With so many great restaurants in the Magnolia State, it’s easy to miss the opening of a new one. For example, did you know about Nana J’s Soulful Kitchen in Ocean Springs? The eatery opened a couple of years ago, but is already a huge hit thanks to its menu of authentic soul food. Take a look:

Still fairly new, Nana J’s Soulful Kitchen became part of the Ocean Springs culinary scene in 2016.

It’s housed in a modest, unassuming building, so unless you know what you’re looking for, it can be easy to miss. Luckily, though, it’s located right off of Washington Avenue, so it’s easy to get to.
