Bovina Cafe - Eating area - Cafes Near Me - Vicksburg, Mississippi

Good hole in the wall restaurant. My colleague brought me here and immediately recognized how Southern it is. Definitely some home cooked southern meals over here. I believe they change the menu daily, but the day I came in they had chicken and gravy. The chicken and gravy were a bit too salty, but the overall experience was great. Friendly staff, and I just love supporting these types of businesses. You get to choose one meat, three sides, dessert, and a tea. I would recommend if you want a southern homecooked meal. read more

Good Southern cooking at reasonable prices. Southern dishes in a rustic setting. Home town service with a smile

The best service with the cheapest/ best food in town. Any bad reviews is someone who doesn't know good country food! Please stop and give it a try the Philly cheese steak and turnips greens with cornbread is my favorite. It's home type environment with the best food in miles read more

You like blue plates? Great. You'll love this place. This hole in the wall is open from the crack of dawn to 2 PM. Very friendly staff. Drop a $10 bill on the counter and you get to choose 1 meat, 3 veggies, a tea, and a dessert. Make sure it's a ten dollar bill though, because they only take cash. The veggie plates are $7. They have the same menu weekly menu that changes daily. In other words, every Monday has the same dish and so on... Check their Facebook to find what they are serving that day. If they know you, and recognize you, they give you two cornbreads instead of one. The meat loaf was good. Everything else would probably taste the same from the frozen food aisle. Again, CASH ONLY. Vicksburg, Please assist me in "Bringing the internet" to this town by adding your own review as well as pictures of the menu. Thanks! read more

When I cam to Mississippi, I yearned for some good ol' southern cooking. Traveling around the Vicksburg area, I have been disappointed time and time again. Then I heard about a place in Bovina called Bovina Cafe. They say to bring cash and don't judge it by the outer appearance. So I walked into the 70's esque diner with their orange and yellow decor and pick my meal, 1 meat, 3 veggies, tea, salad and a dessert. It was kind of cafeteria style with everything pre-prepared and ready to be served on plates. I then got my salad and sweet tea , then sat down and began to eat. I'm not a monk, but upon eating the ALL HOMEMADE FOOD , I was enlightened to a place I have never known. With each bite of my chicken fingers, cream corn, green beans, and mashed potatoes, I felt at peace with the world and myself. If I had a grandma that lived in the south, I'm sure the food would be similar in quality and love. After I finished, I went to get my homemade pie, and my inner peace was complete. Extremely delicious. I will definitely go back, and I will tell the world about this place. The definition of Southern cooking is found at Bovina Cafe. It has the love, the passion, and the quality that we all look for in the south. It is also one of the few restaurants that has an "A"rating from the food commission which gives me confidence that this is a well run family business. Also, it is only open M-F 5am to 2:30pm. 5/5 will come back. read more

Ima be honest. You pay a lot for food that's so so and you don't get a lot of it. Nice folks. I'd go for breakfast and that's about it.

FYI: Cash only place, but worth it to skip over to the gas station and grab some. Great hometown cooking and hospitality. From being welcomed when you walk int to a nice thank you when you leave. Could not be happier with my overall experience. When coming through I will defiantly stop back by. read more

What an experience- Mississippi down to the bone in Warren County's second city. Mud splattered pickup trucks in the rutted dirt parking lot are your first clue. Old school doesn't get any older than this- smiling Grandmas behind the school cafeteria style steam tables and so much food piled on a plate you may have a hard time getting to a table with it. This is American country kitchen food. I had the beef tips and gravy, greens, mac and cheese, sponge cake, sweet tea. So good. Leave your high falutin' food ideas back in the city, this is Mississippi down home cooking- indeed this is the real deal. Bring an appetite. read more

Excellent value and good food. They swap from breakfast to lunch at 10:00 ish. You can dine in or carry out. Their menu changes daily. I had the beef tips and gravy with butter beans, creamed corn, and coconut pie. It was large portions and filled me up for about 12 bucks. I love this place. read more

Delicious home cooking! Ms Evelyn and the ladies never meet a stranger, make you feel like you're sitting down at their kitchen table for dinner! Very generous portions too! read more

Stopped in for a quick breakfast and we loved it!!! 2 eggs, grits, sausage and a biscuit and sweet tea for $5??? Yes please!! And it was so good!!! The perfect southern home cooking we were looking for when we crossed into Mississippi. Thanks Bovina Cafe!!!! read more

What a shame. I have eaten here for years. This place used to be a great southern home style plate lunch prepared by some older ladies who were awesome cooks with attention to every detail. Sadly they are gone and so is the quality of basically everything. I'm not even going into details on my last and final visit as the one star says it all. What is really depressing is that there used to be numerous great southern/soul food places to eat in Mississippi. They are now few and far between and there is a great demand for them as evidenced by the large crowds at the few that are left. Oh well, the future looks bleak. There's always McAdues and some greasy fries. read more

I stopped because of the ratings it had on Yelp, but now I believe either the owners or their relatives must have written them. There was plenty and the banana pudding was good but that's Sally's I can say good so I won't say anything else read more

Bring cash and an appetite. Stopped in for lunch while traveling. Didn't have cash. Was invited to eat first and then go get cash at the gas station across the street or just drop it off next time I could. Being from philly, that was gonna be a while. Lunch was either Jambalaya or beef tips, choice of 7-8 sides. All of the food is homemade and just so good, I had to post. I chose the jambalaya - and while not a southerner, I have traveled enough to appreciate great food. This had the perfect balance of spices, plenty of shrimp and seafood and the portion was large. Decor is simple and clean. Thank you for such a wonderful experience. Decor is simple read more

Great food and people. One of my local favorites. Make sure to bring cash and appetite. Open Monday through Friday 5am to 230
