Mississippi is full of great restaurants, and you should make it a point to visit as many of them as possible. In fact, a great resolution would be to try a few new restaurants in the upcoming year. And this list of restaurants that we featured throughout 2017 is the perfect place to start. From hidden gems to award winning eateries, here are 12 restaurants you’ve got to try in 2018.
Since opening over 40 years ago, Abe’s has been dishing up the same mouthwatering fare of hearty sandwiches, award winning burgers, and the "mid-south's favorite homemade biscuit."
Serving up an award winning, authentically southern fare, The Blue Biscuit lives up to its promise of "great food smack dab in the middle of the Mississippi Delta,"
Starting off as a grocery store, Anthony’s is now a "world class" restaurant that features a menu full of tasty steaks, seafood, and Cajun inspired dishes.
In spite of its obscure location, Como Steakhouse has won numerous awards. Most recently, its filet mignon was included in Memphis Magazine’s "Top 10 Dishes for 2017."
Despite being tucked away in a tiny town, this restaurant’s fried chicken has been featured in countless publications and referred to as the "best in the world" on countless occasions.
Jerry’s may not look like your standard fish house on the outside but inside you’ll find some of the tastiest fried catfish in the state, which is served "all you can eat" along with French fries, coleslaw. and hushpuppies.
A stop on the Mississippi Culinary Trail, this Jackson eatery has been in business since the 1940s. Though most widely known for its burgers, the restaurant’s po’boys are also a must try.
