Usually, hidden gems are tucked away in tiny towns, but that’s not always the case. Mississippi’s larger cities have their own fair share of secret sites just waiting to be discovered. And one hidden spot that belongs on your radar is The Stables in Tupelo. Tucked away in an alleyway, the eatery is easy to pass up, but you definitely don’t want to do that. Take a look:

Despite a location in downtown Tupelo, The Stables grill and bar is often overlooked — and that’s because it’s tucked in a narrow brick alley.

According to the owner, some lifelong residents don’t even know it exists!
The alleyway, which is named Davis Alley, is located across from the Lee County Courthouse and marked with a sign, so just keep your eyes peeled.

The eatery’s official address is 206 N. Spring St. Ste. 3 in Tupelo.
A longtime local favorite, The Stables offers up home-cooked lunch specials, tasty cocktails, live music on the weekends, and what many refer to as the best burger in Tupelo.

It’s not uncommon for the lunchtime crowd to reach 200, so a wait is likely (but well worth it).

About 75 percent of The Stables’ customers are repeat customers — and that says a lot.
