My husband and I wanted a little date night so we decided to drive to Chatterbox. We have only…read moreeaten there once before and that was about 20 years ago. We arrived when they opened so we were seated immediately. Our party of 2 was seated at a table for 8 but ok. We had a nice view of the pond. Our side salad came to the table before our appetizer. We ordered fried pickle spears as an appetizer. They came out PIPING hot and were good. The salad was pale lettuce, a sprinkling of cheese and 1 cherry tomato cut in half. It was a pathetic salad but even worse was that it was served in a red plastic bowl. I know that I may be different but I don't like to eat out of plastic. I'm not sure why they couldn't put it on a plate or in a real bowl. My ribeye was good. It had a great flavor and was cooked perfectly mid-rare to order. My husband ordered the larger ribeye. He ordered his medium but it came out medium rare. He didn't want to send it back so he kept it. He doesn't care for the texture of mid-rare so it was a struggle for him to eat it. What made it worse was the gristle running through the whole steak. There's no reason for a quality ribeye to have gristle in it. Overall, the service was good. The restaurant decor was very outdated. The music was so loud that we couldn't hold a conversation across the table. We probably won't be repeat customers.

The wait was minimal and at no point during our time, there did service slowdown. Once we were seated our waitress, I want to say her name is Shelby was simply amazing so attentive, provided excellent selections. Everything she suggested we tried and it was phenomenal. The fish was fried in a way that I've never had before lightly battered well seasoned. The fish tastes so clean no after taste of swamp water. She informed us that we could try the blackened grilled and fried fish. My favorite was the grilled and second best would be fried, the blackened wasn't bad at all the other two just stood out way more. I know you'll probably say what all could you do to a baked potato to make it amazing I don't know what they do to their potatoes, but my simply loaded potato was off the chain. The pinto beans with fresh cut onions was also really good. I love that they are only open three days a week for five hours each day basically get it when you can and although this is roughly an hour plus drive I will be making a return visit at least once a Month. Great experience overall.

As soon as you're seated, you'll have a tempting signboard presented at your table with every southern classic you can imagine. With entrees like fried chicken and catfish, endless sides like turnip greens, white beans, and just about anything you can imagine fried, and every kind of southern pie, it's all there. The catfish is magnificent, with that wonderfully gritty cornmeal batter surrounding flaky, tender fish. The complimentary roll is also delicious! And the servers are very nice here! But there are some downsides. The fried okra, my favorite southern side dish, is actually soft and soggy. No self respecting southerner would ever make soggy fried okra. It's about the worst I ever had. And the onion rings, which are hard to mess up, were burnt black and lacked flavor. They were inedible. The cashier is rude and doesn't have time for "thank you" or small talk or a smile or even giving you your receipt when nobody else is in line to pay their bill. That's just how it is. If you want good catfish, Sling Shot Charlie's will come through. But if you want a southern culinary experience that's enjoyable, there are much better places to have it!

In a small town, I usually expect decent food at best--something reheated off a Sysco truck. Instead, this place completely surprised us. The food was outstanding. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. We were told the food is prepared fresh daily and the menu can change, which explains a lot. Portions are huge--we actually ended up sharing plates just so we could try more items. Service was excellent: friendly, attentive, and helpful without hovering. The staff was happy to talk about what they've tried on the menu and what they recommend. There's limited outdoor seating, but if the weather cooperates I definitely recommend grabbing a table outside. From what we saw, the inside looked very clean and well kept. This has officially become our new weekend meetup spot. We're already going back this Saturday, and I plan to keep trying something new until I've worked my way through the whole menu. One last thing that meant a lot to me: they allowed me to bring in my sugar-free root beer. Since that's the only beverage I drink, that little bit of flexibility made the experience even better. Highly recommend.

Yet somehow, I'm also enjoying an elegant dinner that I didn't have to cook myself. The drinks are reasonably priced, and so is the food -- especially considering each dish is truly a work of art. You can absolutely tell this restaurant loves what they do, and they do it beautifully every single time I've been here. It may not be for everyone, particularly if you're used to heavily processed fast food at "fast food" prices -- which, honestly, aren't much cheaper these days. The difference here is that the meals are thoughtfully prepared, healthier, more filling, and far more delicious. If you appreciate quality, creativity, and care in your dining experience, this place delivers every time.

From the outside it basically is a block building, but inside it is a food haven that appeals to your taste buds. I ordered a cheeseburger with fries, and 'sweet tea' on the side. The previous night I had eaten somewhere in Collierville that didn't offer 'sweet tea' and they looked at me like they were unfamiliar with the term. Thankfully, just across the border in Mississippi, my love for the South was reaffirmed. The service was excellent and was just the friendly, polite, fast attention to my needs that I would expect from a local dive. After all, we treat people like family in the South; until they give us reason not to! The atmosphere was pleasant with a family feel, clean, well lit, and no music blaring. My waitress was attentive, positive, and quick to see to my needs while dining. My food arrived and it was delicious. The bun was perfect, the burger better than even I could have hoped, and the service remained excellent. They had quite an array of desserts, but after the sweet tea, I didn't imbibe. If you are ever in Olive Branch, MS you must try '1836 DeSoto!'
