Beyond the Bluff
Breakfast – Kinfolk
Start your journey out of town with flaky biscuits, savory fixins, and a view of the Mississippi. Kinfolk is a cozy, community-minded breakfast spot that serves southern classics with a modern twist.
Mid-Morning Adventure – Meeman Shelby Forest State Park
Tucked against the Mississippi River, this park is your nature reset. Choose a short trail, a longer loop, or just cruise the roads under the canopy. Expect birdsong, wildflowers, and plenty of room to breathe.
Lunch – Turnage Grocery
This old-school country store and restaurant is a destination all on its own. Expect tasty burgers, onion rings, and deli sandwiches made to order!
Sightseeing & Shopping – Tipton County Historic Square
Charming and walkable, the square is full of unique shops, boutiques, and photo ops. It’s the perfect stop for stretching your legs and finding a little something to take home.
Afternoon History Stop – Tipton County Museum, Veterans Memorial & Nature Center
Part local museum, part community archive, part nature trail. This stop packs a lot into a small space.
Sweet Treat – Theo and Roe’s Ice Cream Parlor
This retro-inspired shop is full of color, flavor, and friendly faces. Go for a classic scoop or something over the top. Either way, it’s a fun break with a side of sprinkles.
Dinner Options – Erwin's Great Steaks & The Cellar
Erwin’s is old-school in the best way, with a menu full of comfort and a dining room that feels like it’s been waiting for you since 1982. Or head to The Haystack for a laid-back local favorite for burgers and platters with a cold drink on the side.
After Hours – The Cellar
The Cellar is a nod to its Prohibition roots with a modern twist where you’ll find classic cocktails and a bourbon list worth lingering over. Stylish, cozy, and full of character.
