definitely one of our go-to spots in Oxford!

The southern coop, located on the outskirts of Oxford. Private parking lot and ample parking…read morethat's well lit. Stopped into the souther coop tonight for dinner. It's a small place, seemed someone chain-sequencer I don't know that. I was looking for a local owned place and thought this was it. Dunno if it was the right choice but here goes. Started out with a coors light and bbq chicken nachos. The entree was bbq chicken and bacon sandwich with fries. The nachos were delicious. Sweet bbq sauce, good chunks of chicken and the chips were light and airy. The cheese sauce was legit and full of flavor as well. A 10/10 for the nachos. The sandwich was good, as were the fries. Plenty of meat and the fries were hot, just how I like them. The service was good, nobody actually waits on you, you order at a counter and they bring you your food. That's it. You police your own trash when you're done. Overall, this really wasn't what I was looking for. I was looking for a locally owned mom and pop type place. Something that didn't have the chain vibe. This is kinda a sports bar with food ish. They have some golf simulators and televisions. While the food was good, for me, it's a pass on a second visit when I come back to Ole Miss. No offense, it's just not what I was seeking.
