Itta Bena features traditional southern fare with a Delta twist, providing a sophisticated dining experience. The 16-ounce bone-in ribeye, shrimp and grits, she-crab soup, and fried green tomato sliders are among of the restaurant's best-known dishes. Because every dish is made with great care, the flavors come together to create a refined yet comforting cuisine that is really southern. For those who want steak, the ribeye is a substantial option, but the shrimp and grits have a more classic southern flavor profile that is accentuated by rich, creamy textures. A mainstay of coastal southern cuisine, the She-Crab Soup is highly praised by diners for its powerful crab flavor and thick, velvety smoothness.
