If you’ve ever tried black bottom pie, you know it’s creamy, chocolatey, and, well, downright delicious! And while lots of places serve the decadent dessert, there’s one spot that tops them all, and it’s Mississippi’s very own Weidmann’s.

Weidmann’s is located in Meridian, which is where it’s been since opening as a four-stool diner in 1870.

As much of a landmark as it is an eatery, it’s the oldest restaurant in the state.

Dozens of photos fill its walls, showcasing the famous faces who’ve visited throughout the decades.

However, Weidmann’s diners aren’t its only link to fame. There's also its “world famous” black bottom pie.

Pure confection perfection, the famous pie has topped countless best of lists. It was also featured in the book, Best Places For Everything, by Peter Greenurg.

And while the black bottom pie is Weidmann’s most popular dessert, it’s not the only one. There are several other others to choose from.

In addition to the selection of sweets, Weidmann’s menu includes a slew of entrees, apps, salads, sandwiches, and more.

As an added bonus, every meal includes a quick history lesson, thanks to informative servers, a detailed menu, and time-honored traditions, including the peanut butter crocks and crackers that adorn every table – something that began in 1940, when, due to WWII, butter was scarce.
