When it comes to old-school restaurants, Walnut Hills fits the bill. Not only is the eatery housed in a historic building, but it serves up a slew of southern classics, including some of the best fried chicken in the state, possibly the world. You even have the option to enjoy your food à la carte or round table-style. The latter definitely makes for a unique (and old-fashioned) dining experience. Take a look:
This is Walnut Hills. It’s located in Vicksburg in a historic home that dates back to 1880.

In addition to being referred to as the “world’s best,” the perfectly fried chicken has won countless awards and been featured in numerous publications, including Southern Living and Good Morning America.

So, what makes the chicken so good? It probably has something to do with the cayenne-laced batter.

There’s also the fact that it’s been made the same exact way for decades, resulting in consistent deliciousness.

Remember, even though Walnut Hills is known for its round table service, you can always opt to order from the menu. Either way, your fried chicken will be joined by home-cooked sides that are sure to hit the spot.

Fried chicken and great sides aren’t all you’ll find on the menu, though. There’s also catfish, po’ boys, steaks, and award-winning desserts.
