Fabulous burgers and wings are hiding in this small MS Delta town
Are these the best hamburgers in Mississippi? That question was recently asked on Facebook by a restaurant in the Mississippi Delta. Given Mississippi's reputation for food , that's a bold question to ask. But according to locals, Southern Satisfaction Restaurant has the burgers to back it up and more.
