Blue Canoe

THIS PLACE ROCKS ! Quit eating to live, and live to EAT !!! The Canoe has the most unique cuisine around, period. The beer selection is GRAND. The music is EPIC ! Just drop what you're doing, and get in the CANOE !!!

DO NOT GO! Period!

The service here is the absolute worse!!! No attention...rude...disrespectful. They treat you like you should be honored to be there and just be glad with someone showing you a bit of attention.

The menu is very limited.

If your a beer drinker then you'll like the selection but it definitely doesn't make up for being treated the way they treat you.

There's dozens of other great places to eat in Tupelo. Save your money and go to them. You'll be happy you did!

Our party of 3 arrive about 7:00 pm on a Saturday evening. No one greeted or welcomed us at the door and no sign indicated we should seat ourselves. Apparently, you stand around watching others eat until  a party vacates a table and you then seat yourself and wait for the table to be bused. After a while a waitress appeared and sat at the table and asked what we wanted to drink...but no drink menu only some chalkboards with some available beers.

After taking our order (an appetizer, fried black-eyed peas, and entrees, 2 hamburgers and one muffaletta),  the waitress disappeared for about 10 minutes and upon returning said, "We can't do anything with chicken tonight." I think she meant the chef failed to order any chicken earlier in the day for prep and cooking later in the day.

After about 20 minutes our waitress returned and advised that our meal would be arriving soon but the appetizer was not included with our original order (she did not write anything down, so I suppose she forgot to order) but it would be out later.

After meal finally arrived, we were sorely disappointed. The hamburger meat was mushy. The french fries were apparently old since they were chewy. The muffaletta was a pile of meat with cold cheese on top...not any resemblance to a real muffaletta.

About halfway through our meal, the appetizer appeared in a hot pint-sized jar (no warning the jar was hot). The fried black-eyed peas were tasteless being overpowered by bay seasoning and heavy fried flour crust. A real waste.

So, poor dinning room management, bad wait staff service, poorly managed kitchen, bad recipes, but I guess the beer selection is okay if you have never been in a bar outside of Mississippi, but no one in our party cared to order a beer.
