Ajax Diner
118 Courthouse Square
(662) 232-8880
At Ajax, there’s more down-home soul on the menu than at a Southern Baptist tent revival on a Mississippi Sunday in the dead of July. Sure, that’s a mouthful, but that’s what you get at Ajax. Whether it’s a mountain of chicken and dumplings or a bowl of mac and cheese, you’ll have a tough time believing it ain’t mama back there in the kitchen. Just don’t tell her you like Matty’s mom’s meatloaf more than hers. After all, it’s filled with cheese. Lawd have mercy!
Ajax Diner was voted Oxford’s Favorite in three categories: “Favorite Burger,” “Favorite Soul Food,” and “Favorite Local Restaurant,” Ajax Diner is a great place to eat and so much more. Their lunch menu features a selection of salads, sandwiches, and po-boys, including Pop’s Shrimp Salad and a Fried Oyster Po-Boy. The dinner menu features a 16 oz. house cut ribeye steak and a 14 oz. Buffalo Porterhouse Porkchop that is char grilled and served topped with a spicy molasses BBQ sauce and bleu cheese compound butter.
Stop in after dinner for a full bar and occasional live music, never a cover!
