An Old-School, No-Frills Eatery, Handy Andy In Mississippi Has Been A Local Favorite Since The 1970s

“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” That old adage seems to hold true for Handy Andy Grocery. The eatery has been serving up great grub since the 1970s. But it’s not just consistently delicious food patrons can count on. The old-school, no-frills eatery has remained virtually unchanged throughout the decades, which means each meal is served with a side of nostalgia. Take a look:

An Oxford staple, Handy Andy has been serving up a fantastic fare of BBQ, burgers, and more since opening its doors in the 1970s.

The consistently delicious grub has become a favorite of diners from all walks of life - from college students and alumni to federal judges and police officers.

A palate-pleasing menu isn’t the only thing about the eatery that hasn’t changed in years, though.

The restaurant itself hasn’t changed much over the years. Just like in the past, it remains free of fills.

Instead, the focus is on the menu, which isn’t huge but is brimming with local flavor.

The BBQ has always been a top-seller, and that’s not surprising since it’s real pit BBQ. But BBQ isn’t the only popular item on the menu.

Fried hot dogs and burgers are also customer favorites at Handy Andy Grocery.

Grilled to perfection, the burgers are juicy, full of flavor, and sure to hit the spot.

And since the burgers come in three different sizes - single, double, and triple – they’re sure to satisfy appetites of all proportions.

Serving up good, old-fashioned grub in a setting to match, a visit to Handy Andy Grocery is practically guaranteed to be a satisfying one!
