Tallahatchie Gourmet

Our family has used Tallahatchie Gourmet Catering for years. They are as good as it gets.

I’m always on the fence about this place. Nothing really outstanding or terribly bad. Quality really seems to depend on the time you’re there and the dish you have. Service occasionally stellar, occasionally terrible. The stereotypical Southern foods (chicken, pork chops, chicken salad, etc.) have generally been decent. The fish and soups have tended to be bland for me.
I find their pricing a bit high for what you get. To me a $ 10 po-​boy is a half loaf of Gambino’s holding a double handful of seafood. Not a Kroger bun with 5 or 6 popcorn shrimp, a leaf of lettuce and one tomato slice halved.

Boring, boring food. We ordered salads with side of soup. The soup ended up being chicken gumbo. We expected a huge salad and a side cup of soup. Instead we got a small salad and a huge bowl of bland, uncooked rice gumbo, that had more rice than gumbo. I tried to put some hot sauce in it to have some type of creole/​Cajun flavor but it was no help at all. For someone who’s never eaten a bowl of real gumbo, this would be great. I work out of New Orleans so I’m a good judge. lol. Salad was ok, just tiny for $ 8.50. The menu said soup of the the day for 8.75 and $ 10.50 for gumbo. We asked for soup of the day but she said it was gumbo, and I asked if that was the soup of the day and she said yes. So I expected to pay $ 8.75. Instead, I was charged $ 10.50. Plus, one bowl of gumbo was cold and our rice was uncooked.
Don’t waste your time here. Not worth it. I gave it two stars because it was clean.

Southern Charm! Although the décor could use an update. I have eaten here a few times while in the area on business.
Food Review
Chicken Salad: Homemade, creamy, delicious, no fruit; so it’s more savory in flavor. They will toast white or wheat bread for you. If you get it to go, you get a marshmallow chocolate brownie & chips. The brownie is delicious.
Grilled Fish Tacos: absolutely divine! The fish is blackened & moist, not fishy & the sauce served with it compliments the fish perfectly.
Blackened Basa with Grits: melt in your mouth – Delicious!!! Served with side salad, spinach, & a dinner roll. (I’m not sure if the quanity was worth $ 15.50!)
Service Review
Southern charm at its finest! Plenty of «Hi ya’ll» & «Ya’ll come back!» But then again, what would you expect from New Albany, MS? Very friendly, very laid back, very knowledgable about the menu, & very attentive to meeting the customers requests!
I will definitely return many times to dine here!
