This Humble Little Restaurant In Small Town Mississippi Is So Old Fashioned, It Doesn’t Even Have A Website

For a restaurant, a small town locale and no online presence is almost certainly a recipe for disaster – but not always. Frostop in Mississippi checks both boxes. It’s nestled in a small town and doesn’t have a website; however, that hasn’t stopped the decades-old drive-in from acquiring a loyal following and making a name for itself as one of the most famous restaurants in Mississippi.

Frostop can be found in Picayune, a small town in Pearl River County.

Basically a town landmark, it’s been doling out great grub at affordable prices since the 1950s.

At one time it was one of more than 350 Frostop Drive-Ins.

The iconic chain drive-ins, adorned with giant mugs of root beer, were synonymous with creamy root beer floats and cream soda concoctions. Today, independently owned Frostop Drive-Ins are scattered throughout the U.S.

Dining at the restaurant is somewhat of a tradition for local families, and that’s fitting since running the restaurant has been a family affair since the start.

Today, the original owner’s grandkids run Frostop – along with a staff that’s as loyal as the customer base.

Several generations in and Frostop’s success hasn’t dwindled. It’s the opposite, actually.

Lines often form outside the restaurant before it opens and crowds are the norm, as hungry diners can’t seem to get enough of Frostop’s fare, which is both affordable and delicious.

The menu includes a mix of drive-in classics and local favorites.

Roast beef po’ boys are a top-seller, and it’s plain to see why!

They're overstuffed with flavorful roast beef and, most importantly, messy – a tell-tale sign of a good roast beef po’ boy.

The burgers are also a popular item.

Really, though, there isn’t a bad item on the menu. Even the sides, such as French fries and onion rings, receive rave reviews from patrons.

Like we said before, crowds are common, so expect a wait.

The ordering process moves quickly, though - partly because you can place your order inside at the counter or outside at the walk-up window.

Have any questions? Since Frostop doesn’t have a website or Facebook page, you’ll have to contact the old-fashioned restaurant in an old-fashioned way – by telephone. Call Frostop at (601) 798-4981. One thing we can tell you, though, is that you'll need to bring cash. Frostop does NOT accept credit or debit cards.

Believe it or not, Frostop is just one of the famous restaurants in Mississippi you'll find in Picayune. The small town is also home to Paul’s Pastry Shop, a renowned bakery with patrons around the world.
