Old Country Store is worth the 100+ miles we traveled to get to it. Everything is delicious and well-prepared. "Mr. D," as he is affectionately known, is a gracious host. He really loves to sing about his grandmother; he sang several times while we were there.
His chicken truly is flavorful. It is the second best I have ever had. The taste is unique, not overly seasoned. It is crispy outside and moist and juicy inside. I can't see why he doesn't travel and promote his bird to many convenience stores like the Hunts Pizza people did. He could probably patent his recipe and preparation.
My wife and I actually joked about relocating to Port Gibson, MS just to be closer to the "Best Fried Chicken" ever. Continued success Mr. D.
Overall: Worth driving from anyplace

"Good Southern country cooking."

"Don't expect an oversized buffet, but if you prefer quality over quantity, this is the place. Owner Arthur Davis told me, "Don't feel sorry for the cook. Make sure you get enough.""

"Just when I thought this place couldn't get any more quirky and fun, owner "Mr D" serenaded me with a song apparently called, Grammy Was a Cornbread Woman."

"In true Mississippi grocery/restaurant tradition, little has been done to alter the appearance of Old Country Store."
