Some states are packed with underground sites and attractions. Mississippi? Not so much, but they do exist, and the Underground Café is one of them. The aptly named restaurant is tucked away in the basement of a building. Aside from the unique location, it’s the made-from-scratch cuisine that customers can’t stop talking about. Take a closer look at the one-of-a-kind eatery below.

A local favorite, the Underground Cafe is located in Hernando’s town square on Memphis Street.
