It's the best chicken in America and the best service and just the best place in atmosphere to be in thank you Mr D .

The food was amazing and the staff was awesome. The history was interesting, and the atmosphere was open and fun. The best fried chicken in Louisiana.

The thing about fried chicken is the crust. This is The Thing. Loved the place and their hand washing routine!

Best fried chicken I have had in a long time. Nice southern atmosphere in a old country store. Stop and see the Windsor Ruins after lunch, it is near by.

Excellent, Excellent, Excellent food and an adventure too. I had to laugh at the very few one star reviews. Most one star reviews said they weren't upset about having to wash their hands but they sure did mention it. Are you really so use to being dirty that washing your hands is a problem? If it didn't upset you why mention it. Also had to laugh at the ones who drive there during it right after COVID shutdown to find the restaurant closed...I guess they have never heard of a new thing called the phone. Even now unless it's local and we know it's open we will call to verify hours before going somewhere new. But some people just get their jollies putting others down. Back to the food at the County Store. Everything we ate was great. People were very friendly and we will certainly go back. Love me some Country Store fried chicken.

Excellent food and a unique experience! We're travelers, and we rumbled through here on a tour of the Deep South. I'm a Vicksburg, MS native, so I know all of "the spots"... hehe. And this is one of them. Drop by the Old Country Store for a delicious, old-fashioned soul food buffet and a serenade by the chef, "Mister D"! He told us he'd originally bought this property to "flip" it, but soon fell in love with the area and stayed. The Old Country Store features high shelves and ladders from which store clerks used to pick your order; self-serve stores weren't always a thing! Please take a moment to chat with the friendly staff and browse the souvenirs and tchotchkes on the shelves. Leave a note, if you wish. And remember. This is Mississippi. Slow down and sit awhile. Sip on some PROPER Southern sweet tea and soak in the atmosphere. Don't just eat your chicken. Taste it. This is it. Love goes into every bite here. You cannot get any more authentic than this.

We walked in not knowing what to expect. It definitely had the feel of an old country store. The man who greeted us was so kind and welcoming. We were directed to wash our hands (which was a great requirement considering the buffet style). We both grabbed a plate and had almost everything on the buffet. The turnip and mustard greens were great! The potato salad was awesome and the candied yams were so flavorful. But the best thing here by far was the fried chicken and the blackberry cobbler. The chef himself will come out and sing to his guests! It's amazing. People from all over the world stop by. If you are passing through it's a must stop!

I used to walk with my cousins to this store whenever we were visiting family in Washington, Mississippi. No fried chicken then but lots of comic books. In a way it was our local library. We stopped there a few years ago while passing by and the home style buffet with the fried chicken was delicious. Met the owner and reminisced for a while. He's very pleasant and gracious. Please do yourself a favor and put this place on your list of future visits.

Admittedly, this review comes a few years after my visit to this place during a road trip. I only realized that I'd not posted the review because I found some notes that weren't yet checked off my to-do list. From my notes: Golden crisp fried chicken with a luscious interior. Excellent flavor inside and out. Perhaps "some of the best fried chicken I've ever eaten." Sides are equally delicious, though "be careful next time to not fill up on the field peas and rice." Atmosphere feels like a flea market ... middle of nowhere ... definitely a "destination worth the drive." Owner/manager "seems to care that his patrons are getting their fill." From my memory: I wish that I'd had multiple stomachs. The chicken here rivaled anything that I'd ever eaten, and I'm a southern guy who grew up on some dang good yardbird. The sides here are as southern as southern gets -- field peas, okra and tomatoes, mac & cheese -- all divine, but nothing compared with the main. Bottom line: I wish I lived closer, but it's probably a good thing that I don't. I recommend this place wholeheartedly. It might just be the best fried chicken in the country.
