Some of my favorites:
I can't think of the name but the gas station in Morgan City. I like the big old greasy cheeseburgers and the lady there likes to pick on me, which makes it fun. I always go in and ask for tater tots or onion rings, neither of which she has. Now when she sees me come in she makes it a point to aggravate me. :D

Fratesi Grocery in Leland. They have a good lunch and the brothers are good to talk to. Turns out that one of their sister-in-laws is living over here in Walker County and working at the hospital.

Lost Dog Pizza in Indianola is pretty good.

The Mexican joint on 49 in Belzoni. I usually get the "Filet Releno".

they used to (may still have) the coldest brew-pops in the Delta in a special cooler behind the counter for the "vip" customers, before they renovated (read: tore down the old lil store right next to the road, updated and expanded)......
definitely got a good plate lunch and the deli sandwiches are mighty nice, too!

It's on the other side of the river but I like the Cow pen.

T-bone aint bad either. Wife and mother always get the broiled shrimp.

Luscos (supper) and Chrystal Grill (Lunch) are favorites of mine.

Eat at Lusco's a few times a month with my family. I usually get the strip (every now and a then, i'll get the shrimp) but my grandfather loves the pompano!

Crystal Grill is great for lunch as well! It's funny, Tony the doorman started working there when I was in cub scouts! Me and my grandfather used to go to the Crystal every week before my boyscout meetings, did that for several years! I'm 25 now, Tony has been there for a while! There was a time for about 3 years, I wouldn't eat anything at Crystal but spaghetti and meatballs, my grandmother loves bringing that up when we eat there! They have great spaghetti! Can't beat the Veal Cutlet either!

There is a new place in Greenwood as well called the "Delta Bistro" the chef is my older sisters age and they are friends. Pretty good place to get lunch! I got some kind of Shrimp Po-boy that was really good last time we were there.

KK's is good as well. My dad usually makes us go there when he comes to Greenwood!

Gardenia's at the Alluvian is pretty good, my grandparents usually eat there every Wednesday after my grandmothers choir practice. Lasagna is really good there too!

Mai Little China is a great restaurant as well! It is in Highland Park shopping center by the old movie theater. They actually have a pretty good steak there as well as some great Chinese dishes! The restaurant was named one of the top 100 Chinese restaurants in the country this year! The Mai's are great people, always feel like we are treated great when we go in there!

Hard to beat Doe's Eat Place in Greenville! Always enjoy when I get to go over there for dinner! Little Charles can cook up a storm!

Fratesi's for lunch is always good!

The Varsity in Belzoni is hard to beat for Breakfast!

Do yourselves a favor and eat at Oxbow as well as Yazoo Pass in Clarksdale. Both are exceptional!
