Chicken restaurant · Tupelo

"The first thing you’ll see when you pull up to this still-operational gas station is the 'Eat Like a King' black-and-white mural of Elvis Presley—a homage to the local legend who was born and raised near King Chicken Fillin’ Station in Tupelo, Mississippi. Executive chef Mitch McCamey bought the gas station when it was up for sale and opened the restaurant in March 2018. Both are located in the former Belden Cash Grocer building, which also houses the longest-running convenience store in Lee County, Mississippi (since 1944). Swing by for the southern fried chicken, smoked chicken, and burgers. On Saturday mornings, opt for the TCB brunch—it’s a nod to Elvis’s signature saying, 'taking care of business,' and includes options like chicken and waffles and loaded chicken biscuits." - Adrienne Jordan
