    This is my second time getting toe roast beef with gravy! I absolutely love it-- but you want to eat it in one setting. The gravy won't make it that great the next day. It's served with chips! Service remind me off hometown, southern hospitality and it's a restaurant, so not fast but not slow. Great people! Will keep coming back! I love the Ole Miss

    This place has awesome sandwiches and pasta!!! They have one of the best roast beef po boys I've ever had anywhere and I love the stromboli, and the turkey too. The pastas always hit the spot and the spaghetti, the ravioli, and the lasagna just make me happy in my belly! This is also one of the few places outside of New Orleans that I've ever seen that you can get a pretty authentic tasting muffuletta and they ship all their bread in direct from NOLA (and they use good olive salad) so that certainly works in their favor. I'm really sad they moved from their original location and the new location is a real pain to get to as it is waaaay too far from the square now :( I've brought many of my friends from New Orleans and they also agree that these are some amazing po boys!!! I crave this food all the time and wish we had one in New Orleans! Pizza Den video review: https://youtu.be/fOrnspbXpLo

    Pretty good pizza, service was absolutely excellent. Great place to go eat in Oxford and I will be back again.

    Deluxe pizza

    Pizza was delicious. Lots of toppings and the thin crust was very crispy. Would definitely recommend Pizza Den.

    I've heard nothing but great things about the Stromboli and I ordered a pizza to split and it was a solid pizza.

    $5.50 Stromboli

And it was truly a hulking mountain of fries! - Avocado toast - One of the best we've ever tried So we loved the food and the service was exceptional. And it was also very affordable - before tipping, we paid $61 for a three-person meal (3 entrées, only water). This is the best dining experience we've had in Mississippi so far. Highly recommended!

I need to back up and say that our visit was a table for 7 on Spring graduation weekend. Since they do not take reservations, we got in line early for the table and were 3rd in line for the table that would seat our party. The problem came when the first in line decided that they wanted to push their reservation back over an hour, and they let them. Add to that everyone wanted to spend time celebrating so the table turn was not the usual. We were not seated until almost 10:00 PM that night (now you know). The wait staff did an excellent job. Very knowledgeable and helpful. The decor and setting is classy fine dining with dark wood and colorful accent lighting and decorations.

The chicken sandwich...possibly the worst I've ever had. I don't know if I got a bad piece or what, but it was chewy. Almost like it wasn't cooked all the way through. This place would have gotten at least 4 stars if the food was even halfway decent. But it was not. Only reason it was 2 stars instead of 1 was because of the solid service from the bartender and the neat atmosphere.

    I'd give this place a 4.95 rating--here's why…read more The location is excellent, just about a block from the heart of the courthouse square in Oxford. I actually spotted it from the bookstore balcony across the street, which made for a great first impression. The hosts were welcoming and helpful, offering thoughtful recommendations from the menu. Since I was dining solo, I grabbed a seat at the bar, which worked out perfectly. I started with a small Caesar salad. It was definitely on the smaller side, but surprisingly flavorful--especially if you enjoy a strong garlic profile. For my main dish, I built my own pizza: pesto base, mozzarella, Parmesan, pepperoni, red tomatoes, and a hot spicy honey drizzle. The flavor combination was outstanding--really well balanced and memorable. The only drawback was the crust, which was a bit soft and seemed slightly undercooked. The wait time was reasonable, around 15-20 minutes. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this spot, especially if you're with a group. It does get a bit loud, so it may not be ideal for a quiet date night. I visited on a Friday, and they closed at 8 PM due to a live band, which added to the lively atmosphere. This is a place I'd gladly return to the next time I'm in Oxford.

As other reviews mentioned, this place is unique, the owner is very friendly, but the wait is very long. We waited close to two hours despite only a handful of parties in front of us. The owner gave my friend a free bagel for her birthday and chit-chatted with us as he was preparing our orders. Although tasty, the wait was not worth it-- I would recommend going earlier or when you don't have plans later!

    This is a review about an Angel. A real life one in Oxford, Mississippi…read more Tucked behind a small shopping center, you'll find an empty bus and The Luv Shak. You might not see an open sign lit but it's open between 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Before you drive out, if you want to be sure they are open you'll need to look on IG for the post from Dennis, aka the owner, an Angel. As I drove up, I was thinking how in the world can they survive with limited hours and limited days. Then I went in, saw a group of Ole Miss kids waiting for their order, one playing pin ball - for free because the machine doesn't take quarters. For you younger people reading, we used to need quarters if we wanted any type of fun. I order from Dennis as he multi-tasked being the Chef, the host, and the cashier. I notice how inexpensive the food is. It looks expensive! Ambiance is quaint, unique and a staple of the Ole Miss area. Service is great considering Dennis does it all. Do not come here hangry - save your tude for another place. Come with patience and kindness, it's The LUV Shak! If you don't know now you know, Dennis probably doesn't make much selling his food, he's doing it for love. He's admirable. $10 for his dishes and if you get one, he's under selling his food. After speaking to him, he makes food for people in the area and he doesn't raise his prices so they can eat his good food, told ya, he's an Angel. Let's get into it! Baked Cheese Stuff Shells - Whooooooooooooo weeeeee! YOU MUST come and TRY! Home made Italian! I love! Come see a little heaven on earth, come meet Dennis and come fill your belly with love. Thank me later! A must try in Oxford!
