    Historical landmark.
    Serra S.

    Home cooked food made with love and fresh ingredients. Mile high meringue pies, ice box pies, and house baked cakes that tower forever made in-house by Tori. The meals come with a hearty beef vegetable soup. I had the Sesame chicken salad and 1/2 a Ruben. Very flavorful and filling. Warm friendly service accommodates special requests, mix and match sandwiches, or 1/2 orders of their amazing deserts. A lot of daily regulars enjoying their lunch with the staff knowing their customers names and orders. Very comfortable shabby chic farm house dining like you're eating in your Maw Maws kitchen. A must try house-made blueberry lemonade.

    Mammy's is a very unique establishment given that you are dining in the dress of a very large woman. The skin color of the lady has been lightened which appears to be an attempt to be less offensive so I guess they're trying right? Putting that aside, it is a unique atmosphere in which to dine. That being said, the inside of the restaurant feels like you're at your grandma's kitchen table. Very quaint and no frills. The restaurant is open for lunch only so get in early so they don't run out of specials as it's a small restaurant and popular with locals. The food is southern country home cooking which is certainly not fine dining but has its merits. The Reuben is VERY good and when you order they allow you to do half portions so you can try multiple options which I love. The desserts are where mammy consistently shines.. All the pies are amazing. Also, our server was lovely and accommodating to any and all requests which she told us from the beginning. We loved the service and tipped above 20% bc it made our lunch so great. I would definitely stop at Mammy's if you're passing through Natchez at least to say that you did!

    Excellent stop before starting the Natchez Trace drive. They're only open till two so plan for lunch. Our server, Lewis, I think, was full of information about the restaurant, the area, and local history. His daughter is also a server, and his wife cooks. We had a sesame chicken salad sandwich and half a PBJ/ half a grilled cheese. All were served on thick sliced, fresh baked sourdough. All were delicious! Each plate came with homemade vegetable soup and either potato salad or house salad with homemade dressing. Again- delicious. We shared a dessert, scrumptious banana caramel pie and had blueberry lemonade which was very refreshing. Not only was lunch tasted and quickly made but the stories and structure were epic! Do yourself a favor and make this your number one lunch stop when visiting Natchez!

    A sliver of coconut meringue and chocolate meringue pie. Excellent.

    Had the Wednesday special which was roasted rosemary chicken with a brown sauce, rice, a small side salad, and broccoli cornbread. Everything tasted very well really thought this was a true southern experience. The broccoli cornbread threw me until I tasted it, since I like broccoli, I thought it was very good. The chicken was tender the gravy was perfect so all in all the main meal was very good. We also sample two slices of pie a coconut meringue and chocolate meringue and was given a small slice of lemon meringue to even things up. All three were excellent, but my favorite turned out to be the lemon meringue.

    Homestyle cooking, taste was good! Liked the Turkey sandwich! Cool building. Located just outside of town

    Roast turkey and chicken salad sandwiches with all the fixings. Peanut butter and banana Carmel pie slices

    Outstanding and off the beaten path this place is a must stop for tourists and locals. Food is delicious but it is only open for three hours and there is a great deal of takeout orders from the across the bridge crowd. Come hungry and you won't be disappointed

    Food and service was excellent! My rueben was SO tasty- meat tender and cheese and sauce really good. Side salad had homemade dressing and it also came with soup! GET's Special of the Day Pork loin was really good. He loved the rice dressing and Southern style green beans. We took a piece of Hummingbird cake to-go (had never tasted Hummingbird cake!) for later and loved it! AND, of course the homey atmosphere of this unusual historic building was delightful!

    Founded in 1940, this restaurant is in the shape of a 28-foot-tall woman of color with a hoop skirt that houses the gift shop and dining room. It is so named because of the woman of color character in the move "Gone With The Wind". It has been remodeled and renovated several times and gone through many changes. It currently only serves lunch and desserts. The employees are quite friendly, the Reuben sandwich was good, as was the soup. The hummingbird cake (white cake with pineapples, bananas and nuts mixed in, cream cheese frosting, nut toppings) was fabulous. There is a surcharge on using a credit card to pay, though they do accept cash and checks. Inside was decorated for Halloween, and they had several gnomes. I am not sure I will be back. I had passed by in the past and not gone in. I don't even know what to really think.

    Wonderful staff, excellent food, fun little off the beaten path hole in the wall so to speak. The chicken salad sandwich and vegetables soup were perfect! The even give you a half slice of pie!

    We dined here for New Year's Eve. Making a reservation was a snap with Open Table…read more The restaurant encompasses most of the first floor of the Monmouth Home. The history is rich and the details are beautiful. For NYE, they did a four-course prefix dinner. Everything was delicious. They served complimentary bubbly rosé and each course was cooked to perfection. Our server, Dao, was fantastic. We really enjoyed dining by candlelight and closing out 2024 with such a wonderful experience.

    We were in town for a long weekend in Natchez and did a little research online and talked to some…read morelocals about where to have a great meal and the consensus was Restaurant 1818. The restaurant is located in the Monmouth Inn which is on a gorgeous property. I would highly suggest taking a stroll around after dinner to take it all in. The restaurant is upscale, but you would feel comfortable wearing business casual attire. DaVu was the manager who was incredibly kind and the service was on par with restaurants in larger cities, but in a small town. The food was top notch. Everything was amazing. I'm a southerner and can confidently say that the fried green tomatoes were some of the best I've ever had. The moulard duck breast was also the highlight of the entrees. We had several desserts which were all good, but the white chocolate bread pudding was the clear winner. Also, make sure to get a mint julep to complete your southern experience.

No where to park (BEWARE FIRST TIME CUSTOMERS) So we just went through the drive through. We pull up without knowing what to get (I know, my bad). We asked the **thrilled** employee working there what she would recommend. She suggest butterscotch (didn't elaborate further). She didn't have the best personality, but she got the job done. I ordered ice cream in a cup and the friend ordered a pineapple milkshake. The portion of ice cream was unfathomable. It was probably equal to a WHOLE carton of ice cream. So much so that I had to dump out majority of it in the parking lot of some government building (sorry!!). Friend liked the shake, but mentioned that it had hints of lactaid. I was done with the ice cream in under 10 minutes after it dripped everywhere. They do no offer toppings for the plain soft serve whatsoever. So who in their right mind can just eat mounds of straight vanilla?!?! My Diet Coke made up for the ice cream however I had only about two sips of it because of how much ice they put in it. Anyways, maybe it was a case of not ordering the right thing, or not getting fantastic service, or maybe this place is just overrated.
