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!

You can upgrade and add $3 for a basket of fries and a few onion rings or just onion rings. They even had homemade milkshakes.

What a nice find in Laurel Mississippi. We are going to the Crowder concert and we're looking for a…read moreplace just to grab a drink maybe a bite to eat when we happened into 3 20 5th St. A very nice young lady agreed to sit the door. Evidently there was a cover charge to go in and see a band that was playing in the back. I have run bars, music venues for many years part of venturing onto my other occupation. Let me just throw my two cents out there... First off we were too young ladies trying to get a night cat before hitting the bed. It's not like there's a lot going on in Laurel Mississippi at 9:30 at night on a Saturday night. We went in and saw where the band was gonna be playing in a really nice outdoor seating area . The band had not started playing yet. We were just going to go take a quick look. Honestly, I'll be really wanted was a nightcap. Had I been running this facility? I would have put the covered charge desk at the other end of the bar where the exit to go to the outdoor seating area was. I think they're losing a lot of business from people who really don't have time or care to see the band. It makes sense to me. They have a great little bar that's not being utilized unless you're going to the outdoor seating area to watch the band. May want to rethink this O

The building is large with very tall ceilings and a large staircase in the back that leads to an upstairs area. The menu is fairly small with options of quiche, breakfast sandwiches, and coffee options. I ordered a breakfast sandwich that was pressed like a panini with a side of fresh fruit. The sandwich was fresh tasting and the perfect amount for breakfast. My mom ordered the quiche. She reported it had good flavor but was more "wet" and not as sturdy as a traditional quiche. The coffee is freshly brewed and gave me the morning pick me up I so desperately needed. The staff were helpful and it took only about 5 minutes or so to receive our food. I love seeing the history of the buildings in Laurel. This one definitely provides plenty. There were large machinery in the front to look at as well as games.

If we're ever in the area again, I would stop and try some more of their items!

My order finally came about 10 minutes after my friends order was served, she had ordered the exact same except items, however her order came with a whole Angus club instead of the half plus the half spud. I had also ordered tea with lemon and when I glanced at my receipt I noticed it listed "extra lemon" with a price of almost $2.00 plus an added thin dill spear which I did not order at a cost of almost $2.00. The food was good but if I go back I'll have to remember to specify no dill spear or lemon and pocket the almost $4.00 rip off additional items.

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!

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.

When we walked by the smell, or better said the aroma caught our attention. We had to walk in. This is a place for meat lovers. The butcher dog is delicious and you can tell it's not processed like you're ordinary ...dog. So good! The beef jerky I took back home to CT, and it was gone within a week, so good. Wish I had bought more, but you can order online. Owners are super kind, and friendly. I believe good things are coming their way, cause it looks like they are expanding. So if you visit Lauren, visit The Knight Butcher as well, they won't disappoint.
