Get off at I-12 and head over to exit 40.

Real Deal BBQ. It's on one of the roundabouts just south of the interstate.

Brando's Rest in Hazelhurst, just to the right off I-55. This would be a great lunch stop.

in Hammond? We get plates there often because it’s close to home but it’s not worth a stop during a drive to Oxford LOL

it’s good enough but it’s only 45 minutes into the drive north to Oxford. Like I said we eat their food since it’s 5 minutes from my house but no I wouldn’t suggest it as a place to stop for visitors

At the same exit is Punjabi Dhaba and that I would suggest

OP if you are near McComb at lunchtime the dinner bell is where I would stop

also Vines (2.0) in McComb is very popular we’ve only stopped there once and it was pretty good. Expect it to be busy at mealtimes

Never eaten there so cannot recommend by there are some catfish houses in Florence, MS along with Country Pleasin's smokehouse. Looks like they're about 15 minutes off I-55. Afterwards, you could take US49 back to I-55 and be on your way.

yeah you’re right that’s a deal breaker. OP forget I said anything

BTW if desperate there is one reasonable facsimile which is the lobby bathroom at the holiday inn right off 55 in Brookhaven. That one saved me many a time

vine's 2.0 in mccomb

plenty of places in the jackson metro. if you don't mind going a little out of the way check out Sacred Ground in pochahontas (about 15 min north of jackson on hwy 49). you can cut back through the woods to get back on I55N

another spot that is solid but more convenient is Pig and Pint in Fondren. much closer to the interstate. good beer selection too

Coach O says if you can wait till Oxford, get the chicken on a stick. "Best he's ever had."
