COZETTE'S — Restaurant in Quitman

In the quaint town of Quitman, amidst the verdant embrace of Mississippi, there lies a culinary haven known as Cozette's—a place where the echoes of tradition blend with the whispers of southern hospitality. As I pen this review, I am reminded of the gothic romanticism of Mary Shelley's prose, which so eloquently captures the essence of the sublime.

Cozette's, much like the lab of Victor Frankenstein, is a place of creation and wonder. The chefs, akin to alchemists, blend ingredients with a dash of love, crafting dishes that not only satiate the hunger but also the soul. The ambiance, a harmonious blend of the old and the new, invites patrons into a warm embrace, reminiscent of a time when dining was an experience rather than a mere necessity.

The staff, with their attentive and friendly demeanor, are the very embodiment of the novel's Elizabeth Lavenza—graceful, kind, and ever so welcoming. Each dish served is a testament to their dedication, a narrative of flavors that tells a story as rich and complex as Shelley's own "Frankenstein."

The tender baked chicken, a masterpiece of simplicity, is cooked to such perfection that one might compare it to the Creature's first innocent breath—a revelation of life's potential. The grandma's mac and cheese, a dish so comforting, it could soothe even the tormented soul of the Creature, wandering the icy wastelands in search of warmth.

Yet, no establishment is without its flaws, much like the tragic hero of Shelley's tale. While the offerings are delectable, there are moments when one yearns for a touch more—a spice, a garnish, perhaps a twist of culinary innovation to elevate the experience from the earthly to the ethereal.

In conclusion, Cozette's deserves a commendation of four stars, a beacon of culinary delight that, while not without room for growth, provides a repast worthy of the most discerning of palates. It stands as a testament to the beauty of southern cooking, a place where each meal is a narrative, each bite a verse in the poetry...

Cozette's is DEFINITELY a Call-Ahead, takeout diner. Menu is limited to what you would see at other places. I didn't see anything on the menu OR OFFERED anything on the menu that would set them apart. Burgers, chicken, catfish, etc. The dish that caught my eye was the: Philly Cheese Steak. I've eaten these all over the U.S. - including Philadelphia. There WAS ONLY two customers sitting at a table WAITING for their order. One walked in behind me to dine in & two came in to pickup a call in. It was clear to see there was just ONE cook working in a " stay out of my kitchen " atmosphere. After 15 minutes, I finally got my order to go. When I got home & opened the container there was a copious amount of crinkled fries partially hiding my Philly cheese steak. It WAS slightly on the smaller size & had NO extra ingredients you usually see on a Philly. But the bun was moist & the cheese steak was pleasant. Nothing unpleasant about the dish. So UNLESS you have and NEED someplace to kill time, COZETTE'S IS a CALL AHEAD,...
