Abbay’s

Sorry — if this is the way the South does Fast Food — I’m not interested. For starters — if you don’t know about the menu — the girl taking my order wasn’t helpful at all. It took far too long to figure it out when you are not use to this sort of menu at all and your order taker doesn’t know how to explain at all.
I finally settled on the meatloaf mash potatoes and corn — with corn bread and pecan pie! This is normally my favorite meal!
Let me start with what was good — though the meatloaf didn’t look the best — it tasted great! Though the mash potatoes and gravy looked fake — they were indeed real and again very tasty! The corn, which is a mix of whole kernel and creamed corn — it was good — but not very sweet!
Now for the truly horrible and disappointing: the corn bread was about as dry as dry can be — you’d think being in the South they’d know how to get this right, But the very worst part was the freaking Pecan Pie — WHAT! How can I be in the south and get a bad piece of pecan pie??? I swear it must have been shipped down here from the north as it was rejected there!
Even the cleanliness of the place and the dying plants couldn’t help bring this to above 2 stars. The saving grace was the taste of some of the food and perhaps the price was good.
Having said all that and giving this place 2 stars — I’ve been to much more expensive places that didn’t compare to this place, so I’d certainly check it out, but skip the pie and the corn bread for sure!

When it comes to a good «home cooked meal» away from home this is one of the best I’ve found. The hamburger steak with gravy is usually my choice double meat of course mashed potatoes and the Mac and cheese. The drive through is just as efficient as any other chain restaurant if not better and I recommend anyone looking for a good meal with good taste to stop by here.

I just don’t know how this place hasn’t taken off. My family is always complaining that most fast food consists of either burgers, fried chicken or pizza, but we love country food as well. This is fast food’s answer to that. It’s a fast casual dining place that specializes in grandma’s recipes. And it doesn’t disappoint. All of the menu items are well proportioned and delicious; just pick your favorites and there are many to choose from. The prices are very reasonable and service is quick, so there’s no reason to not go to this place. It’s just simply amazing. Cracker Barrel is always packed, but this place has better food at lower prices and you get served more quickly. It’s that simple; this place is far better.

Abbay’s is always an easy go to restaurant. The food is always good and so is the service. My kids love this place. Keep up the good work!

Found Abbays while looking for some good southern food and was very impressed. Had the country fried steak, Lima beans, black eyed peas and cornbread. Delicious! And inexpensive too! Staff was very friendly and the restaurant was very clean. I will definitely come back if I’m in the area again.

The Fried fish was good, corn bread nothing to rave about. My husband liked the green beans but we didn’t finish the fried broccoli, it wasn’t fresh and very hard to chew. The place itself was very clean and good customer service.

First time eating here and we will come back! Super fast service and the food was amazing. Got baked fish, fried okra, and broccoli casserole. Classic southern comfort food done right.

Fried boneless chick breast was good hush puppies were small and hard, corn needed salt.
If you order anything with gravy make sure you ask for brown or white gravy, if you go through the drive through ask for napkins catchup, salt pepper etc. they only give you a fork and napkin nothing else.
Banana pudding wasn’t granny’s but it wasn’t gritty ether.

I love the sweet tea & vegetable soup, my husband loves the chicken & dumplings. The regular menu is a nice change from other fast foods but a bit heavy for me there wings are very good but not always available overall it’s a nice place with a friendly staff & the prices are very reasonable I prefer the Southaven one over the Olive Branch, I guess it the difference in the cooks & management but to me Southaven hands down

The food here is not horrible as the one poster described it. My coworkers and I ate here for the first time today, and we all agreed that the food was good. I ordered the fried catfish, and it was seasoned well, fried perfectly, and yet still moist. All of us tried the spicy fried broccoli, and it was very good as well. It will definitely clean out your sinuses! The meals are served with a very delicious honey roll. Despite it being fast food, it’s good food that in my opinion was better than most of your normal fast food fare. It’s definitely not healthy food, as almost everything is fried here, but it tastes good, and you get a lot for the money.
