Miss Dees, Batesville, MS

MAP

Miss Dees is a small cafe in Batesville on Terza Road a couple of miles south of Highway 35 North. They don't seem to have a website.

I went there a couple of weeks ago for the first time and it was FANTASTIC!

They have a limited menu, pretty much burgers, wings, chicken, bologna, and pork chop sandwich, and fish.

The double was so large I couldn't eat it all and Miss Dee is very friendly!

I can't recommend this place enough and I will make it a point to go back!

Maciel's is a local taco shop with several locations. I went to the midtown location a few weeks ago and it was really good.

I ordered a chicken quesadilla and a street taco and both were really great. The price was reasonable for what I got. I think it was about $22 for everything.

Vintage on Main

MAP

Vintage on Main is a vintage store on Main Street (Stateline Road) just east of Highway 51 on the north side. I heard about it several weeks ago and finally got over there a few days.

I met the owner who is a really nice guy and bought several items. I bought several books, a couple of which I had as a kid, a TV tray I used to have, a handheld racing game I used to have, and the entire set of Star Trek the Original Series DVD that they happen to have.

My total was only a little over $100 for everything and he gave me a Batman coffee cup too.

They have a great of selection of items and I would highly recommend checking them out if you like vintage items.

There were several other items I was interested in so I will go back and check them out again.

They are open limited hours, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 12 PM to 5 PM and 1 PM to 4 PM on Sunday.

Lopez Grill

MAP

Lopez Grill is a new Mexican restaurant in Bartlett on Stage Road just west of Shelby Street and the railroad tracks on the south side. I went there a couple of weeks for the first time and was really impressed.

The food was great, the prices were very reasonable, and the service was great. They get pretty busy during peak hours so I recommend you go early.

I got a chicken quesadilla and my friend got a shrimp and chicken entree. I highly recommend them and will absolutely be back!

Kabuki is a new sushi and seafood restaurant in Horn Lake on Goodman Road just east Interstate Boulevard. I went there for the first time two weeks ago and I really liked.

I ordered two sushi rolls. I don't remember the specific ones I got but they were both good. The prices were about average for a sushi restaurant. I think my total was around $25 including a drink.

I definitely recommend them and I will be back.

The Pancake Shop, Memphis, TN

The Pancake Shop

MAP

The Pancake Shop is a small diner in Memphis on Summer Avenue just west of North Mendenhall Road on the north side. It's been there for many years and I used to go there quite a bit. They used to be open 24 hours per days but since COVID they have limited hours. They are open 6:00 AM - 1:30 PM every day except Wednesday according their website.

I went there a few days ago for breakfast and it was as good as I remember. I got the country breakfast combo and also got a side of order two pancakes. The pancakes were bigger than I expected and I didn't eat all of them.

The prices are still very reasonable. They may have gone up a little bit since COVID but if so, it's not much. Everything I got was only around $23 including a drink and tax.

I highly recommend them and I will be back! It's worth mentioning they only take cash but they do have an ATM in the restaurant.

Mr. Greek is a Greek diner in Biloxi on Pass Road in a small shopping center just east of Glenn Avenue. I was in Biloxi a few weeks ago and stopped there for lunch one day.

Shaggy's is a seafood restaurant with a couple of locations. I was in Biloxi a few weeks and stopped by the location there for lunch with some friends.

We got a variety of items. I ordered fish and shrimp and a margarita, someone else ordered gator bites, and someone else ordered shrimp a shrimp pasta dish.

I have been there previously but it's been a few years ago.

Prices were average for what I got and everything was really good. I will definitely go back!

Woody's

MAP

Woody's is an American style restaurant with several locations in southern Mississippi. I was in the Biloxi area a few weeks ago and had dinner at the location in Ocean Springs which is right on Interstate 90 just east of Treasure Bay Casino.

I ordered catfish and shrimp and it was really. I don't remember the exact price but it was about average for what I got.

I don't remember what my friends got but they said their food was good also. 

I will definitely go back.

 

8 Ounce Burger Bar, Horseshoe Casino, Tunica, MS

8 Ounce Burger Bar

MAP

The 8 Ounce Burger Bar is the all night cafe at Horseshoe Casino in Tunica, MS which is about 30-40 miles south of Memphis, TN (depending on where you are in Memphis). I have been there before and thought I had posted about it but apparently it was a few years ago before I was doing this blog.

I went there last week while on vacation and got a chicken nachos and then went back a week or so later and got a jalepeno burger. The chicken nachos were okay but I should have ordered beef instead. Their beef nachos are better.

If you have to pay the prices are reasonable. I think my total with a salad (both times) and a drink was around $25.

It's a great choice if you're in the area and want a late night dinner, although I'm pretty sure they are open 24 hours a day.

 

Other recent trips:

10th Inning Bar, Southaven, MS - Sausage and cheese plate, one of the best in the city

 

Frank's Pub, Robinsonville, MS - Country fried steak, also one of the best in the area

 

Cousin's Maine Lobster various locations

Cousin's Maine Lobster

Cousin's Maine Lobster is a food truck franchise that has locations in various cities. A few weeks ago the Nashville, TN truck was in Olive Branch, MS and I was able to stop by and try them and I must say, for the price, it was really good.

I got a Connecticut Roll (warm with melted butter), a Maine Roll (cold), and clam chowder and it was really good.

The price was around $30 or $35 for everything which is really reasonable considering at most places just a single roll is $30.

I definitely recommend checking them out if they are in your area.
