Mississippi restaurants come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Some are hole-in-the-walls, some are in the middle of nowhere, some are huge, and some are teeny tiny. And if you’re interested in the latter, you’ve come to the right place. After doing a bit of searching, we found 10 of the state’s tiniest restaurants. But don’t let the size of these eateries fool you. They may be small, but they’re BIG on flavor. Take a look:
Please note, Rosie’s Cafe is temporarily closed.
Housed in a tiny trailer, it doesn’t get much smaller than this Greenville eatery. But that’s okay because what the restaurant lacks in size, it more than makes up for in flavor. As the name implies, hot tamales are the specialty, but the menu also includes burgers, sandwiches, and more. Visit Hot Tamale Heaven at 1640 US-82, Greenville, MS 38703.
