But there’s more to the historic home than its impressive size. There’s also the fact that its grounds include one of Natchez’s oldest eateries, The Carriage House Restaurant.

The cozy interior is often filled with a mix of locals and tourists. Though, it’s not the comfy dining area that draws people to the eatery.

The Carriage House Restaurant is famous for its tasty southern fare, especially its fried chicken.

Expertly seasoned and fried to perfection, the chicken is often referred to as the best in the state.

Fried chicken isn’t the restaurant’s only specialty, though. There’s also its baby buttered biscuits, which are a customer favorite.

In addition to southern comfort food, the menu features fresh Gulf seafood, soups, salads, sandwiches, and burgers.

Weekly specials, like fried chicken and waffles topped with praline bacon, only add to the mouthwatering options.

The desserts are just as tantalizing as the rest of the fare….and just as southern. Bread pudding, praline ice cream, and peach cobbler are just the beginning of the sweet selection.

While dining at The Carriage House Restaurant, your eyes are sure to be drawn to the big bay window, which offers a close up view of Stanton Hall. However, that’s not your only chance to see the stunning mansion.
