This establishment is TERRIBLE. The management staff is not only unprofessional, but they are rude and dismissive. They do not honor reservations for individuals that went through proper channels to secure their place. When explaining that the individuals were waiting on the rest of the party they canceled the reservation and dismissed the party. This place of business was not trying to work with the customers as they were being condescending and dismissive while creating a hostile environment. I truly believe management is racist and I do not recommend this establishment to anyone to spend their hard-earned money on. Please take your business and your money elsewhere. Food: 1 | Service: 1 | Atmosphere: 1 Reservation: Reservation required Group size: 9+ people Seating type: Indoor dining area Recommendation for vegetarians: Would not recommend read more

I would give this place negative reviews. Was with a group from out of town and made reservations for a party of 6. When we arrived (on time and actually 10 minutes early) we were not greeted and ended up just standing waiting for someone to greet us. When no one arrived we asked to speak with a manager. When someone did arrive we were told that another party took priority over us, although we had prior and confirmed reservations for 6. Then we were told to leave the property or law enforcement would be called. I have never been so disrespected by a small business ever in my life. I don't even want to speculate as to why we were treated in this manner, other than the color of our skin. This place definitely gives bigotry vibes and I highly recommend staying away from this establishment. With small businesses already fighting inflation and other economic factors, it is ridiculous this establishment would turn away honest, good paying patrons. Personally, South Haven, MS would be a better place without a business that operates like Sippin Silo. read more

Rarely do I ever leave a review-- but wow this place sucks!!! Horrible service. I would never recommend this establishment to anyone I know...not even my worst enemy!! The charcuterie board was dry. The wine was cheap. And to top it off, the staff had the audacity to be dismissive and impatient. I will NOT be returning!! read more

After seeing the disturbing video showing the treatment of these Black women, I can honestly say I would never patronize an establishment like this. According to what was shown in the video, Sippin Silo chose to involve the police over a seating arrangement rather than simply offering an alternative to patrons who had reservations. That is deeply troubling and, in my opinion, completely unacceptable. What was even more disturbing was the behavior of the responding police officer. His approach toward these women appeared extremely aggressive and intimidating. At one point, he moved toward one of the women in a manner that made it appear as though he might physically take her to the ground. If an officer behaves that aggressively while knowing he is being recorded, it raises serious concerns about how he may conduct himself when there are no cameras present. There should have been an effort to de-escalate the situation not escalate it. Black women deserve to be treated with dignity, respect, and fairness. No reservation or seating disagreement should ever turn into an encounter that feels threatening or unnecessarily aggressive. This is not the kind of establishment I would choose to support. read more

Based on a recent video trending on iG, this establishment is racist towards African Americans and should not be patronized. Also, the way dumbo deputy dinky doolittle became antagonizing towards them shows that Mississippi's local police officers still have a ways to go in dealing with their racist cops. Thank God officer Brittany seemed to have more common sense than that dumbo in uniform. She listened when he refused to. He's just an insecure, petulant, pathetic and stupid little man who doesn't belong in that uniform. Very glad there was a Black officer there as well. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS RACIST PLACE!!!! read more

Yayyy I can still leave a negative review. As a person of color & member of LE, I'm very disgusted at whoever called on the group of Black women that had a reservation. I love wine but would never patronize this establishment. I hope whoever called is fired and this business fails. Black people beware, we're not welcome here! read more

Based on what I personally observed in the videos, posts, and public responses surrounding the recent incident involving a group of Black women at Sippin Silo, I was very disappointed by how the situation appeared to be handled. What stood out to me was the way the interaction escalated and the overall tone of the situation. From what I observed, it raised a serious question for me: would another group of women have been treated the same way under the same circumstances? That is my issue. I also observed public discussion suggesting that the business being "minority-owned" was being used as part of the response to concerns about discrimination. In my opinion, that does not answer the concern. Being minority-owned does not automatically mean that another minority group cannot be treated differently. What matters to me is whether every customer is treated consistently, respectfully, and according to the same rules. As a consumer, I pay attention to these things because businesses should never take Black patronage for granted. Our money spends just like everyone else's, and if an establishment wants support from the Black community, then Black customers should receive the same level of respect, patience, professionalism, and customer service as anyone else. Another thing I observed was how quickly the situation became much bigger than what appeared to start as a customer-service disagreement. That alone would make me uncomfortable spending my money here. I personally do not want to enter an establishment wondering whether a disagreement could turn into something unnecessarily escalated. I was not physically present during the incident, so I am not claiming to know every conversation that took place. My review is based solely on what I personally observed from the publicly available material and the impression that material left on me as a potential customer. Businesses benefit from social media and online reviews when customers have positive experiences. The same should be expected when something happens publicly that causes potential customers to reconsider whether they want to support that business. If there is additional context that changes what the public observed, management should provide it clearly and transparently. But based on what I personally saw, I would not feel comfortable patronizing this establishment at this time. For me, it comes down to something very simple: I want to spend my money somewhere I feel confident that Black customers will be welcomed, respected, and treated the same as everyone else. Black patronage should never be taken for granted. read more

The service is terrible. They WILL weaponize the police, if they feel like it. The ambiance is atrocious, due to the fact that it's a hostile environment, if they don't like the color of your skin. This overseer came and threatened to arrest this lady, if she didn't give him her ID, over a noise complaint, which was actually questions that they posed to the owner of the establishment. Several officers came, to de-escalate the situation, because this one was ABSOLUTELY, UNable to handle his emotions and racist behavior. If you're Black, do NOT patronize Sippin Silo!!!!! They get ONE star, because it's required, otherwise they would get negative stars. read more

See all

I would NOT recommend this business. My experience here was extremely disturbing and left me with serious concerns about how African American customers are treated at this establishment. Instead of handling a customer-service issue the way businesses regularly do communicating with the customers, explaining expectations, involving management, or asking someone to leave if necessary the restaurant chose to escalate the situation by calling the police. From what I witnessed, the situation did not warrant police involvement and could have been handled through basic customer service and conflict resolution. What made this even more disturbing was how aggressively the responding officers interacted with the African American women involved. A situation that began as something restaurant staff could have handled themselves was escalated into a police encounter that, in my opinion, unnecessarily put these women's safety at risk. Businesses need to understand the seriousness of involving law enforcement, particularly when dealing with situations that do not present an immediate safety threat. Calling the police is not a substitute for customer service, and unnecessary escalation can have very real and potentially dangerous consequences. I left feeling that these women were not given the patience, respect, or opportunity to resolve the situation that customers should reasonably expect. Based on what I personally witnessed, I would not feel comfortable recommending this establishment to African American customers or spending my money here again. read more

As a Black woman, I am deeply disturbed by the way this group of Black women--who had a valid reservation--was treated. Incidents like this are unacceptable and have no place in any business. I enjoy supporting wineries and local businesses, but I could never in good conscience patronize an establishment where customers are made to feel unwelcome because of the color of their skin. I sincerely hope the business takes this incident seriously, conducts a thorough investigation, and holds those responsible accountable. Until then, I cannot recommend supporting this establishment. To my community: please stay informed and make the decisions that are right for you. Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, and equal hospitality. read more

The food was mediocre in my opinion. I was the waitress's only table and she only came and checked on me once. The service was really bad. I DO NOT RECOMMEND read more

1 STAR Completely Unacceptable Treatment of Black Women I am absolutely disgusted by what happened to a group of Black women at Sippin and Silo in Mississippi. These women had PRE-BOOKED a reservation, yet staff refused to serve them and instead called the police over what amounted to a seating issue. Rather than simply communicating with their paying guests, offering an available alternative, or finding a reasonable solution, the situation was allowed to escalate into something completely unnecessary and humiliating. What happened after law enforcement arrived was even more disturbing. The first officer who responded was extremely hostile and aggressive toward one of the women. He threatened to arrest her if she did not provide her identification. The women repeatedly asked for a lieutenant, but their requests were not honored. The officer's demeanor was so aggressive that it appeared the situation could become physical. Thankfully, additional officers eventually arrived and de-escalated the situation. Let that sink in: a group of Black women who had made reservations came to patronize an establishment and ended up dealing with police over a seating dispute. There were so many opportunities for the staff to de-escalate this situation before it ever reached that point. They could have honored the reservation, explained the seating situation, offered another seating arrangement, or simply communicated respectfully with their guests. Instead, they refused to serve them and involved law enforcement. And because this is a minority-owned establishment, the situation is even more disappointing. Black women should not have to wonder whether they will be treated with dignity and respect when they spend their money at a business. These women were guests from out of town who came to patronize this establishment. They deserved hospitality, professionalism, and basic respect, not humiliation, confrontation, and police involvement. I would strongly encourage people to think carefully before spending their money here. Businesses have every right to address legitimate problems with customers, but there is a huge difference between resolving a seating issue professionally and turning it into an incident involving aggressive police intervention. This entire situation was unacceptable. The staff's handling of the situation, the decision to involve police, and the conduct witnessed afterward should all be seriously examined. Customers deserve to feel safe and respected when they walk into a restaurant. Black women deserve that same respect. I would not recommend this establishment based on what occurred, and I will not be supporting or funding a business that handles its Black female customers this way. read more

racist to it's core. Black people please stop spending money with those that loathe youre very being. read more

I had an extremely disappointing and disturbing experience at this restaurant. The food was honestly disgusting and nowhere near the quality I expected, but the way we were treated by the staff was even worse. As minorities, we felt that the waiter and hostess treated us differently from other customers and made us feel unwelcome from the beginning. Their attitude toward us came across as openly hostile and discriminatory. What was especially upsetting was that the police were involved even though, to our knowledge, we had not broken any rules or done anything that justified that kind of escalation. No customer should be made to feel targeted, humiliated, or unsafe because of their race or background. What should have been a normal dining experience became stressful and degrading. Based on the poor food, the treatment we received, and the unnecessary escalation involving law enforcement, I would not recommend this restaurant and will not be returning. read more

As a Black woman, I am deeply disturbed and disappointed by what my sisters experienced at this establishment. According to my sisters, they were refused seating and told they needed a reservation, despite the fact that a reservation was not required. When they questioned why they were receiving different treatment compared with a group of white customers, instead of receiving an explanation or being treated with basic courtesy and respect, the police were called. It is extremely concerning to hear that my sister and the other women were treated this way simply for questioning the difference in service they received. No customer should have to feel targeted, humiliated, or unwelcome for asking why they are being treated differently. As a Black woman, I stand with my sisters and believe their experience deserves to be heard. Experiences like this are exactly why people of color, especially Black women, should be mindful of where we choose to spend our hard-earned money. Our dollars have power. We deserve to support businesses where we are welcomed, respected, and treated fairly. If a business does not value or respect Black women, then Black women have every right to take their business elsewhere. To my Black sisters: know your worth, stand together, and do not support establishments where you are made to feel unwelcome or mistreated. read more

Terrible treatment of customers. The police were called to situation that could have been handled by the business. The situation was escalated and could've put people in danger. Their food nor business is good enough to possibly risk your life. Don't patron this business! read more

1 star because it doesn't go any lower. The customer service was awful. I was ignored while the un-melinated patrons were seated and served before I could order. I walked out, never to return. read more

Rascist management / staff. They weaponized police against a group of black Americans who reserved their tables for a 61 year old's birthday in advance. They outright denied them service, then called police on the group. Boycott this place at all costs. Would rate 0 stars if it was allowed. read more

Weaponizing the police is totally ridiculous and totally unprofessional. I would never go to an establishment who can't be respectful to ALL customers. read more

This establishment called the police on a group that made reservations because when they showed up they were black.

Decided to pop in early Friday evening a few weeks ago. The service was very attentive. Decor was kind of tacky. Looked like the set of a Netflix original show. The wine was awful. The tap system they have is clearly not used often or not maintained well. Everything tasted corked. In trying to find a wine I could palate, I tried several. The person with me got an aperol spritz. It was sickly sweet. If you're going to be in the business of alcohol, please learn about it. We spent almost $50 on essentially two drinks. I'm also very disheartened to see the recent treatment of patrons. If you have to post a statement defending your business, you need to do some reckoning. Will not be back. read more

Terrible service. Disgusting in every way. The bathrooms were as filthy as the racists who run it. Food was terrible too, made with hate.

This business is NOT welcoming to black customer. The rudeness of the owner and employees is unacceptable. The lack of professionalism, ethics and communication skills are awful. It appears that they only cater to non black people with dignity and respect. I advise that no one black steps foot in there establishment nor give them a dime of your money. read more

If you're looking for nasty food, questionable hygiene, and a side of discrimination, congratulations you've found the place. there's the treatment of Black women. Watching Black women get kicked out and having the police called when, from what I witnessed, they had done nothing wrong was absolutely disgusting. The way Black women were treated was disturbing and felt discriminatory. Would I recommend this place? Absolutely not. Unless your dream dinner is food poisoning with a side of racism. Save your money, save your stomach, and save yourself the headache. There are plenty of restaurants that know how to serve food and treat people with basic respect. read more

Wanted to go here before I went and got a real dinner, but as my wife and I are looking to park we see a group of black women being harassed by police officers. I asked what was going on and they tell us the story how the establishment didn't want to serve them and were extremely rude. So I did myself a favor and didn't bother spending a dime with this poor excuse of an establishment and stood by to make sure more people didn't go into that place, especially any black people. Won't ever be going back and will recommend no one goes. The racism was strong along with their ignorance. Never got a foot inside to even try the food but we were going for drinks anyway. Sippin silo is dead to me read more

Well, this restaurant called the police on a group of black women who had a hooked reservation when serve them and then call the police on them so they don't deserve a good review of course it's Mississippi so they are racist read more

I am deeply disappointed and disturbed about what happened at Sippin Silo yesterday after a group of beautiful African American ladies were discriminate against and police were called because they were asking questions about seating policies. The responding officer was aggressive from the start and threatened to arrest the ladies for disturbance and not showing DL (which they were trying to do). The ladies were not aggressive or unruly. This could have been avoided if the manager of this establishment was professional. I don't see this business lasting long because apparently, this isn't the first time racism was shown at this location. read more

Rude staff and the food is stale. Its so expensive for lunchables. Never come to this place.

After seeing the recent incident involving this establishment, I am extremely disappointed by how the situation was handled. Regardless of what policy the business says it was enforcing, customer service is also about how policies are communicated, how customers are treated, and whether those policies appear to be applied consistently. What was captured and shared publicly was disturbing enough that, as a potential customer, it absolutely affects whether I would feel comfortable spending my money here. Calling law enforcement over a customer-service dispute--particularly when there were questions surrounding how identification and service policies were being enforced--only escalated a situation that appeared capable of being handled professionally. Businesses have every right to establish policies, but customers also have every right to pay attention to how those policies are enforced and how people are treated when there is a disagreement. Based on what I saw from this incident and the response afterward, I would not feel comfortable patronizing this establishment. read more

Don't believe the negative reviews being left, they are FALSE reviews left by people after an incident that had nothing to do with the restaurant or food itself. It's a cute little place that's great to meet up with your girlfriends, or a quiet night as a couple. The place is small, and can get crowded especially on the weekends, so if you are wanting a table I'd make reservations- the bar is first come first serve. read more

I'm extremely disappointed by what I witnessed at Sippin Silo in Mississippi. These women of color were simply trying to enjoy a meal, and from what I saw, they had done nothing to cause a disturbance. They were asked to leave, and when they understandably wanted to know why, the police were called. What makes this especially upsetting is that they weren't looking for an argument or causing trouble they just wanted an explanation for why they were being treated this way. Seeing people be made to feel unwelcome in a restaurant, especially when they were simply trying to eat, is incredibly disturbing. Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, and fairness regardless of their race or skin color. read more

Oh my goodness--my cousin told me she was treated rudely during her visit, and watching the video was heartbreaking. I would never feel comfortable purchasing food or drinks from a business that gives me even the slightest sense of racial discrimination.
