The Crown Restaurant

This restaurant made me happy. Between the super attentive and warm service, excellent warm bread, tasty catfish over rice, and the dessert buffet, and the colorful artwork on the walls - just made me happy. Oh, yeah, forgot the side salad! It was exquisitely appointed, with pieces of fruit and sweet dressing and crouton bits over greens. They also have a neat gift shop.

Umm, so I’ve eaten here a couple of times in the past and recall leaving full and satisfied. However, things seemed to have changed on my most recent visit. We all ordered the Catfish Allison. It tasted fine, but I left hungry. The accompanying side salad was really good. I just wish I had more food overall. We did get complimentary bread, but that didn’t help much lol. Aside from the food, the server was pretty good and there’s a neat store inside as well. I just think we paid way too much for what we ate. There’s a dessert bar for an extra fee, but we decided not to because everyone serves themselves. It just didn’t seem like a sanitary situation.

The Catfish Florentine is amazing over rice. Vegetables fresh and wonderful. I love the house salad and the breads they offer. Bought the cookbook from gift shop and the owner and author of The Crown signed it for me. Looking forward to many good meals and if I’m ever back in the area will eat there again. Did I mention she makes the best pies!

Save room for pie!

The food was great. We both had catfish but two different dishes. Warm bread in pie slices constantly offered. Three different employees told us to make sure and try all the pies! $3.00 per person self service for the pies all you want to eat. We tried 5 different pie slices and all were great too!

We recently had lunch at The Crown and were charmed by the friendly folks and comfort food. The menu was typical delta fare with flair. The paneed catfish was good and the chicken salad was tasty. The raisin and broccoli salad was quiet good. The sandwiches looked to be good as well. They also have a dessert table with half a dozen pies that were yummy.

Drop in and visit the adjoining gift shop too!
