We've eaten here several times and we always leave saying the same thing "That was just ok". Our most recent visit was a weekday lunch and we sat at the bar. After almost 10 minutes of sitting there and not being given as much as a glass of water, I asked my husband if we were invisible. We finally were given menus and placed our order. No one checked on us and we had to flag someone down to pay. Great location on the square, quaint - nothing fancy but there are many other options. read more

Went here for lunch because that is quite literally the only time you can come here and it was solid. Had a couple drinks and the atmosphere was lively for a Saturday on the square in Oxford. Bartenders and waiters were all either drunk or stoned but that doesn't really bother me that much. Sandwich was decent fries were eh. read more

I didn't know I wanted to have a meet and three until we stumbled upon this place. Good draft beer selection. The live music for Sunday brunch was fun. read more

Usually great. Service was typical of college town, very mediocre. Waited quite a while for food. Grilled shrimp poboy was fried, and cheeseburger had no cheese despite server saying they entering it correctly. Bread was stale on poboy, and took almost 20 minutes to add cheese to the burger, which was overcooked. Was hungry so went ahead and ate the poboy . They just dumped the bottom of the bag of chips on the plate. Very disappointing. read more

Tallahatchie Gourmet - Waffles Near Me - Oxford, Mississippi

The service, food, and hospitality at Tallahatchie Gormet have always been excellent. They have the best fried okra in Oxford. Not to mention turnip greens, fried green tomatoes, butter beans, mashed potatoes - the works. Of course, I'm talking about their meat in three, which is the best in town in my opinion. read more

A hidden gem just off the square that serves up some amazing food. I came in for lunch and the service was excellent and the vibe is Southern Casual. It seems that they do a lot of to go and catering and from what everyone there was saying, it's top notch. read more

Service was the best! First day for our server and she was great. I do feel like this is a clean food spot. Food was average, nothing stood out or flavorful. I might try again and get something else. read more

They were pretty busy but the college students running the place did a good job of helping everyone and quickly. The shrimp Po' boy was pretty good but I also got to try the shrimp and grits and they were great. Walking up to the restaurant I thought it was going to be super cool inside but unfortunately the interior was kind of boring. Food - 4 Service - 5 Vibe - 3 read more

Tallahatchie Gourmet - Shrimp Po' boy - Waffles Near Me - Oxford, Mississippi

There were five of us who had brunch at Tallahatchie on a Football weekend in Oxford. The wait was approx. 30-40 minutes but it didn't seem long as the restaurant seats a good amount of people and it was a beautiful Sunday on the square. When we were seated I was amazed to hear a live 2/3 jazz style band quietly playing in the background. Instantly I was in love! The menu isn't big and portion size average but the ambiance was great and we were not rushed! The food was tasty and service very attentive. It's my new go - to when in Oxford, hoping to try lunch and dinner too! read more

First have to say that the service was really good. We came for Sunday brunch and they told us a 30 minute wait that ended up only being 15. Our waiter was very attentive, prompt, and kind. Also loved the live music. We sat at a booth and the pillows needed some washing, there were stains. Ordered the burger and fries and the shrimp and grits. We waited awhile for the food, probably around 20 minutes. Burger was bland and unseasoned. There was a lot of shrimp which I appreciated but it was just covered in cheese on top of the cheesy grits which also could've done with more seasoning. The food was meh and needed more flavor. The bathroom also could've done with a cleaning, the walls were pretty dirty. read more

Great Sunday Brunch! Love the live music. Go up the back stairs for shopping when you finish.

Great food! Great atmosphere! This cute little bartender named Cole Marsh served me the best Bloody Mary I have ever had. Only problem was a waiter named Alex Childers was very rude and told me my tennis knowledge wasn't to his standards. Overall great place! read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a while now... I ordered 3 takeout lunch plates with sides... the food was good, but the portions were very small. Making the price not worth it. If you order a lunch tray with 1 meat and 3 sides (paying extra for the 3rd side) and are still hungry after finishing your food... it's a waste of time and money. Great taste horrible value. read more

Bloody Mary...Fabulous Music.... Wonderful Food....Awesomesauce Service.....Impeccable Dog with the band..... Priceless read more

Tallahatchie Gourmet - Fried hamburger steak, creamed corn, Lima beans and mashed potatoes. - Waffles Near Me - Oxford, Mississippi

I like this restaurant. Located below Nielsen's on the Square you must visit this place. My only time to eat here was on a Sunday for lunch and I wanted to try their fried chicken but it wasn't offered on their special Sunday brunch menu. Not wanting brunch, I opted for the hamburger steak with purple hull peas, green beans and mashed potatoes for about $12. My meal came out in about 10 minutes with some cornbread. The hamburger steak was a round patty with gravy and onions. While not large in size it tasted good. While I thought the peas needed more flavor the green beans had plenty and the mashed potatoes were on par with the green beans. I enjoyed this meal and rated it at a 4. This meat and three meal was on par with Ajax and that's saying a lot. Also on Sundays a one man jazz band plays and he was excellent. It's a good reason to visit on Sundays but then any day this place is open is a good day to stop by. I will return when I'm back in Oxford. read more

I used to love this place and always ate there when I was in Oxford. However, on my recent trip I was greatly disappointed. "Hamburger steak" was a commercially preformed patty that I wasn't real sure was beef. The serving of mashed potatoes was so small that it could not have been more than 1/4 cup. The dinner roll was a tiny square that was about the size of the butter pat. What happened? I was really sad. read more

Tallahatchie Gourmet - Banks Moore our server, 9/10 - Waffles Near Me - Oxford, Mississippi

The food and service is reliably good. We have eaten there with out of town friends the past several weeks. The special on Fridays is a filet, which has been delicious and cooked to our requests (medium rare for me and medium for my husband). It came with fresh steamed vegetables, a choice of potatoes and bread. Our friend had the Mississippi fried catfish, which was heavily breaded. Another friend had the fried chicken tenders, and she enjoyed them. One thing to be aware of is the temperature in the restaurant- it is always very cold. Bring a coat! read more

My mom and I came here for lunch. Casual but cute atmosphere. I ordered the salmon and she ordered the oriental salad. We split a side of turnip greens. The food was good. The greens were the best part of the meal. Our server was polite and we did not have to wait too long for anything. Very reasonably priced. Deducted a star because the menu said my salmon was supposed to come with cheese grits which I did not receive. I'm sure we will return here to try their weekend brunch, which I've heard great things about, and I will update my review then. read more

Food was good. I had my first purple hulled peas. Gannon did a great job with service. It was nice to sit outside. It was a little chilly inside but glad you were open a Monday. read more

Awesome food, great vibes! Loved this place, will definitely come back next time I'm in Oxford! Po boy was incredible and the sides were the best kind of southern home cooking.

Walked in chose our table. Little did we know that choice would determine our entire experience.. our waiter Banks had us waiting 15 minutes for drinks, 10 minutes to get the menu to even look at what we wanted, and then completely walked out of the restaurant after taking back one of our burgers that didn't have cheese. We were left waiting another 10 minutes and I had to get up multiple times to ask for our waiter. Four other staff minded their own, never stepping in to help when seeing our table had been waiting so long.. food was just ok, the sweet potato fries were good. My grandmother's chicken salad sandwich was too salty for her. Honestly felt like a bunch of college kids just chatting with each other in the back, and I had to ask for every little thing. I'm embarrassed to have brought my family here for a good lunch only to be met with dismissive and neglectful staff. I don't think I'll be back... read more

Nice, warm, comfy spot just by Oxford Town Square. This place is perfect for a casual brunch or lunch for big or small groups with helpful and accommodating staff. Our server, Alex, was beyond helpful and hospitable. Highly recommend the CHICKEN SPAGHETTI when they have it!Chicken Spaghetti read more

Tallahatchie Gourmet - a table full of food - Waffles Near Me - Oxford, Mississippi

The food and service are great. We will be back. They also have casseroles to go. Brunch on Sunday !

It's a shame how a person's actions can ruin the image of a business or a place. We've been in Oxford, Mississippi for the UK vs. Ole Miss football game this weekend and I had been so impressed with the town and the southern hospitality. But today all of those happy feelings went away with what we experienced at lunch. After a relaxing morning at the AirB&B, we decided to go back to The Square to do some shopping and eat lunch before heading back home. After asking several people for recommendations and checking Yelp reviews, we decided to eat at Tallahatchie Gourmet. We had to wait for about 30 minutes for them to open so just went in a few shops to kill time. When we got there, the hostess told us it would be about a 20 minute wait. No problem, we were looking forward to the Shrimp and Grits, Southern Fried Catfish, and beignets. After about 45 minutes and still not being seated, David checked with the hostess and she said that we were next once a "2 seater" opened. We thought that was strange since we'd seen them seat other couples at tables that had more than 2 chairs. I even laughed and said, "It's probably because we are dressed in UK shirts". We finally were seated and waited and waited for a server, actually looking around to see who was covering our section. The server finally came and was a young college aged guy. He brought our drinks and said he would be right back to take our order. He never came back. After 10-15 minutes of watching him tend to other tables, David flagged him down. When he approached our table, he said "Are you feeling the Wildcat neglect?" David said, "What did you say?" and he repeated it. At that point, I said, "Wow, really". David looked at me and said, "Are you ready to go?" to which I answered "Yes!" As we were leaving, I stopped at the bar and asked to speak to the manager. The young male bartender told me that she was too busy in the kitchen and that I could not speak with her. At this point, we were both so angry and disappointed that we just left. I mean, they won the game. Why act like jerks to the opposing team fans the next day? I was so upset that I was close to tears. I had actually started a FB post with pictures and some video of the awesome live music that was entertaining the diners, but was waiting until after we ate to post it. I think that if we had gone in there in regular clothes, this post would have been very different, it seemed like a really cool place, but their disrespectful actions, will prevent us from ever returning. Go Cats! But don't go there. #soimmature #classless read more

Let me just tell you, I've only ever ordered one thing from there and one thing only. The Honey Buffalo Chicken Sandwich is it. That is the only thing I would recommend getting from there. DO NOT ORDER A FROZEN CASSEROLE FROM THERE. Only get the chicken sandwich, trust me. read more

Great sandwiches and friendly service. A bit pricey for a sandwich place but still really good.

nice people but nothing super special. food was fine. don't really have a problem with it but prob won't go back

The shrimp and grits with cheese and bacon were delicious. The fried chicken tenders (3 large, real chicken) and crinkle cut fries were really good. They have wine. I'll definitely be going back. Service was great. read more

Had the honey buffalo chicken sandwich. Let me just tell you something. The honey and buffalo combination slapped me like the clap back from the other night. Could have used more buffalo in the mixture but was still up to par. The fries were greatly seasoned just like how mama used to make them. read more

Went here on a Saturday night for dinner. The owner was present and she was absolutely lovely. Which always adds to the flavor of a restaurant. The food was fabulous. And I'm picky. I actually shared a burger and an order of shrimp and grits with a friend. The shrimp and grits dish was amazing. Again, I'm choosy and think City Grocery has below average shrimp and grits. So, if you like City Groceries... you will like this even better. The burger was very juicy and flavorful. The fries were average fries... not hand cut, probably out of a bag. A friend had the catfish and said it was wonderful. Even better the price was very affordable. Now for the below average part... I don't like the atmosphere. And with so many great restaurants in Oxford, atmosphere matters. It's like being in a cafeteria. If this restaurant had the atmosphere of Boure or a Bar Taco--- they would be jam packed with a wait out the door. Sadly, atmosphere weighs in at 60% of the dinner experience for me 40% food. My husband would have a different set of priorities, but I get to choose the restaurant! read more

I honestly didn't feel comfortable at this spot. My guest and I were the only minorities dining. And it felt like we invaded 'their' spot and didn't belong. The food wasn't good and I wouldn't return. Actually left with finishing meal. read more

I love the food, but if it's busy expect to be treated like a complete nuisance. I have been ignored, walked past, snapped at, certainly no one is smiling or offering to be of service. It really is ridiculous. There's zero excuse for treating customers who aren't even complaining as though they're in the way and annoying! Before I place an order, I have to weigh whether or not I'm willing to put up with this treatment when I go to pick it up. It's never on time, they never apologize, and they're never kind. read more

Sunday Brunch! So good! Their service is great- the servers are prompt and extremely friendly! It is a cute place sort of tucked away! Don't miss going there! Oh I do like the frozen casseroles to take home for a delicious quick dinner. read more

Sunday is busy. We sat on the front porch and enjoyed the warm Spring weather while we ate brunch.

Love love love!!! Sweet owner, attentive and respectful staff, food is amazing, and the environment is cute and welcoming!

Delicious and nice variety. Live their frozen casseroles to have on hand. Great food

Food is good. Not too fancy . Simply just good food in oxford! It can get busy. Great to order for Thanksgiving and events too.
