You are seated near the back of the restaurant. You have come, crossing roads tangled by more than just poor signage and the occasional appearance of a sluggish tractor whose operator, wearing the inevitable meshbacked trucker hat and wildlife-patterned cargo pants, is clearly unaware that this is the 21st century and roads are primarily intended for passenger cars (a fact that, in rural Mississippi, it is easy to bemoan as the driver, shaking the uncooperative GPS device frantically as if the physical motion will convince it of the direness of the situation, curses their foreclosure from the world of leisurely strolls down unpaved routes, ideally fanning oneself idly with a straw hat and ta...
The group I was with stumbled upon this place by accident. Wow we found real southern comfort food after quite a wait! Love all the yummy fried food that I indulged in! The catfish was recommended by other customers and it did not disappoint! I don't think I've had catfish before so I'm so glad I tried it. The boneless buffalo wings tasted like standard restaurant fare. Cajun pork chops were tasty. The service was okay. The feel of the place was fun and unusual. How did we end up spending over $200?! We were also told the place is crazy during certain times of the year graduation/football games
While the ambiance may have a quirky charm, I can find comparable experiences at Disney, complete with excellent service. The food here was disappointing; I had a gumbo that was unappetizing and slimy, almost like something you'd feed to pigs. The other dishes tasted like they were fried in old oil.
I want to spread the word about this experience so that others are aware. It’s time to let this place fade into the past where it belongs. It's truly a shame.
First, this business is not in Oxford, Ms. It is Taylor,Ms (4-A Depot St Taylor, MS 38673) or you could even argue the point that it is in Water Valley. With that said.. The Old Taylor grocery is an authentic Mississippi country eatery. The food is spot on, and although the pricing is a bit high in my opinion, it is well worth the effort to get there and pay the fare..

Oh my goodness, this is my favorite restaurant! From the very first time I visited, I fell in love with their fish—it's the best I've ever had, and I absolutely love fish. It's always cooked just the way I like it, and I've never left feeling disappointed. I really wish I had a plate of it right now! Please keep frying that fish, or I might just starve, haha!
What a fascinating place! It was extremely crowded, and we had to wait nearly two hours for a table, which really shows how popular this restaurant is. The only downside is that they don’t serve alcohol unless you bring your own.
This is an excellent place for catfish and hush puppies. I've sampled both the fillets and the bone-in catfish, and both are exceptional. The sides are tasty, too. My wife gets the grilled chicken and says it's very good as well.
This restaurant was amazing! Kay, you were a fantastic server, and we had such a wonderful time! Philly represents!! I can’t wait to return to Taylor Grocery in Oxford, Mississippi!

Worst place I've ever been too. So rude and food was not good. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. They all need attitude checks.
The food is delicious, the prices are reasonable, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere is charming.
