It’s a historic restaurant in Mississippi where you can experience a true, no-frills, Southern meal in a very unique atmosphere. Come hungry and let’s feast on the best down-home cookin’ that money can buy.

Housed in a former gas station, the Historic Klondyke Trading Post Restaurant is one of the oldest restaurants in the state.

The building and surrounding area have a history older than the state itself.
It’s safe to say that many, many generations have frequented this historic spot.

The current restaurant has been around since the 1930s. Before that, some variation of a restaurant, saloon, or bar has set up shop here since the 1890s! And even before that, the location can be traced back to a time when indigenous Americans used the area as a trading post. Its close proximity to both the Yazoo River and Glass Bayou made it a prime spot for trading goods with other tribes.
When it comes to down-home, southern meals, nothing compares to Klondyke.

Just look at that plate! By now, your mouth should be watering because mine is!
