Starting with the appetizers, we sampled the Buffalo Eggplant and Mushrooms and loved the flavor profile of this dish. Especially when you paired it with an ice cold beer. For my entrée, I selected the Blackened Catfish. Wow! So tender and spiced perfectly. And married well with the rice and cream sauce. I highly recommend.

Before we could enter the restaurant, however, we had to wade through all the smokers littering the entrance. Cough! We sat down at a table we chose along the perimeter across from the band. I wish I knew the name of the band, but it was a 3 piece band with a female singer, her son on the guitar, and another guy playing drums. They were good. She sang a song she wrote called the Delta. Great lyrics! My husband and I both ordered the French toast with a hash brown on the side. It took forever and honestly, I was getting a little concerned about all the people who kept coming in and out from outside and into what seemed the kitchen area. Our food arrived and it had great presentation and generous portions. Real French bread used! It was very good! After our meal, the female band leader as well as the owner of the restaurant came over to chat. Very friendly and nice conversation with all. Sadly, when we arrived home from our long drive, let's just say, the food did not sit well in our stomach. It was the only meal we had before arriving home. Another restaurant meal I have to pray was prepared with love.

If you are looking for an incredible dining experience in Clarksdale, Mississippi, look no further than Yazoo Pass. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was absolutely wonderful--warm, cozy, and perfectly stylish.The food was nothing short of spectacular. Every single dish was packed with fresh ingredients and cooked to perfection, easily making it some of the best food we've had in the area.What truly set this visit apart, however, was the hospitality. Our waitress, Amana, provided absolutely phenomenal service. She was attentive, helpful, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed with a genuine smile. To make the evening even better, the local guests dining around us were incredibly welcoming. They struck up conversations and made us feel less like out-of-town visitors and more like part of the family.Yazoo Pass is a true gem in downtown Clarksdale. Between the exceptional food, the lovely vibe, and the unmatched Southern hospitality from both Amana and the locals, we cannot recommend this place enough. We will absolutely be back! read more

We stopped by twice during our stay on Clarksdale. The coffee (almond lattes) were great on both occasions. For lunch I wanted a sandwich and my partner ordered quiche. For the price the portions were quite small and nothing to write home about (too much cheese and not much else). Ambience and service are good. read more

Loved it! Cold brew was delicious with cold foam. Hubby's vanilla latte was perfectly steamed. The cookies were still warm. Cute atmosphere, wish we would have gotten breakfast but we were just driving through. Perfect introduction to Mississippi (btw lived in Seattle for 10 years for coffee credibility) read more
