Just recently moved to the Mississippi Delta

Just this week I have moved by back to my families neck of the woods in the Mississippi Delta. Though some may say its a shite hole and has become a total wasteland, I have a weird sense of pride for the place, I honestly believe its in my DNA. My question is for suggestions on restraunts, night life, anything that would be of entertainment.

I would be interested to hear specifics about the "pride for the place."

I'm from the Delta and agree that the place gets in your blood. I love the place and love going back home but only for a few days at a time. Depending on the town, there isn't much of a nightlife. In my hometown there are 3 bars Worth going to, loads of back roads, and family land.

I'm from the Delta and idk how anybody can deny that it fricking sucks. Moving back here for work was one of the saddest days of my life.

Whereabouts in the Delta?
I've spent some time in Greenwood and while I can't speak for "nightlife" they have some good restaurants with Giardinas (my favorite), Luscos, and the Crystal Grill.

It's definitely a different way of life. I had some pretty big culture shock the first time I came down, but it does grow on you. Sometimes it's nice to get out of the rush of city life where everybody is in such a damn hurry all the time.

Blues - Ground Zero in Clarksdale, Blue Front Café in Bentonia. Walnut Street Blues Club in Greenville. Po Monkey's in Merigold.
Greenwood - Giardina's, Lusco's, Crystal Grill
Coleman's BBQ in Hernando, MS
Zero Nightlife that you don't make for yourself.

Night life is non-existent for the most part unless you go to some bars like Webster's in Greenwood. Cleveland would be your best bet for some night life since it's a college town.
As far as restaurants go, there are a decent amount of good places to eat. Greenwood has the Crystal Grill and Lusco's. Giardina's is ok but their quality IMO has gone down a bit in the last few years. Pea Soups in Indianola is pretty good. If you're looking for pizza then The Lost Pizza Co. is where I would go.
Abe's BBQ in Clarksdale is pretty legit but I haven't eaten there in almost 4-5 years.
Best steak in the entire Delta (hell, probably all of Mississippi) is at Doe's in Greenville. It's in a shady part of town but I've never had any issues getting there or leaving.

I have been to every single one of these places multiple times. I guess I was fishing for something I hadn't heard of.

I don't believe you can quite count Bentonia or Hernando as the Delta. That's like including Vicksburg and Carrolton and even though they are close, they are not Delta.

I actually see it as a blessing, thanks though.

Indianola:
Nola's - only do dinner
The Blue Biscuit - lunch and dinner
The Crown - only lunch
Greenville:
Doe's - dinner; pretty pricey
Drew:
Can't remember the name. I think it's called Main Street Restraunt. It's really good.
Ruleville:
1908 or 1938. Can't remember which. Good but a little pricey.

Delta Bistro Pub and Serios are newer restaurant/bars in Greenwood. I've enjoyed both the few times I've been.

I pretty much live there during duck season but we're usually gassed after a days hunt that all we care about is getting a pizza from the Dollar General.

Doe's is the only place I've eaten down there that sticks in my memory. I'd definitely eat there again even though it's location is somewhat less than desirable.

The delta is an interesting place. My grandparents live in between Yazoo City/Satartia and Vicksburg. I don't think I could ever live there but I love visiting. Something about sitting on 500+ acres that has it's appeal

The delta is littered with several neat little mom & pop eateries and dives. It's an unappealing place to most, yet draws tourism. It's quite a different place.

Shaw has some good dove fields from what I've heard rabble.
