First time visitor to this highly recommended establishment & I hold them now in high regard. Why…read moreyou ask? Service! We were a party of 8 and everyone knows larger parties are not easy to wait. Jordan did a phenomenal job showing patience and kindness to our family. All we wanted was a great time and good food at best, but we got 5 star treatment all around. Most of the family ordered filet mignon and loved every bite This is a must have dish if you're a steak lover. Apologies to the manager who assisted and BLESSES us. We noticed what you did for us *insert gold trophy emoji*

Okay is the word. Service was great. Price point was really…read moregood. Building and area was nice. The burgers were a little dry. The burger combos we tried were just off a little. The black and blue was runny. The cheese on the quesadilla was so runny that you could barely eat it, much less as a have held. I would not run steaming, or go hungry before eating here, but some fine running is needed.

The restaurant atmosphere seems casual but the food made up for it, as our meal was delicious. We ordered a round of drinks (can't remember the exact names) and they were good. We tried the spring rolls appetizer and those rolls are stuffed with meat- they were ok. Next came the main meal, ribeye with Brussels and praline casserole and everything was amazing! The steak was cooked perfectly and very seasoned! If I am ever in the area again, I will be stopping in for another great meal!

Her steak bites cooked at medium were still tender and delicious, my filet was in the top two that I've ever had, it could have been cut with a butter knife. The food, the service and the atmosphere make this place 10/10 without question. We can't wait to eat here again.

Since my previous review a LOT has changed at Chesterfield's! This was my second visit to their new…read morelocation so it had been decades since my last visit and this second visit was many years after I last ate here in 2019. I have to say I still prefer their old location better which is largely more for nostalgia's sake. The service was less than I had come to expect from the old location so that could certainly use some improvement and it seemed to have gotten even worse for my second visit to the new spot. The food has declined from my past first visit to this new location sadly. The open faced prime rib sandwich served with a side of au jus was my go to staple here for many years but they no longer have that on the menu sadly. The only other entrée I ever ordered here was one of the Gulf fish specials which they still had some of those at least but not as good a choice as they used to have. For my second visit the menu was so uninspiring to me I just got a cheeseburger and it was fortunately a decently good cheeseburger. For Hattiesburg this is probably still one of the better places to eat. They have continued doing a nice tray of their dessert selections setting out on display to really try and tempt your soul with lust for their sweet treats. I really think they need to up their game again and go back to what they used to be! Overall if you're in the area this is probably a good choice for the food or their bar which will be better than any of the many nearby chains like Applebee's but not quite as good as Crescent City Grill.

On the bartender's recommendation, I ordered the Catfish Plaquemine, and it was phenomenal. Perfectly prepared catfish with a sauce that really brought the dish together. This place has the feel of a classic New Orleans-style restaurant with consistently strong seafood. Definitely worth a visit and I'll be back.

If great restaurants were graded on atmosphere and service alone, Crescent City Grill would be…read moresitting near the top of the class. The staff is attentive without hovering, professional without feeling scripted, and they genuinely make you feel welcome. The ambience hits that sweet spot -- energetic but still comfortable, making it an easy place to settle in and enjoy your meal. Now let's talk about the real headline act: the cheese grits. Absolutely out of this world. Creamy, rich, perfectly seasoned and the pepper Jack cheese added a wonderful touch-- they weren't a side dish, they were the star of the show. If they sold those by the gallon, I'd consider questionable life decisions. I ordered the shrimp po'boy. The shrimp themselves? Fantastic. Fresh, fried just right, and piled generously. The toppings and that homemade remoulade (or whatever magic sauce they're whipping up back there) were bright and flavorful. The only hiccup: the bread. The ends were toasted with the intensity of a NASA heat shield. I needed jaw strength training to get through the first few bites. Once you navigated past that crunchy barricade though, it was smooth sailing. I finished with the deep dish apple pie à la mode. I'm not sure if it was made in-house, outsourced, or assembled by a dessert engineer in a lab somewhere -- but I don't really care. It worked. Warm apples, flaky crust, walnuts, brown sugar, and cold ice cream melting into the whole situation... excellent flavor combo. Bonus points for a strong bourbon selection at prices that don't require a small loan application. That alone will get me back in the door. Four stars because of the bread battle, but I'd absolutely come back -- especially for those grits and a good pour of bourbon.

She was friendly, sharp, and knew the menu and the bourbon list like a sommelier who also grew up at in her parent's restaurant/bar. Let's talk about the $34 steak night deal -- I came in expecting "good for the price." What I got was "I'm suspicious this kitchen loves me personally." My steak was cooked absolutely perfectly and seasoned so well I considered hugging the chef. The Caesar salad was crisp and classic, the kind that makes you feel like you're being healthy right before you absolutely abandon that plan. Let's talk about the MVP now -- the sweet potato mash with candied pecans. I would like to publicly apologize to my steak because it was no longer the star of the plate. I would order a full bowl of the sweet potato mash if I could. The Bourbon of the Month (Barrell Dovetail) paired ridiculously well. Smooth, rich, and dangerous -- the kind of pour that convinces you that you've made excellent life decisions. I finished with the king cake bread pudding which was the perfect mic drop to the meal especially on Fat Tuesday. This is hands down the best steakhouse I've found in the city. Great food, great service, great pours, super clean restaurant and bar-- Bourbon on Front is officially a "I am coming back and bringing friends" place.

Everyone at the table felt like they had the same experience. The service was top notch. Very friendly and attentive. We had a few cocktails that were delicious. The spinach dip was very creamy. Our salads were perfect. The filet was cooked perfectly medium rare and served with a side of grilled onions and topped with blue cheese. The baked potato was massive. We also had the special which was a grilled red snapper filet served on top of garlic mashed potatoes and topped with lump crab meat and two gulf shrimp. Amazing. Thank you to the staff and the manager. It's hard to find a total dining experience that checks all the boxes. This meal reset the bar for me at BOF.

I tried several different flavors and my favorites were the pineapple and jalapeno. They are now making their sausages available here and I picked up some right away. Lil Butcher Shoppe is located at 1910 Broadway Dr in Hattiesburg, MS, and has been proudly serving the Pine Belt region since 1991. This family-owned and operated "olde-fashioned" butcher shop offers a wide variety of fresh, high-quality meats, local products, and excellent customer service. From its humble beginnings at Tip's gas station to its current thriving location, Lil Butcher Shoppe has become a beloved fixture in the community and now making their sausages products available in stores. Their history, brothers David Lawson and Steven Dyar founded Lil Butcher Shoppe over three decades ago, drawing inspiration from their family's history in the service industry. Prior to opening the butcher shop, David worked at Tip's, a gas station named after their mother, Christal "Tip" Lawson. The family managed the various locations from the years 1974-1990. David had worked in the family's gas station business his entire life, where he learned business management and customer service skills. After serving in the Navy, Steven Dyar began working at Carroll's Meat Shoppe, Patricia (Trish) Dyar's family butcher shop in Jacksonville, FL. This is where Steve learned the butcher trade and fell in love with Trish, whom he married. In 1990, the couple decided to move back to Mississippi. Lil Butcher Shoppe boasts a vast selection of fresh, hand-cut beef, pork, chicken, and seafood. Customers can also request custom cuts to suit their preferences. In addition to high-quality meats, the shop offers a range of homemade items, such as: * Stuffed Potatoes (6 flavors) * Bratwursts * Boudin * Meatloaf * Smoked Chicken * Stuffed Porkchops * Stuffed Chicken * Gumbo * Mardi Gras Pasta Sauce * Casseroles * Stuffed Mushrooms & Peppers * Crawfish Pies The shop also stocks an assortment of cheeses, homemade jams, and various ready-to-bake dishes. With such a diverse array of offerings, Lil Butcher Shoppe truly caters to a wide range of tastes and culinary needs. I have already prepared a number of dishes for breakfast and dinner using several of these sausages and I'm a fan. The pineapple flavor is very good just grilled on a bun with a pineapple slaw and the jalapeno one is great with beans. I have more ideas and there's lots of ideas. Bottom line: Lil Butcher Shoppe has stood the test of time as a family-owned, community-oriented establishment in Hattiesburg, MS. Offering an extensive array of high-quality meats, homemade dishes, and local products, it remains a go-to destination for residents and visitors alike who appreciate quality and exceptional customer service.

It complemented the Redfish. The only thing that I would improve on would be the grits. They were a little dry. My husband ordered the pepperoni pizza and Ashley recommended the pepper jelly with it. We had great service. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend this place.

This was my first visit to a Logan's Roadhouse and it was during Veteran's Day when they had some…read morenice offers for Veterans. My food was alright and I really did appreciate the deal they had for Vets but if I'm going to be honest I have to say Outback Steak did a far better job. To be balanced I think Outback is overall a nicer and more expensive restaurant than Logan's though so it probably isn't a fair comparison. I would say Texas Roadhouse is more comparable to Outback Steakhouse but BOTH Logan's Roadhouse and Outback put out better food than I've ever had at Texas Roadhouse and I've eaten at many Texas Roadhouse locations all over and so far I've never been impressed unfortunately. So overall Logan's seems to offer some good food at a good value.
