Council House Cafe

The roast beef sandwich was waay better than I was expecting for the middle of  nowhere. They have this homemade honey mustard sauce that is very unique, never had anything like it.

Great stop on the Natchez Trace. My favorite is the club sandwich with the Mississippi Mud Pie for desert.

In case you didn't get the memo, Council House Cafe in French Camp, MS is a required stop for anyone who travels up and down the Natchez Trace.

80 miles north of Jackson, MS, just off the beautiful Natchez Trace Parkway, located in a charming log cabin with a deck overlooking the woods, this little cafe is an absolute gem.

Their menu is simple and they do it well.

Their bread, white and sorghum wheat, is made in house, so are their soups.

The potato soup, not too thick, not too runny, not too rich, was probably the best potato soup I've ever had, even without bacon pieces. The chili was seasoned perfectly. The Cajun Roast Beef Sandwich was simply delicious. I am not sure if it was the food or something in the air that gave me a sense of euphoria.

Our sweet waitress left a giant pitcher of ice tea on our outdoor table after my husband ordered tea, which he initially thought was a special treatment for him, until we noticed every table got its own pitcher. That's just how they roll.

Council House Cafe, French Camp, Natchez Trace. Just go.
