If you’ve ever tried black bottom pie, you know it’s creamy, chocolatey, and, well, downright delicious! And while lots of places serve the decadent dessert, there’s one spot that tops them all, and it’s Mississippi’s very own Weidmann’s.

Weidmann’s is located in Meridian, which is where it’s been since opening as a four-stool diner in 1870.

As much of a landmark as it is an eatery, it’s the oldest restaurant in the state.

However, Weidmann’s diners aren’t its only link to fame. There’s also its “world famous” black bottom pie.

As an added bonus, every meal includes a quick history lesson, thanks to informative servers, a detailed menu, and time-honored traditions, including the peanut butter crocks and crackers that adorn every table – something that began in 1940, when, due to WWII, butter was scarce.
