What a lucky find! I found this place on the Vicksburg visitor's sight. What drew me here was that they have a live band playing on Tuesdays. The band was scheduled to be on at 8, but they didn't get started until around 9. We came in at around 7 to eat dinner before the show. When we got there, there was only a handful of people there. We ordered ourselves catfish sandwiches and a salad. The fried catfish strips were huge! Way bigger than we expected. Now, I'm not keen on fried food, but this was really good! It wasn't too greasy and lightly salted. Our catfish sandwich was less than $5, which was way cheaper than what we were used to paying. Their bottled beers were only $2, but they only had Budweiser, Michelob, and Miller. Still, it's $2 a bottle, you can't beat that.
The restaurant got a lot busier as the night progresses. By the time the band came on, it was full. The music was a mix of jazz and R&B. The music was very, very loud. Luckily, my bf showed me how to make some makeshift earplugs which helped a lot. Once I had my earplugs on, the music was way, way more enjoyable. We didn't intend on staying so long, but we didn't leave until midnight, as my bf was enjoying the music tremendously. The highlight of the night was when the lead vocalist had her husband, who, as she mentioned, was a member of the Temptations come and sing a few songs. He had my bf, who is a music teacher, completely enthralled.
I highly recommend LD's Kitchen if you're looking for a cheap dinner and drinks. And if you want to hear some live music, be sure to stop by on Tuesday night. read more
