This One Street In Mississippi Has Every Type Of Restaurant You Can Imagine
When you’re hungry and craving some good food, it’s nice to have options. And when it comes to options, there’s one particular street in Mississippi that provides plenty. Located in the charming coastal community of Ocean Springs, Government Street boasts an array of restaurants, which includes everything from mouthwatering burgers to some of the country’s best donuts. Take a look:
At over 300 years old, Ocean Springs is loaded with history, beauty, and charm, making it easy to see why it’s known as the "gem of the Gulf Coast."
A charming downtown full of shops, galleries, and restaurants is one of Ocean Springs’ best features. The town has even received the "Great American Main Street Award."
When hunger strikes, Government Street, one of the main roadways in the downtown area, is the place to go. Lined with a ton of great restaurants, you (or your stomach) won’t be disappointed.
The hearty burgers, which are made with 1/3 lb patties, are a specialty. After being grilled to perfection, they’re served with standard toppings as well as Creole mustard and mayo for a deliciously tangy kick.
Opened since the 1960s, the shop is famous for its signature donuts, which are made from potato dough – hence the name. Head to the local favorite, and you’ll find everything from traditional glazed donuts to custom creations.
Looking for another international option? Check out Phoenicia, where you’ll find Greek and Lebanese cuisine that attracts diners from as far away as New Orleans, Alabama, and Florida.
Each and every entrée is made using authentic recipes and fresh ingredients, making it easy to see why the eatery has won numerous awards, including "Restaurant of the Year."
The creative menu is full of pizzas named after some of Hollywood’s biggest stars. So, order the Jimi Hendrix, Frank Sinatra, or Lucille Ball, grab a locally brewed beer, and enjoy your pizza on the outdoor patio - while listening to some live music.
