The One Italian-American Restaurant In Mississippi With Surprisingly Delicious Pies

Right on the eastern edge of the Mississippi Delta Region, Greenwood is a charming little town that’s home to one of the oldest restaurants in Mississippi. The Crystal Grill has been serving up some of the south’s finest food for nearly a century, and this is one restaurant where you’ll want to save room for dessert.

Don't let the unassuming exterior fool you...this is one restaurant you'll want to make time for.

The Crystal Grill is a local favorite for a reason!
Family-owned and operated since 1933, this casual eatery is one of those restaurants where families bring the next generation to, just like their parents had done for them.

From filet mignon to hot tamales, there really is something for everyone here.
Of course, you'll also find several Southern staples to enjoy.

Indulge in one of the sky-high seafood towers or splurge on a hamburger steak smothered in gravy for a classic Southern meal that tastes just like grandma used to make.
Just be sure you save room for dessert.

The pies are are some of the best in the state!
Known as the "mile-high meringue," the lemon meringue has just the right amount of tartness to it, easily balanced by that gorgeous meringue topping.
