My husband and I are in the area for business and found this place because of the reviews, here, on…read moreYelp. We had the brisket loaded fries, stuffed oven roasted chicken, green beans, side salad, and hushpuppies. They were ALL phenomenal and the chicken was the most tender chicken either of us have ever had! Our server (I've forgotten her name....Mariah?) was very attentive and sweet. The atmosphere was a bit elevated without being stuffy.....a great downtown vibe. We've already decided, if we are back in the area, this place is a MUST!!

Stopped for a quick solo lunch. Rolls, strawberry salad, and cup of chili…read more Rolls were a 8/10 very good. Salad 7/10. Chicken was amazing. Chili. 7/10. Probably just personal preference differences. On the salad the chicken was as tender and moist as any chicken I have ever had! The pecans should be toasted and maybe candied. Chili. Not soupy but thick. I now watch salt levels closely. So this was kind of salty, two years ago I would have loved it. I also think my Choi is the best, but doubt others would like it :). The chili came with a hush puppy. It was a 8/10. I normally don't like hush puppies. My waitress was very nice an attentive. The location would fit right in Collierville or Germantown. The prices are probably a little high for typical Bolivar/rural dining. This isn't rural dining. Great job.

This place was very interesting to me. The look and vibe of it was very nice. It is a more upscale…read morerestaurant which is always nice for a special evening out. The food however was honestly meh (in my opinion). I got a creole dish and to be fair my dish looked beautiful. The plating was 10/10 but the taste for me left something to be desired. After eating this dish I questioned if I even like creole sauce because it really just wasn't that good. If this is a preference issue, I honestly don't know. I also thought the charcuterie appetizer had a weird mix of items on it from club crackers, to meat and cheese, and random veggies. Not bad but just kind of a weird mix. My husband ordered the salmon and he said it was good, not the best he's had but it was good. Other friends of ours got the white fish among the many other dishes. I did have a salad with these apples on it which was incredibly yummy. I will say though my dish looked amazing some of the other dishes were not plated well. Not to nitpick but to want to be considered a more upscale restaurant which means charging guest more money than say a local Applebee's then knowing how to appropriately garnish or drizzle sauce to elevate at plate is important (see my picture of the chicken dish). All and all not my favorite restaurant but definitely not the worst!!

So the new trend in many of the southern cookhouses we experienced on this trip was to mega size…read morethe amount of food and ramp the price along with it. Coby Jos is an amazing example that good southern cooking in moderate proportions is not overly heavy. The prices are incredibly reasonable. The amount of food was perfection. A meat with three sides, a roll or cornbread, a drink and dessert for around $10. If you want some good old southern cooking in a reasonable portion and variety capped off by a reasonable price come on down. Breakfast is served but the deal of the day is the plate lunch. It's different every weekday and worth the trip. To be sure to get the plate lunch be there before 11:30.

I gotta be straight, this isn't a 4.9 star place. Yet, I don't live here so maybe they are grading…read moreon a curve. I'll say I had a decent grilled chicken sandwich with tots and they were good. I had not look at the big board and didn't know it existed or didn't fully pay attention to the menu at the very top, so I missed out. And they had fried chicken and mashed potatoes which is a go to for me. Too bad I bet that was the ticket to satisfaction. The service was kind and attentive. The diner was what you'd think in a small town rural America. I can see that the people must like it so that says something.

Every time is a quest and I scored on all counts with Magnolia and May! Typically, we eat at a different place every month to "test the market." But it was unanimous that we come back here next month. We all want to try something different as everyone thought their entrée was the best. Everyone was a bit concerned about the location and parking, but it was easy to locate and easy to park. Service with impeccable and food was fabulous. There were many varied choices for lunch so we all got something different with no complaints!! That's a win for the home team The entrees were savory, cooked to perfection and spot on. The decor was very comfortable, the lighting was perfect as were the fixtures . And now that I'm writing this, my mouth is actually watering so to treat this I'm going tonight with my husband for wine and dinner. It's a win-win!

We were traveling through Brownsville and came here because we wanted a fix of classic American…read morefood, but with better quality than fast food. Livingston's Soda Fountain & Grill delivered with a nice side of nostalgia. We started with an appetizer of Cheese Sticks. We then followed that up with some burgers. I got the Livingston's Burger, which was delicious, while my brother got the Ole Tyme Burger. And as if the burgers weren't enough, these burgers were served with a mountain of delicious fresh-cut fries. But the best part of our meal was at the end, when we were convinced to get two milkshakes, one for each of us. And I'm glad we did, as these were the most delicious milkshakes we had in quite a while, and I was sipping on mine all the way back to our hotel. In short, if you find yourselves traveling through Brownsville and have the time for a proper meal, I strongly recommend you take the detour away from the Interstate to stop at Livingston's Soda Fountain & Grill, and don't forget dessert, because it is the best part here. And if we find ourselves traveling through Brownsville around lunch or dinner time again, we will definitely come back to Livingston's Soda Fountain & Grill again.

You know the food must be exceptional when customers are willing to drive two hours just to enjoy…read morethe barbecue. That was certainly the case for me, and I'm glad I made the trip. Today I ordered the lunch special: pulled pork barbecue with fresh homemade coleslaw, crispy French fries, and a Dr Pepper. Everything was delicious, fresh, and exactly what I was hoping for. I had the pleasure of meeting Kenzie, who provided excellent service, and the manager, Cory, who was friendly and welcoming. I learned that Kenzie makes all of the restaurant's homemade fried pies. Cory recommended the chocolate fried pie as one of his favorites, and after trying it, I completely agree--it was absolutely outstanding and the perfect way to finish the meal. The restaurant itself is older and a bit dated, but it is clean, well-maintained, and has a warm, hometown atmosphere. During my visit, there were plenty of locals dining in, and I noticed a steady stream of customers picking up to-go orders, which says a lot about the quality of the food. I have high standards when it comes to food, customer service, and cleanliness, and I'm happy to say this restaurant met every one of them. If you're looking for authentic barbecue and friendly service, I highly recommend giving this place a try. It's definitely worth the drive. John Lobato, DIT
