It was economical, too, so we had quality food while spending a reasonable amount of money. I had the catfish BLT, which was a simple catfish burger with the most basic ingredients. Yet the catfish itself was so tasty that I didn't even need ketchup or mayo for the burger. It was so seasoned that it definitely made the burger an enjoyable experience. My partner had the kingfish platter which was essentially catfish as well. But then there was a small cup of coleslaw that we both thought was the best we've had, mainly because they didn't use mayo but some kind of vinegar to supplement the taste. And then my partner had the deep fried pecan pie and I had a taste of it. Even though I am not even the biggest fan of pecan pie, I really enjoyed that one and I think it was because the deep fried aspect along with whipped cream complemented the gelatinous material in pecan pies (don't know how to call it). There was music 365 days a week in the club, and particularly we were there during the annual Sunflower River Blues & Gospel Festival, so it was extra special. There were visitors all over the world attending the festival and many great bands played in the club. The amount of mess on the walls in the club speaks to the historically and culturally rich aspect of this club and of this town. Definitely a 5 star experience.

Before we could enter the restaurant, however, we had to wade through all the smokers littering the entrance. Cough! We sat down at a table we chose along the perimeter across from the band. I wish I knew the name of the band, but it was a 3 piece band with a female singer, her son on the guitar, and another guy playing drums. They were good. She sang a song she wrote called the Delta. Great lyrics! My husband and I both ordered the French toast with a hash brown on the side. It took forever and honestly, I was getting a little concerned about all the people who kept coming in and out from outside and into what seemed the kitchen area. Our food arrived and it had great presentation and generous portions. Real French bread used! It was very good! After our meal, the female band leader as well as the owner of the restaurant came over to chat. Very friendly and nice conversation with all. Sadly, when we arrived home from our long drive, let's just say, the food did not sit well in our stomach. It was the only meal we had before arriving home. Another restaurant meal I have to pray was prepared with love.

This is not exactly an edge of the cotton fieldjuke joint, but it does nicely for being on the banks of the Mississippi river. I remember when this place was also a bait house and blues joint . Catfish, Gasper goo, sold by the front door. Eat the fish outside. So if you consider yourself a blues lover. There's lots of other juke joints you can visit. So if you're going to the crossroads, you might as well hang out at the Walnut Street blues and Bath House club. Be well with your trip.

First let me say that The Blue Levee is worth the drive. My wife and I along with our road tripping…read moredining partners drove almost 2 hours to give The Blue Levee a try. It did not disappoint. We arrived about 12:10 and there were lots of pickups in the parking lot which is always a good indicator of good food. The sign out front said " we cook with love and bacon grease". There was no turning back after reading that sign. They have a daily lunch buffet or you can order off the menu. Three of us had the fried chicken which was crispy and seasoned like grandma's. One had the Poppy Seed chicken which they said was good and creamy over rice. Rice with gravy that was OK. The veggie offerings were green beans( cooked with bacon grease), home cooked cabbage( did I mention bacon grease), yams( sweet and seasoned). The veggies were definitely cooked with that " love and bacon grease". Now, the fried chicken. It was currently swimming in the deep fryer as we got our other offering and headed to our booth. One of the amazingly, sweet ladies brought us a platter of "right out of the fryer" chicken that was just about as good as I've had. The coup de gras was the Southern corn bread. One of the ladies serving our plates(large platters) stated that she wasn't bragging but the corn bread was pretty good. That was an understatement. Her cornbread was pure perfection. Easily would make the cornbread hall of fame and any grandma proud to claim as her own. This was down home soul food. Food was hot and tasty, the tea was sweet(as it should be), and the service was amazing. These ladies were sweeter than the tea and very attentive. The inside decor reminds you that you are in the Mississippi Delta, home of the Blues. I wouldn't have it any other way. We will be back. It was definitely worth the drive.
