Closed permanently and a for sale sign as of late July 2020. Must have not survived COVID pandemic. Interesting stories about Mississippians eating here for years. What a shame.

The Elite may have been the “elite” restaurant in years past but that ship has sailed. Still worth a visit. Mostly booths, waitresses in white, water brought to your table in small glasses, and other amenities nostalgic. Wide variety of entrees from fish, shrimp, steaks, veal cutlets served quickly and tasty. Small dinner salad with house homemade comeback dressing is a treat. Prices are moderate. Two problems for a southerner are NO sweet tea and bread pudding served cold.

Didn't start off well but ended satisfied. They didn't have any pie (their only dessert apart from ice cream...which is for the pie) at 7:30 on a Friday night of all times. They don't make sweet tea (at a restaurant in the south that makes fried fish, fried pickles, onion rings etc) AND they were out of meatballs for their spaghetti. Ugh. Luckily their fried catfish turned out to be quite good, as were their rolls and onion rings. German pot roast however, that could use an overhaul...taste like liver sauced with tomato sauce and vinegar, surely even Germans know there are better ways to prepare and season meat.

Had a really nice meal. Enjoyed the famous rolls and fresh seafood.

Gluten free fried oysters, fries and salad - portions were just the right size. Great place to eat lunch and relax.

I am walking across the country to raise awareness to Veteran issues. Wonderful food, amazing staff. Thank you to the couple that paid for our meal.

Enjoyed lunch with family today. I have been dining here since I was a small child, this was my husband (from Tennessee) & our son's first time to try it. We all ordered iced tea, it was fresh, brewed perfectly & our server was refilling our glasses in a timely manner. My husband ordered fried shrimp, my son got the cheeseburger, I ordered the chicken fried veal steak. All of us received the most perfectly fried french fries with our entrees. We also ordered an order of fried dill pickles. Hot & crispy. The best yeast rolls were served hot with butter. Their comeback dressing was delicious. The only complaint was from my husband. He wanted a bigger salad. No room for dessert w, we were stuffed. Thank you for giving us hot delicious Mississippi food & gracious service. Good to be back home.

I've been going to the Elite since I was 10 years old (42 years). Our family would go for dinner on Friday nights growing up. Today I always get the same thing. Veal cutlet with white gravy. But I have had the enchiladas and they are awesome. They have the rolls market covered in downtown.
Best place for veal, homemade fluffy rolls, juicy steaks, & spaghetti!

Wonderful service, excellent food and great conversations about all the wonderful meals we have had there.

A small, quirky restaurant with an old school atmosphere. The warm rolls were served with real butter, the flaky fish was cooked perfect and the salad a perfect size. The dessert wasn't worth it and the hostess was kind enough to take it off the ticket.
Andrew Tyre
The rolls are great. Highly recommend the enchiladas!

The food was awesome, the atmosphere matched. Get the smothered calf liver, it was amazing. The owner made you feel at home.
