Fratesi Grocery & Service Station

The food is always fresh and delicious and they have a variety of different Cajun seasonings to choose from for your home cooking

I never would've found this place on my own. I was nearby, at Mississippi Delta State University in Moorhead and when I asked a local photographer where I could grab lunch nearby, he didn't hesitate... drive about 20-25 minutes down the road and get a sandwich at Fratesi Brothers.It's legit. Tucked in a gas station. Been there forever. Packed with locals eating and a bunch of characters behind the counter. I came in hungry and was being indecisive, so I asked the woman at the counter what she recommended. I ended up with a cheesesteak, grabbed a bag of chips and a sweet tea from the gas station, and was not disappointed.

Fratesi Brothers Grocery is a gas station/grocery/sandwich shop near the crossroads of Hwy 61 & Hwy 82 in the heart of the Mississippi Delta. The Fratesi Brothers are the sons of Italian immigrants who settled here to farm. Their breakfast and lunches are very popular with local farmers and others passing through. Be warned, you may have to share a table with someone but no worries as you are in the south and everyone is hospitable. Who knows you might make a new acquaintance. Most dishes are American with a little Italian and Louisiana Creole mixed in for flavor. You gotta try the turkey melt sandwich on ciabatta bread. I also like the Philly chicken poboy. Their burgers and plate lunches are popular as well.

Club sandwich with fries! I subbed mustard instead mayonnaise. Delicious! Definitely will order again.
