Food Scene
The flamboyant owner, Mercedes, is reason enough to go, but be sure to try the fried green tomato appetizer (we like it with tomato sauce, though it comes with a crawfish sauce). Check out hamburger night--great burgers with interesting toppings.

White tablecloth restaurant in downtown McComb. They're known for their steaks, but I usually get gumbo with a glass of red wine. Pricey but a nice setting.
