One Of The Largest Restaurants In Mississippi Has 250 Seats And An Unforgettable Menu

They say that good things come in small packages. But, sometimes, good things come in huge packages, like in the case of The Crystal Grill. With 250 seats and a seemingly never-ending maze of dining rooms, it’s one of the largest restaurants in Mississippi. And while its size is impressive, the menu, which boasts an "eccentric spectrum" of dishes, is nothing to scoff at.

The Crystal Grill opened in Greenwood in 1932, making it one of the state’s oldest restaurants.

It’s evolved a lot throughout the decades.

When The Crystal Grill first opened, it was a 60-seat diner called The Elite. In the early years, it catered to C&G Railroad workers, who’d stop in the area for a late-night meal.

Today, after being remodeled and expanded many times over the years, it features numerous small dining rooms and can seat 250 people!

The winding maze of dining rooms is a testament to The Crystal Grill’s decades-long evolution.

It also ensures that the eatery can accommodate the hoards of diners, who visit for the “best pies in the Delta.”

Of course, it’s not just the mile-high meringue pies that bring patrons to The Crystal Grill.

The entire menu is appealing.

It’s also incredibly varied!

In addition to southern classics, it features Greek- and Italian-inspired dishes, steaks, seafood, salads, apps, and lots more.

And while the choices are plentiful, every single item on the menu is fresh, made from scratch, and cooked to order.

Between its imposing size, unforgettable menu, and lengthy history, it’s clear that The Crystal Grill isn’t just a restaurant. It’s a legend!
