Food is great, inside is fine, patio is a bit of a dump that stinks like stale beer. Go there, get the burger or fried bologna. Eat inside.

Eat here every time I’m in Tupelo, which is often. Great food, New Orleans atmosphere but with a Mississippi twist. Don’t laugh, but order the fried baloney sandwich. It’s incredible, and everyone had been recommending it for months, but I kept eating their awesome daily specials like duck street tacos and omg. Food comes out quick, so if you want a few drinks, wait to order your food. Staff is engaging and soo very cool. Big patio with a bar out back where you can order food and not have to wait to be seated. One of my favorite places to eat in north Mississippi, and I went to Ole Miss, so i know the area really well. It’s on Glouster very near McCullough, so it’s super easy to get to. Go enjoy yourself.

My husband and I went in November. Melissa was our awesome server. Food/Service/Atmosphere 10/10. Could not have asked for a better evening out. We were there on a Wednesday, so there was no live music. Still packed by 7pm. Great selection of beer. Food was heavenly. Service was top tier! Can’t wait to be back in Tupelo so we can eat here again!

This is dive bar heaven. We are visiting for my graduation and I scoped out this place and it did not disappoint. Tammy our server was fantastic and recommended everything to us: I had the shrimp tacos with elote and they were fantastic. The chicken slider, burgers, birria and crack fries, and blueberry bread pudding are also a must. Awesome beer selection as well. This is a must stop if you’re in the area. We will be back.

I picked this place out while traveling from GA to TX mostly along US 278. I just wanted an authentic local place with good reviews and we found it! An unassuming but strong local vibe. We arrived at about 6:30 with the parking lot already full. We had to give our eyes a second to adjust to the dark interior, but very cool setup once we could see again! Massive number of local and regional craft beer taps. I chose an 1817 IPA (very good). The menu was full of new (to us) and old favorites from Duck Quesadilla to Pork and Greens. Food and drink was great. Our waitress was a sweetheart and so friendly. Overall a great time and highly recommended.

Great food, friendly service and extensive beer choices. I had the Bologna sandwich and it was outstanding. It comes with a side of fries and upgraded with the Crack sauce plus had a pint of beer to wash it down.
