Restaurants in Hattiesburg

“My husband and I had the best experience with the Staff at Benson’s Steakhouse. When we entered the Restaurant we were greeted with smiles and customer service was excellent, including the young man that was our waiter. Oh! our steaks were cooked to perfection and tender. We will be coming back. Thank You for a Great Dining Experience”

“They had very fast service, good customer enthusiasm, amazing products, and easy access using the crumbl app! And the strawberry pretzel pie cookie is a 10/10!!!”

“I LOVE this restaurant - great service and the food is amazing. Had tandoori chicken. Loved the server/bartender Savio”

“Delicious food with big servings. Nice and hospitable service!”

“I seldom post anymore, but Gary and I had such an awesome Date Night experience at a local restaurant last night that I wanted to share. Thursday night is our official date night (odd, I know, but we’re old and we usually end up eating during happy hour everywhere), and last night we decided to try Bushman Street Cafe downtown. This under the radar restaurant is a fine dining experience in every sense of the word. I was reminded favorably of Brennan’s in NOLA. The food was excellent, the service attentive and impeccable, and the ambiance was close to perfect. The only minor niggle I had was the fact that the music was a little loud for conversation between two old fogies, one of whom is quite deaf (even though he had his hearing aids on). I’m not letting that minor quibble affect my experience, though, as this seems to be universal among restaurants. I guess the marketing thought is people don’t want to talk to each other anyway? At any rate, I highly recommend Bushman Street Cafe. I feel like their marketing could use a boost, as I really hadn’t heard of it til Gary started researching a new restaurant in town. I would hate to see another local eatery bite the dust, so go partake of their excellence. You won’t regret it. #bushmanstreetcafe #hattiesburgms #eatlocal #DateNightDoneRight”

“Freshly squeezed juice and açaí bowls”

“Traveling through Hattiesburg and found your place on the internet! Glad we stopped! Very good flavorful gumbo, catfish po-boy, and fried shrimp platter. We will be back!”

“Love the workers and the food!”

“Haven't been here in a while but the food was soo good just like I remembered and the staff was extremely pleasant.

Parking: Plenty of parking easy to get in and out of”

“Everything was amazing. The service was excellent. The food was hot, fresh, & well seasoned. Highly recommend. 10 out of 10”

“Only heard about this place recently & it exceeded all expectations. 🤩 A+”

“I ordered this morning on UberEATS, and I will most definitely be ordering again. We got a Caesar salad wrap and that Mexican wrap with the street corn in it. We loved both of them, but I did notice that they were just a little dry. We had some Caesar dressing in the fridge, so it wasn't a problem at all. The flavor was great, and they gave me extra pickles when I asked. 10/10”

“Such a cute place! Enjoyed my experience 10/10. We got the mini beignets with the buttercream sauce 🤤🤤🤤”

“This place is definitely worth your time going too. The blackened Catfish and fried shrimp was delicious. The blackened Catfish was some of the best I have ever had. Service was great. It doesn't look all fancy but the food and service is fantastic”

“Breakfast, catfish and Grits, with a Biscuit and some orange juice.. huuu... man it was good.”

“Everything about our visit was top notch. Great service, Food out in perfect timing and tasted fantastic. Music and the environment was also great.... definitely recommend!”

“I eat here regularly, especially on Tuesday as their Hamburger Steak and gravy is delicious. Today I was too busy at work to sit down and eat. I called in an order and they charged me a 10% gratuity for a to-go order. I honestly believe they should have just went up on the prices a $1 on the daily menu specials then to add gratuity when they advertise a certain price. If not for that they would have a 5 star rating because the food is delicious and the service when dining-in is great.”

“Husband and I stopped in for a quick lunch. We ordered a few rolls and the gyozas. Server was super friendly and the rolls were super fresh and delicious. We will absolutely be back!”

“Veteran owned. The staff is amazing and the prices are quite fair. The bear is varied and good. Try the Hefeweisen.The axe lanes and axes are well maintained.Paking may be a little weird buy parking behind the building or the other side of Longleaf Trace should do the trick. An excellent place dor parties or relaxing after shift or on a night off. Karaoke is available.”

“Service was fantastic, and the food was hot and good! I ordered the chicken and veggies. The veggies could've been grilled a minute longer. My son ordered the steak burrito and said it was 10/10. The salsa is one of the best I've had in a resturant.”

“The rolls are pretty good and the service is relatively quick. Every time i've been there the restaurant doesn't have very many people in it so it's a relaxed atmosphere.”

“Great food, service & atmosphere!!”

“This is a great restaurant and bar for hotel guests and locals. New food and drink menu.”

“I normally order boba teas here and I love them but I wanted to try some food. They did not disappoint and I loved the spicy ramen noddles with boiled eggs. It was delicious and I would recommend. Their “very berry roll” is also very tasty.”

“My family and I flew into town from Los Angeles on 11/11/2021 and the next morning we decided grab a bite to eat at lthe Waffle House, in Hattiesburg, MS location 235. Our only expectation was to eat good food in a timely manner. However. The experience we received was hands down perhaps the best sservice we have ever recieved from iut of town. The food was just what I expected . However, the service and crew was above our expectation. They were prompt, engaging, polite, relatable and more. Our 2 year old who at times can be off and on about her eating choices determined this day she was only interested in bacon. She then adked for chips and i went to the car to get a bag of Gold Fish. Shebthen begin to song the world renowned jingle, " Baby Shark". This led to me singing along with her and soon after several other employees began doing the same. Someone began to play the actual song and from just about the whole resturant was singing along of clirse causing my daughter to become ecstatic and full of joy as she danced! This made my baby girl's day and my family as well. I must say that it's service like this that you miss when its not there and surley one you want to take with you wherever you go! If i had to sum the experience up using a simple phrase it would be one drawn from the 80's television show, Cheers! Because whether people say it or not, "Sometime, you wanna go where everybody knows your name and they're always glad yoylu came! To our server Anggela & Jerry Thank you”

“Awesome food and the service was incredible”

“My first visit to Ed's. Outstanding!! Burgers, sandwiches and fries are cooked to order, so don't be in a hurry. And you must get a milkshake too while you're there.”

“First time visiting Southern Seafood and we couldn't have been more satisfied with the freshness of the food, the flavor, the fries were on point (so crunchy), the friendly service and the cleanliness of the restaurant. The food portion was more than enough. They have severaI southern sides to choose from Drinks: I chose that Southern SWEET Tea, and it was just as I like it.

We didn't realize it until we got home. My wife called them, and they immediately made it right. I'm not complaining about the crawfish; I'm complimenting Country Time for doing the right thing, which is a rare thing nowadays. Thanks, Country Time.”

“Amazing food, super kind staff, and a clean dining area. Probably one of my favorite places! The robot waiter is pretty cool, too, but pales in comparison to the quality of the food. My wife and I are already making plans to go back.”

The chicken was a thin piece of breast that had been grilled which is what I like but it was overcooked resulting in it being dry. The green beans were undercooked. The potatoes were excellent as was the service. This won't stop us from eating at Tabella in the future but it wasn't what we have come to expect when eating there.”

“Been there twice! Fried Catfish was Xcellent! Fried Pork chop Xcelent! Healthy Portions! Worth Every Penny!”

“The music is good, but they play it way too loud. The place gets very crowded and there is limited seating. They do have a sign by the DJ booth that says no drinks on the dance floor, but I continuosly saw people taking their drinks and cigarettes on the dance floor. The dance floor is a good size, but needs to be sanded down smooth because now it is uneven and is a trip hazard. For some reason there are regularly 6 or more people moving in and out of the bar/grill area. ???”
