I ordered the catfish with sides of fried okra and squash casserole, along with jalapeño corn bread, paired with w local beer. Everything was delicious but the catfish was a standout for me, perfect amount of coating seasoned well and the filet was thick and tender. I also really enjoyed the corn bread and okra. The squash was recommended by a friend, and it was tasty but not my favorite. My kids enjoyed their burgers & fries and my husband had the shrimp po boy, which he liked. We were too full for dessert. The service was very friendly, but not fussy. The ambiance is casual, and there was no wait to get in on a regular Tuesday night (I imagine game day might be crazy), you just seat yourself. Saw many folks in there with younger kids, so it looked friendly for all ages.

Heard we had to try Ajax, the diner, not the soap. We stopped in for lunch before heading to Nashville airport to come home. The diner is about what you'd expect inside. Old, kitschy and full of decor. We sat in a booth an were greeted by a waitress promptly for drink orders. Cokes and waters. They deliver the coke in a neat Ajax cup. I ordered the chicken fried steak. Wife ordered the chicken and dumplings and step son ordered catfish. Everything arrived very quickly and everything was hot and southern deliciousness, except the corn bread. The corn bread was dry and not very good at all. Pretty sure it was yesterday's leftover bread or someone needs to pull it 5 minutes sooner from the oven. Unanimous at the table, Everton e had garb corn bread. No big deal. The chicken fried steak was full of flavor and cooked perfectly. Gravy was great and the red beans and rice side was awesome. All great flavors. Wife loved the chicken and dumplings, good flavor and tender chicken. She got a side of sweet potato casserole and loved it. I had a bite and it was delicious for certain. Step son had the fried catfish, he is not a big seafood eater but he absolutely loves the catfish. I had a big piece and it was cooked perfectly and tasted great as well. The staff was outstanding, the service was great and the food was excellent sans the cornbread. Ajax is a neat little diner in the heart of Oxford. It's a little pricey as is everything in this college town, but it was worth the visit.

I'm a sucker for an old school themed diner, so this was an easy choice. The atmosphere while small, was warm and inviting. Sit where you will, and they'll come to you. Enjoy classic style diner burgers, sandwiches, and I think I even saw some shakes. Lots of typical automobile type memorabilia on the walls, intermingled with real pictures from perhaps family, locals, etc. Good service, and reasonable prices. I had the Foghorn Leghorn Chicken Sandwich.

I always seem to forget about it when I travel through New Albany or I will show up and they are closed. It took C driving me here to finally make it in. I like to make stops in NA to visit Sugarees Bakery around the corner. I wrote them a 5 star review a couple weeks ago, but the Mods pulled it because they said I knew her. I hate that. They even pulled down decade old pictures as well. I digress.... But wanted to vent. No one cares. The day we came to eat it was packed inside. They had a big flow of to go orders along with every seat at the bar filled. We got lucky and slid in right as someone was leaving. Score! They seem to know almost everyone that comes in and their normal order. Love that shit! They sell something called a "Dough Burger". It's similar to a "Slug Burger" in the fact that it has stuff in it that cuts the amount of actual meat that is in it. This was a descendant of what poor folks were eating during war times I believe. Now for me, I would rather eat all beef rather than whatever the stuff is they put in there as a substitute. It's a simple place with great burgers. I have only had a burger and fries so I cannot speak to anything else. Now that it's on the radar mentally, I will run around the menu. Inside its lime time stood still and the world did not progress past 1982. This is so great and I am so in love with the whole vibe man. Food is great, god is good, let us thank him for making hamburgers food! They are well seasoned and cooked properly. You can't order by temp, but it's gonna be a juicy burger!! You bet your ass on that!! It has a unique taste to the meat. I think I know, but need to try it again to see if I can guess the spices. Buns are soft and they use the only cheese that should come on a burger, American, of course!! Look out for more pics of delicious foods from here!! Feel free to pick me up a bacon cheeseburger if you stop by without me. '25 - 110/111

Such a quaint restaurant with amazing staff that made us feel right at home. We tried the dough burger, onion rings and tots! All exceptional! They even cut our dough burgers up so we could each try some- one plain and one with pickle, onion and mustard. The Elvis booth wasn't available at first, we stuck around for a while and it was soon vacated, the waitress let us go over and sit, taking our picture... again, service, food and atmosphere were so wonderful! Highly recommend adding this stop to your road trip of Elvis!!

They even have a sign at one table where Elvis ate. Walking in, it is a tiny place, but it has a cool enough ambiance. The place is filled with Elvis memorabilia. So, they are known for their dough burger. A dough burger is basically a burger that uses flour to stretch out the meat and can be sold for cheaper. I figured that I would give it a try. I also got a cheeseburger and onion rings. The total for my whole meal was under ten dollars before the tip. The food was pretty good. Nothing great, but definitely good. The only rings could have used more salt. The cheeseburger was decent and a better choice than a national fast-food chain like McDonald's or Burger King. I'm glad that I tried a dough burger and it was okay, but I preferred the all-meat burger. I would definitely recommend here. It is a piece of Tupelo, Mississippi's history and they definitely embrace the Elvis connection.
