Why you should go: Celebrating its eightieth anniversary, Johnnie’s Drive-In is a Tupelo treasure and the city’s oldest restaurant. Known for its classic dough burger, created during World War II and the Great Depression to stretch the use of meat by adding flour, this unique spot has stood the test of time. A favorite of Elvis Presley, Johnnie’s offers more than a meal—it’s a glimpse into Tupelo’s rich past.
