“Oxford has the vibe of authenticity. Saint Leo exemplifies this. With delightful Italian food, a thoughtful cocktail, wine and beer menu, and lovely atmosphere, coming here early in any visit will immerse you in Oxford’s best.
We happened in on a summer evening without a reservation to have a drink and light dinner at the bar. We were lucky 🍀— Note: Make a reservation online ahead of time. They do not take reservations on the “day of.” We put in our name and ordered drinks outside on the patio. It is set up for drinks. Water is provided. As we watched people the time sped by.
We were led to the bar where several friendly bar servers took thorough care of us. I had Spoken West Chardonnay. Spouse had a Rose. We ordered White Beans appetizer. They came in a pottery bowl and were so delicious we continued eating them with house salads and through the order of a Margherita Pizza.
We did not order dessert or after dinner drinks but we were sorely tempted. Anytime we return to Oxford, we will head here to get relaxed in the comforts and spoils of Oxford. Thank you Saint Leo.”

“The RA’s here are very friendly. Maintenance is exceptional and come as soon as possible. I would recommend the quarters for anyone who likes to have their own space and have fun!”
“Our meals were stellar. Everything was prepared to perfection. We'll be going back. Such a great addition to our local restaurants!”

“The Velvet Ditch excels in creating a delightful dining experience with its inviting atmosphere and appealing decor. The menu features a broad range of options, showcasing both classic and innovative dishes made from fresh ingredients. Each dish(catfish plate, chicken Alfredo, wing plate, boudin eggs rolls & that velvet punch) we chose was carefully prepared and beautifully presented, highlighting the attention to detail. The service was consistently friendly and attentive, contributing to a welcoming environment. Overall, The Velvet Ditch provides excellent value for money, making it a highly recommended spot for those looking to enjoy a memorable meal.”
“I had to come leave a review because this lineup from Crumbl Cookies was too good not to talk about. Every cookie was fresh, soft, and full of flavor—like they really don’t miss.
The Biscoff cheesecake cookie? Yeah… that one didn’t stand a chance. Super creamy, rich, and perfectly balanced without being too sweet. Definitely a standout.
The presentation was clean, the service was quick, and everything tasted like it was made with care. You can tell why people stay checking the weekly lineup.”
“The one and only for me. If I had kids that’s where I would have their birthday every time. Though since I don’t that’s where I will have mine though everytime I’m there it’s as if it’s my birthday 🤷♀️ what more could I say it’s so cool and OCD cleanliness you could have it right off the floor”

“If y’all are going to have fried catfish, y’all need to have hush puppies. Not that sweet thick cornbread… it was terrible. Sorry to complain, but know I’m not the only one. Everyone loves hush puppies with fried catfish. Do yall even listen to what your customers are requesting?”
“We were visiting Oxford for the day and decided to try it. We live in Olive Branch and they are getting ready to build one here so why not? The food was fine, but honestly I don't think it's any better then all the other places that sell chicken tenders. However, the service we got was fantastic! Angel waited on us and she was so friendly and pleasant! She deserves an A+! The food was hot and came pretty quickly. And Angel also walked over at the end of our meal and gave us 2 free donuts. So nice! The restaurant was clean and parking was easy.”
“We LOVE Jenna Huggins and the cuisine and friendly staff!! ❤️❤️❤️”

“I took some friends to El Charles Sunday May 5th. To me the food was "off" but since we were enjoying each others company I chose not to say anything. Our waiter, Gavin, seemed overwhelmed. However, he never blinked an eye at our requests. Im willing to eat there again in the future”
“Oxford may be a small town, but it's certainly noticed the change in atmosphere at the Firehouse. The new manager has brought about a revolution in customer service, transforming it from a place where you'd struggle to find a friendly face to one where staff know you by name and what you order. The attention to detail and genuine care shown by the manager is evident in the way the facility is run and how staff interact with customers. It's a welcome change that hasn't gone unnoticed.”
“We enjoyed a couple beers while we played board games with our kids. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and the kids liked their burgers.”
“Pretty expensive for milk and cookies. But some of the best cookies I’ve ever had!”
“Perfect spot with an amazing atmosphere for adults to celebrate special occasions. Dates, anniversaries, families visiting college students, etc. looking for an upscaled dining experience. Amazing food by an amazing, award winning chef and staff, all of which have gigantic hearts, and they pour ever my ounce into what they do. You won’t find better food or service within a reasonable drive. It’s the ideal spot to go if you want to hire a baby sitter and enjoy a special night out with your spouse and or loved ones. That being said, it’s unfortunate that we live in a world full of selfish, entitled, inconsiderate pricks who don’t care about anyone else but themselves. It’s a small dining room with tight table spacing. It only takes one feral, screaming toddler throwing food everywhere while their inconsiderate, selfish, entitled prick for a parent completely ignoring their behavior to ruin that for the 50 some odd other people who have looked forward to a special night out. I’ll die on this hill. Sola just said what everyone else was thinking. Leave your screaming, food throwing toddlers with a sitter, or go to chilis.”

“My daughter & I visited your Krystal drive-thur on Monday, 11-14-22 around 4pm in Oxford, MS. I met a young male named Dustin, I must honestly say, this was the BEST EXPERIENCE ever, served with a smile and respect, in a drive-thur dining. Please take the time out to thank him for his outstanding performance. He made our visit a rememberable experience. Thank you ?”
“Back Nine has great food and an awesome atmosphere. Simulators are a great time with multiple sports options. Looking forward to stopping by again when I come in town this fall to catch a football game.”
“A liiittle pricey but the crab wontons and hibachi both have the perfect flavor. Ichiban and Mt. Fuji have just been tasting off lately so this might be my new hibachi and wonton go to spot. Oh and the yum yum sauce is probably the best ive ever had. Its usually not so creamy, but its good!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Food ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Flavor ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Spice ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Beverages ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Knowledge of menu⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We enjoyed a late lunch here today. Our party enjoyed, a Shrimp Chimichanga (HUGE)topped with queso, sides; rice & refried beans, lettuce, pico de gallo, guacamole, and sour cream. Another person fell in love with their Pollo Verde (shredded chicken with the BEST green sauce) Enchiladas, served with rice. My plate was amazing Street Tacos (3)fish corn tortillas cooked to perfection, grilled steak, topped with fresh chopped onions, and cilantro. The salsa served with these has an amazing blend of spice and flavor (if you do not like spice (warm heat) taste before adding to your tacos), this plate also had blanco queso (white melted cheese) for dipping. It's best to miss lunch and go for the dinner. The plates are perfect sized and delicious. Our new favorite find yet. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“I have eaten at Southern Coop for years. Saturday night, after the biggest football game of the season, a friend and I were so hungry that I introduced her to Southern Coop. This was my first time at the new location. All I can say is it’s awesome from the front door to leaving. The girls at the register are very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The management/owners are visible and attentive, making sure the place runs smoothly. Go see them!”
“What a surprise to find a quality pizza in Oxford! Pizzashop has a great pie with a crisp yet tender crust, high quality toppings, and great people.
We ordered a side Caesar salad and a 12” Bill the Butcher to share and it was ample food for my hungry athlete daughter and myself.”
“Picked up a to-go order Greek Salad from the Newks at the Oxford Galleria. Atmosphere was clean and inviting. Staff were friendly. Packaging of Salad was great - especially since it won't be eaten for a few more hours. Only complaint - there were no to-go silverware to be found on their condiments table....”
“Volta is a place one can relax with family - friends either inside or outside on their cozy covered patio with umbrellas for rain or hot and heaters for cold days and nights. All ages enjoy: my 6 year old granddaughter Rudy says : this is one of my favorites in Oxford!”
“What's the point of the sushi line wearing masks if they're all wearing them below their noses? What's the point of only having one bartender if they're too busy to take care of their guests?”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“The Luv Shack is the best kept secret restaurant in a town full of award-winning, trend-setting restaurants. Located behind a strip mall in a tiny shack, the food is always exceptional no matter what it is, and it's different from day-to-day. Highlights are Italian beef, chicken parm, and pepperoni topped tortellini on Tuesdays, but everything is hand made from scratch & always fantastic. Be prepared to stand in line Sunday morning for the best bagels south of Jersey. Could not recommend more highly.”

“Col Reb is outstanding. Every product is high quality and the customer service is top notch. Ignore the 1 star politically motivated review. This place is awesome.”
“Food was delicious. Young ladies working the counter taking orders were friendly and helpful with the questions we had. Highly recommend Moe’s. We will be back.”
“Blake and his staff helped us with a birthday event and it was absolute perfection! Communication to set everything up in advance was easy, Blake gave us several options and was very accommodating, the staff and security were top notch. I wouldn’t change a thing. I highly recommend Old Henry for your next event. They just upgraded with a lights and DJ system and the atmosphere is super fun!!”

“This is the very first time I ever eat here. I have been Ubering around Oxford. For about four months now I haven’t stopped and ate anywhere because I’ve been working, but I stopped today. The food was absolutely awesome. The atmosphere was even better than that. The lady that owns the place was a very, very nice person. I called her over and we talked for a minute Just like I was a customer that come in every day beautiful place. Be sure to come here when you come to Oxford.”
“Soon as you walk in the door you are greeted with a warm hey how can we help y'all today, heavy smell of deliciousness and strong urge to eat everything on the menu!! This was our 1 time here and the ribs were very tender and juicy...the brisket was the best Id ever had in my life!! Can't wait to go back”
“I was in town on Saturday night visiting from the Gulf Coast just to see Ole Miss and Oxford. Although I am a senior citizen (67), I had a great time meeting people in town and at the tailgating on campus. But I have to say that everyone at Quacks, including the staff, bartenders, and young people there was a highlight of my experience. I highly recommend this place for their great hospitality and atmosphere!!!”
“My friend and I come eat here once a week to unwind and enjoy the best food and drinks. Unfortunately, the quality of service depends on which waiter is working. Stephanie is amazing and we love her being our waitress! She is always very friendly, energetic and very attentive to all of her tables and makes us feel welcome every time. She frequently checks on us to make sure our food is good and our drinks are full. Lucas, Arleth, Fabio and Diego are also very friendly and attentive any time we interact with them. All of the customer service on Thursdays seems to end once Aldo takes over when Stephanie leaves. We are often the only diners in the restaurant but he rarely comes by to check on us and we find ourselves having to look for him for drink refills. We usually find him sitting down at a table eating with another employee. This has also happened when I've come with a large group. We keep coming back every week because the food is amazing, the drinks are good and Stephanie always makes us laugh!”
“We love this place so much because of so many healthy options and even dessert! We come for lunch every time we visit Oxford. However, today we visited and noticed the prices listed on the sign did not add up to our bill. When we asked, we were told the prices are actually significantly higher than listed. Even the “add cheese or fruit for 1.00” is now $1.50. The cashier didn’t seem too concerned and even uncaring about it when we were trying to figure out the math. Please either change the prices on your sign or make sure your cashiers give customers a heads up on the increase in prices BEFORE they order! We still love this place and will be back, but were a bit disappointed at the service today.”
“The filet is the best in town! Laid back and quiet atmosphere topped it off. Definitely a new found local favorite!”
“Me and my friends, we were a group of 5, we walked in on a Sunday at 6:30 and they weren’t super busy. We walked right in and were seated just about immediately. They bring out water and you can get another drink if you’d like. They serve complimentary rolls, and they are really good! They have honey butter, and strawberry butter along with them and they were really good as well. It is a tad pricey here but it’s nothing extraordinary. The Gouda mac and cheese and cheese sticks, and boom boom shrimp was good as well. There was about 15 and it was a great size! We had a pleasant experience here!”
“Great service and food. Crawfish rolls and catfish were delicious. Live music.”
“I wish I could stay longer but is snow around and is my 1st time in MS so I have to be good, the service by the bartender was great, unfortunately wasn't food available there or in any other place around for the weather, however, the service and atmosphere make me feel for a drink instead of food. I want to come back to MS for the library 🤓 🐼”

“We live near this restaurant and we love their steaks. Ribeye is my favorite steak. This restaurant opened under new owners and the new owners have put their heart & soul into this Steak House. The whole place has been remodeled. They have added a screened porch for special events. You can find a parking space if you come early. Great owners, great employees and everyone is doing their best. Love the Large Ribeyez!”

“I have eaten here several times. It is always good. The staff is always so so friendly and accommodate most any reasonable request. Tonight I tried the chicken philly fries. It was so delicious! The last bite was as good as the first, and it even traveled all the way to my house and was still delicious. I will certainly get this again. Everyone else got burgers and raved about them as always. Especially the mushroom swiss with grilled onions.”

“Always great food that hits the spot! No matter if it's the Birria pizza, tacos, the torta with their freshly made bread or one of those mind blowing specialty desserts they have. The road construction having you make all those detours is the onnly bad thing about it right now!”
“A liiittle pricey but the crab wontons and hibachi both have the perfect flavor. Ichiban and Mt. Fuji have just been tasting off lately so this might be my new hibachi and wonton go to spot. Oh and the yum yum sauce is probably the best ive ever had. Its usually not so creamy, but its good!”
“This is an incredible speakeasy with truly inventive cocktails. Some other places have opened recently in Oxford that have tried to claim they are speakeasys, but Nightbird is the real deal. They know the classics, and they are inventive with their own drinks too. We really like their menu as well. There is not much on it, but what's there is great.”
