Excellent food and service! Turns out the wife owns SoDelta, which is a couple of doors down. They offer for sale many made in Mississippi items and items made by Mississippians. The food was great! Pasta salad with pimento cheese and a chicken salad sandwich. My friend also had the pasta salad and the blackened chicken sandwich. A great little place with history. It used to be the historic McCormick Book Inn.

Pleasantly surprised about the food and service.. The fish, cod I believe, is much better than Long John Silvers. About the right amount of breading. Good selection of sides. I chose green beans and steamed broccoli. Hush pups could have been cooked a little longer.

Ate there many times over the years, uses good frozen veggies, good meats, love their food. They do a great lunch business. Evening business is just so so. I had the Chicken Fried Steak which was 2 pieces of cubed pork (I believe). Good flavor and tender. Served with brown (?) gravy. Most places use a white County Gravy. Onion rings were just the average bought rings served with a ranch dressing. Wife had the broiled shrimp and baked potato. Got 9 medium shrimp that were cooked good with a little cajun seasoning. The salads were fresh and crisp. It was all OK, not outstanding but OK.

Jim's Cafe

Reviewed By roadmap2

There are only a couple places in Greenville that are opened for breakfast. Jim s place had good reviews so we thought we would try it. We were disappointed on our visit. Service was slow, breakfasts came out lukewarm and on the greasy side and not made to order. Jim s place is an older place in the center of downtown.

Good food I ordered rabbits with house potatoes oysters with broiled lemon garlic shrimp it was good butt portion sizes could be larger I took my seven-year-old son he enjoyed my rabbit more than I do because he took it off my plate and ate it. And it was delightful. Like a Korean barbecue flavor. Will visit again.

Cajun Shotgun House and BBQ

Reviewed By amars662

I placed a pickup order for the Combination Plate, which came with chicken, sausage, ribs, pulled pork and two sides (baked beans and potato salad). The potato salad was really good and beans okay (would definitely eat them both again). However, they were a bit stingy with the baked beans. I had about 4 tablespoons of it lol. The sausage was good and plentiful and the chicken was well-cooked with decent flavor. The ribs were ehhhh, I’m thinking they were cooked the previous day and reheated. If they were fresh, they probably would have been great. The biggest letdown of the meal was the pulled pork. It looked like someone had chewed the pork and spit it on the plate. It didn’t taste like it was done in-house, but instead like a purchased, frozen pulled pork product that was heated and then reheated several times…the worst ever! This is definitely not the place for ribs or pulled pork.

Gino's Hamburgers

Reviewed By amars662

Gino’s is the one restaurant I have to go to whenever I’m visiting my hometown. They have provided consistent food since before I can remember. The catfish sandwich is amazing. It comes with one piece of fish, but if you ask for a large, you’ll get two. It’s not on the menu though. The coleslaw on it is the best and I always add cheese for additional flavor. Gino’s is also known for its burgers, which are great with chili and coleslaw added. The drive-through can be slow if there are several cars. However, that’s fine because I always get hot, fresh food. On my last visit, I asked if they had lemonade. The lady said yes and I ordered it. When she passed me the drink, I asked why it was pinkish. She told me it was pink lemonade. That would have been nice to know before I ordered it. There was also something floating in it, so that’s the reason for the 4 star review. Next time, I’ll just drink something at home lol.

Reviewed By Traveller68845

New to the area and needed an early dinner, so steered here from Tripadvisor! We had the fried green tomato appetizer (a little different for us midwesterners, but very good!) For dinner I had the catfish lafitte, which I thoroughly enjoyed. My wife had shrimp pasta ... overload on the portion, but she did like it very much. Restaurant is located in a repurposed old Sears building in downtown Greenville. Nicely redone with bare red brick walls and an interesting decor. Maybe a little pricey ... but we did enjoy ourselves.

Sherman's Restaurant

Locally Owned Neighborhood Restaurant Serving The Mississippi Delta Since 1947.

Reviewed By 964john

Family ate there on two occasions. All food (steaks, fish, pasta. salads) was very good and the restaurant appeared to be nice and clean. Service was generally good but we had a few mishaps. As the waitress was clearing our table she accidentally spilled a container of liquid butter on my coat. She was obviously in a hurry and rushed to another table without saying a word. It was not a big deal but I thought she could at least apologize. The second night we dined there the service was somewhat slow. The cashier explained that one of their waitresses had called in sick.

The salad and tamales were fantastic. The staff was very nice. But for $65 the porterhouse was lackluster. Requested medium rare, one side was medium and the other side was rare, and it was fatty with a lot of gristle. Not a destination eatery but if you are passing thru worth a visit. Almost everyone else there was sticking with salad and tamales.
