Pope Country Cafe

I have to admit that I am attracted to divey looking (to a point) places off the beaten track. Pope Country Cafe hits those 2 points for sure. It's kinda cute inside and the menu is large, with practically every fried item there is. We first tried the fried pickle chips with seemingly house made ranch dressing. The coating on the pickles was just slightly brown and they sat in a pool of grease. This is a tell tale sign of fryer grease that is old and needs to be changed. I ordered a grilled catfish po'boy, hoping to avoid more grease. Unfortunately, the sandwich was served on a grocery store hoagie bun, and the tots suffered from above mentioned grease issue. Another disappointing choice, as was my husband's catfish plate. The hush puppies were large and inviting looking, but the taste was pure grease. I should add that the service was pretty bad- inefficient and slow, and if I had used the restroom before I ordered, I would have just left. I don't recommend this place at all. 0 stars if I could.

We came to this adorable little country restaurant for breakfast. The owner was the only one on service and she was super attentive and quick to get orders. We ordered your typical diner breakfast of eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast. The sweet tea was on point. It's nice to have a real homemade sweet tea. The breakfast was fresh and seasoned good. We were treated with great southern hospitality and it was nice to be greeted by all the towns patrons when they came in. The cafe looks like an old wooden cabin. Reminds me of Virginia city. This was a great hidden gem. We will be back tomorrow as we are in town for a couple days.

Not far from hiway 55- this stop worked great for our rv trip. Enough room for parking on side of cafe. Shrimp and grits were delicious. Burger and onion rings were tasty. Service was friendly and fast. Only suggestion - Would have liked more corn, less flour in the smart dogs( hushpuppies).

We went to the Pope Country Café one morning for breakfast while camping at one of the campgrounds at Enid Lake. We chose to sit at a booth (we were there with another couple) and were promptly waited on and were brought the beverages we chose (coffee mostly). I ordered Big Daddy's breakfast (3 eggs, scrambled, bacon, sausage, grits, hashbrowns, biscuits and side of red-eye gravy). My wife ordered the oatmeal with a side of scrambled eggs. Our friends both ordered the Western omlette, each with their own customizations. Everyone's food came out hot and was delicious. The staff were all very attentive, friendly and talkative, although not overly so. We sat at our table for well over an hour, visiting with each other. The café was not noisy at all and we enjoyed our time.We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast at the Café and will likely be back to enjoy lunch or dinner one evening while camping at Enid Lake. Don't forget to get a picture on the HUGE rocking chair in front of the café.

Friendly service that's out of the way from the interstate. Great country cooking food. If you are on 55 in north Mississippi, go there.

The best kept secret for home cooked food with no chemical or preservatives All home madeBreakfast is wonderful also

Two thumbs up! Clean, friendly, and breakfast was cooked perfectly with some outstanding menu choices. Our server was pleasant and efficient. Didn't sample the homemade cakes by the register, but don't think I would've been disappointed

Is service is bad took a long time for us to get our food. When the food did come it was bad my baked tater was on 25% tater the rest barbecue sauce.The thing that was the best was to eat ambiance, there was a bunch of cool decorations and the cups had decoration on them too.

A little country cafe about a mile off of I-55 in Pope. Cute place. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. I had a grilled cheese/fried green tomato sandwich toasted to perfection. Hubby had the fish sandwich. Both were good with seasoned fries. Since it was Saturday and not opened, we were able to park our camper trailer next door at the propane business. Nice stop on our way back to Memphis. I think they have a buffet during the week. May have to make a day trip just to check it out.

What a hole in the wall find! Good burger. Nice people. Definitely a down home kinda place.
