We had Felix's Special--Shrimp Remoulade Salad with a grilled pimento cheese and applewood smoked bacon sandwich on sourdough. Both were very good: fresh shrimp, and a well-toasted sandwich with smoky bacon and melted pimento cheese. Service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was pleasant. A solid stop if you're passing through Meridian.

Weidmann's Restaurant located in Meridian, Mississippi is Mississippi's oldest continuously…read moreoperating restaurant. Since 1870, Weidmann's has welcomed everyone from railroad workers and weary travelers to soldiers and hometown heroes, earning its place in Mississippi's history. Founded by Swiss immigrant Felix Weidmann, the restaurant opened during Meridian's rise as one of the South's busiest railroad crossroads. During World War I, the restaurant temporarily relocated to Hattiesburg to help feed the thousands of soldiers training at nearby Camp Shelby. One of its quirkiest traditions is the complimentary peanut butter and crackers brought to every table. During World War II, butter rationing led the restaurant to serve peanut butter and crackers instead. Customers loved it so much that the tradition continues more than 80 years later. In 1935, when brothers Al and Fred Key took to the skies in their airplane, Ole Miss, they weren't just chasing a world record--they were trying to save Meridian's airport from closing during the Great Depression. They spent an unbelievable 653 hours and 34 minutes--more than 27 days--without landing. They stayed aloft by pioneering air-to-air refueling techniques. Their record stood until astronauts aboard Skylab surpassed the duration in space in 1973. One of the celebrations honoring their historic flight took place right here at Weidmann's, forever connecting the restaurant to one of aviation's greatest achievements. I ordered the shrimp and grits, and they were outstanding. The shrimp were perfectly cooked, the grits were creamy and full of flavor, and every bite tasted fresh and homemade. Of course, you can't leave without trying their famous peanut butter and crackers--a tradition that's become part of the restaurant's history. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was warm and full of character, and you can tell they take pride in preserving this historic landmark. If you appreciate great Southern food and places with a story to tell, Weidmann's is absolutely worth the stop.

I sat at the bar and was greeted warmly by all of the staff members. The bartender was so kind and welcoming. I enjoyed their Easy Street gin cocktail and I ordered the yellowfin tuna for my meal. The tuna was DELICIOUS. The vibe is very calming and HG seems like a very nice place to unwind. They had a lot of regulars which is always a good sign. I can't recommend this place enough. Definitely a keeper!

My problem was with the off duty cop who was bullying patrons by showing them his hand cuffs when they were loud or taking too long to complete things like going to the bathroom or paying. The best part is that he actively threatened to call the on-duty cops. When my party did have the cops called on us, the on-duty cop APOLOGIZED for the unprofessional actions of the WaHo Security Bully. TL;DR Don't go to this WaHo late at night; not because of the patrons, food or service, but because of the Security Bully who is a total buzz kill ..... and apparently doesn't have anything better to do than get pissed off at people who like their lives more than he does.

The chicken meat was tasty, though a little salty and fresh cooked to order so that was a plus. Problem was with the unfriendly waitress, unfriendly cashier and cook. No smiling faces. No welcome to Waffle house, no friendly hello or thank you from the waitress, the cashier did manage to let out a lame "thank you". No manager was in sight. No other customers there for most of our visit until we were leaving. This is the Waffle House by the La Quinta. We probably won't go here again even though we are regulars at the La Quinta.

A midday meeting meant the dining room was calm enough for real conversation without having to raise our voices, which is a rarity during peak hours. The Classic Breakfast remains a reliable choice: straightforward, well‑executed, and consistent. Service was steady and unobtrusive, the kind of pacing that lets a group focus on the meeting without interruptions or long waits. As our group continues to grow, this spot is shaping up to be our go‑to. The combination of quiet midday atmosphere, dependable food, and smooth service makes it an easy pick for recurring meetups. Management listens to customers, refreshing!

Ambiance - A locally owned gas store / deli, you can order a variety of FRIED food, both Surf or Turf, plates, family style or a la cart. The only fresh seafood they might have is Crawfish, when in seasoned. There are three or four small tables to seat and eat. I recommend as order as takeout. Service - the staff were fast and friendly. With a steady supply of locals coming through, they ready to take your order. The deli section is stocked with a lot of fried items so you can get your food quicker. However, I would recommend to get one of their PoBoy sandwiches. You won't go wrong. You may have to wait 5-10 minutes but it worth it. Food - 4 Stars Shrimp PoBoy combo w fries and drink. $13.99 I would have given it 5 stars but the fries were overcooked and too crunchy. The quality of the potato of the fries could be better too. The bread was fluffy and toasty just as it should be for a PoBoy! The amount of shrimp was overwhelming. See pictures. The sandwhich came w lettuce, onions, pickles and tomatoes. No mayo. I ordered the 8" combo meal but they have a 6" size, if you counting your calories because your cholesterol will still be high with the amount of fried food! Oh, I forgot, they have shrimp fried rice too. So get a side order! I forgot to order mine. Bummer. Enjoy
