Eventually, the roadside shops joined forces, creating The Tomato Place of today, which is known for its local produce, fresh-squeezed lemonade, and BLTs.

H.D. Gibbes & Sons/Google Don’t be fooled by its appearance. H.D. Gibbes & Sons looks like a historic general store – and that’s because it is. However, it’s not just a general store. Several nights a week, it acts as a restaurant, serving up steak, lamb chops, seafood, and more. H.D. Gibbes & Sons, 140 Main St, Learned, MS 39154, USA
- The Simmons-Wright Company (Toomsuba)

C.H.O.P. Clay’s House Of Pig, 205 S Veterans Memorial Blvd, Tupelo, MS 38804, USA

Front Street Snack Bar/Facebook
Front Street Snack Bar/Facebook A tiny, one-table restaurant wedged between two buildings, Front Street Snack Bar is as unassuming as can be, so the fact that it’s been around for years speaks volumes. The steady stream of customers is undoubtedly due to the menu, which features an array of burgers, hot dogs, fries, and other classics. Front Street Snack Bar, 108 W Front St, Iuka, MS 38852, USA
- Mammy’s Cupboard (Natchez)

lois butler/Google Shaped like a giant woman, you’d be hard-pressed to find another restaurant like Mammy’s Cupboard! Its unique appearance isn’t the only thing that makes it a must-visit, though. Over the years, it’s topped countless “best of” lists, including the “best roadside diner” and the “best pie.” Mammy’s Cupboard, 555 US-61, Natchez, MS 39120, USA
- The Shed BBQ and Blues Joint (Ocean Springs)
