Love the catfish and all the sides. Fried okra and the Turnip greens are our favorite. Walked right in and we're seated. Come early or you will be waiting a while for a table. Open Thurs-Sun.

This is our second year to use Taylor Grocery for Ole Miss tent tailgating and once again it was a great experience. The online ordering and the convenient pickup location make tailgate planning so easy! Food use ready at our noted time and was super delicious!

The owner is absolutely the rudest woman, should not be running a business. I took my elderly mother to dinner. We were there at opening and seated in first wave of people. The restaurant was full. The owner kept walking by our table giving us dirty looks after 45 minutes of waiting for our food. I’m not sure but I think she thought we had eaten and were holding up the table. I saw her speak to our waitress and then starts walking back to the front. She suddenly stops, looks at my mother, and loudly and rudely says to her, why are you shaking your head? I was like excuse me. She said someone has to be last! I was so embarrassed as surrounding tables I’m sure thought we had been complaining. I responded we weren’t complaining or doing anything, I think the appropriate thing for her to say is, I’m sorry for your wait. Been coming here for years, she’s always been rude whenever she was there, but not to this extent. Won’t ever go back. The food is not good enough to have to tolerate this treatment, and based on other reviews it”s a recurring problem.

Terrible customer service! The owner was extremely rude and unwilling to make reasonable accommodations. It is a true miracle that this place stays in business with Nurse Ratched running the joint!

⚠️ BEWARE the Owner at Taylor Grocery ⚠️
I have never had a more rude restaurant experience. The owner—let’s call her “Karen”— had a highly neurotic outburst simply because we pulled up an extra chair for a guest who was running late. She screamed “get out… get out!” and “rules are rules!” in front of the entire dining room, creating an embarrassing and uncomfortable scene. It was so extreme that even the waitresses quietly apologized to us for her behavior.
Save yourself the trouble—there are plenty of restaurants where the food is good and you won’t be screamed at by a Karen in charge.

Imagine paying good money to be screamed at — that’s the business model here. Forget hospitality; this place runs on hostility. The owner doesn’t greet you, they berate you. Ask a simple question about the menu? Boom — you’re public enemy #1.
It honestly felt like a bad dinner-theater knockoff of Seinfeld’s Soup Nazi episode, except without the comedy or the soup. “No food for you!” might as well be the house motto. The only thing missing was the laugh track.
The food is fine, but isn’t anywhere near good enough to justify being treated like garbage. Restaurants are supposed to be welcoming, not a boot camp run by Gordon Ramsay’s angrier cousin.
If you want a miserable evening, go ahead and book a table. Otherwise, take your money to literally any other place where the staff remembers the golden rule: customers come to eat, not to be yelled at.

Would have given 5 stars . But the bs about waiting for our kids to get there before we could be seated is not good. We wanted to sit and order apitizers.
Overrated. May have been good once upon a time. If you can get a seat or to go order the portion are minimum or they dont give you the portions the menu says but they charge you as if they did. Just can't recommend due to my numerous experiences. Now their catering is alot better.

The food and service are awesome. We drive from Olive Branch several times a month just to eat at Taylor's Grocery
This place doesn’t even deserve to be in business after our experience with the “new owner” last night. Extremely rude to everyone she spoke to. The waiter we had threw our styrofoam plates across the table like frisbees, I wish I was exaggerating. The fish was cold. And then splitting our check seemed to be a huge inconvenience to the lady at checkout that seemed like she didn’t want to be there. I don’t blame her. I didn’t want to be there either. Highly recommend you go find anywhere else to go eat.

A favorite in the Oxford area. Great classic southern food, large portions, and a unique atmosphere! The blackened catfish, fried okra, and potato salad are my favorites to order, but I know their other food is excellent as well. I would describe this place as jolly, friendly, and simply very country. The servers are energetic and welcoming - and are patient with people who aren't familiar with the menu items. I highly recommend visiting Taylor Grocery, just come prepared to wait for a table, preferably with a beverage from home in tow (they have a brown bag policy).
