King's Tavern Kitchen

King's Tavern, built circa 1789 and operating as one of the oldest standing structures in Mississippi, functions as an active restaurant and bar serving food in the building that was the original terminus of the Natchez Trace for Kaintuck boatmen and early American travelers. The tavern's kitchen draws on the Trace-era food traditions of smoked meats, whiskey, and river-commerce provisioning that defined the site for two centuries.
