    Once again heading back down 49 from the Delta and looking for quick lunch options, Yelp reviews…read morehelped me target the Blue Rooster. A slight deviation into Flora down First street and one lap around the block. The sign was so small we missed it and the parking lot is torn up and under renovation. Not an easy place to find at first. The small amount of signage tells you that this is a place only the locals are ment to know about. For those of you who look on Yelp for this place the Big Nasty is no longer on the menus. However it is available as a custom order if you want to try it. It's the photo of the Big Nasty and the name that drew me in. The cooks recommendation of their signature burger persuaded my choice. I went for the Fire House. Grilled home made burger patty with the choice of plump and juicy or smashed. Melted cheese, grilled onions, lettuce, tomato and pickles on a jalapeño bun. I got the green chilies on the side. The owner recommended that because they buy fresh and can never determine the heat. Great idea. I tasted first and then layered the sweet peppery heat to my liking. It also came with dipping sauce options for the fries. I went with the Mississippi style comeback sauce. Found myself topping the chilies with it. What a great tasting, burger. Well seasoned patty, great cheese and salad combo and the spice and zing from the peppers complemented the comeback. The Blue Rooster is a worth while and totally tasty burger detour if you are passing Flora around lunch time. Another local gem.

    We've heard about this place for years but never come to Flora. We were headed home from Indianola…read moreand decided to give it a try. Let me say that this was some of the friendliest staff ever. They were so invested in making sure we had a great experience. It was a guy and 2 ladies. All equally friendly. Hand pattied burgers. Yes!!! Mike got the flame thrower with the hand cut fries. He said "delicious". I had the rooster burger with hand cut sweet potato fries dipped in ranch. The onion was sweet and mild, tender butter lettuce and what appeared to be a homegrown hot house tomato. Impressive considering it's March 1. I personally felt the bun was a little heavy compared to the meat and enjoyed mine with the top of a jalapeño cheddar bun only. A really great burger. Sweet and creamy banana pudding. A good southern ckasWe took a piece of butterfinger cheese cake home. I forgot pics of the burgers but feast your eyes on the cheesecake!

    This restaurant is really interesting for its history; it's been around since 1936, and still has…read moremany of its original decor features. It is attached to the Alluvian Hotel which has been around just as long. I would say it's good to go to at least once if you're in the Greenwood MS area, if only for the history. The service is always kind but takes a LONG time to get any kind of drinks or food. The food is at best OK. I really enjoy their crawfish dip appetizer, but have had several items on the menu for entrees, including their Delta Catfish filet (the sauce was ok, and the catfish fresh but it was not flavorful), and their Spinach stuffed Manicotti (this was touted as one of their best entrees according to the waitress, but the pasta was over cooked and the flavor was nothing special; I've certainly had much better), which were both subpar. The dessert was decent, but nothing to write home about. I enjoyed their gelato, but it could have just as easily come from a jar purchased at the grocery store. TLDR: I've come to this restaurant several times now (wanted to give it a decent shot since I'm not from the area) and I would go for the history but not stay for the food. It's overpriced for the quality and the service is way too slow. Even though a few items were decent (I.e. the crawfish dip), there isn't enough there for me to sit down and have another meal. *This review is generous because it's in the middle of nowhere MS

    Amazing and delicious food in a great setting. Wait staff was attentive and wonderful…read more Will I go back? Without a doubt!
