The Gemstone

"Ate lunch and it was fantastic. I had the hot ham and cheese with fries. Best I’ve ever ate."

"Great little place with tons of atmosphere and coolness. Food was great."

"The food and service were great, and the amount of food you get is great - but not at this price. You're paying as much as you would at Mt. Fuji or Nautical Whimsy in Tupelo, but without their huge serving sizes. The amount of food you get from the appetizers is especially small for the price. I love seeing new locally-owned restaurants opening in Amory, but I worry that this one is out-pricing the area."

"It's a bar, slow table service. Most food was good. High top tables suck for eating food when your feet can't reach the ground. Asparagus was burnt. Steak was small for the money, dinner for 4 without any booze drinks was 132.xx not including tip. So the wings were great but very small, but came with a big price of 18 for 12 tiny wings. Biscuits and salads were tiny. The server wasn't even experienced enough to know to bring the cold salads way before, and not at the same time as the main entree. So here you get fine dinning prices with dive bar service. Bad value all around."

"So, I am actually on the road more than I'm home and I always ask my clients, 'What's a great local place to eat?' The Gemstone is probably now in my top two picks of places to stop. The food was amazing, very reasonably priced, and the real gem was our server. She had personality for days and was right on top of things. I think her name was Dee Dee and she was 'cold' (inside joke). The restaurant wasn't cold, it was amazing!"
