“Our new favorite Sunday after church lunch spot! The moment we walked in the manager Robbie was very welcoming and assisted us quickly with a table. Our server John was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, as we have 2 in our family with food allergies. The food was served quickly, hot, and delicious! There are not many places we go to eat with our allergies, but we felt safe and enjoyed everything we had and will most definitely be back!!”

Health Food • $
“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”

Seafood • $$
“We recently moved to the area from StLouis and have been craving the fine dining we had available in quantity. This place foots the bill in service, food, and atmosphere. They should pay their chef double or triple, whatever it takes to keep them. Everything we had from salad through dessert was perfect in seasoning, quantity, and presentation. I don’t know of any gumbo I’ve had better than theirs. Save room for the white chocolate bread pudding for dessert. Nothing like it anywhere in the world. The wait staff is first rate in friendliness and service. Ask for Rylee if you are there on a Fri/Sat/Sun evening. She will take care of you!”

“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.”

“If y’all like to drink Long Island iced tea strong no watering like some place and charged you more money you better come here .. a little girl who can mix you drink so well and good food I had all the time is Tempura udon’s hot noodles if you love hot soup. ? always
Yea and only one server y’all have to be patient a little bit for waiting too long but she was very nice and I like to support her because she been working here for long time for hostess then she can jump up to server.
It wasn’t fair for the new worker.
Give her opportunity to do her best.”
Chicken Wings • $$
“Fairley’s wings is an absolute gem! Our waitress was so friendly and sweet, making us feel right at home from the start. The food? Incredible. The wings (especially with Patron margaritas 👌), potato skins, southwest eggrolls, and fried okra were all hits. To top it off, our waitress surprised us with complimentary chicken sticks!! Such a thoughtful touch especially when our kids were wilding out!! It’s the perfect spot when you’ve got kids in tow and still want to enjoy great food and a good drink. Quick, tasty, and served with a smile. Do yourself a favor and stop by Fairley’s —say hi, grab some wings, and thank me later! We were visiting the Lucky rabbit and it’s a 2 minute drive or five minute walk for there.”

Breakfast • $
“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”

“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. This place did not disappoint and we will be back. PS we bought fresh catfish fillets and shrimp, from their market, to cook up at home.”

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.”

Don't let the Karen's and the Chad's of the world beat you down. I definitely recommend this outback steakhouse for a great steak.”

“We recently ate lunch at Tabella. I had the lighter meal of lemon pepper chicken, garlic green beans and garlic potatoes. 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.”

Bar & Grill • $
“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. ???”
