It’s Confirmed, Old Country Store Is The Best Small Town Restaurant In Mississippi  

Small town Mississippi is rife with renowned restaurants and culinary gems. However, there’s one that reigns supreme – and it’s the Old Country Store. Despite its location in a tiny town, it’s garnered the attention of everyone from locals to die-hard foodies and well-known critics. And the consensus is the same…the restaurant’s fried chicken is amazing! Take a look:

Tucked away in the tiny unincorporated community of Lorman, you’ll find The Old Country Store, which, according to Thrillist, is the

You’d be hard-pressed to find someone who disagrees with Thrillist’s assessment. For years, people have traveled from near and far to visit the eatery.

Or more specifically, get a taste of its famous fried chicken. Over the years, numerous accolades have been bestowed upon the crisp, flavorful chicken…

…and the man behind it, Mr. D, who often greets – and sometimes, serenades – diners.

The “best fried chicken in the world” is served on a buffet alongside a slew of southern favorites, which change daily.

Surprisingly, the “heavenly” fried chicken, which, by the way, is made using Mr. D’s grandmother’s recipe, isn’t the only thing that’s made The Old Country Store famous.

True to its name, the restaurant is housed in an old general store from the 1800s.

And just like general stores of the past, it’s stocked with a myriad of merchandise that includes everything from kitschy décor to bundles of books.
