When you live in Mississippi, certain things are just common knowledge. And one of those things is the fact that you can get some great food at gas stations. Whatever you’re craving — from po’ boys and seafood to fried chicken and BBQ — you can find it in a Mississippi gas station. These convenient culinary gems are scattered throughout the state, with one of the best hiding in the small town of Centreville. Read on to learn more about the gas station eatery, which just so happens to serve up some of the tastiest BBQ in Mississippi.
An all-in-one gas station, restaurant, and meat market, Vine Brothers is located along Highway 24 in Centreville. Just keep your eyes peeled for this sign.
In business since 1982, it’s the kind of place only locals know about. Remotely located, it may require a bit of extra effort to get to, but the trek is totally worth it.
In the spirit of true southern hospitality, the restaurant features family-style seating, which means you’ll likely leave with a few new friends (along with a full stomach, of course).
In addition to mouthwatering BBQ, Vine Brothers serves up some great soul food. Even better, it's served buffet style and is available during lunch 7 days a week!
Before leaving, make sure to look around the store portion of Vine Brothers. Not your typical gas station, the shelves include everything from jarred goods to homemade fudge.
And don't forget about the meat. Vine Brothers is a full-service meat market, so there's an impressive variety. Can't decide? You can't go wrong with the sausage, which is made using an old family recipe that consists of a unique blend of herbs and spices.
Visit Vine Brothers at 115 Highway 24 East in Centreville. Both the store and restaurant are open 7 days a week. For more information, including hours of operation, click here.
