Various places, Savannah, TN and surrounding area

The past few days I was on vacation and went to Savannah, TN see my cousin. While I was there we went to several places to eat. Normally I designate an entire page to each new place but I decided to put these all on one page, first to save space and make it easier, but two because it happened to be my birthday week and my cousin paid for most of the meals so I don't know how much they were.

Los Potosina, Savannah, TN - Chicken, steak, shrimp quesadillas. Really good! My cousin got a vegetarian quesadilla I believe.



 

The Red Bird Cafe, Fayetteville, TN (couldn't find a website) - Club sandwich (it was really good)



Main Street Grill, Fayetteville, TN - After lunch pie. Couldn't find anyone that sold cake



Fish Hut, Savannah, TN - Baked BBQ chicken, mac and cheese, green beans, northern beans

On Thursdays they have a cafe style buffet line which is what my cousin recommended. Really good!


 


Dilworth's Tamale's, Corinth, MS - tamales! Duh! Here's what I said about them on my Facebook page.

I was in Corinth about three hours ago (6/22 on the way home from Savannah) and stopped buy this shop and brought tamales home for dinner. They were still a little warm a couple of hours later.The lady was extremely nice and your first dozen tamales are free no strings! I didn’t even have to ask. She just told me.
 
They are pretty good! Spicy which I love but they have mild too.They are thin. This is actually four tamales but a dozen is only $6 normally. Just a note, they are takeout/drive through only.

 


Emerald's - Waynesboro, TN - Chicken Parmesan, a little different than most places make it

Tallahatchie Gourmet, New Albany, MS

Tallahatchie Gourmet

MAP 

Tallahatchie Gourmet is a small cafe on Main Street in New Albany near Carter Avenue. I went there a couple of days ago for lunch and was impressed.

The service and the food were both excellent and the prices were reasonable. My total with an extra side item and a drink was just under $20. I ordered a club sandwich with fries and a side salad. The sandwich was different than other places but I don't know exactly how to describe it.

I will definitely go back when I'm in the area.


 

Other recent trips:

Colton's, Olive Branch, MS - Blackened salmon


La Perla Tapatia, Collierville, TN - Chicken quesadilla



KC Steakhouse, Batesville, MS - Parmesan crusted fish and misc other items

The Levee Commissary, Tunica, MS

Levee Commissary

MAP 

The Levee Commissary is a bar and grill and butcher shop on Fox Island Road west of the city of Tunica off of Highway 4 or Tunica Lake Road. If you aren't familiar with it you should use your GPS.

I went down there last week for lunch. I ordered catfish which was pretty good. Not great but I did enjoy it. Next time I'll try something else. They were pretty reasonably priced. I don't remember the exact total but it was a good price for what I got.

I will definitely go back.

 

Other recent trips:


Resthaven, Clarksdale, MS - Chicken Parm



Mexico Grill, Tunica, MS - Chicken nachos

 

The Parish, Hernando, MS - Blackened grouper and shrimp






Jay's Coffee and Cuisine, Millington, TN

Jay's Coffee

MAP 

Jay's is a small coffee shop and restaurant on Navy Road just a little east of Highway 51. I went there last week after another place I was going wasn't open for the day yet.

I got a turkey club and a brownie and it was pretty good. The total before tip including a bottled drink was about $20. The service was fantastic! I will definitely go back

 

Other trips that week:


Avellinos, Southaven, MS - Boneless wings and jalapeƱo poppers



East End Grill, Bartlett, TN - Sausage and cheese plate and a salad





Corky's Barbecue, Olive Branch, MS

Corky's OB

MAP 

Corky's is a local chain with several locations. About three weeks ago I met a friend at the location in Olive Branch which is on Goodman Road just west of West Hamilton Circle, in front of the Malco Cinema.

To be honest, I was not impressed. I have been to other locations but this one was not on top of its game that day. I ordered BBQ chicken nachos but they had basically no flavor even with the extra sauce I kept putting on them.

I don't remember the price but it was about the same as most other places.

In their defense, the service was really good. I will go back but I doubt I will get the same thing. I'll try the barbecue which at the other locations has always been pretty good.
