Tried the grilled catfish this time, with grill seasoning (other option was bbq seasoning). Was pretty good, although I think I would've gone with a tad less seasoning. Hush puppies were better this time (not so hard). Fried okra good but seemed a little oilier than last time. Got baked potato this time (came with two pats of butter on side) since I found out that the brown rice is made with beef consomme. Also tried the "chocolate cobbler", which was really a bowl of gooey, fudginess topped with a crunchy brownie layer and vanilla ice cream. Kind of a molten chocolate cake at the extreme end of molten-ness. I would vote for less gooey-ness and more cakey brownie.

What can you say about a place that fries the catfish and gives you fries with Ro-tel? Very nice....big wait but having a BYOB where I can bring a really nice beer (Saison and Catfish FTW) is a nice plus. Great atmosphere, and I thought the catfish was excellent. Be aware the sides are on the small side, but that's ok with me because it leaves room for peach cobbler and ice cream.

A must stop for a North Mississippi visit. Great place for catfish, hush puppies, sweet tea, music, and personality.

Sure the atmosphere is amazing. But the food is always food. Get there early, bring your booze in a bag, cups or leave a cooler of beer out in the car. The wait is long so be prepared hang out with friend and sip your drink.

I was in town for the UT v Ole Miss game and decided to try this place with some Rebel friends. We knew it was going to be crowded but we figured we'd get our tailgating started a little early. The people at the door told my female friend it would be a three hour wait when we got there at 7:30. At 9 o clock after a couple beers and a couple laughs I decided to check and see where we were on the list. Now I consider it a truism that you never have to wait as long as what they initially tell you at a restaurant. I have been to eat at restaurants in NYC, DC, and LA and never have I been treated with such rudeness. Mind you, i hadn't been inside yet at this point. I went in and asked a gentleman where our reservation stood and he acted incredulous that I would ask. He said, "I told you it would be 3 hours at 7:30. It's 9 now. 8:30, 9:30, 10:30." This while he was counting on his hand. I wasn't drunk, I hadn't been rude, I wasn't wearing burnt orange and this 50+ year old man acted like a teenage girl patronizing her father. I considered making a scene but didn't want to embarrass my friends from MS. I walked out and ate well at a pizza joint on the square. Rebels- don't let this guy continue to give Mississippians a bad name.

this place is really something special. the space has so much character and the food is delicious. some of my fondest memories at ole miss were nights out to taylor with friends or family.. my top recommendation for dining out in the oxford area, and one of my favorite restaurants on the planet. bring a bottle or two of your favorite poison, put in your name and enjoy drinks and conversation with your friends while waiting for a table (almost always a long wait, particularly on a football weekend; it's part of the experience). the food is well worth the wait; best catfish filets i've ever had, consistently. the rotel fries make for a great appetizer, as does the sausage & cheese plate. the vidalia onion salad dressing is GREAT, and once when we were raving about it to our server, she went to the back and brought us a huge bottle to take home - free! You can't beat that. They occasionally have some live music in the room, which is always a welcome addition. do yourself a huge favor and check this place out. worth the middle-of-nowhere drive, and worth the wait.

I'd give this place 5 stars based on the atmosphere alone. This is one of the most unique restaurants you'll ever experience. It's located a few miles outside the Oxford city limits in the Taylor community. From outside, the building looks like it's been abandoned for decades. Once inside, you're in for a real treat. The decor is something out of a John Grisham novel. Live music is played on a small corner stage a few nights each week by local musicians. Get there early or you could have a very long wait - especially on Friday and Saturday nights when Ole Miss has a home football game. Now, to the food. I recommend the catfish fillets and the fried okra for at least one of your sides. The quality of the catfish is topnotch and is very well prepared. I'm a native Southerner who loves catfish, and I consider Taylor's catfish to be outstanding. The service is quick and friendly which always makes a dining experience much better. They also have several good desserts; the cobbler with ice cream is my favorite. This restaurant is a famous place for out-of-town visitors and is even decorated with big CBS and ESPN banners from when the television crews were in town for Ole Miss games. Long story short, if you visit the Oxford area, you owe it to yourself to visit Taylor's.

Coolest restaurant I've ever been to! We went after the Ole Miss/Fresno St. game. I met the Grandson of the original owner, he showed me the original deed when his Grandfather bought the property from the Chiksaw Indians! The food was good, the atmosphere was amazing! This place feels like the Deep South! This is really a fun place!

Lots of fun to come to Taylor Grocery. Take coolers with drinks and enjoy the tailgating until your table is ready. The place couldn't be any more southern if it had to be. Food is ok and can be a bit better on some nights than others. The chocolate cobbler is a must do.
(3)Steve E.
Hard to beat catfish in Mississippi, right? Combine that with an-about-to-fall-in old general store and a band, and you have country good times we were here for the UT game and if I had it to do over again I would get there at 6:30, tailgate an hour and wait to eat. That's part of the experience. Not the best catfish I have ever eaten, but real, real good. More of a four star experience than just food....but would do it again in a heartbeat.

Came here with my family when they were in town and they loved everything from the food to the atmosphere. I had fried shrimp and fries and it was delicious. My dad and brother had catfish and they loved it.
(5)John A.
Overpriced menu, bland food, crappy music that was far too loud for such a small crappy location. Will NEVER return.

Came here on a Sunday night for a friend's birthday. Worst service I've received from any restaurant. The staff were also giving us a hard time for adding on an extra person to our party and stated that next time that person would have to sit at a different table. As for the food, I ordered the country fried pork and chocolate cobbler, both were good and flavorful. However, service was a deal breaker for us and it is safe to say we won't be returning here for a second meal.
(2)Howard D.
Outstanding fried catfish, incredible fried okra, friendly service. It's well worth the drive. Get there early or you will wait. The turnover is pretty quick, though.

I was in town to visit my cousin and go to the Ole Miss/Texas A&M game. He told me about this place outside of town that everyone goes to and had the best catfish around. We went, and there was a two hour wait, which ended up 'only' being an hour and a half. This place really was in the middle of nowhere, so we couldn't exactly kill time. A lot of people were hanging out on the porch having drinks which was fun. The restaurant must draw people with their interesting decor, live music, and decent food. The catfish was ok, and I also tried the spicy chicken. The sides were small for the price. The sweet tea was good. They need another bathroom. As large as this place is and how many people come, it's crazy they always have a line to go.

We stopped here for a Friday lunch during Texas-Ole Miss football weekend. It may have been the large crowds that weekend, but this place certainly ran out food -- and quickly. When we arrived, they had 4 lunch items available (on a dry erase board), but had only 2 options by the time we ordered. Regardless of whether they have 2 or 13 options available, the catfish is the absolute best. While someone at our table ordered lasagna, it was clear that the catfish is by far the best thing on their menu. There was no music/band at lunch, although people suggested that a band plays at nights. It is BYOB but don't roll in a cooler (like us clueless Texans), but bring beers/liquor in a plastic cup. I don't understand Mississippi laws, but apparently it is legal to drink out of a plastic cup but illegal to pull beers from a cooler.

YUMMY.......Catfish & slaw.... nothing ordinary about this place a must-try. Live music & BYOBB

Locals told me I had to try Taylor Grocery and it didn't disappoint. They advertise that they have the "best catfish in Mississippi" and it was pretty awesome. Spent most of the day traveling and arrived very hungry in the late afternoon - just opened for dinner. Had the gumbo for an appetizer and the catfish for my entree. The food was excellent and filling. If you're in Oxford, definitely hit this place up. For a Jersey guy, the town of Taylor was kinda in the middle of nowhere for me, but it's so worth it!

I was in the great state of Mississippi for less than 36 hours, and I had to have a few things. I had to do some tailgating at the Ole Miss-Texas game. I had to see my friend. And most importantly, I had to indulge in some fine Pimento cheese. And honestly, I had much more than I bargained for. But I actually didn't have PC from Taylor Grocery and Restaurant. What actually arose was that we had Taylor cater for us. Skeptical was I upon first inspection over what exactly they had to offer us, the food being in steam table pans just sitting in the kitchen, awaiting a mass "reheating" at some point in the event. Yeah, my inhibitions were ignited by the hosts waiting to serve the food, but still... catering fried food and the like? Come on. Then, all those negative expectations were blown away. Not in the way of a feline water-bound animal, what some like to call Catfish. The fried catfish was, in fact, pretty mediocre. But, the grits made the meal all the more worth it. This wasn't some southern-style cheesy-jalapeno grits. This was straight up baked grits. With an abundance of butter flavor, which can only mean one thing... they use tons of butter. But, the most inviting element was undoubtedly the crust. It was nearly a half inch thick. And I think it was all cheese. It cracked like creme brulee, if you are at all familiar with that crunch that juxtaposes the creamy inside. Likewise with Tayor's Grits. Additionally, there was also offered some odd broccoli stem casserole or something of the sort. Was not really sure. A little runny for my taste. And the black eyed peas were of pretty average quality. But grits are what have to be ingested when dining with Taylor. Apparently the restaurant also has much more in the way of comfort fare, but for this review's sake, I found the grits to be out of this world. And Oxford is a town that is pretty out of this world. I love Oxford, with all of its fratty culture and Southern grub.

This place is all about the ambiance. Its definitely a place that one has to see in person and visit and I really wanted to love the food. Maybe my meal was off tonight. Truly a local place. Sunday night dinner with a 45 min wait and that was fine. BYOB, sitting on the porch, sipping a beer from a red solo cup and enjoying the end of the weekend and an Ole Miss win. Live locaal country singer also made the night more fun. After being seated, had to wait about 15 minutes before our waitress came to the table. The menu looked great and I ordered the catfish. Blackened catfish had very good flavor but was not hot, kind of lukewarm. I ordered the coleslaw and beans as my sides. Coleslaw was a little bland, not much flavor and baked beans were ok. Kids meals of chicken tenders and french fries were hot and my wife had the pork tenderloin that was very hot but fried okra that was bland and soggy. My son had the filet wrapped in bacon that he really liked. Other locations in town such as boure, and ajax are much better. I was really surprised as the high rating it received.
(2)Jeff C.
Darn good catfish. Great atmosphere. bYOB. The fried chicken , grilled chicken and grilled catfish are very good. Thought the coleslaw was good too!
(4)Jen R.
went back for dinner and - gasp! no fried chicken! that's a lunch menu item only. the grilled catfish was mighty fine, too, but how bummed were we to find that we had routed our trip through taylor only to be denied the best fried chicken ever? pretty damned bummed, that's how much. saturday night though meant it was the hoppingest joint around with couples and families and everyone gussied up for date night. plus the guitar players sounded swell. god, i love this place.

One can see how Taylor Grocery might be the platonic ideal of road food: the drive down (semi-)country roads to get there, the Rockwell-perfect setting and storefront, the cabin-y interior and warm staff, the homey lineup of fried specialties. This is it, you tell yourself--and hushpuppies come with everything! But you should have known better when you saw what the locals ordered: fries with rotel, meat-and-cheese plates with Hilshire Farm sausage links and cubed cheese (velveeta?). Huh? Fried catfish, the house specialty, has a weak cornmeal crust and needs salt; the blackened catfish, though a touch too salty itself, far exceeds it (!). Seriously. Sides were a mess: coleslaw came undressed; potato salad had a gross overabundance of sour cream; the "famous" rice merely a store-bought pilaf with a lot of added chicken broth. And those hushpuppies: overfried, with no corn flavor evident. We ended with peach cobbler: too canned, too syrupy, too much goo all around. The ice crea was presumably hand-dipped by the hard workers at Sysco. Overrated, significantly so.

Visiting my mom in Oxford on a very perfect night decided to take a ride out to Taylor Grocery based on something she had read. I am SO glad we did. The BEST service, our waitress was the fastest sweetest woman ever! The BEST catfish ever! We did not have the fried catfish, but that also looked delish. The BEST peach cobbler I've had so far this weekend. The live music wasn't too loud and everything seemed to run fast clean and efficiently. Thank you all for making me feel welcome and feeding me!

This place oozes awesome. If you don't know what this place is like, stop right now, go to the website, and read the 'our story' section. In short, it is a former grocery store on the outskirts of Oxford, MS. There is practically nothing on the way to the place from the city. All of a sudden you come to an intersection and there is a little village. Here lies Taylor Grocery. It's exactly what you'd hope it would look like, dumpy but so cool. Everyone signs their name on the wall, and there is live music. It's not so much a restaurant as it is an experience. So before we went we had some Bourbon and cokes, and since it is BYOB, definitely made to-go cups to take with us. This proved only to enhance the enjoyment factor. The night we went there was no wait, but during football season especially, I am told it is ridiculous. It's fine though because you can just set up a tailgate in the parking lot, which is grass. I don't like fish, and I've never had catfish before this, but dang if it wasn't absolutely delicious. If you're ever up that way you must go because it is a real treat. I was pumped to go to this place before my trip to Oxford and I was not disappointed one bit. Just FYI, where it says it is on the map is incorrect.

This place really has some of the best Southern fried catfish you will ever taste. I really don't even like catfish but I like the catfish here. They also have a very respectable selection of many other tasty dishes and cook a mean steak. The main dining area is a great historical place with some very unique additions (like many patrons signatures and mine is in there several places). The place gets crazy crowded during home game weekends so go really early or not at all. It is also right in the middle of tiny Taylor and there is usually some great music going on and a happy group of revelers to join in with and have some fun if you like that type of thing (having fun that is). I'm not a big fan of lunch here as the portions are very small so I would certainly advise against lunch and stick with dinner here. The sides are also in seious need of a remake as they are authentic examples of Southern dishes just not executed in a way that I like. Definitely a "must do" when visiting the Oxford area for the ambiance and catfish!!! Just make sure to bring your own booze!
