I was about to turn onto Hwy 49 for a steak in Hattiesburg. My wife mentioned the steaks at Sam's…read morePlace were good (according to other teachers at Mize). I was skeptical but we've eaten there before and the food was good, so I figured they'd be alright. In my effort to always make her happy, we went to Mize, ordered ribeyes and then spotted a plate of fried oysters going to the table next to us. I looked so good I couldn't resist ordering some. Both were Amazing! I can't even order a steak in Hattiesburg. I keep putting it off until I can go back to Sam's Place. Plus, I have fried oysters on my mind like a song you can't get out of your head. Advice: Relax and enjoy your dinner company. It's not pre-cooked, so you'll have to wait! But you'll be glad you did.

For Mize this is one of a VERY few restaurant options in the area. It has the potential of being…read morethe best restaurant in the area except every time I've visited they seem to be out of things. So I've been here multiple times and put my order in here multiple times and it seems that every time they are out of something so I have re-order again. I can adapt and adjust for most things such as having to change to a different side (even though they seem to be out of nearly all the sides but a couple so it degrades into me having to play a guessing game of "OK so what sides are available?") and then finding out quite awhile later they are out of the entree you ordered as they are bringing food out to the other people at your table. My mom refuses to visit here anymore because of the constant required guessing game of what exactly is available to order. The final straw for me was when I got a basic burger and I told my server "I absolutely hate ketchup and mayo and I ONLY want mustard as a condiment on my burger" to then have my burger delivered and then be told they are out of mustard. Unfortunately I have had of late so many bad experiences with so many restaurants now having no mustard or only having it in the irritating little packets I now just keep creole mustard in my vehicle at all times for situations just like this. I would suggest sticking to the steak and steak tips in general here and before you even drive here I would call ahead to confirm what they have available to go ahead and put your order in to make sure they will have what you want before you make the journey to this joint. The servers are really friendly here but sometimes they are a bit on the slow side, even when nobody else is in the restaurant, so getting a refill on your drink can take longer than other places such as across the the street at The Mize Hamburger House that always has great service and always has things in stock. Overall I guess this spot is a victim of their success and I like to guess they have possibly gotten so popular they quickly sell out of items and then they are so busy the kitchen can't keep the servers updated on what is currently available. Although I've had issues even when I was the only person in the restaurant... This spot definitely has a lot of potential but I'm taking a good long break from eating here as I can't play the Russian roulette game of what is left to eat here all the time anymore. I have limited time and budget with my current work taking me to various spots so I need more reliable outcomes as I'm usually having to hurry so when I get a moment to enjoy a meal I need to NOT have to go back into hurry hurry mode because what I ordered ain't dere no more as the last one already got eaten for the day.

The best brisket in the area I've had so far is at Swamp Shack BBQ a short distance away in Ellisville, MS. They seem to often be out of things here and then they have "specials" that they are also often out of which seems to indicate they are very busy usually. This place is definitely VERY popular in the area and it tends to be VERY crowded. They sometimes serve you really huge portions and other times smaller portions. I'm a big fan of Texas style BBQ which the brisket here doesn't seem to resemble the brisket I've had in Texas. Overall it is the best BBQ in Laurel, MS and they do have a cool space which is decorated with all sorts of bling bling inside.

The inside was very nice and staff was friendly. We had to wait a bit in the beginning because no one was in the front. We were seated eventually. The steaks we ordered were huge and fairly priced. We got the 16oz Stanford Ribeye which was $32 and comes with a salad and side of your choice. We got baked potato and asparagus. The house salad was small and simple which I loved. I hate it when restaurants serve a huge side salad. The asparagus were cooked good and seasoned well, and the baked potato was pretty good as well. Both of the steaks were very under-seasoned. We seasoned a lot with table salt and pepper but it was still a little bland. The meat was thick, so that's why it was lacking in seasoning. The au jus was okay and a little bland as well. Besides the flavor, the steaks were cooked perfectly and the fat pieces were nice and buttery with the meat.
