You aren't going to find a better old fashioned in town than right here. Then again, you probably won't find a better anything.

Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. Head upstairs. Elbow past the crowd. Get a seat on the balcony. Look at Johnny Reb. Sip your Wild Turkey, rocks.

Though locals (especially twenty-somethings) associate City Grocery with its upstairs bar, the restaurant is exceptional and the shrimp & grits are a must.

Check out the shrimp and grits with house bacon. It's a perfect, rich combination.

Shrimp and grits was excellent. Our waitress recommended honey pie with lavender ice cream for dessert. Might sound weird but it was great.

Add the fried oysters. Super quality. Yum! I put them on my salad which was meh without them. The black eyed pea cakes were perfect. The servers were on their A game! Gumbo was weak.

One of the finest places you'll ever go to. It's in Oxford on the square but don't let that fool you

They have rotating seasonal menus. The goat cheese and spinach was so good!

After dinner, head upstairs to the balcony for a nightcap or two. Watch Ole Miss students partying below and enjoy the music emanating from other venues on the square.

The menu changes seasonally; fall options include peaches with pickled green garlic, truffle-infused pork loin with black-eyed pea caviar and balsamic ice cream sandwich with fried basil leaves.
