At Ajax Diner, there’s more down-home soul on the menu than at a Southern Baptist tent revival on a Mississippi Sunday in the dead of July. Sure, that’s a mouthful, but that’s what you get at Ajax! Read more

Amazing southern food with good service . It is a very cool atmosphere as well
Great authentic southern food . But order only one plate per person because it comes in huge!
This place is an Oxford institution and you must explore the menu. With that said, the red bean rolls are 9 dollars for 2 tiny egg rolls . Start elsewhere on the menu.
One of my favorite food places on the square cant wait till dec when I can grab some food there chicken n dumplings :)
Whether it’s a mountain of chicken & dumplings or a bowl of mac & cheese , you’ll have a tough time believing it ain’t mama back there in the kitchen! Read more
Sausage and cheese plate is big enough for two.
Broccoli , rice and cheese casserole and country fried steak and gravy are to die for.
Good Deep South lunch spot with local beers and sweet tea .
I highly recommend the fried oyster poboy . THEN. You add bacon and pimiento cheese . Do it. No seriously.
Amazing fried pickles ! Thin, crispy & yummy!
I really only eat the sides here, but again wasn’t raised in the south so never acquired the taste for country fried steak
Hamburgers are amazing but big. It is so good!????
Came in for lunch and all I can say is wait for dinner . My okra was chewy, my pork chops ate like a raw hide. The only thing consistent is the Sweet potato casserole
Everything! The Southern - style food is great.
Just don’t tell your mama you like Matty’s Mom’s Meatloaf more than hers. After all, it’s filled with cheese . Lawd have mercy! Read more
Lima beans were delicious along with the sweet potato casserole ! Best pork chop ever!!
Best hamburger in Oxford, hands down. I get mine with pimento cheese and a 32 ounce bottled Budweiser .
Best Bloody Mary and no shittin you, THE ABSOLUTE BEST HAMBURGER IN THE WORLD. Add pimento cheese .
Stop in after dinner for a full bar and occasional live music , never a cover! Read more
