Mississippi I-55 Eats?
We'll be driving soon from Memphis to New Orleans and back on Interstate 55. What are some good chowing places to eat on or near the Interstate? All cusines are welcome.
Thanks.

That is a large area to cover (about 350 miles worth). Do you have any specific towns that you are interested in? When you say "near the Interstate" do you mean within 2 blocks or 2 miles? More information, please.

Anything within a few miles of the Interstate should be fair game. We'll be driving from southern Illinois, actually, but we know where we like to stop in Missouri and in Memphis. I don't know where we'll be stopping in Mississippi, since i last drove through there in 1976, and east to west at that. So, juke joints, barbecues, must-visit diners, whatever are all fair game. Hope this helps.

most of my favorite places are at least 30 minutes one way from i-55... Oxford, MS for one. has a few good places to eat.
Mayflower in Downtown Jackson would be good.
I'll try to think of a few others.

Closer to the Memphis end, Como, MS has a really great steakhouse. There's also good pizza there at Windy City Grill.

Walkers is just a couple of blocks from the Interstate and is great. http://www.walkersdrivein.com/
