Ravine
About 3 miles outside the city, this unpretentious, cozily elegant restaurant nuzzles up to the forest. Chef Joel Miller picks and pulls much of the produce and herbs from his garden outside and buys locally and organically when he can. The result is simply wonderful food and a delicious experience. A BYOB rule was in place at the time of research, folks, but Ravine is negotiating its dry county's red tape. This lovely restaurant offers two B&B-style guest rooms above the restaurant and a cabin for those wanting a peaceful stay on Oxford's green fringes.

Walker's Drive-in
This truly outstanding restaurant calls itself a drive-in, but it's really a gussied-up diner that serves lusciously tweaked Southern staples. And it serves things like heavenly barbecued oysters dolloped with brie, and incredible fish dishes. The wine menu is good, service impeccable, and creativity turned-up.

Fondren Beverage Emporium
Children and sweet-toothed adults will turn cartwheels upon discovering the Fondren Beverage Emporium, an amazing shop specializing in rare soft drinks and strange candies. This is the place for gourmet lemonade, bacon-flavored breath mints, cucumber-flavored water and two coolers full of root beer.

Taylor Grocery
Be prepared to wait - and to tailgate in the parking lot - at this splendidly rusticated catfish haunt. You'll be glad you did. Get your cat fried or grilled, and bring a marker to sign your name on the wall. The joint is about 15 minutes' drive from downtown Oxford, south on Old Taylor Rd.

Mayflower
This is a Jackson tradition. The Southern fare is incredible. Try the red fish topped with broiled oysters. It's also famous for its come-back dressing, which is guaranteed to make you come back. Sources citywide say use the bathroom before you come.

Bottletree Bakery
Saucer-sized, sweet, sticky cinnamon rolls are the source of this bakery's acclaim. But it also has sandwiches, espresso drinks, and 'humble pie.'
