I have never been a rib eater due to being on a bone and fatty meat but this place has changed me. I love their ribs!!! So tender and juicy! You can order the ribs only or with two sides for the same price so I get the sides. Love the fried okra! Friendly customer service. If you have not tried this place you will not be sorry for stopping in. Enjoy!

Strick's has been around for years and is so close to the USM campus that both students and locals keep it going. In addition to various smoked meats they also have some seafood and other menu items like crawfish and poboys. Last time I was there, my wife and I shared some Swap Nachos and it was amazing. They take regular nachos with cheese, then cover it when fried shrimp, then ladle a healthy portion of gumbo over the top to add more shrimp and also sausage. It's so incredibly good with how all the flavors blend together, and quite large. My go-to order and most BBQ places is a combo of brisket and pulled pork, and Strick's does it right. The meat is flavorful with a great bark, plus they have three signature sauces to kick them up if needed. They have various standard sides like baked beans, coleslaw, potato salad, and more. Also included is a mini muffin of cornbread, and I always get the jalapeno cheese option. The inside of this place is decorated with a lot of old signage and has a very country feel that perfectly fits the laid back atmosphere and food. You can refill your own drink, which is nice, and their sweet tea is excellent.

The catfish was pretty good, loved the greens and red beans and rice. They had fresh rolls coming out and the hush puppies were delicious. The server came around with drinks and she was really nice.

Stopped here around 5:30 p.m, and got seated right away. Service was great, food was great (we both enjoyed our choices - me pulled pork tacos, husband had the steak burrito w/rice and beans. GREAT margaritas - I had the sangria marg, and I only needed one in medium size to feel the desired effects (if you know what I mean). Salsa flowed; 2nd round of chips were offered (but we didn't need more than the first batch), and overall, our experience here excellent all around in both service, and food choices and food quality. Would stop here again in the future. Highly recommend if in the mood for Mexican cuisine. Atmosphere was casual, and accommodating. No complaints.

First the negatives... main dining room has black floors, black walls and black ceiling with…read moreexceptionally BRIGHT lights creating a difficult and awkward environment where you feel like you are on a stage! 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!

Served with a horseradish sauce! Than to the gumbo with a dear rich rouge flavor and crab and shrimp (could use more crab and shrimp tho). Red beans and rice I would rate a 6. Seamed to have an off flavors. Not balanced. Drinks were decent. But dessert was the star! the Beignets were so delicate and creamy on the inside, covered in powdered sugar and fried fresh and just right. Heavenly! I highly recommend this place.
