As I drove up, I was thinking how in the world can they survive with limited hours and limited days. Then I went in, saw a group of Ole Miss kids waiting for their order, one playing pin ball - for free because the machine doesn't take quarters. For you younger people reading, we used to need quarters if we wanted any type of fun. I order from Dennis as he multi-tasked being the Chef, the host, and the cashier. I notice how inexpensive the food is. It looks expensive! Ambiance is quaint, unique and a staple of the Ole Miss area. Service is great considering Dennis does it all. Do not come here hangry - save your tude for another place. Come with patience and kindness, it's The LUV Shak! If you don't know now you know, Dennis probably doesn't make much selling his food, he's doing it for love. He's admirable. $10 for his dishes and if you get one, he's under selling his food. After speaking to him, he makes food for people in the area and he doesn't raise his prices so they can eat his good food, told ya, he's an Angel. Let's get into it!

Ordered 3 times and has been great every time! It was a learning curve at first because being authentic NY pizza some of the toppings just weren't for us... but we asked questions and figured out what we like and don't. Got the mulberry sandwich the other night and it was fabulous. My heart goes out to these owners!! They are opening a new style restaurant in such an UNBELIEVABLY difficult time to own a restaurant. First off opening a new restaurant has a learning curve for owners and employees. Second the terrible labor shortage crises makes hiring enough good employees impossible. Third the extreme rise in food cost makes it hard to compete with big corporations. My family thinks the food and service have been great and we will keep coming back. read more

I found this gem of a pizzeria on a recent trip to Oxford while visiting my son at Ole Miss. I was pleasantly surprised when I looked at the menu. This is not your ordinary, everyday pizza place. Everything on the menu looked delicious...I had a hard time deciding. So...I left with 3 pizzas, a hefty helping of lasagna and sandwiches on homemade foccocia bread. Needless to say, my son and his roommate were very happy when Mama showed up! During the times we are currently living in, I try to support small businesses...they really depend on us. This was my first stop but definitely won't be my last! read more

Best place to get pizza in Oxford. Pizzas are made with real ingredients and can be easily customized with authentic NYC pizza taste. The only "downside" is that there is no fountain drinks, but anyone who has ever been to NYC will know that this is the norm. All and all 5 stars and this place is sure to be a hit to both locals and visitors to Oxford, Mississippi. read more

Shortly thereafter we were enjoying their awesome and famous onion rings and broiled shrimp, served by an attentive and wonderful waiter (Tabatha) where we found both dishes to be cooked perfectly. This course was followed closely by "Lusco's Salad" of fresh greens and tomatoes in a "wet" and tart dressing Then our entrees came soon thereafter; delicious whole/bone-in and head-on Pompano and Flounder (fresh from the Gulf) cooked to perfection with crispy skin, a NYStrip (w Lusco's excellent flavor) cooked medium rare, wonderful gumbo and a tasty crab cake.

When planning, it was agreed that the event would be held at Montgomery's, since they catered my wedding reception a few years back. And the food at the reception was absolutely amazing! Service and hospitality were excellent. Unfortunately, I CAN NOT say the same for my granny's party!!!! It's unfortunate because the experience and the food was so horrible, that our entire party has vowed to NEVER return. I will say that our waitress ( #Poo ) was wonderful. She did the very best that she could, given that she was not informed of any details surrounding the party before we arrived. She was called in to work our party with no help AT ALL. I had to personally go upstairs and ask that someone, anyone, come help her take orders. Upstairs, the restaurant was practically empty, therefore one of the two girls standing around should have been instructed to stay downstairs and assist. I should not have had to go beg for help. The blonde girl sent the very pregnant young lady downstairs to help take orders. And bless her heart, she was running up and down the stairs all night trying to make sure we were taken care of. Things had gotten so out of hand, my sister, literally grabbed a tray and help wait tables!!!! Yes, you read that right, my SISTER started running drinks and helped bring down food! And between food and dessert, I was bussing tables!!! Yep me, heels and all... But let's get back to the food. No one received hot food. Out of all the steaks, fried catfish, pasta, appetizers, etc, the only hot thing on our plates were the baked potatoes!! Dry baked potatoes at that (no butter, sour cream, nothing). But hey, at least they were hot!! And the pasta was flavorless. We were finally told that since we ordered from the menu it caused the process to be slower. So I asked what we were supposed to do, if not order from the menu. One of the waitresses stated that parties the size of ours are supposed to order platters only. Well this would have been great information to have at booking right?!?! NO ONE told my mom this when she booked. And if this is what they typically do, why were the trays or platters not started as we were arriving and getting situated???? This could have helped out tremendously. The $150 plus tax my mom and her siblings spent to reserve this space was like flushing money down the toilet. Because everyone there left hungry and having to go to drive thru somewhere on their way home. Oh and my steak was given to our Dobermann puppy (Scooby-Doo loved it) And my poor granny (the bday girl) said she was happy to see all her children and grandchildren, but she NEVER wants to see Montgomery's On Main again!!! And to top it all off, when my mom called to speak with the owner today, he blew her off, had an attitude, claimed he couldn't hear her, and told her to call him back some other time, and hung up!!!! Cold food, missing food, children starving because it took forever for their food to arrive, and the birthday girl was literally served last!!!!!! Like WTH. Her food took so long she was asking if her order could just be canceled. I'm all for shopping and eating local, but this, this was ridiculous and uncalled for!!! Now before anyone jumps on here losing their s**t because of my post, please understand that this is MY FAMILY'S EXPERIENCE. You and yours may have had a better experience. And we did try to speak with owner/management to resolve the issue. However my mom should not have been met with attitude, and she should not have to chase someone down to address the issue, after we ALLLLLLL voiced our displeasure while we were actually at the establishment.

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.
