Old Country Store. Lorman MS

Well now… looks like the Colonel himself has officially passed the crown.

To all my faithful friends, hungry travelers, and chicken lovers far and wide — THE KING IS BACK.

That’s right. After a little time away from this here page (some folks thought I vanished into a cloud of biscuit flour), I’m here to say: we’re still here, still cookin’, and still servin’ up the best fried chicken this side of Heaven.

If you tried to message or reach out and never heard back — don’t take it personal. The inbox got dusty, just like the top shelf of my spice rack. Try again. I’m all ears now.

We’ve seen a lot come and go over the years, but one thing hasn’t changed: when you walk through that door in Lorman, you’re family. Young folks, old folks, road trippers, college kids, blues men, church ladies, fried chicken fanatics — you’re all welcome. Always have been.

And judging by that painting, it’s official now: even the Colonel had to tip his hat.

Come on by. Let’s get reacquainted.

📣 Attention loyal customers of The Old Country Store! 📣

We wanted to take a moment amidst the excitement and attention our beloved restaurant has garnered to reflect on the true meaning of this Memorial Day. As people travel from far and wide to savor "Mr D's" Heavenly Fried Chicken, we must pause and remember all those who made the ultimate sacrifice, ensuring our freedom in the United States of America.

Today, as we gather with friends and family to enjoy a day of remembrance, let us honor the brave men and women who have served our country. It is because of their selflessness that we can relish the simple pleasures of life, such as a delightful meal at our establishment.

We are truly grateful for the overwhelming support and recognition we have received, making us a sought-after tourist attraction. We appreciate your patience during this busy time as we work hard to accommodate all our guests.

For those who prefer not to cook on this special day, we want to remind you that we are open today! Come join us for our all-you-can-eat lunch buffet, served seven days a week. Indulge in our famous fried chicken, along with other delectable meats like catfish and ribs. Our buffet also features a variety of mouthwatering sides, including tossed salad, cucumber/tomato salad, potato salad, coleslaw, mac & cheese, corn on the cob, green beans, turnip greens, dirty rice, sweet potatoes, dressing, and of course, cornbread. And while you enjoy your meal, let owner Arthur Davis ("Mr D") serenade you with a heartfelt song about his Grand Mama's cornbread.

Today, on Memorial Day, we will be open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., ready to serve you with warm Southern hospitality. We look forward to seeing you and sharing this meaningful day together.

Wishing everyone a day filled with gratitude, remembrance, and the joy of good food.

Same seasoning used to cook "The best fried chicken in the world" by Mr D. Perfect for use with just about everything. Frying chicken, baking chicken, great as a rub for beef and pork. Can literally replace any current seasoning you are using now. Great substitute for salt in most recipes and a dash...
