Walnut Hills

On a mission for Chicken and Waffles, found a review for this restaurant. They no longer had this on the menu, so we looked for something quick, as we were passing through. Couldn't resist the pimento cheese and Louisiana sausage appetizer, an odd combo, but really good. Fried pickles were great. Crab cake/salad awesome. Can't say how the catfish po'boy was, because I was too stuffed to beg a bite from my husband. The prices here might look steep, but the size of the portions was ample. Service was slow since they had a little league team party ahead of us. Our server was gracious, but there was another server that not only bumped my chair in passing, but then tried to run over me on my way back from the bathroom. We didn't mind the delay with the food, because the Blues musicians came on at 6 pm, and if we hadn't had to wait, we'd have missed the best part of the experience. I think we'll be back when we have time to sit and listen.

We were passing through Vicksburg and stopped at their visitor center to get ideas of what to see and where to eat in Vicksburg. A young southern belle in a pink hoop skirted dress suggested Walnut Hill Restaurant. The food was authentic southern cooking. Fresh flaky catfish fried in corn meal served with vegetables seasoned to perfection did not disappoint us. Walnut Hill has charm and great food. Don't miss it if you are in Vicksburg.

The food, whether on the "pitch 'til you win" round table or served as plate lunches, is superb. The service is quick and the wait staff polite and efficient.

A visit to Walnut Hills Restaurant in Vicksburg, Mississippi, is a fabulous experience. As well as having the best Southern cuisine in the South, it is located in an historic 1880s house and the atmosphere is remarkable. The food is meats and vegetables prepared as unique dishes reflecting Southern Plantation Cuisine. Their "Businessman's Blue Plate Special Lunch" is fantastic and popular with most Vicksburgers. A place you don't want to miss.

A full ala carte menu is also available and their bar's ambience is fit for it's location on the Delta Blues Highway in historic "Oldtown" Vicksburg. It is truly "a gathering place" for locals and world travelers alike.
