Any suggestions? John T. Edge is outta town, or I'd ask him. Even a lunch counter is fine, long as the food's good (travelin' on a budget!)

thanks in advance. I leave Wednesday morn.

new here so not certain of procedure but will dive right in.....

The Beacon on N. Lamar St is just off the square and was meat & three type that was pretty good & prob just what you want.
For some reason chicken tenders are considered haute cuisine in & around Oxford. One of the better places, & we laughed when they sent us there, is the "Chevron Food Mart", yes I said, Chevron Food Mart. The chicken was not bad at all & is made in a small kitchen in the back of the place. It is right off the square by a block.

Another place that was recommended to us for catfish is Wall Doxey State Park. They have a dining room & half the community shows up for the catfish dinner buffet on Friday nights. It was, surprisingly, pretty good catfish & hushpuppies. The other side items were very average.

I gotta try the Chevron just out of curiousity. I'll report back on Sunday.

If it isn't too late: Fried pickles at the Ajax, and the duck hash at Yocanna River Inn.

Let's take another run at this one.

I have to go through Oxford at the end of next week and I am going to be going back in October for the SFA. I could do a little scouting for the October trip if some of you could advise a hungry traveler.

I'd second the Yocanna River Inn. Especially if you get really lucky and they have the duck hash.
