About the restaurant

Nestled within Vicksburg’s oldest neighborhood, & located inside the town’s oldest columned mansion/bed & breakfast that survived the Civil War, Restaurant Anchuca exudes true Southern hospitality & happiness — after all, the name “Anchuca” is derived from the Choctaw word meaning “happy home.”

Don’t miss the filet — it’s so tender you won’t need a steak knife! Guests consistently say it’s the best filet they’ve ever had. Other specialties include the scrumptious shrimp & grits, paneed catfish featuring Mississippi farm-raised catfish, exceptional chicken piccata, & a variety of dinner and dessert specials.

Looking for great wine? With an emphasis on family-owned vineyards, artisan producers, highly sought after imports, & a wide range of price points, Restaurant Anchuca is proud to deliver world-class wine alongside Mississippi’s world-class hospitality. Our award-winning selection has been curated especially for Restaurant Anchuca by Mississippi’s only advanced-level sommelier.

This is by far the BEST overall dining experience we’ve had when dining with Inn associated restaurants. Beautiful music at the perfect volume, candlelight, helpful and knowledgeable wait staff and food that exceeded all expectations. Stand outs were the seafood gumbo and special Mahi Mahi. I can’t wait to return.

We appreciated that the restaurant was open on Thanksgiving. We enjoyed everything but prime rib was a bit on the salty side. Overall, a good experience.

Tupelo

About the restaurant

Recently named the Best Fining Dining Restaurant in Mississippi by Mississippi Magazine and located in the Fairpark District, Park Heights offers Chef Thomas Lester's menu including seared hanger steak, yellowfin tuna tartar, heirloom tomato caprese, prosciutto wrapped monkfish and prime cuts of beef. The main dining room, with its reclaimed hardwood floors and retro lighting, provides an atmosphere that is sophisticated without feeling formal. Often sited as the best in town, the service is professional and gracious, and the wine list is extensive. If you enjoy dining al fresco, try the rooftop or patio which have amazing views of downtown.

This is our favorite restaurant in Tupelo. Food is always delicious and the service is excellent. The restaurant is comfortable and lovely. We brought out of state guests here tonight and everyone enjoyed their meal. I had the Springer brick chicken, which was juicy and very good. My husband had the pork chop and loved it. We tried the fried apple pie for dessert- it's three small fried apple pies dusted with powdered sugar and served with a sauce. It's a bit too sweet for me but I found if I avoided the sauce, the apple pie was good. My husband ate all three of his apple pies plus one of mine so it obviously wasn't too sweet for him!

Great food and good service. We sat at the bar, but Micah was a great server and had some delicious suggestions. He also went out of the way to make sure our delayed appetizers were expedited and still hot! All the staff was focused on satisfying us from the hostesses until we left. We (3 sisters) were in town for the marathon and really appreciated the service and terrific food.
