The Ville

"The Ville is the only downtown restaurant in what remains of the once-booming small town of Coffeeville, Mississippi, which now appears abandoned and run-down. I had not been back to Coffeeville for over 40 years, when an aunt owned the old Coffeeville Hotel on Front Street which tragically was torn down. And my grandfather lived on a large farm nine miles away from the town, and now a road is named after him. Coffeeville was then a charming place with many shops, a supermarket and an old movie theater. I’m pleased that the Coffeeville Courier is still published each week. The Ville restaurant is not fancy, but you can sit and enjoy a wide variety of tasty home-cooked foods, deserts and something to drink. Unfortunately my brother and I could not eat at The Ville only because we were rushed to drive to Oxford. But we did take out two 32-ounce iced teas with lemon for $2.50 each. The Ville restaurant sells fried chicken, coleslaw, macaroni and cheese, pulled-pork, hamburgers and French fries, various sandwiches, sodas, pies, ice tea and coffee, but no beer or other alcoholic beverages. I thought the prices a bit high, but inflation has taken its toll everywhere, and I no longer live in the United States. Expect to see only a few people sitting at tables with plastic table cloths. Service is reasonably quick. Credit and debit cards are accepted. There is air-conditioning at The Ville. The restaurant closes at two o'clock and reopens at four o’clock."

"I don't know what I expected, but it was yet another greasy burger in another tiny town... the bbq was good, but the burger was dry. Tots were perfectly cooked, server was friendly and helpful. Probably the best place in the area, but I'm not from the area."

"Always a treat to come here. Food is always great. Service is wonderful. Worth the trip from anywhere (out waitress tonight was super helpful and running like crazy but took great care of us!!! Brought a group!"

"We went here for lunch with family that live nearby. Such a friendly place! I had the Hot Hollie Chicken sandwich and it was soo good! Very messy to eat, but yummy! My sister had a BLT and really enjoyed it! My brother in law ordered the chef salad and it was a really big portion filled with all kinds of goodness! My husband and brother both ordered patty melts and said they were very good! The food came quickly and piping hot! I wish I had taken some pictures but alas, I did not! The people that work here all seem to know my nephew, who they call " Little Ravioli " and my brother in law " Big Ravioli " so we were laughing about that. They were a fun bunch! Thanks for a good experience with yummy food and fun times with my family! We will have to come back next time we visit Coffeeville!"

"Customer service was great! They have a lot of options on their menu on the weekends. If you go on a weekday, there isn’t as much. I got their cheese sticks and Mac n cheese. It did not taste like it was made from scratch but still tasted alright. My husband got the bbq sandwich with Cole slaw and spicy fries. He says the sandwich was really good!"
