Driving through from Shreveport to Destin and dropped by for a bite. Food and service were both fantastic!!!

Stopped for dinner on way to beach. The service was outstanding, the place was clean and everyone was very friendly. The girl that was bartending didn't know how to make a Manhattan but she looked it up and it was so good, I had two! We both had the steak bowl and it was delicious. Can't remember anyone's name but they were awesome, took great care of us and wished us a safe journey on the way out. If we are ever back in Magee we will return.. read more

We've been there a few times and the steaks are never as you order them. It takes forever, it seems, to get your order. And if you complain, they only want to take 10% or some low ball number off the price. So if you can't eat it the way it's prepared, you are taking an expensive cut of meat home to your dogs. And you're still hungry. They have a good appetizer tho, that has brisket over potatoes. Now that's good! read more

What a wonderful place! A little off the beaten path but that adds to the charm. Loved the ambiance and food. And the service was excellent too. Definitely recommend. read more

See all

Man, this place just hits right. Good food, cold beer, and that small-town feel where everyone's friendly and nobody's in a rush. The kind of spot where you walk in once and they remember you the next time. The food's always solid nothing fancy, just real good cooking that fills you up and makes you happy. Steaks, sandwiches, whatever all on point. And the beer? Ice cold, just how it should be. It's one of those places you end up staying longer than you planned because the vibe's that good. Definitely a go-to if you're local, and worth a stop if you're just passing through read more

Unfortunately we didn't have the best experience like we normally do there last night. Environment great the staff great especially with our crazy kids. Food is where the problem comes in ... I hate this happed because we come there every year maybe more on my birthday which was yesterday. The steaks were very blend (which never had happens to us it's normally the best steak ever ) the potatoes both my husband and mine burnt. The salad even tasted like it never was washed. I told our sweet waiter she took 5 dollars off very appreciated but honestly I couldn't even eat my meal because of it . So I wasted 30 dollars on food I didn't eat. My husband just bared through his food. We won't be back because of this . Sadly I had to write this because I just wanted the best for this restaurant and the community but this experience was just too shocking not to say something. read more

Unfortunately, the food was still raw. The service was slow and not friendly. There was hair in my hamburger. The ambiance is nice, typical for a ranch styled restaurant. I wouldn't recommend the food though, no refund was offered. The owner was particularly rude to me. read more

My wife and I stop in the other night for the first time, it has a great atmosphere and some unique meat cuts, but the food was great and the service was friendly and good. read more

Nice, welcoming restaurant just a bit off the highway with a fun cowboy vibe. Our waitress, Naomi, was very attentive and the food was delicious from the Cow Patty and MooMac to the steak fingers, made with locally sourced beef. Worth a repeat visit! read more

I cannot think of a worse experience I have had anywhere. Our server was clearly very new and lacked any training or education on the menu or service standards. The food was not at all as presented in the menu and half of what came out was quite literally inedible with half of our parties items being left uneaten. Having worked in the service industry most of my life, I am one of the most tolerant people you'll find but this I couldn't wrap my head around. My advice - skip it. read more

The best steak I've had at a restaurant hands down! Love they have a patio & a menu for dogs too. Highly recommended giving this place a try! read more

the waiter was amazing and she constantly checked on us!! I would definitely come here again and again.

The Cattle Drive Grill & Waterin' Hole ("CDG") has some of the worst "smokehouse" entrees we have ever eaten in Mississippi. We ordered the Bonanza Brisket Plate ("BBP") and the Ponderosa Rib Plate ("PRP"). Both the ribs and the brisket had no discernible flavor. The PRP ribs were extremely fatty and too tough to eat. Moreover, the BBP and PRP both tasted like they were cooked weeks ago and reheated to order (I can neither confirm nor deny this practice). Even though the amount (i.e., size) of the BBP and PRP was significant, the overall lack of flavor and quality of the protein does not provide customers with the overall value they deserve. Let me define value for you in this circumstance. I consider value to be composed of several factors: 1) the amount of protein or vegetables--for all of my vegan comrades--you receive; 2) the quality of the protein or vegetables; and 3) the flavor of the protein or vegetables. Each of these factors is then weighted to determine whether the dish provides sufficient overall value to the customer. After weighing each of these factors, we have determined that CDG fails to provide customers with the overall value they deserve. First, the quality of both the BBP and PRP was subpar. The meat was extremely dry/tough, likely from being reheated. Second, both dishes lacked any discernible flavor. The menu states that both dishes come with a "house[-]made BBQ sauce," but it affords CDG no relief. The "BBQ" sauce was too sweet and tasted like it was a poorly doctored ketchup product. Finally, even though the dishes provided a significant amount of protein, factors 2 and 3 significantly tipped the scales away from the customer and demonstrated an overall lack of value. In summation, the BBP and PRP proteins lacked both quality and flavor. Based on this experience, I would unequivocally not recommend CDG! read more

The stakes were at a perfect temperature and the staff was very helpful. Wonderful place in a relatively small town. Highly recommended.

Very interesting place! Learned about them from a friend's pod cast. Love the story and history of the company. Took some good friends with us and the food and staff were great. Hope to return for more. read more

The food was excellent and staff were friendly and knowledgeable! The steak (filet - medium rare) was cooked perfectly and among the most tender I have ever had! The dessert (apple wagon rolls) were simple but decadent and the perfect end to our meal. There is also a store next door where you can buy treats and food for your pets. I bought some to take home to my dogs and know they will be so excited to get them! Definitely going to return and enjoy another meal here soon! read more

Great food, too much ambient noise from the bar. Slow service on the food, great service overall. Would go back again. read more

We waited an hour before we ended up leaving. We had two small children that just could not sit any longer. It was not crowded. We were seated at an awkwardly placed table in the middle of the room. Waitresses were scooting by us the whole time. Our waitress rarely came to check on us. When my husband called after to talk to a manager, he was hung up on. read more

Great atmosphere, service and the food was delicious! I had the Gringo Burrito...tamales covered with chili. It was great! My sons had burgers and a steak. Staff was very friendly! read more

Our food was really good and my steak was very flavorful and tender! The fries were amazing and the service was even better! The atmosphere was really cool with nice lighting and decorations. read more

Thoroughly enjoyed stopping by and discovering this place! Easy to find, fun atmosphere and live music playing while we were there made for the perfect evening. The appetizer we got was amazing! It was simple and tasty with ooey gooey cheesy goodness. Our drinks were good and all the servers were so friendly. The manager/owner came by our table to talk with us for a while and you can tell she really does care and wants her customers to enjoy themselves and feel at home. We were very impressed with the local grown and local owned business model and mentality. We need more businesses like this out there!!! The steak was perfectly tender and so flavorful to say nothing of the apple dessert that had me reminiscing of days with my grandmother. To put it simply, the food is good, the people are even better, and we will definitely be back! I encourage you to give this place a try. You won't regret it! read more
