The Crown is one of the best restaurants in Indianola. The menu is diverse and the desserts are to die for. It is one of the longest lasting restaurants in Indianola, as well. The owners are wonderful people who truly care what they are putting on your plate. You can also shop at their nice gift shop after you eat. If you haven't eaten here give it a try! read more

Cozy, simple menu that is locally, family owned business. Ingredients are locally grown and bought.

Umm, so I've eaten here a couple of times in the past and recall leaving full and satisfied. However, things seemed to have changed on my most recent visit. We all ordered the Catfish Allison. It tasted fine, but I left hungry. The accompanying side salad was really good. I just wish I had more food overall. We did get complimentary bread, but that didn't help much lol. Aside from the food, the server was pretty good and there's a neat store inside as well. I just think we paid way too much for what we ate. There's a dessert bar for an extra fee, but we decided not to because everyone serves themselves and it didn't seem like a sanitary situation. read more

Always love The Crown!! It's a true Delta gem!! Catfish Florentine is always a hit!!!

First time in was 11/192019. My wife and I stopped in for lunch prior to visiting the B.B. King Museum. Service was really good and the food was great. We both had samples of the fresh warm bread that they bring by your table. She and I both had the Catfish Po'Boy. It's a must try, we will be back. read more

You will have regrets eating here. You will regret that you got full! We were here for a late lunch so only had the Gumbo - perfect, rich with just the right amount of heat. But then the Pie, Oh My! All the slices and slice-ettes of incredible Southern selections you can eat for $4. Wowzy, Yowzy. read more

It's a quaint little place but the water stains on the ceiling really big me. I got a southwest salad and it was ok but the salad was wet and made my dressing watery. The tortilla strips on my salad were stale. My friend got the catfish Allison and it had bones. It was just ok, nothing really good about it. read more

Catfish Allison Poached fillet of U.S. Farm-raised Catfish fillet gratineed with a Parmesan Cheese, butter and green onion sauce. Lovely nutty butter flavor. So yummy. We stopped here on our way to the BB King Museum. Cute little place and customer service was good also. We were on a roadtrip from NOLA -Mississippi-Memphis!!!!!! IF your ever in town stop by this place to eat!!!! read more

Had a good catfish poboy and a really interesting salad with cantaloupe and apples. Nice place

The quality, the beer bread the ambiance wow. It's a cafe/tea room with wonderful waitstaff. Ice tea was hearty (tasty and held up to the ice cubes) not watered down. I had the chicken salad sandwich on wheatberry and the olive broccoli salad. I need the recipe!! For the chicken salad! What a wonderful find thanks to Mike our Delta Blues tour guide!! read more

We discovered The Crown while traveling thru Mississippi---enjoyed a very nice lunch! We had the Catfish Allison and catfish po boy. Both were very good! The salad that came w Catfish Allison was fresh with a great sweet Vidalia onion vinaigrette dressing. The Catfish Allison was fantastic, with just right seasonings, served w rice and green beans. The po boy's french bread was super fresh and very good! We were tempted by the dessert buffet but were too full! Once again, Yelp reviews helped steer us to good places to eat! Friendly staff. read more

One of the best little hidden treasures in the delta! Their catfish Alison and beer bread is AMAZING and you can't skip their pie selection! They also have a bunch of locally made seasonings and sauces and dip mixes to purchase that are phenomenal! Only open during lunch so if your visiting the delta this is a must read more

This is amazing food. Everything I have had just blows you away. The Quiche, the Catfish Florentine, Catfish Allison, Catfish Pate', Chicken Salad, everything is amazing. All fresh made as good as homemade. The desserts again are all made fresh, chest pies. They have a dessert table with at least eight different dessert that you can try a small slice of everything for just $2. Can't say enough about The Crown. Also a lovely gift shop loaded with quaint gifts, mixes for a lot of their food. Wish I could give it more stars. read more

Famous southern food. I can still remember the sweet tea and catfish. More info: http://www.thecrownrestaurant.com/ read more

The Food was Delicious 4.5 Star Service!!!! After visiting the BB King Museum at 1:30 we were very hungry. We drove by The Crown Restaurant and it looked like it was closed. We called and a lady said it was near their 2pm closing time. I hung up the phone but immediately called back to ask for recommendations. So she told me to come on and asked how many was in my party and that she would have my table ready. True to her word; we were welcomed by the CoOwner on the phone when we walked in and our table was ready. The owner, Mrs Roughton was standing there and a waiter to give us an update on what was available in the kitchen. They were out of Homemade Rolls and Rice and later no Fried Catfish. But to our pleasant surprise the baked fish and baked chicken entrees we ordered, while working around no rice, was absolutely DELICIOUS including Salads and Desserts and that Southern Sweet Ice Tea!!! It was a wonderful Dining experience. Our Day trip to Indianola, MS was truly a wonderful experience for our 91 year old Mom who wanted to go to the BB KING MUSEUM. MEMORIES PRICELESS read more

If you want to know what southern food is about you need to add the Crown. Hospitality is their thing. It feels like home with the art and furniture. Ms. Evelyn greats you and immediately brings warm bread. The chicken Allison is great but they always have great food. A mixture of southern ingredients with french technique makes this place special. Check it out if you're in the area. read more

Catfish Allison was awesome. Gumbo was good a little lighter than I'm used to. Will definitely eat here again.

What a great little place!! Excellent food, super friendly service and a cute little gift shop to boot!! I had the Catfish Allison and it was divine however I could have made a meal on the beer bread alone! The best I have ever had! If you are in the delta this place is a must! read more

Great southern comfort food. The beer bread is sooooo good!

Great little family run place. Good service. Nice people. Plenty of freshly baked bread brought to your table. Not a large menu but very good food. Didn't try the optional dessert table but it looked very tempting. Excellent place for lunch. read more

Traveling from Alabama to Eureka Springs, Arkansas to a friends wedding, I stopped in Indianola for gas and asked for direction to a good restaurant. I was directed to the Crown Restaurant where I enjoyed the Catfish Allison, It was so good that the end of October I am going back . It's only 360 miles, but what is that for great food.
