We were at the river and looking for a close place to eat. This place seemed okay, but we were surprised at how delicious it was! The service was good overall; the waitress was friendly. Lots of menu options, but everything seemed a bit high in price. - 12 oz ribeye (4/5): My husband and I decided to share, and it was a good portion! The steak was cooked perfectly, seasoned well. So much flavor. There was quite a bit of fat, more than a typical ribeye. Comes with a side salad, which was good with the vinaigrette. The baked potato had lots of sour cream and butter. We were pleasantly surprised overall. read more

Meo Mio's - 12 oz ribeye - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Bath Springs, Tennessee

Waited over an hour to be seated outside. Some locals came in and got seated outside and we were told sitting outside wouldn't be an option anymore (after waiting over an hour). I guess preferential treatment because they go often? Once we got sat inside, waited over an hour for our meal. We got it to go because we had already been there 2+ hrs. Do not recommend. read more

We don't typically leave negative reviews, but unfortunately our recent experience was disappointing from start to finish. My husband made reservations two days in advance over the phone, but when we arrived, there was no record of it. We were seated in the back, which wasn't ideal but we tried to remain understanding. We started with the gator bites ($15.99), and were surprised by the very small portion -- mostly crumbs with just a few small pieces. It did not feel representative of the price. After waiting a little over an hour for our entrées, my Cajun Buffalo shrimp arrived. The flavor was very good, the portion was generous, and the price felt fair for what I received. However, my husband ordered the 1/2 lb crab legs, 1/2 lb shrimp, and fish bucket ($39.99), and unfortunately that dish was very disappointing. The crab legs were acceptable, but the shrimp were soggy, gray, and mushy in texture. He only tried two pieces because the quality was concerning. The fried fish portion was also extremely small -- three pieces roughly the size of a quarter, not even half of a fillet. Service was also very slow. After being there for about two hours, we had to go find our waitress at the bar in another room just to pay our bill. We truly wanted to enjoy our experience, but based on the food quality and service, we will not be returning. I wish I had gotten pictures. read more

The food here was very good, especially the snake bites! Clean, good ambience and friendly attentive staff.

We are local and have eaten at Meo Mio's several times and we will be back. The owner and management is very friendly now that said keep in mind in this current crazy climate we're in now especially the labor situation it could be a bit longer. As far as the food it has always been very good in a nice setting. We have never had any issues, I recommend the seafood buckets they have several to choose from and the prices certainly won't break the bank! read more

Fabulous place and works well under adversity. They had an influx of people and were short staffed but did a great job! The food was amazing and the staff was wonderful!!! read more

See all

Love this place! Best food with exceptional service anywhere near Parsons, Tn! I just wish they were opened more than 2 nights a week.

Very good place to eat great seafood in this area. One of few seafood restaurants around. We love it!

We had reservations at 8PM. They're address is wrong. They are only open 2 days a week and their kitchen is closes at 8:30 PM. After we went to their wrong address, we called and explained the issue. We asked if could come around 8:30 and just sit at the bar. They rejected us. Typical disorganized low-rent restaurant bull crap. read more

I game Meo's a 1 star, "Mr J' gave it a 3, so we settled on a 2. 'J's review: Sorry Gary, but obviously you have never had good Cajun food (rumor has it they hail from Waverly, Tn). ONE star for the beer Where to start? Red Beans...Blue Runners out of a can would have been better (hint to the chef, the celery is put into the pot FIRST, too cook down, not be in 1/2" chunks & crunchy). Cole Slaw... well, like everything else WAY too much cumin (yes folks I said cumin & oregano) in every wet dish. Yep that's Latin NOT Cajun! These guys don't even know that ALL good Cajun dishes start with the (holy) trinity..."a staple base in any Creole or Cajun cooking" (even the bad cooks know this!) Enough said, that these guys got their recipes wrong. Now let's talk price & size of dishes...anybody every order a Po-boy? Yes? So we all know that roughly 6-12 oysters usually come on that for about $8, then there's the platter which would have 8-16 oysters...well what do you think when the dish's name is Bucket of oysters...at least a dozen right? Nope! 8 overly breaded babies (but they did cook them well, still very juicy & tender). along with a way-over cooked 1/2 cob of frozen corn (sad too 'cause one thing about this area is that the corn is GREAT!), 2 boiling potatoes, Italian bread stick, 2 Tb margarine, 2Tb Thousand Island Sauce (which they called Remoulade), now envision the little thick plastic cups that Chili's gives you want mayo on the side, one had the Red Beans in (No Rice) and one had Cole Slaw. Now come on! A BUCKET for $17 ?!?, in a pasta bowl stuck in a shallow farm pan, NO Fries, No Bread (of course not, 'cause there was no oil to be sopped up!). We also tried the gumbo, which was the closest to the original, given it was overly hit w/ the cumin / tex-mex mix of herbs. Again these items taste okay, IF you like Spanish cooking (NOT Louisiana). As for the service, very young (you could tell they are going for a Joe's Crab Shack image, down to the tie dye shirts, but no personality or enthusiasm...) Hell! They know they are probably getting 10% of the bill for a tip on expensive food and are happy settling with that. In closing, I've heard that they have bands on the weekend & the place looked like it could be fun if there were more than 3 groups in the joint. However if you would like to know a comparable to this place, think of that "Cajun" place next to the bus station in Duluth Minnesota (but with airport prices & serving sizes). The one star is for the $2 draft beer, sadly, I would have liked more of those, but our waiter wasn't the sharpest tack in the box. Sorry, living close by, this review disappointed us more than you. ************ 10/7/2011 Updated review While I agree with EVERYTHING 'J' stated earlier. I feel Three Stars are appropriate. So let's say this... I am taking the fact they boast about being "Cajun" & "Authentic" out of my review. Having been to The Big Easy many times, these dishes do not compare to what the real flavors are like. So I'm just doing this write up as a basic restaurant. The food is expensive, but does have flavor. There is not much variety withing a 40 mile radius, so I'm all for this place. The service is lack luster but present. I have never been there when they were busy or had a band. My neighbors go here often, (all born in Tenn) they state the reason being half for the food & half for the music. Also, last week we shared a po-boy at Mr. Poor Boy Restaurant. It was 12" long, had 14 large oysters, dressed it cost $13.50. It was yummy! (Review by 'Mr J') read more

Meo Mio's - the front of the restaurant - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Bath Springs, Tennessee

Mio Mio's is, well, in the middle of nowhere. If you're looking for someplace to eat in this area you have very few choices. It is however, a good choice. The menu is tilted towards Cajun, but there are a number of choices that don't really have any cajun influence if that's not what you're after. The menu consists of PoBoy's, burgers, steaks, a couple of past dishes and some bucket boils. We've eaten here several times and the food and service has been solid. There is a small kids menu. They have a bar and outdoor seating, plenty of parking as well. Of note, they apparently are a bit more of a bar/nightclub sort of place on Friday and Saturday nights with live music and the like, we've never been during those times and can't comment. read more

Just passing through, and decided to try this place. Everyone in my group enjoyed their meals, but I wasn't too thrilled with the steak. It was mostly fat, but the rest of my sides and the appetizer was great! We got the spinach dip. My husband says the buffalo shrimp was really good! read more

Meo Mio's - Cajun Ribeye - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Bath Springs, Tennessee

This is a great restaurant! The service is always fast and friendly. I always get the Buffalo Shrimp platter. I've also heard from family members that the Cajun catfish is really good. I would definitely recommend eating here! read more

My husband took me here for a late lunch/early dinner last weekend. It was amazing! Being from Florida, we have not been very successful finding good seafood in Tennessee. We are not a fan of catfish! We ordered a bucket that consisted of Crab legs, Fried shrimp and Fried oysters also had boiled potatoes, corn cobs, white beans and coleslaw. Everything was delicious. We are planning to return soon to try out the Shrimp & Grits and the Crab cakes. Best seafood experience I have had in my past 20 years in Tennessee. It's out of the way, for sure, a little pricey but worth the drive and every penny of the cost! read more

I'm not the one too complain but the last time I was here the service was bad this time we had the grandson.we sat down with no silverware or plates order gator bites and drinks got within 10 minutes had to ask for plates then we fed the baby and set and watch football still no food a hour later got up asked about the order got in sorry so I lefted and never coming back read more

First time there, food was great service fast and friendly.. Will be going back soon

Heard about this place for over a year. So we went yesterday. I am not a fish eater so I ordered the steak pieces with sweet peppers over dill rice. The dill flavor has not showed up yet. Wife got the rib eye (too thin and no taste). Service was just so-so. Salad was not bad but not enough of it. No home made dressing. For 38.00 it should have been a lot better. Save gas and money and go somewhere else. read more

Great cajun fun with large menu and excellent catfish. Gumbo, jambalaya and red beans and rice are favorites and the chocolate cake makes a great end. Fat Tire on tap, nice bar and good service. You can read my full review here: http://wake3d.com/words/?p=56 read more

Mio Mios was a great concept for our area and a very anticipated eatery. The decor is great. The eatery presents well and is clean & comfortable. However, the menu lacks a good bit. And the pricing is way off for the surrounding area. The Creole & Cajun foods they pride themselves on leave u disappointed. Nothing like good Cajun or Creole cooking. read more

Horrible date night. Drove 35 miles to get there, sugar lime water served as a margarita, salad was served before appetizer, had to ask 4 times for bread and waited 1hour and 30 minutes and never got our food! There wasn't even a crowd. Never again. read more

Was very excited about this place. All reviews are great, but the greatness stops there. Had the fried crab stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer, they were still frozen in the middle. Market St. Bucket for dinner, came with crab legs which were good, boiled shrimp was ok (had no seasoning), fried oysters were straight garbage. All fried food is straight from the freezer, not good. The only thing that reminds me of NOLA are the decorations. Save your time and $, and avoid this place like the plague. read more
