And if you do visit, make your trip complete with a stay at the town’s quirkiest motel. Offering unique accommodations in an incredible location, you're sure to fall in love with the eclectic inn! Take a look:

Please note, Delta Bohemian Guest House is no longer in business. 

Located just three blocks from downtown, the Delta Bohemian Guest House (DBGH) is the perfect place to stay when visiting Clarksdale.

But location isn’t the only thing the inn has going for it. Forbes Travel ranked it one of the best hotels in the Mississippi Delta.

This Upscale Restaurant In A Former Mississippi Hotel Offers An Unforgettable Dining Experience

Field’s Steak and Oyster Bar in Biloxi, formerly the Magnolia Hotel, offers upscale dining with a mix of hand-butchered steaks and fresh seafood.

Updated Jul 6, 2024

What’s old is new again…at the former Magnolia Hotel Biloxi! After being closed for quite some time, the historic hotel re-opened in spring 2022, but not as a hotel. It’s now an upscale Mississippi restaurant that dishes up spectacular steak, superb seafood, and eclectic specials. Come alone as we show you why we think it is one of the best unique places to dine in Mississippi!

In April 2022, the former Magnolia Hotel in Biloxi re-opened as Field’s Steak and Oyster Bar, adding a new chapter to the building’s long, colorful story.

And if you like seafood restaurants, you're in for a big treat!

Built in 1847, the Magnolia Hotel was one of several resort-style lodges on the Gulf Coast.

Today, it’s the only surviving antebellum hotel on the coast.

Of course, its age and history are no longer the most notable things about the building.

Since its transformation, it’s the upscale setting and fantastic fare that set it apart.

The owner is from the South but attended culinary school in New York.

As a result, the distinctive restaurant menu here features a unique mix that’s promised to “tantalize and please any palate.”

Steaks are front and center on the menu.

Each hunk of beef is hand-butchered and wet-aged, and among the best steaks in Mississippi.

Fresh seafood is also plentiful.

And true to the restaurant’s name, there’s an oyster bar.

In addition to menu staples, there are weekly specials.

Equal parts innovative and fresh...

alt

...the specials are made using locally sourced ingredients and a whole lot of creativity.

Whatever you order, it’s sure to pair well with a craft cocktail.
