From the second you walk up the steps, you know it's going to be good. It's in an old manor house. Xavier was our waiter and he was phenomenal!!! My husband got sweet tea and said it would have made my Georgia dad proud. The chicken fried steak was sublime. The biscuits and cornbread were touched by angels. I don't know how they made their mashed potatoes so creamy but give me all of them. The macaroni and cheese was clearly scratch made. I had one of the specials of the day and it was beef tips and rice. I died and went to southern cooking heaven. The black eyed peas and green beans I got with it were the perfect compliment. Your daily special also comes with peach cobbler. Y'all... This was touched by the baby Jesus himself. Holy moly. It was divine. The cakes and pies looked so good too, but we were too full to eat it. I wish I could give more than 5 stars because we will be back. It's a 5 hour drive from Dallas and worth every single mile.

“Voted #1” or “Best in 3 States” type advertising gets me every time despite almost always being poppycock (except for poppycock caramel corn that really is among the best, way better than Cracker Jack). I am a sucker for “Best of” advertising and my eye always stops when I find a review that makes claims too. My turn now. I’m writing to tell you that I might’ve just had the best fried chicken in North America and it’s in Vicksburg Mississippi at Walnut Hills. They also fed me some pretty good corn salad, apple cobbler, some great mashed potatoes, and green beans. Tennessee and Louisiana makes some pretty big claims with Louisiana coming close; but Gus in Memphis and Prince’s in Nashville are unique but not number one. I almost forgot, Walnut Hills sweet tea is perfect; the best pair with this fried chicken you could think of.

The shrimp was extremely crispy and dark. The French fries were very light and rolled in something and perhaps had been baked. My husband had chicken fried steak. He said the food was fine.

We were visiting Vicksburg and our research pointed us to Walnut Hills for dinner and we were so glad 😁. What a treasure. The ambience was charming, service was great and the fried chicken dinner was absolutely perfect. If you're in the area and trying to find a good spot for a wonderful southern dinner experience, don't hesitate - just go. Also the desserts are delicious!

Walnut Hill is an absolute diamond in terms of the quality of the food and the authenticity that the chef is expressing through his or her culinary art. We ordered two bowls of gumbo and a side salad for each of us. Our wait person, Kenny, was delightful. Let’s talk about the gumbo first. The chicken and sausage gumbo here is absolutely divine. It is authentic as it gets and was accompanied by a healthy serving of rice on the side along with Cornbread muffins. We were also delivered for generous slices of French bread and two rolls that were just fantastic. Our bowls of gumbo were filled lovingly, apparently, with generous hands. There is enough chicken meat, and sausage in it to make even the most hungry person full. The salads were great. Very fresh. The dressings were House made. For dessert we had the tiramisu which was absolutely through the roof delicious. Made with rum and oh so tasty. Will be back to this place one more time. Oh lash thing. It’s in a really nice old home that was established and built in 1880 by a guy name of Rogers. Don’t know much on the history of it, but the house is charming. Enjoy. You’ll really like display.

The southern kitchen at its best: No frills, just plain good food (try the crispy chicken). Plus a very large selection of cakes.

Tucked away in the gentle charm of ol’ town Vicksburg, Miss’ssippi, sits the right fine Walnut Hills eatin’ house. The bill o’ fare offers up three-course suppers that’ll surely tickle your tongue somethin’ fierce. The waitin’ on was quick as a whip, right on time, and polite as you please. I reckon you oughta go there yerself.😊
Glad that we chose this place. The food was delicious and our waiter really hustled.

Thoroughly, thoroughly recommend. Home style southern cooking. Very juicy fried chicken with a crispy and flavourful skin. Fried shrimp dinner was also great. Very friendly service. The dessert section is massive and is made by a neighbour- they are so immaculate we thought they were shop bought! Very friendly service. Would recommend to anyone staying or passing through.
Food is decent. I ate here about 20 years ago and remember the food being better and round table experience. I really miss that. This place is still solid.

JustOK. Chicken had fantastic breadinf, but meat was dry. Fried green tomatoes were almost fully ripe. Sides were seriously lacking. Grits had no flavor, green beans undercooked, Mac and cheese cold.

This was fantastic. The whole vibe was very Little House on the Prairie fine dining. My husband and I were on a road trip across country and wanted something with real southern quality and boy did we get that. The food was phenomenal. My husband will be talking about the fried chicken and mustard greens for months. He said it was like tasting something that he hadn't had since he was a child. The banana pudding at the end just topped it off. The crab & corn bisque was pretty amazing too. The bread on the shrimp po boy was incredibly soft. It was all around a wonderful experience.

Amazing dinner spot in Vicksburg. Don’t miss out on this down home southern food. It was like eating at my grandmas house. Hreat food, friendly faces and delicious dessert!
