City Grocery isn’t simply a restaurant. It’s where celebrations begin, and long conversations stretch past closing time, where locals sit beside visitors, and nobody feels out of place.
There are restaurants you visit. And there are restaurants that become part of your story.
For me, City Grocery in Oxford is exactly that place.

Roger Wicker, this state’s senior member of the U.S. Senate, is suddenly a hero to many Mississippians for his tough stance against an ICE detention center that a federal agency had proposed for the hamlet of Byhalia in the state’s northeast corner.
I agree that Sen. Wicker deserves a round of thanks.
The Republican lashed out against the Trump administration’s proposal to create the facility, and they have pretty much since shelved the idea.
Minds can change, but it seems final for now that the facility will go elsewhere. Godspeed! Watch that swingin’ door behind you.
