3 14 24 update to 5 year old review. Lunch - No more poboy, menu much more limited, fried chicken buffet and like everything more expensive. The service, atmosphere, and setting are still very nice. We each had the shrimp and crab meat salad, which was very good. It was also the only thing on the menu that was a little unusual. Bring back the old menu, please.(Lunch) Shrimp Romoulade salad with fried green tomatoes and deviled eggs, wife half and half poboy (half oysters half shrimp) and 2 Bloody Marys! Excellent and $15 for entries and good BM at $7 each.

The atmosphere was amazing. The wait staff was very professional and attentive. Our food took a little long, and it seemed to be overcooked.I will give them another chance the next time I am in town because I heard great things.

We used to love this place and looked forward to the chicken on our annual trips to Natchez. Never again… Took an hour and fifteen minutes to get our dishes and no biscuits. Most sides they were out of. And there was only four or five tables seated. The manager didnt have the balls to come and talk to us to explain. Crawfish etouffe???? Not a crawfish in two bowls… Lima beans? There was a few beans in the bowl of salt they gave us… It will be a while before we return there. No thank you!!! I had to give one star as it wouldn’t let me give no stars…

This was the worst food imaginable and then service was awful. Maybe they were having a bad day? We were a group of 30 people when we got there it seemed they had no idea we were coming. We were sat all over the dining room (not together) and then some people got their food asap and others waited 30/40 mins. The fried chicken was DRY!!! The catfish was dry and had not flavor. Then they said they were bringing dessert as we were about to leave for our tour of the main house. They ran so behind we hardly made it to our tour. Also when served water the glasses were dirty, silverware was dirty. I had food and lip stick on my cup and my fork had lip marks. My mom's glass Also had food stuck to it.

The service was crazy slow and inattentive. We had to rely on other servers to get a steak knife, water, etc. They ran our card on the wrong check and it took forever for someone to fix it. They appeared to be quite understaffed. Also, the steak was undercooked. Very underwhelming experience all around. There are so many better restaurants in this town.

We visited for Thanksgiving and would definitely return. The food was absolutely delicious! Servers were stretched too thin with the holiday crowd, we were never able to score a refill on our drinks and had to leave the table to find someone to help us pay our bill after waiting for quite some time, but dining out on a holiday requires patience and understanding. Loved our time at this beautiful historic property!

There was 1 person working the kitchen on the Sunday of Ballon Fest weekend. Our waitress was overwhelmed. Not her fault. My review is based on the poor management.

This is just the most quintessential Southern dining experience imaginable!The atmosphere is lovely: it feels like you’ve stepped back into the glamor of the 1950’s.It’s hard to find a dining experience that feels special, but this place fits the bill!The chef greeted us personally and welcomed us not only to his establishment, but to the city. He gave suggestions on what we had to do and see while there.I enjoyed the oysters, and they were divine! My friend got the chicken livers (fried) and my other friend the tomato aspic (how wonderfully vintage) and fried chicken. All of it was just utterly delicious!For us, this is a must see/eat destination when in Natchez!
The carriage house has become one of my favorite restaurants in Natchez. Delicious food, impeccable service and delightful atmosphere. Hats off to the Continental Cook and Carriage House.

I was in natchaz over the weekend for fall pilgrimage (my first time❤️The❤️❤️) The Carriage house was recommended to me by a friend and just had to give it a try and i was so happy and pleased i did ❤️❤️❤️I ordered the in house burger and WOW.. thick, juicy and amazing the right amount of drippings down the arm lol ???The salad was served on a COLD PLATE... Thank you very much... Nothing puts a damper on a dining experience like eating salad on a hot/warm or room temperature plate.. so thank you carriage house for paying attention to that detailA very wonderful and kind gentleman came from the back( forgive me for not remembering your name) to make sure we were pleased with our food... It's not everyday or everywhere you get that type of service... So thank youAll in all my Natchaz Mississippi experience was an amazing one and the carriage house restaurant made it even betterHope to visit again soon ?

Menu reads hamburger is house made. Waitress said the burger patty is actually not made in-house.Salad came with ample old and wilted lettuce. The ranch dressing was clearly an institutional product.The biscuits were oddly small (about diameter of a .50 cent piece) dense, old, stoggy, and gummy. They were uncooked and with a doughy collapsed center. The butter was served in a sauce cup with a ring of old melted butter showing it had previously melted and been rechilled. It appears dirty and tasted like a dirty cooler.The catfish was undercooked (raw) and not fresh, crumbling into a slimy puddle. I dont believe it is catfish, and it appears to be the texture and look of swai trying to be passed off as catfish. The fish was still frozen when breaded, thus the breading separating when fried. All the frozen water melting in the frier steamed the breading off. This chef failed at the simplest skills in frying anything. I could not imagine trying their fried chicken. Undercooked foreign fish leads merely to a liver fluke; under cooked chicken can lead to the ER.The tartare sauce, or what they call tartare sauce, is obviously made in-house with either buttermilk or sour cream and resembling nothing like traditional tartare sauce. The only way it is discernable as house-made is because it is so unusually bad that there is no way a commercial producer could ever obtain a distribution deal trting to sell it to restaurants--not in 100 years!No cocktails were available for brunch despite receiving a drink list with the menu.Flies were buzzing around the table, I even killed some with a napkin. See photos. The dining room is old, dated, and musty.The waitress was kind, but the chef looked like a slob. He was on the front-house floor speaking with another guest when we arrived. He appeared to take little pride in his own appearance, so I was not surprised that there was no pride in the food.This place was recommended by a coworker who used to be a member of the garden club. I have to question her judgment on everything she does now. No, seriously, it's one of the worst meals we have ever been served, anywhere in the world. Definitely in the top 5 worst.Parking: Street parking east side.Wheelchair accessibility: Bring your own so you can be wheeled to the hospital if you get sick.

I didn't see anywhere to park that was very close and there were steps up from the street. We're all ambulatory so no biggie. Atmosphere is nice. Staff was friendly. We were anxious to try that famous fried chicken and biscuits. Not a fan. The chicken's crunchiness was the best part otherwise pretty tasteless. The three sides are rice/gravy, FF, or "sweet" peas. Choose two. Again the rice & gravy and peas were nothing special. Did come with decent salad and the house ranch dressing was good. We felt food was overpriced. Definitely paying for atmosphere and not tastiness of the food. Biscuits are cute and nice touch but...

We ordered 2 fish cake meals. It then turned out that they could only fulfill one and we would have to wait for more fishcakes. After 5 minutes of the first one going cold i asked how long the second one would be. 4 minutes she said. I asked why she hadn't waited until she could plate up both meals. She offered to put the first under a hot plate but I declined as there was salad on it. Eventually she agreed to change the first meal when the fresh fishcakes arrived after I insisted.
Just don't do it...
