It may not be on your direct route to Jackson, but this new coffee shop is well worth the detour. Mulvi's Coffee Co. is owned and operated by some close friends of ours, so when you stop in they'll treat you like family and whip you up a Brown Sugar Cinnamon Latte for the road.
Cathead Distillery is becoming more and more of a destination in Mississippi. Founded in 2006, Cathead is the first and oldest distillery in MS. They are the proud makers of Cathead Vodka and Old Soul Bourbon Whiskey, a favorite of the groom's. You can schedule tours and tastings, or you can head there for public hours to hang out and play games. Public hours are dog and kid friendly!
Walker's Drive In is a culinary gem in the heart of Fondren. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but we highly recommend the filet and the Redfish Anna for dinner. If you're having trouble finding it, just look for it's classic neon sign. Walker's is a favorite among locals, so be sure to call ahead for a reservation during the holidays!
