CLUB AND RESTAURANT
little something on the side, The Smokestack Lighting Nachos are over the top amazing. House kettle chips are nestled under a pile of house smoked pulled pork or chicken and then topped with everything from pickled onions and queso to a secret recipe Jim Bean Devil’s Cut BBQ sauce. This sauce is also featured on the chicken wings and I challenge you to find better wings anywhere.
The Catfish Plate and the Crossroads Club tied for my faves. Featuring Mississippi farm-raised fresh catfish, the Catfish Plate gives that perfect home-cooked vibe. But if
you follow my reviews at all, you know I have a deep love for fried bologna. The Crossroads Clubs subs out the ham for
a thick-cut slice of fried bologna and just the right amount
of pimento cheese. So, so good. Still, a customer favorite is definitely the Delta Coast Blues Burger, which pairs a ground chuck brisket patty with blueberry-infused pork belly, then tops it all off with blackened shrimp slaw. It’s one of those burgers you have to try to fully get it. Round out your meal with banana pudding or Maggie’s Cheesecake and you’ve basically experienced a meal fit for a king.
Ground Zero is one of those enchanted places that transports its patrons to somewhere other worldly. All ages are welcome any time, making this a great place to take
the family for a fun meal. Ground Zero welcomes the opportunity to host private events, both big and small. I’m in absolute love with everything about Ground Zero and after one trip, you will be, too.
So, the next time you find yourself at a crossroads, hopefully, you won’t need a deal with the devil to help you along your way. Ground Zero Blues Club is the obvious choice for a little music, delicious food, and just the right amount of magic.
