Trek To This Remote Country Store In Mississippi For A Mouthwatering Homecooked Meal

By Daniella DiRienzo | Published May 09, 2018

Rural Mississippi is full of so many hidden gems, and you can find one of them in Algoma. The small community with just a few hundred residents probably isn’t on your radar, but it should be – and that’s because it’s home to a country store that serves up mouthwatering, home cooked meals. Take a look:

The Algoma Country Store is located in the tiny town of the same name. As you can see from the map, it’s situated near the Tanglefoot Trail, making it a great place to grab a bite while biking the trail.

Some of the state’s best food can be found in remote locations in unassuming buildings – and that’s exactly the case with the Algoma Country Store.

But according to customers, the out-of-the-way eatery serves up a delicious home cooked fare that makes the trek more than worth it.

It’s open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner Monday through Saturday, from 5 a.m. – 7 p.m. (But no matter which time of the day you visit, an impressive variety is guaranteed.)

The breakfast fare includes biscuits, three kinds of gravy, and a variety of meats. In the afternoon and evening, you can fill up on everything from fast food eats, like burgers, fries, corn nuggets, and chicken-on-a-stick…

…to hearty home cooked classics, like ribs, pork chops, and a variety of vegetables.

Each day of the week brings a new special. On Wednesdays, it’s Fried catfish; Saturdays mean chicken livers and gizzards. Check the store’s Facebook page to see what tasty dishes are served the rest of the week.

And in true southern fashion, the shop carries hot and mild souse along with pickled quail eggs.
