Hooker Grocer & Eatery — Restaurant in Clarksdale

Was told music would be outside and we wanted to sit inside. They had a party inside so we sat outside. No issue. Summer took care of us and did a good job. She had help from another waitress who was also attentive. We ordered the meatballs app. Came with 3 meatballs, quite good and one small piece of bread. For the cost, I felt the bread should have matched and been served with three pieces. The cost would be nominal and the presentation would be symmetrical and pleasing to the eye. Also, if the wife gets greedy with the bread, there is still enough to be enjoyed. Main courses were rib eye for my wife and wedge for me. I ate most of the meatballs minus the bread. Refer to greedy wife. Wedge was absurdly small. 1/8 a head of lettuce. Plating looked good but they use ground pepper on the plate for appearance. Hate to tell you but it does effect taste. Way too much pepper. The blue cheese dressing was lack luster and I believe they gave me the ranch option as I didn't taste any blue. On to the steak, taste was amazing, plating was good, potato was awesome but they served the sour cream in a 2 ounce souffle cup which really cheapened the dish. The beans were interesting, not in the negative. I was concerned about the seasoning choices of toasted sesame seeds, garlic and sea salt, WOW. That was a show stopper. Really tasty. They looked overcooked but I assure you, they were perfect. The steak was a bit rare for us and we sent it back. When it came back to the table it...

Not at all what I expected. So many people claim about how good the food and service is, but unfortunately, my mother and I did not experience this.

Food was cold and bland. The spinach dip was the only thing that was served hot...still bland though. Server was nice, but very forgetful and it took FOREVER to place a drink order and receive our food.

It will be a LOOOOONNNNNGGGHHH time before I go...

This place is great! Super warm atmosphere, big smiles when I walked in. Clean and great decor! I have to say that the music playing over the speaker really added an amazing Vibe ( I love Erykah Badu)! Salad wjas amazing one of the best tasting ranch dressings I've ever had! I searched Google for a good Ribeye steak in Clarksdale and finally found this actual gem! Delicious every single bite...
