Mississippi blues and great ole’ & rsquo; comfort food simply appear to go hand-in-hand. They absolutely go well with each other at Coopertown Café, a dining establishment situated in Hattiesburg, run by indigenous Brookhaven brothers, Cameron and Doyce Cleckler. “& ldquo; We originate from a culinary household,” & rdquo; claimed owner, Cameron Cleckler. Their grandparents, Houston and Gladys Jordan, opened up The 84 Dairy Spin in the 1960s.

Not just are the food and songs southerly, yet the décor is, as well. Each tabletop screens a motif, whether it be “& ldquo; Selected the Wind” & rdquo; or & ldquo; Southern Miss. & rdquo; Camp Shelby is also stood for. “& ldquo; Every tabletop is an original that we made ourselves,” & rdquo; said C. Cleckler. The café has a laid-back feeling. The owner defined the feel as “& ldquo; really laid back & rdquo; – and & ldquo; laid-back eating & rdquo;-- the ideal ambience for the smooth, velvety blues. A quote in the colorful Coopertown Café menu checks out, “& ldquo; Food done with love by people that enjoy food.”
