This Small Town Mississippi Restaurant Was Named One Of The Best In America      

We Mississippians know that the Magnolia State is full of amazing restaurants; however, it’s always nice when outsiders acknowledge it. And that’s just what happened earlier this year when The Daily Mail included a Mississippi eatery on its list of the "best restaurants in America." Take a look:

Only one Mississippi restaurant landed a spot on The Daily Mail’s list — and it was City Grocery in Oxford.

The eatery opened in 1992. To this day, it remains a “culinary cornerstone” of Oxford, which is quite the feat considering the city is often revered for its impressive food scene.

Housed in a former livery stable in the heart of the historic Oxford square, a visit to City Grocery is a treat right from the start.

Pine floors, exposed brick, and a second-floor balcony all combine, creating an atmosphere that’s both elegant and casual.

The mouthwatering menu is also a mix of elegant and casual.

Serving up a French-inspired Southern fare, the menu features a combination of local favorites to innovative culinary creations.

Continually wowing diners and critics alike, the food is described as some of the “most inventive and interesting” in the South.

The tasty selection doesn’t end with City Grocery’s menu, though. The eatery’s upstairs bar has a menu of its own, which includes muffulettas, burgers, wings, and more.

Regardless of which menu you order from, you’ll have the option of dining on the second-floor balcony.

A definite perk, the elevated dining area offers incredible views of The Square.

So, are you ready to plan a visit to this Oxford favorite? For more information, call City Grocery at (662) 232-8080. You can also visit the City Grocery website or Facebook page.
