This is one of those places that unless you are a local, or adventurous... you'll never know.
If you are looking for a good cheap lunch? This is the place. I didn't know how much or a role tamales played in this part of the south. But here they are.
What to get? It's in the name... Tamales. I got the fiesta which is like a trash can lid of tamales. For $8.50??? I'll do that again and again. Nothing super special about the tamales, other than they are tamales and tamales are good.

Plus as one of the other reviews said - everyone was friendly and talkative. Of course it was the middle of the afternoon and there were no other customers - so...

My family has been buying Solly's Hot Tamales since I was little, and even before then. Whenever we would come down to visit relatives at least twice a year since the late 1960's/early 70's. We always had to stop by this little old mans push-cart that he would set up next to one of the highways. Both, while we were here, as well as on our way out of town so we could be sure to have enough for a special occasion back home. I haven't been back to Vicksburg since the mid 1980's. But now I'm finally back to visit family here, and I am so happy to hear that Solly's is still around and now has a brick and mortar location! I will definitely be stopping by to pick up a couple of dozen Screamin Hot Tamales for my...
