Restaurants

-

Washington Street offers some of the top dining destinations in the city. The 1311 Bar and Grill is a relatively new addition that is popular with locals. They offer premium beers on tap and can become quite busy on Saturdays during college football season, as there are a number of TVs here to watch the games.

Vicksburg is also known for its outstanding BBQ and other Southern cuisine. Big Bucks Barbeque located along Old Highway 3 in nearby Redwood is a beloved institution. Cafe Anchuca  on First East Street is a great choice if you want some authentic local flavor. The restaurant is an old antebellum mansion that has been converted into a bed and breakfast, but the restaurant serves outstanding seafood and Southern classics all day.
