    You can't go wrong with anything. Jim's cafe has been in business for 90 years and everything on the menu is homemade.

    Best sign ever.

    Jim's is the quintessential small town diner, a perfect fit for a trip through the Mississippi Delta. It looks like nothing's changed in fifty years, right down to the male hen party at the big table in the back, and I don't have a problem with that. We got scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns, grits, and biscuits and gravy. The only thing that wasn't top notch was the gravy, which was on the thin side and tasted more like milk than sausage drippings. But the biscuits are obviously home made, and the hash browns are really crispy and delicious. I asked for hot sauce, and the waitress asked "Do you want bottled or my own?" "Oh, yours" I answered, and boy was I glad! It's thicker than bottled sauce, a little smoky, a little sweet, and I walked out with a big bottle, adorably packaged in a repurposed wine bottle, of my own. I read in a review that they make their own jam, too, and I was kicking myself for not asking for some. I think our waitress was also an owner; she was very sweet and delighted we liked her sauce so much. Eating here is like stepping back to a simpler time, and I will definitely return when my KC-to-New Orleans trips take me through Greenville.

    Made a wrong turn and spotted this Cafe . I love hamburgers and have tried them all over the southern U.S. and they have the best hamburger I've ever eaten ! I highly recommend this place ! Go talk to the Burger King and tell him you want a dirty burger! You want be sorry!

    Bacon!

    When I asked for the best breakfast place in town to two locals they both immediately said Jim's Cafe. Places like this are what makes the Mississippi Delta a destination location to see and eat. Greenville is just a shadow of what it once was. Businesses and people come and go Jim's Cafe weathered the storm. I had bacon biscuits and they were awesome. Handmade biscuits with crispy bacon. One more superb spot. Head to Greenville. See and eat Mississippi.

    Located by the Mississippi River in the cute historic district - this is a must see restaurant. Full of photos of movie stars and memorabilia. Their food is really good too. Ask for the homemade salsa and homemade jam. Made from fresh local produce.

    I frequently travel around Mississippi and the South for work and found the Cotton House to be a…read morebeautiful hotel and overall great stay. When it came to service however, it was severely lacking. Slow, understaffed and rude. I like to look at how a restaurant or bar's higher staff treat their employees. Bar Fontaine's managing staff should be VERY ashamed. I heard management tell off a server and bartender for making a very basic mistake and when I asked them how they liked working there, they simply replied "if I could do it over I would." According to them, the management is super nice to the customers but not to the employees constantly starting drama and making it difficult for an employee to keep their job. The head chef is also apparently a real a-hole and says inappropriate suggestive comments to their female staff as well, the server was telling me. When I was walking out of the hotel on the last day of my stay I encountered one of the managers and talked to them to see how they would treat me. It was an older woman with glasses. She treated me like an old friend which normally I would have enjoyed but this time I was absolutely disgusted. Just from what I was told, I will not be giving service to them again and will not stay at the hotel.

    My first visit since the new restaurant opened was great experience. No reservations are needed…read more Breakfast is over at 1030 then they open for lunch at 11am. We were seated and handed menus. The place wasn't very busy so the food came quick as well! Everything was delicious! Those grits!!! Those grits were amazing!!!!! It was very warm in the restaurant and our waiter said the air was off, so he tried to seat us away from the sun.
