Mammy's Cupboard (founded 1940)[1] is a roadside restaurant built in the shape of a mammy archetype,[1] located on US Highway 61 south of Natchez, Mississippi. The woman's skirt holds a dining room and a gift shop.[2] The skirt is made out of bricks, and the earrings are horseshoes.[3] She is holding a serving tray while smiling.[4] Mammy's Cupboard has been through several renovations; the exterior has been repaired and the interior refurbished.[5] The restaurant currently serves lunches and desserts.[2]
