Our story

Anthony’s Good Food Market is one of the most beloved historic landmarks among Golden Triangle natives. Established in 1936 as a grocery store in partnership with Bryan Foods, Anthony’s quickly became a cornerstone of the community’s food scene. After running successfully for so many years, owner: Ms. Anthony decided to open her own cafe within the store in 1954. This progression to a full service restaurant continued over the years with different people from all over the area contributing. In 1994, Leo McGee purchased the building with the vision of preserving its vintage charm while introducing live blues music, this being known as the famous “Blues Night” that was a weekly Wednesday tradition for locals in the past but was ultimately halted following the Covid-19 pandemic. In 1997, Carter Frayley took over, infusing the space with New Orleans-inspired flair and expanding the restaurant’s footprint. Then in 2009, after years of working alongside the Frayley family, the Hamiltion family assumed ownership. Ray Hamilton, a third-generation restaurateur from the Mississippi Gulf Coast, brought his deep culinary experience and passion for coastal cuisine to the heart of West Point. Located in the historic Murff Row district, Anthonys has become a cherished dining destination in the Golden Triangle area, where families and businesses alike gather to enjoy an unforgettable meal.

I can't say enough good things about thisplace. The food is great, the staff is kind and attentive and the atmosphere is nice. I have never had a bad meal from here and the staff is always more than willing to go our of thier way to accommodate you. The stuffed filet is one of the best steaks I've ever had and the barbecue crawfish tails are delicious! Great for a date or birthday dinner! Only complaint is that they're not open for lunch!
This is probably the best food in Starkville/Columbus/West Point area. Every meal I've had (been a customer for about 3 years) has been utterly perfect. The staff treat you well, I love the wait between meals - like appetizers/bread/salad/entree and dessert. Just enough time for your food to settle and move on to the next yummy thing. Will never stop coming here!
