Walnut Hills

A Southern institution opened in 1980, famous for its fried chicken and its 'Round Table' lunch, a family-style meal shared on a rotating lazy Susan.

Located in an old house on Adams St in the historic district, it has served 'Round Table' lunch since 1980. Strangers share a large round table, and more than a dozen Southern dishes, including fried chicken, turnip greens, okra, cheese grits, black-eyed peas and cornbread, are placed on a rotating lazy Susan to share. Seating is first come, first served, and large groups can ask about reservations. The 'Southern Plantation Fried Chicken' has a cayenne-spiced crust and has been named Mississippi's best fried chicken several times. Dinner is ordered à la carte. Reviews mention that service can be slow at times. It is about 1 km from the riverfront historic district, and driving or taking a taxi is convenient.
