Council House Restaurant

Fantastic stop for lunch! Friendly, excellent service. Tasty, reasonably priced food. Beautiful country ambiance. The best BLT I've ever had! And the Bread Pudding is top notch.

I absolutely love the fish served at the Council House!! The service is always outstanding and the atmosphere is amazing!! If you are traveling down the Natchez Trace it is a must on your "to do" list!! They have inside and outside dining. If it's cold they will have a fire roaring in the beautiful fireplace!!

Word of Mouth brought me here! I've driven past this eatery many times and never knew about it. Nestled along the Natchez Trace and concealed by the historic town of French Camp you'll find a quaint little diner named The Council House. You can place an order to go or just seat yourself and wait till be helped. They are such nice folks, if you look lost when you walk in, they'll notice and be at your service promptly. I ordered a small Broccoli Salad (best Broccoli Salad I've eaten) and a Turkey Sandwich-So Yum! They make their own bread, ranch garlic mustard and several other amazing condiments. I called me bf as I was leaving bragging on the coolest little restaurant I just found. We made plans to take a motorcycle ride back soon!

Enjoyed a club sandwich with roasted broccoli here today! Had yummy coconut cake for dessert! My children had chicken sandwich with fries and club with onion rings - Mississippi If our with ice cream was delicious according to my son - we all enjoyed our meal so much! Quaint little cafe! Friendly people and fast service! Little gift shop that has some handmade novelties that I am assuming are from local artisans- we also enjoyed a gift shop across the street very much! Able to stroll my granddaughter around a see an old carriage preserved behind glass- just lots of fun and enjoyable little stop!! Will stop again when we are traveling that way!!

The council house offers delicious food and a wide variety. I am from out of town and made the assumption it would not be very busy due to the size of the town and surrounding wilderness. I was wrong! Make a reservation if you can, they are busy! They have a lovely setting, excellent food and sweet servers. We had cheese curds, a delicious blt and a pimiento cheese sandwich. All were really really good. Would definitely recommend!

We stopped here while traveling on the Natchez Trace Parkway based upon a recommendation of a park ranger at the visitor center. We are very glad we listened. We both had Ed's famous BLTs. We also had the chili and topped it off with a Mississippi mud pie. This was very folksy, down home cooking like your mother would make.The BLTs were great. The chili was very thick and satisfying. The Mississippi Mud Pie should be illegal. The service was great, very friendly. This is a wonderful stop along the Trace.Like the Terminator, I'll be back.

Stopped for lunch before checking in to stay at the B&B. Blue late special of catfish was ok. Wife's bunless burger was good. Returned for dinner at 6. A few other tables occupied. Ah hour later still waiting on dinner. One cook working. Waitress did not know if they served coffee. Figured out they did but didn't know if they had creamers. Found some half and half and ask if that was ok. Coffee was ice cold and prob left over from breakfast. 20 minutes later got a hot cup of coffee. 90 minutes after arrival found out they had neither the baked potato or potato salad we ordered. Chef salad came out with almost no ham,turkey,cheese, or bacon. Sent back after three bites. No manager or supervisor present or available. Three young girls working and none with any authority. But they were trying. If I could do less than star I would.

What a wonderful little gem to discover while driving the Natchez Trace Parkway. We spotted it in reviews before the trip but were also told at a Trace information center that it was a lunch stop we should not miss. So very right! The food was outstanding, as was the atmosphere at the log structure's outdoor tables. Great place to have a leisurely lunch on a lovely October day. The turnip greens were the best I've had in years, a reminder of my Georgia childhood, and the catfish was indescribably good. This place is definitely off the beaten path, but it's well worth a stop for anyone enjoying the slow drive along the Trace.

Great place to edt. Considerate waitress. The food was delicious and we were comfortable inside.

Great food. I particularly enjoyed the Broccoli Salad. But the real stars of the show are the waitstaff. Emma was a joy. There was a table next to me being really rude and demanding and she took it all in stride with that big smile on her face. Give her a raise!
