The Crown Restaurant

Umm, so I’ve eaten here a couple of times in the past and recall leaving full and satisfied. However, things seemed to have changed on my most recent visit. We all ordered the Catfish Allison. It tasted fine, but I left hungry. The accompanying side salad was really good. I just wish I had more food overall. We did get complimentary bread, but that didn’t help much lol. Aside from the food, the server was pretty good and there’s a neat store inside as well. I just think we paid way too much for what we ate. There’s a dessert bar for an extra fee, but we decided not to because everyone serves themselves. It just didn’t seem like a sanitary situation.

Just off the banks of the Indian Bayou sits a must-stop on your trip to the Mississippi Delta. Whether you are just passing through or you are there following the Blues Trail on the way to the B.B King museum, The Crown in Indianola is sure to be a memorable stop. I was just lucky enough to catch them for lunch this visit. Of course I may be a little partial but the Catfish and Chicken Allison is as good as it's ever been, along with those special green beans and of course the bread plate that is passed around as well as the dessert table with so many kinds of fresh pies. Stopping in is always a favorite of mine on my trip home as well as the chat. #TheCrown #Indianola #indianolams #blues #bluestrail #hometown #msdelta

Save room for pie! The food was great. We both had catfish but two different dishes. Warm bread in pie slices constantly offered. Three different employees told us to make sure and try all the pies! $3.00 per person self service for the pies all you want to eat. We tried 5 different pie slices and all were great too!

The Catfish Florentine is amazing over rice. Vegetables fresh and wonderful. I love the house salad and the breads they offer. Bought the cookbook from gift shop and the owner and author of The Crown signed it for me. Looking forward to many good meals and if I’m ever back in the area will eat there again. Did I mention she makes the best pies!

We enjoyed our lunch which included sliced beef sandwich with potato salad, gumbo, Allison fish on a bed of rice, sooo good green beans, bread and a salad. The waitress was Super nice.
