About the restaurant
Nestled within Vicksburg’s oldest neighborhood, & located inside the town’s oldest columned mansion/bed & breakfast that survived the Civil War, Restaurant Anchuca exudes true Southern hospitality & happiness — after all, the name “Anchuca” is derived from the Choctaw word meaning “happy home.” Don’t miss the filet — it’s so tender you won’t need a steak knife! Guests consistently say it’s the best filet they’ve ever had. Other specialties include the scrumptious shrimp & grits, paneed catfish featuring Mississippi farm-raised catfish, exceptional chicken piccata, & a variety of dinner and dessert specials.
Looking for great wine? With an emphasis on family-owned vineyards, artisan producers, highly sought after imports, & a wide range of price points, Restaurant Anchuca is proud to deliver world-class wine alongside Mississippi’s world-class hospitality. Our award-winning selection has been curated especially for Restaurant Anchuca by Mississippi’s only advanced-level sommelier.

About the restaurant
Mark and Mary Shapley began this dining tradition in 1985 and soon became one of the premier restaurants in the state. After taking a break to raise their two girls, they have returned with the same great food and service everyone came to know. Great steaks and seafood along with their famous tamales are still the main attraction along with an impressive bar and wine offerings. Please come by and see for yourself how special this restaurant is. We were recently voted 'Best Fine Dining' by the readers of Mississippi MagazineTop review
