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!

I don't understand how every item could be served so cold( fried liver, chicken fried steak, beans) all of it. The store front items are very cute but I came here for food, not a shopping trip. The employees were very friendly, I will say that but the question is: Would I come back or would I recommend this place...... unfortunately NO.

This is a very nice, very reasonably priced local steakhouse with excellent service. The decor…read moreneeds updating, but you can't fault the cooking. 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. This place is also very generous with fresh bacon bits - loaded baked potato, spinach salad, whatever. You won't go bacon deprived. Recommended.

Word of the moment is YUMMY! My group was hungry for good seafood, I looked in Yelp!, and BAM!…read moreThere it was! The menu was posted on the wall in organized and clear order. There were nice options for seafood - crawfish, crabs, shrimp, catfish, etc., with preparations from fried to boiled. 2 in our party shared the catfish and shrimp platter, and took some home for a late night snack. 1 shared the seafood platter and a pound of boiled crawfish. The staff at the counter assisted us, and were patient with our numerous questions. The seafood platter had a deviled crab, fried catfish, large fried shrimp, boiled shell-on shrimp, corn on the cob, boiled potatoes, fries and the choice of cole slaw or a side salad. It was delicious, and even more yummy as leftovers for brunch late this morning. I wish I could give them 10 stars!!

As odd as it may be to have two seafood places within a block of each other, one can argue that it…read morecan only be a good thing. The Wharf was doing a booming business when we were there. Fortunately, we were getting takeout as almost all of the tables were taken. Very nice crawfish po' boys with a tasty fried mushroom appetizer. A plentiful offering of diverse frozen seafood to take home if wanted.

This is the only restaurant for many miles in the immediate area. The hamburgers and fries are the…read morespecialty here and those are definitely what they do best here. The fries are good and crisp with a nice flavor while the burgers are nice sized, juicy and flavorful. I've gotten the steak they offer here and I wouldn't do so again and I highly suggest sticking with the burgers. They also have quite a selection of desserts here which are generally good but I've also had one of the worst cheesecakes I've ever had here before too as it seemed it was half cold and half hot and all blah. On my last visit I was also a bit grumpy over the fact they were out of lemons for my iced tea. As this is about the only venue in the area quite a few local characters frequent this establishment. You can definitely observe some interesting folks and hear some local dialect to give you an experience unlike anywhere else but this little corner of rural Mississippi. As long as you stick with the burger and fries you should have a fine experience here and you might even get the pleasure of meeting some really friendly people.

A country gem found by taking the path less traveled. I stumbled upon this diner/bakery while…read moredriving backroads for work. I originally stopped here because I saw sign for a bakery. Around lunchtime they serve plate lunches from their special of the day or your choice of menu items. I've been here a couple of times and they really represent country love in their food #soulfood. Traditional cooking is well represented in their bakery items as well. From pies, cheesecake, to cookies, and chess squares, their desserts reminds me of Sunday dinner at Mawmaw's. They will cater too- I haven't used them yet, but will review when I do.

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

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!
