Stone Pony, Clarksdale, MS

Stone Pony

MAP

Stone Pony is a pizza restaurant in downtown Clarksdale on Delta Avenue just south of West Second Street. I went there a couple of weeks ago based on a suggestion I saw on the internet.

The food was decent but nothing spectacular. I ordered one of the daily specials, the catfish. As I said, it was decent. The salad was pretty good. I would go back and try something different but overall it was mediocre.

El Maguey is a relatively new Mexican restaurant in Horn Lake. I think it's been there 2 or 3 years in the building that used to be Sekisui on Goodman Road just east Highway 51. I went there the first time a few nights ago and let me tell you, it was great!

I love Mexican food and I go to many Mexican restaurants. I ordered the Maguey quesadilla which had chicken, steak, and shrimp and it was fantastic! The queso was good too.

The price was reasonable for what I got. The total was around $21 including a drink and tax the the quesadilla was huge. I couldn't eat all of it.

I highly recommend them and I will definitely be back soon!

Another Broken Egg is a chain and I usually don't review chains but they are fairly new to our area. There are two locations here and I've been to the on Highland twice. It's located on Highland Street at Walnut Grove road the shopping center there.

Their food is good but they are little pricey. Not bad, just not cheap. Something to watch out for, some of their drinks are pretty expensive. A glass of regular tea is close to $5.

The first time there I got breakfast food (I'm only occasionally in the mood for breakfast food) but I was told I could order anything on the menu any time. The second time I got a club sandwich.

Everything was good and I will definitely go back I'll probably just water to drink.

American Joy Restaurant, Memphis, TN

 No website that I could find but they do deliver through some of the food delivery services.

MAP

American Joy is a small take out only burger and wings shop on Highland Street just south of Park Avenue just before the curve where Highland turns in Prescott.

I stopped by there a few days on the way home from Memphis and got a burger. They seem to be pretty popular. Several people came in to get order while I was there.

The prices were fairly reasonable and the guy was really nice. It seems that the guy that runs the register also cooks so it took a few minutes to get food but it wasn't all that long.

The burger was pretty good. It wasn't as good as I was expecting but I would definitely go there again.

They don't open until 2 PM apparently but they stay open late, until about 3 AM according to google.

1836 Desoto, Olive Branch, MS

1836 Desoto

MAP

1836 Desoto is a new restaurant in downtown Olive Branch a little west of Old Highway 78 and Goodman Road. I've been there twice in the last few weeks and it was pretty. Both times I got shrimp.

The prices aren't bad considering what I got and the fact that it comes with two sides. I would definitely go back and try something new.
