I’ve been told it’s great for breakfast/brunch. But make reservations as the wait time can be long.

Big Bad Breakfast
719 N Lamar BlvdTHE “Chicken on a Stick” gas station. It’s a staple for late night food. If you tell people you’ve gone to Oxford, often times you will be asked if you went to the chicken on a stick store. Make sure you are able to say “yes!”

Eat or we both starve if the motto of this historic dry goods store. Some of the best catfish you’ll eat. Google this place to learn it’s history. It’s an experience to go here! But call for reservations or wait time. It’s popular and byob/brown bag. This is in Taylor, MS which is at the end of the road the condo is on!

1110 Van Buren AveIf you have a hankering for some of the best shrimp or crawfish (in season), take the 25 minute drive to the Crawdad Hole in Water Valley. The atmosphere is classic Mississippi. Imagine a screen porch (or indoors if it’s hot), cold beer, eclectic southern decor and blues playing in the background. Don’t let the exterior fool you. People come from all around to eat here!
