Jerry’s Dreamboat

Have a hankering for unique Mississippi Delta hot tamales? Need a fix of some killer BBQ? Then this is your place and it’s in the historic Creamboat building.

Jerry’s tamales are a product of a recipe dating back to at least the early 1950’s. Beginning with Mr. Ware, who peddled his fresh hot tamales on his three-wheel cart all over Clarksdale, then on to Mrs. Christine Coburn, who sold the tamales at the Super Q Barbeque, Jerry’s father’s restaurant located at the historic Crossroads of Highways 49 & 61.

When the demand for Mrs. Coburn’s delicious tamales became more than she could handle, Jerry Sr. bought the time-tested recipe and continued to sell the tamales along with BBQ at his 61 Hwy restaurant. Now you can see what the all the fuss is in a building shaped like a steamboat.
