Dining room at closing.  There should never be an empty seat here.
Ed W.

The most amazing food in all of Mississippi. I am a foodie and I travel the world. You must try the steak bites and the crabcakes. I live in Maryland and this is the first time I've ever recommended a crabcake outside of Maryland. This is good southern cooked food. Make sure you come off of route 55.

Outside

There were so few reviews on Yelp so I thought I'd give it a try to see what it was like for myself. The place is really cute. Thera a large mural on the inside wall. The menu is fairly standard but with a few unexpected items (like fried crab claws and smoked tuna dip). I was not so hungry to order appetizers. I ordered the cheeseburger which normally comes with fries but I substituted onion rings (for an up charge). What came out was a HUGE serving of onion rings and a HUGE burger. Most likely 1/3 pound. I didn't care for the bun which was more like a big dinner roll. The onion rings were super tasty although the breading didn't stay on. I might would give the food a four, but for the overall experience I'll round up instead of down. The staff (of maybe one front waitress and one back cook) did an excellent job. I'd go back a try a few different items.

Philly steak sandwich and fries

What a hidden gem off Hwy 550 in Brookhaven, MS !! Really cool atmosphere with a large mural on one wall and Edison bulb lighting along the ceiling. Service was super friendly and attentive even during a very busy lunch hour. I ordered the Philly steak sandwich and it did not disappoint!! It is typically hard for me to find a good Philly steak sandwich but this was the best one I've ever had. I will definitely be back and plan to try the steak fries next time. I hear they are delicious!
