Though Daniella was born in New York and has lived in a couple of other states, Mississippi has been her home for more than 30 years. After graduating from the University of Southern Mississippi, Daniella began to hone her writing skills through various internships. In the years since, she’s had the privilege of having her articles appear in several publications, such as the Mississippi-based Parents & Kids Magazine. She’s also had the honor of interviewing actress Sela Ward for The Mississippi Arts and Entertainment Experience.
Some of the best sites in Mississippi are also some of the most historic. And that’s exactly the case with Abe’s Grill. Located in Corinth, the restaurant has been opened for over 40 years! Never wavering from the original menu, the iconic eatery has been serving up the same mouthwatering fare throughout its entire existence. And after one bite, the reason the restaurant has never changed its recipes becomes clear – every item on the menu is already perfect. From authentic country breakfasts to delicious burgers, Abe’s Grill is a must visit. Take a look:
In business for over 4 decades, Abe’s Grill is much more than a restaurant – it’s a local institution.
In addition to being located on a Civil War landmark, it’s also home to award-winning burgers and the "mid-south's favorite homemade biscuit."

From the moment you arrive at Abe’s, which is constructed of a mixture of signs, placards, and a variety of other items, it’s clear you’re in for a real treat.
The iconic eatery is open Monday through Friday for breakfast and lunch. The early morning fare is served each day from 5 am until they "run out" - or about 10:30 am.
Get there early and you won’t be disappointed. In addition to fluffy homemade biscuits, the authentic country breakfast also includes favorites, like sawmill gravy, chocolate gravy, country ham, and more.
Though not huge, the menu is filled with a bevy of mouthwatering burgers and sandwiches, like the Ribeye Sandwich. The tasty creation has been a lunchtime favorite for years.
From being in business for over 40 years to being named the "Best Place in the State to Ruin Your Diet," Abe’s Grill is a true destination restaurant that’s worth the trek.
