The Blue Canoe

THE BLUE CANOE
2006 N. Gloster
Tupelo, Mississippi



This is a funky place. A bandstand where every band that plays there can scrawl their name on the back wall. Local artists put up their art featuring bluesmen. A patio.

We visited on a Monday night. Late. It was kind of quiet. We were not famished, so we decided to split an entree. The waitress recommended the duck quesadilla, so we went with it.

The duck quesadilla was indeed wonderful. The fries were great. Like my Mom used to make (the way I judge all french fries). They usually need to bow to my mother Ruth. Her french fries were uncanny.

The Good: The food and service were wonderful. Nice atmosphere. Not expensive at all.

The Bad: Parking. Very limited and tight. A place this nice needs lots of parking.

I have no hesitation in recommending this place to anyone visiting Tupelo. In a state as rural and mysterious as Mississippi (one of my favorite states) there is modern urban charm found here. The Blue Canoe falls into that category.

Grade: A-
