I didn't get a chance to ask why this place is only open until 5 PM, because I barely made it there…read moreat 4:45. If I had any say in the matter, I'd pay to keep them open 24 hours because this is the kind of food you'll crave any time of day or night. As it says in the name, Country Hix specializes in boudin. Boudin is a sausage made of both meat and rice, with ground vegetables inside. I got a little of everything: regular boudin, smoked boudin, boudin ball, boudin rollup. For your information: * Regular boudin indeed tastes like a sausage casing with meat and rice inside. It's fairly plain, and mine tasted a little underdone. I far preferred the smoked boudin, which just brings that zing of smoked flavor with it and transforms the sausage into something divine. And it was perfectly done. (I admit that I added the plain boudin to compare the two, so they weren't thrown in simultaneously.) Unless someone in your family doesn't like it for some reason, get all your boudin links (about 1/2 lb each, they say) as smoked. * Boudin ball is wonderful. You may be familiar with stuffed jalapenos, where you put cream cheese and possibly meat inside a jalapeno, bread and deep-fry. Well, this is the opposite. You take some cheese and jalapeno and you wrap the meat around THAT, before breading and deep-frying the meat ball. Again, that inversion and priority on the boudin sausage transforms this dish. It's also the perfect amount of breading and fried to the perfect doneness. * Boudin rollup is, as Country Hix advises, similar to an egg roll but with boudin inside. I got the pepper jack variety, and can tell you it tastes like a small cheesesteak. Again, excellent. You can't go wrong with a ball or a rollup of your choice. When I called to see if they'd still be open, they asked if I wanted to place my order in advance. If you think your timing will be close to 5 PM, definitely do that. From my talk with the very friendly lady up front, I have no doubt they would hold your meal a few minutes past 5:00 as they clean up, as long as they can get it all cooked before then. My talk also tells me it's family-owned (not to mention the kids hanging out), which just adds even more stars to a rating that is already 5 stars. Pull off the highway, accelerate a little harder if you need, but get your fanny to Country Hix ASAP.

My husband and I met a friend at Crescent City while passing through on a road trip, and while we…read morewere told it was good by some of the locals, we weren't expecting just HOW good! Our server, Cameron, was kind, patient, and attentive as we waited for our friend to arrive. He was also extremely knowledgeable about the menu, and offered great suggestions based on his personal favorites. We started with the crabmeat wontons, which I was expecting to favor traditional rangoons, but these were crispy gyozo dumplings, filled with a savory and smooth blend of crab and cream cheese, and served with sweet chili sauce. They didn't last long on the table :) Even my husband, who usually doesn't like seafood, dug in! Intrigued by the subtle twist on a classic, my husband chose the fried chicken and beignets. I was allowed a bite :) and it was hard to stop there! The flavor of both components was outstanding, and the crispy texture, perfect. I wasn't quite as hungry, so I asked if I could do a classic Caesar salad and add creole shrimp. When I say this was the best salad I've ever had, I'm not exaggerating! The flavor of the dressing was so simple yet rich, the croutons were light and tasted freshly-made, and the shrimp were deliciously savory, with a blackened flavor that exceeded my expectations. All in all, a great dining experience that we will share with others traveling through the area, and will repeat if we're ever back!

My only complaint is that it was a bit oily and lacked flavor(which the sauce also helped). I would love to sit down and dine in someday.

To see across the dining room one has to shield one's eyes with one's hands.... Paint the walls gray, and put some shades on those bright lights! Best to ask for the other dining room which has a much better environment for your eyes and senses. Flatware is the CHEAPEST sold to restaurants, terrible, just like the cheap flatware used by The Loft. Server was friendly for sure but not professional. None of the servers could tell you anything about any of the wines... except for the difference in color! Owners, teach your staff about the wine list! Your servers should know what a Malbec is and that it's from the Mendoza region in the Andes of Argentina, for example. We each had a dish that included a flatiron steak. Sadly our steaks were incredibly tough and chewy. I was able to eat ZERO of it... first bite... chew chew chew until it arrived at its destination, in a paper napkin. Same outcome for bites two and three.... Both ended up in my napkin! The server failed to notice that everything on my plate was gone but the steak appeared untouched! She should have noticed that the other foods were disappearing but the steaks sat appearing untouched on our plates. Green beans, shrimp, pasta dishes all a 10 out of 10! We will go back as overall this is a decent place to eat! However, still waiting on the down town Laurel restaurants to class it up! After all, we are a tourist town (HGTV-Home Town fans) and our guests are here daily from all over the country and world. Train the staff, learn the wines, ditch the cheap flatware, think about adding cloth napkins... and paint the dining room and dim those flood lights!

This dive joint is known simply as "The Grill" and is located on the exact edge of the city limits of Laurel, MS. Even though they are called "The Grill" they are not a restaurant and don't regularly sell food but they do sometimes have food along with a nice BBQ grill on their back patio. It is getting harder to find a classic dive bars like this and there is one bad aspect many dives share and that is some of them still allow smoking so for non-smokers like myself it is a bit hard to breathe in here with the nasty cigarette funk. They also have a limited selection of drinks with most of their beers being in cans although they serve your ice cold beer in a Koozie. The great news is the prices are cheap and the bartenders and patrons are friendly. The best thing about this joint is the awesome juke box that has a fantastic selection of music. This is a serious pool bar and they have two pool tables with cue sticks around the walls with people's names on them along with warnings not to touch their cues. Overall this is a great dive bar that really has that authentic ambiance which takes decades to build up. Not many tourists ever find this joint and many locals don't even know about this great dive bar so it is a great spot to hide away and have some fun.
