16 Best American Restaurants near Sherman

“There are not a lot of “all you can eat buffet style” restaurants open post-Covid, but this catfish place in the small town of Sherman in north Mississippi is an exception doing a lot of business. When you drive up into a parking lot that’s an acre or more and you have to grab the first spot you see, you know it’s popular and must be pleasing someone. Now if buffets and Southern Cooking aren’t your cup of tea, you probably need to go elsewhere. If you remember them from the ol’ days and you liked them, you will feel right at home. For about $15 a head, you can eat until you can’t eat any more. There is, of course, catfish cooked multiple ways — filets, whole, baked and broiled slabs — along with chicken, pork, meat loaf and boiled shrimp. Just about any veggie you want is there along with all the fixings and bread. And don’t leave without tasting some of the best cobblers — blackberry, peach and apple were available for us — anywhere and close to a dozen flavors of hand-dipped ice cream. You pay going in — there is a discount for cash — and take a seat to wait on your waitress to get your drink, give you a fork and napkins, and turn you loose. Our server checked in regularly to make sure everything was okay. Yes, there is a line for the buffet, but it moves well. Not much negative to say except that the slaw is a bit different than we’ve had elsewhere, the cups are tiny for salads, and there was no fried shrimp. Two hints: arrive early and leave room for plenty because your eyes will out-do your tummy.“

“This place has been one of the best restaurant experiences I've had in the states so far.I've been cycling across the states from Canada on my own food tour and this is a spot worth checking out.Had the chicken greens sandwich on the waiters recommendation, had the Bellini sips sour beer and a peach jalapeno margarita. Might have been the best Marg I've had in the states so far.Good stuff.“

“Stopped with a large camper because of the truck parking. Decided to have our breakfast here at this Huddle House!! Would give it 10 stars if we could. Our waitress was Clarissa she was awesome even when they were swamped with orders. Next time we are passing through this will be our go to spot!! Thanks to all who work there!!!“

“This was a "must go to" place recommended by locals. It was an interesting place to check out. The service staff was friendly and helpful - providing descriptions of the "gotta try" items. The burgers were very good. The customers at our shared table said to have the blueberry donut desert - fantastic - never had anything like it. They said the blueberry donuts come from Connie's Chicken on the other side of town. Well worth a visit.“

“Oh what a great meal, my husband and I had dinner here on the last night of a week long trip, best food I had on the trip to Memphis, Nashville and Bowling Green KY. Britney was a great server, very personable and I am so thankful she recommended the salmon, it was outstanding and the brussel sprouts were scrumptious as well as the baked potato. My husband enjoyed his dinner also, he had the chicken and shrimp dinner. We started out with 2 very nice salads, a dinner salad and a Caesar salad. Be sure to eat here if you are in Tupelo MS and ask for Britney to be your server, you will be glad you did!!“

“I haven't ever had a bad meal here. Veggies are fresh not from a can. Any meat is seasoned well and tender. You will think you are in your mom or grandmother's kitchen. I also used them for a catering a few weeks ago, and they knocked it out of the park. Daily specials are posted on their Facebook daily, but anything on the menu is delicious. Mrs. Beverly and team are fabulous!“

“We haven't been to Scarlet's in a very long time. Stopped in for some coffee and donuts of course. We had French cream donuts, regular donuts, some donut holes and an eclair. Very tasty. Very friendly and helpful staff, i am disabled and the manager was very kind in bringing my hot drink to my table. Thank you for your kindness . An enjoyable experience.“

“My sister and I were passing through Tupelo and wanted to try something new. After a quick google search we found this literal hole in wall with the neatest atmosphere. We read all the reviews and all were wonderful other than one from a year ago complaining about menu size ? Haha and the seasoning on fries.. well let me tell you, if you ain’t sneezing, you ain’t seasoning! And I’m going to say that person ain’t sneezing. The service was quick and the waitress was the sweetest! We both ordered the ribeye steak sandwiches and the cook had to be on his/her A-game because they were cooked to perfection and had the best flavor! The fries and pork skins had the best seasoning ?? and the pricing was even better! 10 out of 10! We will 100% be back and can’t wait!“

“Great little restaurant! Super friendly service and great food. Most of all the food is made or grown local. Had a Salmon BLT and American burger. Great food with short wait. Was not precooked or made. Would definitely eat here again if and when we’re passing through again.“

“OMG, I had no idea I could get my tenders dipped in honey gold sauce. It’s definitely a 15/10. It was fresh, and I LOVE it. The workers were also very kind, and that goes a long way. My only complaint would be the French fries. They taste old, and like they were heated in the microwave. They are hard too.“

“I don't hand out 5 stars wily nily, but this place earns it.The ribs were incredible. The three sauces were all flavorful, my favorite was the hot.The Mac n cheese was fresh, and not flavorless like the majority of places I've been. The fries were also great.My favorite aspect might be the self serving drinks, meaning you don't have to wait on staff- which is great because the place was busy.I usually rate the water, but I only had coke zero. (Which was good but not chic-fil-a good)“

“This is a hidden gem in Tupelo, Mississippi. The atmosphere and ambiance are incredible. The service is wonderful and friendly. The place is very clean and tidy. And the food was amazing. I will definitely be back!Parking: Parking at Holiday Inn on Gloster St in Tupelo, Mississippi.Kid-friendliness: They have a kid friendly menu.Wheelchair accessibility: This restaurant is located on the first floor adjacent to the hotels lobby. All are welcome to dine or grab a beverage at the bar.“

“We are not fine dining people. We tried several other places but the wait times were hours long. Park Heights could get us right in, so we nervously gave it a shot. The menu is very limited and isn’t what we typically see when we eat out. We are more Texas Road House people lol. My wife had the Lobster Tempura sushi roll, my son had chicken tenders and fries, my daughter had buttered noodles, and I had the steak frites. For dessert we had bread pudding with ice cream. FYI, the children’s menu is just chicken tenders with fries or buttered noodles. We all really enjoyed our meals, as everything tasted delicious. Our server was friendly however wasn’t as attentive as we would have liked. Overall, we really enjoyed Park Heights and would recommend.“

“Awesome southern style BBQ.. I love coming home and seeing pork on the menu again. The beef brisket is as good as many texas joints brisket.. The service was great and the prices reasonable. I'll definitely be going back again next visit.“

“I enjoy their Turkey burger substitution, with any burger topping dressings, on the menu. I love their cheese sticks (hand breaded) & the cheese dip, I think it is called white queso. I do not eat them together. It is just a great app option. The fried chicken is delicious, oooo that honey mustard with it!! (The chicken tenders are great & hand battered.) I highly recommend to eat in house, you can get the full hot freshness. ? Please, don't pass up the homemade ranch with anything, but extremely good with the fries & pizza!!“

“I was in my childhood town of Tupelo this past week and decided to go to Harvey's for dinner. I had the crab cakes and my guest had the steak salad. The food was excellent and the service was great and ambiance is very inviting. The menu covers about anything you might wish to eat for lunch or dinner. And, if you love desserts then you must check out their options. Check out Harvey's if you haven't ever been in or it has been awhile since you have.“
