About The CooperTown Cafe

Mississippi blues and good ole’ & rsquo; home cooking just seem to go hand-in-hand. They absolutely go well together at Coopertown Café, a restaurant located in Hattiesburg, run by native Brookhaven siblings, Cameron and Doyce Cleckler. “& ldquo; We come from a culinary household,” & rdquo; said owner, Cameron Cleckler. Their grandparents, Houston and Gladys Jordan, opened The 84 Milk Spin in the 1960s. Not only are the food and songs southern, however the décor is. Each tabletop display screens a theme, whether it be “& ldquo; Gone With the Wind” & rdquo; or & ldquo; Southern Miss. & rdquo; Camp Shelby is likewise represented. “& ldquo; Every table top is an original that we made ourselves,” & rdquo; said C. Cleckler. The café has an informal feel. The proprietor defined the feel as “& ldquo; really laid back & rdquo; – and & ldquo; laid-back dining & rdquo;-- the ideal environment for the smooth, creamy blues. A quote in the colorful Coopertown Café menu reviews, “& ldquo; Food made with love by people that love food.” & rdquo;
