“ Ratliff is a fun place to bring your family, eat enjoy music or watch some football. ”
“ We were just traveling through back to NJ and found this place along the way. We love off-the-beaten path places and spend a lot of time eating where the locals eat. Imagine our surprise when we found this quaint little eatery in MS that ended up being the highlight of our 3,000 mile drive! The atmosphere is just what you’d expect from a little riverside and grill. Great outdoor eating deck with plenty of room for everyone. We lucked out and it was karaoke with one of the most gracious DJs we’ve met. He sang some classic Jimmy Buffet songs and then invited our daughter (6 years old) to share the spotlight. She chose her favorite song (Ride by 21 Pilots) but froze up a few lyrics in and let the stage. Everyone in the place cheered for her and encouraged her to try again. He stepped down and asked her if she wanted to try again. She agreed with the encouragement of her big sister (11 years old) and they rocked out some Moana and Katy Perry! Everyone cheered and we felt right at home. One couple even talked us about their own amazing daughter and her karaoke experience there and we linked up on Facebook! The people in this place are the best you’ll find anywhere! If you are anywhere near this area, please stop in and give them some love. Unfortunately, the pulled pork wasn’t ready tonight but we had the chicken sandwich, fried pickles, fried okra, lemon pepper chicken wings, and chicken quesadilla. Everything was good. We had no complaints on the food or service. They were very attentive and showed wonderful hospitality. I wish we didn’t have to make it to Tuscaloosa tonight because I would have set up the camper in the parking lot and stayed much longer! Truly a diamond in the rough. Thank you to the staff and the wonderful patrons of Ratliff Ferry for giving our family a core memory we will never forget. 3 ”
