Heart's Content Bed and Breakfast Innkeepers Recommendations

Christine’s Back Porch restaurant is exactly that. It gives you the southern feel of being at home and enjoying traditional soul food cooking. The restaurant is located in an antebellum style home that was built in 1838. The restaurant itself has been open for seven years. Besides the cozy decor, customers can enjoy the soft blues, jazz, gospel or classical music in the background. Christine’s also caters various events. Don’t forget to try her signature fried chicken.

Her hours are:  Mon.-Fri. 11 a.m.- 2:30 p.m.  and maybe Sun. 11 a.m.-2 p.m.

We love her food!

We have eaten here many times and highly recommend Two Rivers.  The restaurant is about a 10 minute drive from Heart’s Content Bed and Breakfast and all of our guests come back with rave reviews!

	The cedar plank Salmon with the fried green tomato Napoleon is to die for. I had the Mexican cornbread with shrimp as an appetizer, and I could have eaten this as my meal, I didn’t want to stop eat ting it. 5 stars!!!!

About a 15 minute drive west on Peace St. from Heart’s Content Bed and Breakfast in the Lake Caroline community is the Mermaid Cafe on the shores of the lake. We have eaten there a few times and it is great. The food is great, the service is great, and the atmosphere is great (it’s casual).

Appetizers run about $10 and are large enough for a couple to split.
Entrees average around $18 with everything a la carte.
The deserts are wonderful at around $5 each.

This restaurant is another of Nick Apostle’s creations. He also has Nick’s Restaurant in Jackson, MS.
