Reviews

Fantastic country cooking. They give you hungry sized portions and all their food is awesome. I eat there constantly. Can't get enough.

Andy Farley

Junior's is consistently excellent. The food tastes fresh and delicious every time, and the customer service is top-notch. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and on the ball—even during their busy lunch rush. They keep things running smoothly and make sure every customer is taken care of. It’s hard to find a place that gets both the food and the experience right, but Junior’s nails it. Highly recommend!

Eric Franks

This was our first time here since they changed ownership. They give generous portions and the price was reasonable. I had chicken and dressing with gravy, a roll and cream corn with tea. They have cranberry sauce but I had to ask for it. The room temperature stuffing was good, but a bit too salty. The roll and tea were good. The cream corn was delicious. My husband had meatloaf, mashed potatoes and gravy and fried apples with a roll and tea. He said it was good. Everything was lukewarm except for his apples, which were hot. He said everything was pretty good. For the price of $29 for both meals, I would give a grade of B. We will most likely come back and try something else.

Excellent, had smoked prime rib & all you can eat catfish.

Jason Johnston

Food was really good customer service that I had had a great personality and felt like home cook meal. I highly recommend this store if you like southern food and they just start doing breakfast I give it a nine out of 10.

This place was sooooo good! Saw a Facebook post about it & had to check it out. Being from Memphis, I have not found a good Soulfood/Country cooking spot in Desoto County until today. I have catfish, purple hull peas & mash potatoes. The cat fish was crispy, well seasoned & over all delicious. The sides were equally as good. I like my food SEASONED and honey, it did not disappoint! I rarely write reviews, but this one was well deserved. Well done!!! I'll be back soon!!
