\nThere\u2019s nothing fancy here. You place your order at the counter, pay in cash, take a number, and pick up your food. But the ability to come as you are to dine out some truly outstanding barbecue makes this place a cut above the rest.<\/p>\n2. Tacos And Tapas And Cocktails, Oh My<\/h2>\n

\nThis Mexican small plates restaurant will impress you so much, you\u2019ll avoid those popular chains you used to frequent at all costs. Although the tacos are definitely a varsity menu item here, the tapas are delicious and make for an awesome way to sample a little bit of everything.
\nWhatever you order, though, make sure that it includes the grilled chicken satte topped with smoked corn pico de gallo.<\/p>\n3. Too Many Cooks In The Kitchen Is A Good Thing At Two Sisters Kitchen<\/h2>\n

\nWhen it comes to seafood, there are few places that are comparable to South Mississippi. Darwell\u2019s in Long Beach is one of the restaurants which showcases exactly what makes it so good.
\nBut even though the seafood is the reason that you go to Darwell\u2019s, the dessert is the reason that you\u2019ll be daydreaming to come back. With some of the most decadent and indulgent desserts you\u2019ll find anywhere, these unique concoctions take the term sweet tooth to a whole new level.<\/p>\n5.

\nLocated in the historic railroad depot in the old strawberry city of Madison, The Strawberry Caf\u00e9 started as the first restaurant in the city back in 1987. Nearly 30 years later, it\u2019s still standing.
\nThe food is excellent any time of the day, with crab claws and sweet potato fries and po boys waiting for you. But it\u2019s the brunch that will make you a loyal fan, with a variety of hearty options with generous portions.<\/p>\n6. The Big Bad Breakfast Won\u2019t Eat Your Grandma<\/h2>\n

\nWhen you have a name like The Big Bad Breakfast, it better live up to the hype. They mastered their potatoes perfectly, but save all those starches for the real goodies like red velvet pancakes, pancakes, chocolate covered pretzels, fresh macaroons, cake bites, and more. Some stiff mimosas and bloody Mary mixers will help you wash it all down, reminding you why brunch is a way more important meal than breakfast.<\/p>\n7. Gyros Galore Krilakis<\/h2>\n

\nWhen you\u2019re craving Greek food, making the trip to Ridgeland might just be worth it for you. With some of the best gyros around, Krilakis never disappoints. But beyond the gyros, the options just keep getting better. Awesomely fresh hummus, sweet buns, Greek salads and even some surprisingly great burgers. And the baklava is worth the trip alone.<\/p>\n8. Get Pho Real At Little Saigon<\/h2>\n

\nThis Vietnamese gem is tucked away in Brandon but is much more than other overly Americanized-Asian restaurants. The grilled pork vermicelli is one of the most standout menu options that will pique your curiosity to what else this place has in store for you.
\nGrilled teriyaki sandwiches, spring rolls, and some seriously good pho is the just the tip of the iceberg. And the best part is that even though each dish is packed with flavor, everything here is MSG-free.<\/p>\n9. A Cajun Lovers\u2019 Dram At 303 Jefferson<\/h2>\n

\nDowntown Clinton isn\u2019t exactly overflowing with places to eat but 303 Jefferson more than makes up for it. This Cajun-Creole spot brings a lot of flavor to a small area. And with creations like their Back Bay Smoked Tuna Dip, it could rival the biggest names in Jackson.
\nOrder the shrimp with grits, and come for lunch to enjoy one of their various hot plate specials and wash it down with a good, old fashioned sweet tea.<\/p>\n10. Grab A Bite And A Jolt At The Grind<\/h2>\n

\nPrepare to fall in love with pizza all over again when you come to The Manship Wood Fired Kitchen. Located in the historic Belhaven neighborhood of Jackson, this Mediterranean restaurant emphasizes authentic dishes with just enough southern flare.
\nThe vibe here is heavier on the chic than it is the shabby, creating a modern environment that you won\u2019t want to leave. Once you take a bite into their handcrafted, wood-fired pies, you\u2019ll wonder why you\u2019ve been wasting so much time on all those delivery places.<\/p>\n12.

\nThere are burgers, and then there are burgers from The Parlor Market. They\u2019re kind that you get in a drive-thru and the kind that would make Ron Swanson weep tears of joy.
\nSeasonal Southern cuisine is The Parlor\u2019s specialty, with an outstanding menu featuring locally sourced and super fresh ingredients filled with creativity. But when you can load a burger up with everything but the kitchen sink, don\u2019t be surprised when that\u2019s all anyone can talk about.<\/p>\n13. Come For More Than Just The Keg & Barrel<\/h2>\n

\nKeg and Barrel might sound like just another bar if you were to judge it based on the name alone. Yes, there is plenty to drink here (with over 120 selections, that\u2019s even a bit of an understatement). But it\u2019s the food that really stands out, Try the oysters or come for Southern staple of chicken and waffles, which Keg and Barrel has managed to knock out of the ballpark.<\/p>\n14.
