Gibbs Country Store

Love Gibbs store but they are closed for renovation for at least a month as of today Sept 5, 2015. I was told to check Facebook for exact date.

Came here on a suggestion from friends and not knowing what to expect. After asking around and searching Unilocal,getting mixed reviews, we decided to give this place a try. We knew it would be paper plates„ knew it was an old country store„ and knew it was an ‘out of the way’ place to go„ and not to expect ‘fine dining. We arrived at 4:45pm, which was PERFECT, since the place doesn’t open until 5:00pm on Saturday. We were seated immediately, they took our order promptly, and there was no excessive waiting. The wait staff was attentive and nice. We carried a small cooler with our alcohol drinks inside since all that is served is beer & light wine. You may bring wine & liquor. I ordered the filet, cooked medium that I would put beside any fine dining place in the area. Hands down, one of the best & cooked to perfection. It was served with a loaded Idaho baked potato (sour cream, butter & chives). The potato was ‘man size’ and I could only eat half! I ordered a salad, that was delicious, with homemade ‘comeback’ dressing. My husband ordered the ribeye, cooked medium and cooked perfectly, with the sweet potato, which was loaded with brown sugar, butter, and maple syrup! It had to be the best sweet potato he’s had. And our friend ordered the lamb chops that she says were the most succulent ones she’s had, with the sweet potato as well. For dessert, we all ordered the funeral brownie, which was a brownie, topped with chocolate creame, then ice cream, topped with whipped cream! Yummy!
So after all the mixed reviews we got, our trip to Gibbs was delightful and fun and turned out to be a trip well worth our hour ride to get there and one we will definitely do again!

Enjoyed the drive there tonight from Jackson on this beautiful Spring day. Steaks were cooked perfectly, sides and salads were excellent. Waitstaff was friendly and efficient. Will come again and bring guests!

We traveled from Atlanta to visit some local friends and had heard about Gibbes for years. We couldn’t wait to try it and it did not disappoint! Fun atmosphere in the old country store/​restaurant. It is actually an operating country store with products on the shelves, old tyme cash register, and coolers filled with cokes and beer. You bring your own wine or liquor and serve yourself. Long tables run the length of the store and everyone is seated family style. Meals are served on dixie plates. I had the filet with the grilled shrimp, baked potato, and salad. It was cooked to perfection and was delicious. We tried the bread pudding and 12 mile creek dessert– a must! Imagine a bushwacker in a drink glass. Yum! Even had Big Earl from Pearl playing live music. They send you home with a H.D. Gibbes and Sons cup to commemorate your big night out at the store. Loved the atmosphere and the food. You MUST try if you are in the area! Accepts cash or check only–

Excellent meal with a unique atmosphere. A different experience with the shared tables.

This place is really neat. Just like the good olé days.
Living was easy & fun.
The Rib Eye steak was delicious along with baked potato– salad & potato casserole.
The beer is serve yourself but was really cold.
You can bring your own bottle of wine
Can’t wait to go back.

Great location, the drive to and from is part of the experience. Food is wonderful and the atmosphere is also great. This is an old country store that makes you feel like you are eating with the family. If you visit Mississippi, or have visitors, you need to take them here. The only issue is that they get very busy and sometimes the service is a little slow. However, it is worth the wait. You will love the food and atmosphere.

Marvelous. This is what the South tastes like. The menu changes regularly, but everything I’ve had here has been delicious. I remember in particular one evening with chargrilled hamburger steak, ruby-​like sliced beefsteak tomatoes from the garden, transcendent sauteed squash and much more.

When I think of a «country store» in my mind, I can’t bring up a mental image of any building/​setting that could be more of a country store than this one! This is a REALLY cool, off-​the-​beaten-​path old-​time store that doubles as a «restaurant» certain nights of the week. (I put the word restaurant in quotations, because they do nothing more than set up tables in the store to act as a restaurant… VERY charming.) We went on a Friday night, and the place was packed! While the menu is very limited, all of the entrees ordered by our table were very good, and all three of the desserts they offer are AWESOME! Maybe slightly pricey for what you might expect, but the whole experience is worth it. I can tell you, we plan to revisit this establishment often.
(NOTE: They take Checks and Cash ONLY!)
BIG fan, and I highly recommend!

If you’re looking for an example of an old country store that hasn’t changed much since the clapboards went up, then this is the place. We stopped in recently to ask for directions and ended up meeting JoAnn, who knew some of our family. It was a cool spot and all of the kids loved running up and down the two long main isles. Saturday night is steak night and I wish that we could have stayed for it.
