Malt Shop

Upon arriving in Natchez, Mississippi, we circled the town in search of a local restaurant at which we might eat dinner. In our search we passed the Malt Shop twice. It didn't look like much but had lots of people coming and going -- a sign there might be something good here.  As it was getting late we were hungry, I abandoned our search and headed back to the Malt Shop. I am glad we did.

We found the best in local drive-ins at the Malt Shop. They had an extensive menu, friendly service, and tasty food. This is the kind of restaurant that makes roadtripping fun. When in Natchez, stop by the Malt Shop for a tasty treat.

Mammy's Cupboard

Mammy's Cupboard is a roadside restaurant inside a giant's skirt. They were closed when we passed by, so we didn't get to see inside or sample the food. We did, however, snap a few photos.

Flick's Slow Gas

The gas pumps at Flick's were slow. I tried a few of them before giving up. My multiple gas purchases at the same place for less than $1 each triggered text messages and phone calls from my bank's fraud detection systems.

Rural Life Museum

Stepping into the LSU Rural Life Museum is like stepping back in time. The museum contains an impressive collection of buildings and artifacts that exemplify the history of rural life in Louisiana.
