    We happened to be driving by talking about where to stop for lunch. My wife mentioned seeing it so…read moreI made a u-turn. Upon entering, the food smelled great and the ambiance was inviting! A waitress greeted us immediately, took our drink orders and answered all our questions. The fried shrimp were delicious! I also had fried catfish, hush puppies and mac and cheese, which were all delicious. I took the fried okra which was good, but I actually like mine more crispy. The fried green tomatoes were excellent! My wife also enjoyed à their fried chicken. We were delightfully amused at the tin pic pan for plates and old tin measuring cups for the drinks. Our waitress kept our drinks full. To be honest, we were too full for dessert, but I spied peach cobbler and ice cream. As expected, it was delicious! All of the staff were very friendly and we were happy with our experience. I wished it was closer to home to try the supper buffet!

    This is giant buffet joint with an impressive selection. Unfortunately for me the food was VERY…read morebland and really had little to no seasoning for the most part to my taste. They do serve your drinks in cool metal cups to drink out of which I found enjoyable My dining group was so disappointed in the food they left a pathetic tip which I was appalled at as the servers did provide fantastic service so I went and left a proper tip after my group left. The cost for the buffet was certainly on the expensive side and I could eat exceptionally better food at most of the best restaurants in New Orleans for what my buffet experience here cost. I believe most folks from Louisiana wouldn't enjoy the really bland food here. Overall this is simply just not the best food option for me but it sure seems popular with lots of other people so maybe it will meet your flavor preferences.

    Overall 4 Stars If…read moreyou want a decent Po-Boy in Meridian, make a pit stop at Seafood Express. Get your gas and chips but you GOTTA' get their sandwiches! 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

    Came here while in MS for work based on the good reviews, and I am SO GLAD that I did!…read more The food is amazing!! The seafood is fresh and cooked on site and the sides are all homemade to perfection. I ordered the fried (you can get anything grilled as well) Catfish with gator platter to go with three sides: Mac and cheese, coleslaw and potato salad. The catfish was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft and fresh on the inside, and was fully deboned. It was also not oily at all which is surprisingly pleasant with a fried item. It had just the right amount of flavor, and was excellent alone as well as with their homemade tartar sauce. The gator was cooked well with a kind of blackened flavor and was great on its own as well, and paired well with their homemade kickback sauce. The potato salad was the most delicious I have ever had in my life! It was bursting with flavor. The Mac and cheese was so delicious cheesy and creamy and you could tell someone made it from scratch. The coleslaw was a different flavor than I'm used to but was very very good and homemade as well. For dessert I got the beignets with sugar and cinnamon on 2 and powdered sugar on one. It came with choice of sauce and I got the chocolate dipping sauce. They were fresh, just sweet enough and a perfect end to a wonderful meal. The service was excellent and friendly and I even got to try a side of their seafood/crawfish étouffée for free. The cashier was knowledgeable and gave me enough sauce for my food without me even having to ask for more. They bring your food out to your car and the wait was not long. TLDR: Amazing fresh and homemade seafood and sides at this hidden gem with excellent and friendly customer service. Will definitely be back anytime I'm in the area!

Wife and I shared a shrimp po-boy and catfish po-boy and they were great other couple enjoyed their food as well I did snag a few of my buddies onion rings thumbs up on them as well It's a counter order type deal with lots of covered outdoor seating and a nice staff to bring your food and refill your beverages Would recommend this over fast food chain without hesitation their french bread reminded me of Gambino's if it wasn't it was pretty darn close and the prices were reasonable Don't forget to tip it's hard to earn a decent living wage in small towns
