The Olive Pit

is a good Italian food restaurant; the food is big city tasty and plentiful. I don't think they take reservations. Located at 905 Mineral Wells Ave Paris, TN 38242 (Map & Directions) (731) 642-5030. You will have leftovers... You can put the leftovers in the fridge at HSHBnB. Don't forget your leftovers...Yummy!

El Antojo Mexican Grill

El Antojo is a new downtown Mexican food grill. Within walking distance from HSHBnB. This a family run business and I can attest to the quality and consistency, lunch or dinner. I think they don't take reservations. Located at 105 S Brewer St.Paris, TN 38242 (Map & Directions) (731) 642-5030. Tell them we sent you. Yummy!

The Golden Dragon

We have several good Mexican food restaurants here in Paris as well as a new tacqueria. Two of them are on Mineral Wells Ave. El Varquero is the older of the two and they are both excellent. At least one Mexican restaurant within walking distance. Ask us about them... lots of good food to be had here in Paris, somewhat partial to Mexican food...

Prater's Tater Bar

1055 Mineral Wells Ave Paris, TN 38242 Ste 16 (731) 642-7224.

Do not let the name discourage you. If you like an occasional baked potato piled high with fillings, stuffings, meat, cheeses, vegetables, most anything you can imagine can be added. Have no doubt their serving will be a full meal. You will probably have some leftovers to make a nice next meal microwave dish as well. Praters Taters is definitely worth a try.

Miso Japanese Restaurant

Miso Japanese Restaurant is located at 915 Mineral Wells Ave. (731) 407-6030 Surprisingly good Japanese food in a pleasant environment. Lunch and dinner is available and is always well prepared and well served. You can check out their menu on the link below. This is a regular choice for us here at HSHBnB. Their steaks are a real treat... can't beat the Bento Box either...
