Just picked up 2 lunch plates to go, with 4 veggies and cornbread, no meat. I know the food is…read morepretty good, as we've eaten here before. The bill BEFORE tax was a little over $39. No drinks, 2 vegetable plates and a cornbread; basically just under $20 per plate with no drink. Outrageously expensive by any standard of meat and three place in the south. I asked about the total from the very nice employee there and she explained that there was a .50 charge per plate for to go prep and reminded me that it did include bread. She really was nice. But the price was ridiculous to me. Sorry, New's, but huge thumbs down today.

Had an awesome meal when all of my siblings gathered in Meridian for a reunion. We started with…read moreshared appetizers of fried green tomatoes and onion rings. They were excellent--light and crispy with just the right amount of corn meal for crunch. I had a vegetable plate and the others had "meat and two" featuring smothered steak, and lightly battered catfish. Dessert was delicious and homemade -- black bottom pie, lemon meringue and pecan. All food. Highly recommend.

I went in for lunch and got one of the best Reuben sandwiches I've ever eaten. While I was there, since my sandwich was so good, I decided to get a grilled chicken salad and a small container of broccoli salad to take back to my hotel for dinner. This will definitely be one of my regular stops when I'm in town for work. I highly recommend it. I will see you guys next time!

Stopped here on a drive up from New Orleans. It is a little bit of a drive from the interstate, and…read morein an extremely depressed area. It must be a rough area as well, as they have a guy standing outside the establishment with a hand cannon protecting the restaurant and the vehicles outside. All you anti-Second Amendment folks need to spend sometime here...it will become apparent why some people need guns...but I digress. I'm here to discuss the food. The catfish is excellent. Hands down the best option here. They know what they're doing with the bottom feeders. Strangely enough, the fried chicken is not. I would mark that as an avoid. And the spaghetti casserole was not bad, but not the greatest either. I'd go all in on that catfish. The sides are quite good. I highly recommend the corn, green beans, and lima beans. Those lima beans are wow! I'd love to have that recipe. Overall, if you know what to get, you'll have a great experience. Personally, I'm glad I got off the interstate and came here. This is America. Not what you see from the highway.

Jamaican music, chill vibes, open area and a good Jamaican soda. You can't go wrong!…read more Locally own and operated, the small restaurant is just across the street from the Riley Center. Ambiance: 3.5 stars There are about 10 tables seating about 2-4 and a curve bar with 5 chairs. Great music and relaxing. Having an open area could get loud when busy. Service: 3.5 stars being family own, the friendly employees will answer your questions with a smile. Self serve on the drinks from a cold glass refrig - be aware is not unlimited. Service for food: about 10-15 minutes. Food: The Jamaican Kola Champagne soda was fruity with hints of spices, making it distinct from traditional colas. It is sweet and refreshing. The cashier said the Kola Champagne is her favorite. PRO TIP: Make sure to look for 100% Cane Sugar, not the High Fructose Syrup. I ordered the Chicken Curry w Potato Salad and Callaloo (Greens) 4 Stars. Their Mac-N-Cheese wasn't ready. Bummer. The chicken was hot and steamy and fall-off- the-bone tender. The curry sauce had the Jamaican spices and the sauce had deep flavors of the seasonings. Not too spicy either. However, it was slightly salty for my taste. The cold potato salad and greens help balance the salt. Also, It is stew based dish. PRO TIP: order Rice! Get the potato salad and greens. The potato salad has large chunks of eggs, split peas, carrots. The based was mayonnaise with a hint of mustard and spices. The greens were just as good due to the Jamaican seasoning. I wish I got a side of rice to scooped up the sauce. Don't' worry, I didn't eat it all, and there is rice waiting for me at home. Dining in or out - the food are served foam containers. 1st time here and won't be the last. Will try their Jerk Chicken and Oxtails next time. Prices are higher than other places, but that is the norm due to higher grocery prices.

I did end up getting my food to go, because I wasn't hungry by the time the food got there. .... Then, after checking my credit card, I saw I had been charged twice. I checked my receipt and saw the additional charge was for a different amount. I called them the next day and explained the situation only to be told they can't do anything about it or reverse the charge on my card. All they can do is give me a -gift certificate- for the amount. I live 2 hours away. So no, I won't be coming back and I do not recommend this place!
