Mississippi Nights - Hamilton (IL)

5 /5 Anthony Franklin: When we started out, we just wanted good food. We decided to use Google to see what looked good. Well, we were about to get a surprise. We saw the sign out front that had two specials. (Fish with two sides or shrimp) The menu choices were straightforward. Which means there is nowhere to hide. Its got to be on point. It definitely was. We started with our drinks. Then, an appetizer of fried cauliflower. They had an appetizer on the menu called "pig tails"- fried breaded pork tenderloin strips. They unfortunately were out due to their popularity. The catfish, baked beans, and fries were so delicious. The service was stellar. Even with a fairly large number of people. The bartender and waitress handled it like pros. Our drinks were on the table in less than five minutes. The service was as good as the food. The atmosphere was eclectic. Its a mix of a variety of things that seemingly work when its all put together. There are a few things that youll want to know. They cash only. The ATM charges $3.00 per transaction. The video games are for adults only and thats 21 or older. They had green lights as they were preparing for St. Patricks day.

4 /5 Heather Morgan: Amazing homemade specials or typical bar food. It is a small town bar, and pretty much what you would expect. Service is simply adequate.

2 /5 Larry Weber: Marginal food, service was ok, dirty venue. Felt uncomfortable while there.

1 /5 Jessie Sorensen: Was in town for geode fest Had pizza was not that good for what we paid drinks were meh for the price also.

4 /5 Holly Lewis: This bar is part of Hamiltons downtown history now for 30 years!! Whitey and Cindy Walker opened this bar/pool hall crea ting an avenue for fun nights, teen dates , and a place in the community for old and new friends to meet. The food served nightly can be found on the menu, including the weekly specialty suppers offered. I recommend the fried chicken!
