Cafe Marie

It is So Nice to have a real gourmet restaurant inside the city limits of Tunica, before Café Marie you would have to drive to one of the Casinos for a gourmet meal. Please don’t ever leave Tunica Marie!

I dare you to find a sweeter group of people in Mississippi. We had cold beers, great gourmet food, and the best easy conversations with this lovely family that owns the place. Very cute and a hotel upstairs to boot. If you are in Tunica, go here!

Not quite as good as I remembered. Everything was a bit bland. Otherwise it was nice and quiet with decent atmosphere.

Went here for lunch after seeing it mentioned in one of the tourist brochures. It is on a side street inside an old hotel in downtown Tunica.
At 11:45 AM, I was the first patron to appear for lunch. The dining room was empty, while the Blue and White Restaurant up the street was packed. Not a very good sign, but I decided to try it anyway.
The small dining room was very comfortable with a relaxed atmosphere. A couple more tables were occupied shortly after I arrived.
The service was better than average. The lunch menu is quite limited with relatively few choices. I chose a fried chicken salad, which comes in both small ($ 8.00) or large ($ 11.00) sizes. I ordered the large.
The salad was fine… quite good, but not anything special or over the top. I would categorize it as medium-​sized. At $ 11.00, I would say it was over-​priced by about 20%.
I enjoyed it for lunch and would probably return if I am again in the area.

We stopped by Café Marie to have a business lunch. It is a place with much charm and history as it was once a hotel. We had a group of nine people and were looking for a private setting to have a discussion over lunch. Upon arrival we asked if we could get a private room and they gladly accommodated us.
The waitress was prompt in asking us for our drink orders and was very patient when we waited awhile for one person. She checked in just the right amount and made sure ours drinks were kept full. After ordering she brought out baskets of bread which was good.
I had the crawfish étouffée which came with a side of fruit cocktail. The étouffée was a bit on the salty side for me but otherwise was vey good. The fruit cocktail was the kind out of the can so it was fine.
It was nice to find such a nice restaurant in downtown Tunica!
