A must stop when in Clarksdale. Consistently good. Don't judge a book by its cover. This place is an institution!

Got to love you some Ramon's! Fried shrimp with the tarter is always good and the spaghetti with meatballs, shrimp cocktail. Many good options the in house salad dressings are good too. I live pretty close now and it might be dangerous lol!

We set out to road trip about 90 minutes down into the Delta to try an old established restaurant but a new place to us. Driving up we were a little intrigued as it is an older building located in a residential neighborhood and looks quite out of place. Going through the front door you immediately realize it has the potential to be a very interesting dining experience. There is a short bar right in front with stools and tables and booths to your right. The floor looks like the original green and white tile, bluish walls, ceiling tiles with lots of water stains from a leaking roof, seating booths along the wall with a slight slope to them due to the floor sagging, and a few tables with chairs. We were seated in one of the booths that sloped towards the outside wall. Our server was right there to take our drink orders, returned timely with them and took our appetizer orders. We got the onion rings as our server highly recommended them. I think onion rings are a pretty good way to gauge most restaurants and either raise or lower my expectations for the rest of the meal. Ramon's onion rings were very good. Held the batter well and were cooked perfectly. Next we all had the fried shrimp as that is what had been raves about from several folks we know. Absolutely some of the best fried shrimp in north Mississippi or for that fact maybe the whole state. Loved the ambiance, the service, and the food. Can hardly wait for our next Delta road trip to Ramon's.

Crazy as it sounds for folks looking for a traditional southern fix, the pasta here is excellent and worth it. Great little place where locals gather. Nice catfish, friend shrimp. We visited after a busy weekend and they were low of a few favorite and beer choices. We had a good time and felt truly welcomed.

Outstanding! Good food! Good service! The shrimp, spaghetti, ravioli, and onion rings were spectacular. We brought our own wine and had beer too.

Waterlogged noodles is really all you need to know. Bland sauce. Slow service. Limited selection of alcohol. Sticky interior. The most enjoyable part of the visit was seeing a racoon on top of building eyeing the dumpster (which isn't that fair as this is Mississippi, of which I am a native). This is the worst positive consensus rating I've ever seen on yelp. I understand locals love their old standbys but pls, travelers, don't visit this establishment, unless you live for onion rings. They were ok.
