206 Hwy. 72 W, just past intersection of old 45 and 72 where truck
scales were once located. 286-6124
Mon-Fri, 6 a.m.-2 p.m.

Great breakfast spot for traditional breakfasts with eggs,
sausage, country ham, biscuits - always consistent, always good. Bacon
and biscuits are very good. Coffee is served in real china mugs and
the food on real plates- no styrofoam and plastic with breakfast in this
place- they deserve a 20-year rebate from the landfill. Hamburgers and
fries are equally popular at lunchtime. A true crossroads in Corinth-
rub elbows with professionals, business people, factory workers. There
are few pretentions in this place, just people serious about eating,
talking, and some catching the soaps on the TV at lunch. Great place to
catch up on anything going on in town- just ask Abe or Terri, odds are
they will already have heard about it and can give you the real low-down.
No beer served, soft drinks served in bottles.

Seafood buffet at $17.95 on Friday and Saturday nights is very
good and reportedly worth the tab. One of our health conscious gourmands

place or time your visits accordingly. Beer available.

connect the old with the new Catfish Hotel in your imagination. Still is
quite an atmospheric place with nice view of the Tennessee River and the
food is very good if catfish is your objective. Beer available.

A landmark in our area- Memphis people drive down just to eat
here. The best catfish in Corinth without a long drive to Pickwick along
with a varied menu to please everyone else in the crowd. Seafood buffet
at $14.95 on Friday and Saturday nights featuring crab legs and boiled
shrimp is very good and very popular. For big city folks who've forgotten
what the stars look like when you're away from the light pollution of urban
areas, check out the sky when leaving Chapman's if the weather is nice.
No beer served.

China Palace Restaurant $$

1801 S Harper Road, in shopping center next door to location of old

516 Fillmore St., located in old Whitfield Pharmacy Building,
across street from old Post Office. 287-8108
Mon-Fri 5:30 AM- 2 PM Sat 5:30 AM- 11 AM

you are on this side of town and it is open longer. No beer served.

Dilworth's Tamales $

Corner Wick & Taylor Streets, same corner on the South side of
the tracks where it's always been, branch location at intersection of old
45 and Hwy 72 across from site of old truck scales. No phone.
Mon-Sat 9 AM-10 PM, Sun 1 PM-9 PM

If you can still stand the hot spicy flavor, you can still get
tamales prepared just the way they were 30 years ago- except the tamale
ends are no longer tied with string, aluminum foil is used to insulate
and wrap the order instead of just paper, and they are no longer sold
from pushcarts on the streets. The only other change you'll notice
about Dilworth's is the drive-thru window- their own unique design and
an adventure in itself to navigate.

Hwy 45 N where old Boneyard Road runs into 45. 287-0942
Tue-Sat 10:30 AM-8:30 PM

Like many good diners, not much to look at from the outside, but
good barbeque served on the inside. Be aware that some of the people who
own expensive homes in this neighborhood get downright touchy when you
refer to Boneyard Road since it is now officially North Madison Street.
No beer served.

Golding & Fulton Drive, in industrial park at intersection where
Tyrone (now Dana) and old Wurlizer (now Leedo) plants are located. 287-3909
Mon-Fri 3 AM-3 PM

The slugburger place of choice for many of our classmates. Not
much to look at from the outside and off the beaten path in the industrial
park. It doesn't take an expert to figure out from the number of trucks
usually parked in their large parking area that this is a popular spot.

is fast and friendly. No beer served.

Farmington Rd., about 2 miles from city limits on right going
from town. 287-4123
Mon-Thur 9 AM-8:30 PM Fri-Sun 9 AM-9 PM

Good food, fast service- barbeque ribs are good. Hot tamales
are good but "different". Service is New York Deli style- place your
order at the window and seat yourself at tables in the restaurant. No
beer served.

Memphis. 286-6961

Mon-Thurs 4:30 pm-9 pm, Fri-Sat 4:30 pm-10 pm, Sun 11 am-9 pm

Good close-in place for catfish without a long drive from the
city. Catfish fillets and excellent hushpuppies are the ticket here and
highly recommended. The slaw is great but the salad bar could stand some
improvement. Sirloin steak for two is another good choice for those not
interested in fish. Since its opening, this restaurant has been steadily
improving. No beer served.

101 Hwy 72 E., on corner across from old cottonseed mill where Kroger
and K-Mart are now located. 286-5495

N Cass St., at South side of intersection of Hwy 72 and Cass St.
287-9809
Mon-Sat 10 AM- 10 PM Sun 1 PM- 10 PM

The art of shaving ice for snowcones seemed lost during the 70's
and 80's but now seems to have been rediscovered and to be enjoying a
revival. (Of course it should be when you're paying $1.00 for something
that we used to buy for a dime.) This is a spot for a popular treat on a
hot summer day and the selection of flavors and quality of the snowcones
are excellent.

Ole Country Steak & Fish $$

choice of two kinds of slaw. Very good reports on their mexican food also.
No beer served.

Omelet House $

1015 Hwy 72 W, across from Holiday Inn. 287-2815

Good breakfast, fast service- biggest virtue is that they are
open 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. Political talk is often in the air
here, particularly at the big table in the back corner as local
politicians frequent the restaurant most often on Saturday mornings. No
beer served.

Russell's Beef House Restaurant $$$

604 Hwy 72 E., next to Howell Lumber Company, same location as
old Cathy's Restaurant. 287-5150.
Mon-Sun 4:30 PM-10 PM

A great restaurant if you're looking for a steak- any of the
steaks are recommended. Steaks are the specialty of the house and the
only thing on this restaurant's menu. Most negative report we received
was from one class member who reports he thinks steaks are "too tender" at
times. French fries here vary from great to "world class" depending on
how busy the cooks get and how much attention they are devoting to the
fries. Extremely popular on the weekend, lines at the entrance are common
but usually move pretty quickly. Decor is pretty much country clutter-
quality of the food is the draw for locals and many out-of-towners as
well. No beer served.

3107 E. Shiloh Road, at intersection with Harper Road. 286-9028
Mon-Sun 6:30 AM-6:30 PM (may close earlier on Sundays)

2003 Shiloh Road, next to the Bowling Alley. 287-2299
Tues-Sat 11:00 AM-8:30 PM

During the era of fast and reliable train transportation,
Corinthians regularly enjoyed fresh Gulf Coast seafood. Since that
time, Corinthians have traveled to New Orleans or Mobile to experience
that forgotten luxury. Today, Chef Crest Wilson has returned
exceptionally prepared fresh Gulf Coast seafood to Corinth at down to
earth prices. Don't leave without trying the seafood gumbo - you may
search a long time and never find any better. Po-Boys are well done
with perfectly fried seafood. Everything here is in the food, don't
mind the decor. Very popular place, try it Tues-Thurs unless you
don't mind the Friday and Saturday crowds and traffic from cruisers on
Corinth's "strip". No beer served

Village Sandwich Shop $

Shiloh Road in shopping center at intersection with Harper Road.
287-6563

garment factory). 287-3360
Mon-Thu 10:30 AM-7 pm, Wed 10:30 am-4 pm, Fri-Sat 10:30 am- 9pm

For those who always thought the cut & string-tied ends were the
best part of Dilworth's tamales, Walker's still makes them that way.
Don't seem quite as spicy at times as Dilworth's but otherwise taste
almost identical.

White Trolley Cafe $

Hwy 72 E., across from Bonanza and field where WCMA radio tower
was located (now Kroger). 287-4593
Mon-Thur 4 AM-8 PM Fri-Sat 4 AM-9 PM

If you've forgotten what slugburgers were, this is the best
place in town to refresh your memory. This local delicacy is now
celebrated annually with a festival in its honor which was attended by an
estimated 40,000 people in 1992. In addition to slugburgers, the weekday
lunch plates with peas and cornbread are highly recommended. No beer
served.

Lake. 287-1168
Tue-Thur 11 AM-8:30 PM Fri-Sat 11 AM-9:30 PM Sun 12 AM-3 PM

If you have to have Chinese food while in Corinth, this may be
best place to try. Food and service can be quite variable. Beef with
broccoli suggested by more than one classmate. No beer served.
