Food is where the problem comes in ... I hate this happed because we come there every year maybe more on my birthday which was yesterday. The steaks were very blend (which never had happens to us it's normally the best steak ever ) the potatoes both my husband and mine burnt. The salad even tasted like it never was washed. I told our sweet waiter she took 5 dollars off very appreciated but honestly I couldn't even eat my meal because of it . So I wasted 30 dollars on food I didn't eat. My husband just bared through his food. We won't be back because of this .

We had the spinach salad - not to be missed - and the Delmonico steak. Both were great. At brunch the spinach salad isn't on the menu but you can still order it.

I only eat here occasionally , as the prices are way off. This is a small town, I think they need to realize my friends ,family, their "neighbors " , we all like the food but we will certainly go another 20 minutes to buy the same sort of foods they serve at a cheaper price and of better quality. Highly recommend the grilled seafood and fish. My meat lovers,sons and husband, recommend a different location, going by the price of their steaks /fush/ burgers, my family says it's worth it to go a few miles further to dine than to pay the expensive price HTP, simply put HTP is way to expensive for the quality . My opinion is I live the salmon, salad bar, but a little pricey, as my family says. Staff at window and the older workers/owners are usually friendly. Some need to realize customers are not as they may seem, we may have $ to spend there,some friends have mentioned they go elsewhere due to one or two people who received their order and no eye contact, no manners, It's simply not a great idea to be unfriendly. Great broil/bouled/ grilled fish for sure ,though

Their steaks and burgers are better than anything the franchised steakhouses have to offer. Period. No debate. They have a market attached to the restaurant and it is my favorite place to shop for hard-to-find cuts; ox tail is my favorite and practically nonexistent in most meat departments. I have yet to try any of their goat or lamb, but their ice cream is addictive. You've been warned. The front of the house staff is always very friendly and attentive while the back of the house is always on point with the food. The two I've spoken with the most have been Ashley and her manager, Danielle. Both are wonderful; I can't say enough nice things about them. Danielle's hard work is evident in her people and the establishment. The restaurant itself has a modern, southwestern aesthetic that is very clean and cozy featuring a spacious horseshoe bar with a variety of seating indoors and out. The wood paneling, leather seating, and soft lighting create the perfect atmosphere for a business lunch or nice date, but is especially pleasant during a normal lunch. You couldn't ask for more from a local steakhouse.

Yelp led us to The Loft and thank goodness we got there about 10 minutes before open because there was already a line down the sidewalk. We got in line and were seated right when the doors opened for dinner. I enjoyed the interior of the restaurant. It had a rustic vibe and a man playing the guitar and singing. The music was great but wished he was a little bit louder. The service was good and were in and out within about 1 hour and 15 minutes for dinner. I started with a cocktail - Stormy Laurel. I'm a suckered for any drink with elderflower and it was light and refreshing. The food was delicious! The house side salad was huge and the croutons were so good. I like that they provided plenty of salad dressing. I ordered the fried shrimp dinner with the loaded potato casserole. The shrimp were massive, there were so many, and they were seasoned well and breaded just the right amount. The potato casserole was yummy and had a slight kick which I appreciated. We also ordered the bread pudding for dessert. I liked the white chocolate chips throughout. Come here for a solid meal! I loved the food and atmosphere. I thought there were plenty of options on the menu and everything was priced well.

For Mize this is one of a VERY few restaurant options in the area. It has the potential of being…read morethe best restaurant in the area except every time I've visited they seem to be out of things. So I've been here multiple times and put my order in here multiple times and it seems that every time they are out of something so I have re-order again. I can adapt and adjust for most things such as having to change to a different side (even though they seem to be out of nearly all the sides but a couple so it degrades into me having to play a guessing game of "OK so what sides are available?") and then finding out quite awhile later they are out of the entree you ordered as they are bringing food out to the other people at your table. My mom refuses to visit here anymore because of the constant required guessing game of what exactly is available to order. The final straw for me was when I got a basic burger and I told my server "I absolutely hate ketchup and mayo and I ONLY want mustard as a condiment on my burger" to then have my burger delivered and then be told they are out of mustard. Unfortunately I have had of late so many bad experiences with so many restaurants now having no mustard or only having it in the irritating little packets I now just keep creole mustard in my vehicle at all times for situations just like this. I would suggest sticking to the steak and steak tips in general here and before you even drive here I would call ahead to confirm what they have available to go ahead and put your order in to make sure they will have what you want before you make the journey to this joint. The servers are really friendly here but sometimes they are a bit on the slow side, even when nobody else is in the restaurant, so getting a refill on your drink can take longer than other places such as across the the street at The Mize Hamburger House that always has great service and always has things in stock. Overall I guess this spot is a victim of their success and I like to guess they have possibly gotten so popular they quickly sell out of items and then they are so busy the kitchen can't keep the servers updated on what is currently available. Although I've had issues even when I was the only person in the restaurant... This spot definitely has a lot of potential but I'm taking a good long break from eating here as I can't play the Russian roulette game of what is left to eat here all the time anymore. I have limited time and budget with my current work taking me to various spots so I need more reliable outcomes as I'm usually having to hurry so when I get a moment to enjoy a meal I need to NOT have to go back into hurry hurry mode because what I ordered ain't dere no more as the last one already got eaten for the day.

I was skeptical but we've eaten there before and the food was good, so I figured they'd be alright. In my effort to always make her happy, we went to Mize, ordered ribeyes and then spotted a plate of fried oysters going to the table next to us. I looked so good I couldn't resist ordering some. Both were Amazing! I can't even order a steak in Hattiesburg. I keep putting it off until I can go back to Sam's Place. Plus, I have fried oysters on my mind like a song you can't get out of your head. Advice: Relax and enjoy your dinner company. It's not pre-cooked, so you'll have to wait!
