Things To Know About Dining With Us
Regular Reservations: We accept reservations a maximum of 30 days out. Parties of 10 or less can be made online via OpenTable. Larger than 10 can be made over the phone at 662-232-8080 or by emailing citygroceryreservations@gmail.com. Please note, we cannot guarantee a quick response to any emailed request, nor does an email secure a reservation. If your request is pressing, we strongly encourage you to call the restaurant. We require a credit card to book a reservation for parties of 6 or more. A $20 per person fee will be assessed to the credit card on file for cancellations made without a 24 hour notice and no-shows.
Events/Private Dining: Requests can be made by emailing Jennifer Nelson Pascoe (General Manager) at citygroceryjen@gmail.com.
Special Weekend Reservations: We accept reservations for Special Weekends (i.e. Football, Graduation, and Double Decker) exactly 30 days out. These become available at 12:00 AM Central Time via OpenTable. We require a credit card for all party sizes. A $40 per person fee will be assessed to the credit card on file for cancellations made without a 24 hour notice and no-shows, as well as a $20 per person fee for changes in party size. Please note, do not email for reservations on these weekends.
Dress Code: While we do not technically require a dress code, Chef John Currence does ask that you remove your hat when dining with us.
Early on the scene of the Oxford Square revival, City Grocery has become a landmark in the dining scene thanks to the incisive vision of Chef John Currence. Exposed brick walls and heart pine plank floors augment the candlelight and white tablecloths, while Chef Jon ‘JD’ Davis, current Chef de Cuisine and Mississippi’s 2025 ‘King of Seafood’, stages some of the most creative and interesting food in the South. Open for Lunch and Dinner six days a week, we invite you to experience “The Grocery” with family, friends, and associates for your next birthday celebration, business outing, anniversary, and every occasion in between. Sip a House Cocktail at the bar upstairs; enjoy an oversized Muffaletta at lunch; share a bottle of wine from our wide-ranging list with a friend. Chef Currence’s ‘baby’ has it all.
