The best restaurant Tupelo ever had was Kermit's Outlaw Kitchen. Unfortunately it closed in 22 or 23.
OT: Good lunch spots in Tupelo, New Albany,

They did your hometown well after Katrina.
Someone has to know the name of that place. It's downtown, downstairs, it reminds one of the beginning of every human trafficking film.
So someone sent me a DM and said if Holly Springs was an option still, to try Southern Eatery on the Square.
Never been to Holly Springs in my life but the non-self serve all you could eat buffet was good.
The lady behind the counter dishing out the food was nice and accommodating.
Fried chicken, baked chicken, green beans, butterbeans, yams, mashed red potatoes - (no gravy so that was disappointing) and brussel sprouts ( can’t stand them so did not get) was excellent!
Went back for seconds - (could have gone back for 3rds just for the green beans).
Got the peach cobbler - which I never get dessert - and it was good, too much cinnamon for me, never knew peach cobbler even needed cinnamon but oh well.
Was very good for $16.70 which included a drink, plus tax, plus tip so over $20.00 and change.
Thanks for all of the other recommendations.
Will have to try some of those next time.
Glad to hear Woodys and Danvers is still a thing.

Vernon Bell was a cofounder of Danver’s. He was of Knickerbocker fame in Memphis and the family still owns Mortimer’s today. His son, Chris Bell, was a member of Big Star in what should have been the biggest band out of 1970s Memphis. A great and tragic story. How the Tupelo franchise has survived is beyond me, but it’s a local legend. The Oxford location made it until the early 2000s.
Jimmy Seaside Burger and Wings-it is on the south part of town but worth it. One of the best spots in town. Hidden gem most people in Tupelo know it is there.
Aunt B’s Soul Food- solid country cooking
Loco Taco- the Pork Belly tacos are fire, also don’t be afraid to try the Tacos de lengua (cow tongue)(weird but very authentic good)
Amsterdam Deli- I love the Lamb Burger
Levant- had it today. Also good. The garlic spread is better than drugs. Had the lamb wrap.
O’Lucky B- everyone I work with loves it, but it always take me forever to get my food
Porter’s on Main- it is new, I have been there twice and it has been great so far.
Manhattan Deli-amazing, but no seating.
I just listen a few, but everyone else has mentioned great spots. Those who hate on Tupelo, have not been here in years. It has gotten so much better with more coming.
