I could be wrong but I believe everything is fried. Fried chicken, fried potatoes on a stick, fried smoked sausage biscuits, fried pies but its freaking delicious. Seasoned well, hot and fresh. Fast, friendly,efficient customer service and its reasonably priced. Its just a gas station that has been cooking food for ages, a neighborhood staple. They have fountain drinks, slushies, several flavors and some delicious southern sweet tea.. ummkay bye

I chose yams, fried okra, and a roll. I also ordered a side of fries. The food was wonderful! Seasoned just right. The chicken was fried perfectly! The fried okra had a slight kick to it, which is right up my alley. The roll had a sweetness to it, like there's a cinnamon sugar glaze on it or something. It was really good and not too sweet. I will most definitely be back!

From the outside it basically is a block building, but inside it is a food haven that appeals to your taste buds. I ordered a cheeseburger with fries, and 'sweet tea' on the side. The previous night I had eaten somewhere in Collierville that didn't offer 'sweet tea' and they looked at me like they were unfamiliar with the term. Thankfully, just across the border in Mississippi, my love for the South was reaffirmed. The service was excellent and was just the friendly, polite, fast attention to my needs that I would expect from a local dive. After all, we treat people like family in the South; until they give us reason not to! The atmosphere was pleasant with a family feel, clean, well lit, and no music blaring. My waitress was attentive, positive, and quick to see to my needs while dining. My food arrived and it was delicious. The bun was perfect, the burger better than even I could have hoped, and the service remained excellent. They had quite an array of desserts, but after the sweet tea, I didn't imbibe. If you are ever in Olive Branch, MS you must try '1836 DeSoto!'
