    Soul Food at Old Country Store in Lorman, MS
    Brenda B.

    Excellent food and a unique experience! We're travelers, and we rumbled through here on a tour of the Deep South. I'm a Vicksburg, MS native, so I know all of "the spots"... hehe. And this is one of them. Drop by the Old Country Store for a delicious, old-fashioned soul food buffet and a serenade by the chef, "Mister D"! He told us he'd originally bought this property to "flip" it, but soon fell in love with the area and stayed. The Old Country Store features high shelves and ladders from which store clerks used to pick your order; self-serve stores weren't always a thing! Please take a moment to chat with the friendly staff and browse the souvenirs and tchotchkes on the shelves. Leave a note, if you wish. And remember. This is Mississippi. Slow down and sit awhile. Sip on some PROPER Southern sweet tea and soak in the atmosphere. Don't just eat your chicken. Taste it. This is it. Love goes into every bite here. You cannot get any more authentic than this.

    Best fried chicken I have had in a long time. Nice southern atmosphere in a old country store. Stop and see the Windsor Ruins after lunch, it is near by.

    The thing about fried chicken is the crust. This is The Thing. Loved the place and their hand washing routine!

    Oh my goodness this place is home cooking Soul food Southern food at its best!! The worlds best fried chicken hands down. Deep fried pork chops, smothered pork chops. Greens so soft and cooked with more love than you can imagine. Every single item is cooked from scratch and love, no canned or frozen stuff here.. excellent food and service. Buffet is only $15.95 including drink WOW ! This place is worth a couple hour drive!!! Just go because you will love the food This place is in an old white wooden building on Hwy 61 it don't look like much sitting out there all alone on a busy Hwy but the food inside is delicious ! The inside is decorated in old memorabilia and antiques. The staff is friendly the food is down home comfort food, it's a buffet with fried chicken, ribs that are fall off the bone tender just to mention a few of my favorite that they have also smothered steak with rice n gravy and so much more. They also have a salad area . Let's just say you ain't leaving hungry ! They have ice tea and soft drinks also. It's really worth the drive here

    Restaurant only NOT A STORE

    Not very friendly! We stumbled across this place today. In between meal times had no idea you couldnt look if not eating. We were ask to leave. Don't waste your time to see the country store.

    I have had this place on my radar for years and was finally close enough to come by even though it was out of the way I was going to get it out of my system. Well the only thing I have to say is I'm glad it's over with and I don't have to come back even if it is on my route. The food was fair at best and the chicken was not all that good, thankfully they had some cajun hot sauce on the table to cover it up with. Why this place made it on television and magazines is beyond me maybe the recipe has changed or something. I had high hopes but they fell quickly after the first bite. The floors are about to fall through and the condiments on the table were nasty to the touch.

    This place is absolutely amazing! Love the old ambiance and the service is outstanding. The manager sang to me. Has such true southern feel. The food is good and won't disappoint.

    Unorganized and unprofessional! So I decided to check out this new place after seeing it a few…read moretimes. The first mistake, their hours online says they open at 8, after arriving after 8, no one was there. So I called the number and a nice woman told me they open at 9. So I waited to go back up there after 9. So when I went back up there after 9, I saw that they were open and people were in there working. I went to the drive through. Sat at the drive through literally 10 mins. Nobody acknowledged me, ever came to the drive through or nothing. I know that they saw the car as one of the workers kept coming back and forth to the front placing food in a tray. They saw the car through the window. It amazes me as this place had a huge grand opening sign and this is how they are doing business already. Incorrect starting times, lack luster professionalism. I didn't get to try the food as I was never acknowledged or serviced. This place is already starting on the wrong foot. They should really tighten up or they won't be here long.

    I really make a point to try and stop at Big Momma's when I drive through Alexandria, their food is…read moreAMAZING portion sizes, wonderful flavor, and they are always so sweet to me! I was having issues with the card reader, and the lady working the counter allowed me to sort it out with my bank while she got the food ready. Catfish is always flaky and soft, chicken is flavorful, and the potato salad? The gumbo? She put some SOUL in that! Restaurant was clean and well lit, could feel the vibe from up the block. If you're in Alexandria, STOP AND SEE BIG MOMMA!
