White Front Cafe Joe's Hot Tamale Place

We visited White Front Cafe Joe's Hot Tamale Place this summer on our 3rd Mancation (a vacation to visit the Mississippi Blues markers and hear some tunes without our spouses (because they didn't want to come, despite being asked nicely) and got lucky enough to finally arrive when they were open! The tamales were excellent and the woman who helped us was wonderful! She told us the stories of the people who were pictured on the wall while we ate. We had ordered a bunch to just be good polite and say we had done it, but then ordered another bunch more! This is well worth the trip to Rosedale, Mississippi! Crank up the Robert Johnson and order twice as many as you think, because you'll want more! Most excellent addition to any adventure!

Great place to get some tamales. Only food they have is tamales but they are great and the owner has a lot of historical knowledge and is a treat to talk to. Grabbed some to go and will be back any time I'm in the area. Place is cash only so be sure to grab some before you go..

A wonderful coworker named Eddie had several dozen (if not hundred) of these hot tamales frozen and delivered to Chicago. I have never had a hot tamale like this before... He brought me some multiple times from home and I could not get enough. I'll definitely be calling in to see if I can have some shipped to Chicago!

Best tamales I’ve ever had!

The best tamale I've ever had. Got a dozen to go. Got home wished I had bought 10 dozen. We will go back soon. It might be a little out of the way, but worth every mile.

If you are traveling in the Mississippi Delta, don't miss the Delta's best tamales. Best I can tell, tamales are the only item on the menu. Beautifully wrapped and tied. Bring your pot so you can take some home with broth.

Guess that's your place if you like hand rolled tamales, this is your place. Authentic and friendly owner. Not your typical restaurant experience (in case that's what you are looking for). Enjoy the food if you are in that area.

Very good hot tamales!!

Owner opened shop for me as she was down the street. Very friendly. Hey ' em red hot....2 bundles 😊

Such a nice place and the best tamales I've ever had. I went 1.5 hrs out of the way for the babies, and I'm so glad I went!

The tamales are very tasty and Barbara is the best, thank you!

Best hot tamales in the Delta, and the owner, Barbara Pope, has a heart of gold.

Love Miss Barbara. Best Delta Tamales on the planet

Grandfather grew up in the area, took the family back there and I have never had better tamales!

Best tamales in the delta and the owner was so kind and hospitable. Worth the detour off 61!

This place has been in my family for years. I grew up in this small town and had these often.

Stop in for at least half a dozen hot tamales and an experience you won't soon forget!

The most famous tamale stand in the Delta. Rightly so.

Friendly lady greets you, serves you and makes great Tamales

Great tamales and blues history
