We got to Clarksdale on Monday night and it was deserted. Not much was open but we found Yazoo Pass and had a really tasty dinner. We had mushrooms with a lemon sauce and pasta with shrimp. Everything was delicious. Service was great. We ate there for breakfast and enjoyed that as well. If you're in Clarksdale this a great place to eat read more

A real restaurant priding itself on quality, selection, setting. Great service since they seemed to be the only place open & were slammed with hungry customers. Staff were pleasant & chatted with us. Food was outstanding. Catfish plate with several sides. Grits with fresh gulf shrimp & sausage gravy was to die for. read more

This may be one of those ymmv type of place. The decor is upscale, would be at home in a mall. So not like a lot of places in Clarksdale. We ordered an omelet and French toast. The omelet was excellent served with salty grits and home fries. The home fries were more like French fries. The French toast was not good and served at a cool temperature. Definitely skip that! And they were out of fruit salad. :( Coffee was good. Very friendly staff. Seemed to be a locals gathering spot. read more

This was an alternative to where we wanted to eat because it was closed for filming. I had a BLT which originally came with avocado ranch on it. I asked to change to mayo which I know they have because I saw the packets but instead I received a BLT with ranch on it. I don't care for ranch and certainly not on a BLT. I did my best to scrape it off but disappointed: My husband got the salad bar which was well stocked. If you want meat on the salad they charge more and give you a decent size container of whatever you choose. Dad had the chicken tenders basket and which was three good size tenders on a bed of fries. The chicken salad was bland. Basically, chicken and mayo, meh. The bread was the same on both sandwiches. The bread was the best part of the sandwich, take that as you may. Sandwiches were large. It's definitely a cute place. Clean and new looking read more

The food was so amazing I ordered more to go. The vibe is relaxed but stylish, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Great for breakfast, lunch, or even a casual dinner. Bonus points for having vegetarian and gluten-free options! Definitely a must-visit if you're in Clarksdale. I'll be back! read more

Excellent dinner for my birthday in town alone for work. Food was excellent. service was attentive.

Love their speciality coffees and scones. Love their sitting areas. I haven't eaten a meal there since I moved from the area.

One of the best dinners I've had anywhere. I was with a large group, and everyone enjoyed their meal. The service was excellent and the prices very reasonable for the level of dining. My shrimp were fresh and grilled to perfection. I was only visiting Clarksdale, but I would go back often if I could. This place is a real gem! read more

Visiting for the weekend as a vegetarian and got the best veggie burger of my life here! Service was fantastic - ambiance is a win. If you're in town, please stop by and grab food from here - so good! I couldn't even take a picture of my food like I planned because it was gone in 0.5 seconds lol. read more

Yazoo Pass - Chicken Piccata was wonderful! - Bakeries Near Me - Clarksdale, Mississippi

We ate breakfast here one day and the oatmeal was fantastic. I got a huge bowl with lots of blueberries. Definitely enough to keep you going through a long day of blues. Unfortunately they aren't open on a Sunday. If they were, we would have come for dinner as well. read more

My drinks are always wrong and the food is half and half for the price. Every time I give this place another chance it disappoints me and I leave dissatisfied. read more

I visited this eatery, I ordered an iced caramel macchiato and cookies my total $13. I thought oh that was expensive but to my surprise the cashier had added another customer order to my tab without asking if we were together. Who does that? Needless to say she apologized but I blessed the lady by saying she could have whatever it was. The drink was delicious and refreshing but be sure to check your receipt! read more

We came for espresso the first time, and dinner later in the day. The service was outstanding! The people here were very friendly. The food was great! We had the tuna wonton appetizer, and burgers. Everything was delicious. We plan to come back for breakfast. read more

We took a trip to Mississippi to see what we could see and were delighted to find that there were tons of hidden treasures to find. Yazoo Pass was certainly a delightful gem! We stopped in for breakfast on our way out of town. It was early so it wasn't busy at all BUT the staff was lovely and tended to our every need. I settled on some french toast with a side of sausage and grabbed a couple of day old lemon blueberry cookies as well. When I say that this was the best french toast I've ever had, I'm not exaggerating. It was light, fluffy and butter on the inside but had a nice crisp crust on the outside. They were like light fluffy pancakes and absolutely delicious. The sausage was great as well! I love Yazoo Pass. There were several writers and travelers that trickled in throughout our stay and I noticed that they had several meetups and events scheduled for locals and travelers. It's like Yazoo Pass served as a watering hole. A beacon for the community and I'm in love with it. read more

My husband is from Clarksdale while I am a big city girl (New York and Houston). We were visiting this small town for the holidays and came here for lunch. What an awesome, quaint coffee shop/diner! 100 x better than any big city Starbucks! The people working were all friendly and the menu had a great variety to choose from. I chose the Pasta Fagioli soup and sandwich. My husband chose the chicken tenders and fries. The soup was better that great! It tasted so fresh! Absolutely delicious! I ordered a specialty drink called Delta Pecan Snapping Turtle...OH EM GEE this is one of the best coffee drinks I have ever had (and I consider myself a coffee connoisseur). I will definitely without a doubt be back every time I come to Clarksdale! read more

Excellent food excellent atmosphere impeccable hospitality and service. Lots of very healthy options for a small rural town The salad bar is great and they have a barista serving coffee and tea beverages that rival and even exceed what Starbucks offers. read more

The service was AWFUL. The manager was extremely RUDE and UNPROFESSIONAL. I will NEVER visit again!

Delicious! Definitely one of the best breakfasts we have had while exploring the Mississippi delta. The biscuit was very well made and the chicken was as close to perfect as it comes. The French toast was excellent and not so heavy. Overall, we really enjoyed ourselves and didn't leave with a food coma. It seems well portioned. Very comfortable, modern restaurant and the staff was friendly and attentive. read more

The service is good. The food can be very good but not necessarily compared to price. Ambiance is nice. Salad bar is good. Coffee also, but again a bit pricey. But overall it's a good place. read more

Yahoo for Yazoo Pass! I'm positively addicted to iced espresso in the summer and figured I'd have to give that up for the steamy weekend I was in Clarksdale. Yazoo fed my fiend and fed it well. The regular order is 2 oz, so a large shot, but I got two. Cups are super large and filled with ice & soy milk= instant buzzy bliss. I didn't try any of their food, as it's not particularly vegetarian-friendly, except of course for the delish-looking baked goods and salad bar. The staff is SO nice though, that it would not surprise me if they'd make you something sans meat if you asked. Oh, but there's froyo, and a tart variety at that. Serve yourself (I served myself plenty). The toppings are more on the sweet than healthy side, which I am not really a fan of. If I'm basing this solely on coffee, service and awesome environs (it's in a refurbished Mid Century Woolworth building that's now all sparkling and modern), easy 5 stars. read more

This may be among the "best" in Clarksdale, but anywhere else in America, this is strictly 3 stars. You stand in line to order at the counter. Food gets delivered to your table. Quality is average. Portions are small-average. Prices are high. Turkey sandwich was unremarkable. Quiche Lorraine had too much cheese, and portion was small. Cup of soup as an add-on for $3.50 was way overpriced. Cookies were delicious, $1.75 ea. Note that all "juices" have added sugar, and are thus really juice drinks! Be careful going in during "dinner hour" as according to friends who dined here two nights ago, they had run out of several items on their short menu. read more

This is a GREAT place for breakfast & lunch in Clarksdale. I had the french toast and I swear it's the BEST I've ever had! We've had lunch there as well and everything we've had there is so good. It is clean, modern and very comfy seating. Highlly recommend Yazoo Pass! read more

Do not miss an opportunity to eat here. The decor is warm and inviting. The staff super friendly and the food was so good we decided Yazoo Pass was in top 5 places we have had breakfast. Biscuit were soft and delicious but the home fries were the star! Crispy and seasoned to perfection, could have eaten another helping. Great job! read more

This Bakery / Coffeeshop / Restaurant is very cute and clean. But I can't get past paying $4.50 for a Earl Grey Tea bag. I understand overhead and all, but come on. Get a grip. We not on Rodeo Drive. read more

Fresh, friendly and clean. 3 important things. Nothing cutting edge or amazing but a great escape from Southern cooking or BBQ. Sometimes you just want a good sandwich and they make it so. read more

We were visiting and ended up eating breakfast and lunch here. The breakfast sandwich was very tasty. Had the BLT with fries for lunch. I really loved the thick sliced bread on the BLT and the french fries were crunchy, just the way I like them. We'll done! read more

This is a lovely cafe in downtown Clarksdale. We only had drinks: coffee, smoothie, lemonade. They were all superb. I am sure the next time we are in town we will try the food as it all looked really good coming out of the kitchen! It would be nice to see the area around the cafe cleaned up a bit. We didnt feel unsafe or anything but the town has seen better days. There is lots of potential. read more

Right off the bat, you know this is the "fancy" restaurant in town. It also doubles as an artsy coffeehouse and I know that if I lived in Clarksdale I'd probably spend a lot of time here. My dad and I came here for dinner and we started with the house recommended Meri's Chicken Rolls which consisted of buffalo chicken breasts wrapped in phyllo dough and served with buffalo sauce and ranch dip. My dad went with the 8 ounce filet and he was quite pleased with his choice. I opted for the shrimp and grits, and they were absolutely delicious. Savory grits are my favorite and these did not disappoint, cheesy and mildly spicy. The blackened shrimp added a perfect touch. My only complaint was that the middle of dish was a little cold, as if the grits were not heated through before serving. Overall, this is a wonderful place and I look forward to coming back! read more

Tucked in a storefront along downtown Clarksdale, MS Yazoo Pass is easy to miss but worth searching for. A bright warm welcoming interior staffed with friendly folks. Easy to understand menu offering beef, fish and chicken. I went with the grouper and it was as good as it gets, light and flaky with a side of rice. My dining partner went with the 8oz fillet and they offered nothing but praise. End your meal with some lava cake, it's big enough for two. Search this place out! read more

-- This was my first time in at Yazoo Pass and the only thing that upset me was that I couldn't try everything. The service was superior with the food to match. I definitely recommend this quaint cafe to everyone if you're ever in the area! read more

Great hidden gem of the Delta. Yazoo Pass has superb food, R E A L Coffee and superb ambience. The outdoor cafe is wonderful, inside is better than any Star-buckets on the planet. If you might be disappointed in the laid back, non citified Delta (why did you expect different?) you'll be pleased with the Yazoo Pass. This is exactly what you want in the city when you think of FRIENDS and get something else. Here the people are friendly, the place is gorgeous, the food and drink great. With another 100 million dollars the owners could fix the rest of Clarksdale. Give them your shot at succeeding. read more

We were here 3 days and ate 3 meals here! 2 breakfasts and one lunch. They have a good cup of hot tea which isn't always easy to find in the south and the oatmeal with granola is a great way to start the day and super filling. We had their soup and salad bar which was excellent as well. Nice friendly staff, super clean and nice atmosphere welcoming everyone. Regulars and tourists alike. read more

You know it's a good sign when the locals go there! I was in Clarksdale for work and had breakfast at Yazoo Pass this morning.

They had super friendly service and, importantly, great coffee. Definitely where to go for breakfast in Clarksdale! read more
