We had Felix's Special--Shrimp Remoulade Salad with a grilled pimento cheese and applewood smoked bacon sandwich on sourdough. Both were very good: fresh shrimp, and a well-toasted sandwich with smoky bacon and melted pimento cheese. Service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was pleasant. A solid stop if you're passing through Meridian.

Weidmann's Restaurant located in Meridian, Mississippi is Mississippi's oldest continuously…read moreoperating restaurant. Since 1870, Weidmann's has welcomed everyone from railroad workers and weary travelers to soldiers and hometown heroes, earning its place in Mississippi's history. Founded by Swiss immigrant Felix Weidmann, the restaurant opened during Meridian's rise as one of the South's busiest railroad crossroads. During World War I, the restaurant temporarily relocated to Hattiesburg to help feed the thousands of soldiers training at nearby Camp Shelby. One of its quirkiest traditions is the complimentary peanut butter and crackers brought to every table. During World War II, butter rationing led the restaurant to serve peanut butter and crackers instead. Customers loved it so much that the tradition continues more than 80 years later. In 1935, when brothers Al and Fred Key took to the skies in their airplane, Ole Miss, they weren't just chasing a world record--they were trying to save Meridian's airport from closing during the Great Depression. They spent an unbelievable 653 hours and 34 minutes--more than 27 days--without landing. They stayed aloft by pioneering air-to-air refueling techniques. Their record stood until astronauts aboard Skylab surpassed the duration in space in 1973. One of the celebrations honoring their historic flight took place right here at Weidmann's, forever connecting the restaurant to one of aviation's greatest achievements. I ordered the shrimp and grits, and they were outstanding. The shrimp were perfectly cooked, the grits were creamy and full of flavor, and every bite tasted fresh and homemade. Of course, you can't leave without trying their famous peanut butter and crackers--a tradition that's become part of the restaurant's history. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was warm and full of character, and you can tell they take pride in preserving this historic landmark. If you appreciate great Southern food and places with a story to tell, Weidmann's is absolutely worth the stop.

After looking at the website and photos, I began to wonder if we were dressed nicely enough! We made a 5:00 reservation (online), walked in at 5:02, and were immediately greeted with such a warm welcome that we instantly felt welcome. Our server recommended the pineapple lemon drop--absolutely delicious! The house salad with the warm bacon dressing was magical, and my husband loved the peppercorn ranch. Both ribeyes were cooked to perfection, the green beans were fresh (definitely not from a can!), and the mushrooms were packed with flavor. As we were leaving, we stopped to take a picture and learned that the friendly young woman who had welcomed and served us was actually the owner, Semmes. Her father purchased the restaurant in 1990, and after his passing in 2024, she proudly took over the family business. Watching her interact with every guest, it was clear she genuinely loves what she does. She was a ray of sunshine to everyone who walked through the door. I also loved seeing her dad's antique car parked outside--a sweet tribute to his legacy. If you're from the Meridian area or just passing through on I-20, do yourself a favor and stop here. Support this amazing 33-year-old female business owner--you won't regret it. -Lacie and Ryan, Texans passing through to Tuscaloosa

Wow! Superb experience and dining. Truly wonderful food…read more What can I say? It needs not a long review at all because this can be reviewed easily: Food: A+ Ambience: A+ Experience: A+ Service: A+ Every server was attentive and wonderfully welcoming, nice, and accommodating. I want people to know about this restaurant, so they make lots of money and stay here for a long time. I also want it to be just like it was tonight when I was there - Light crowd, easy going, relaxing. You can let your guard down in this place. And I just loved it. I went for the basics on my first try- Steak, baked potato, broccoli, salad. Let's focus on that steak - Petit Filet, 8oz, medium. Easily one of the best steaks I have ever had. Top 3. Great job. Well done. Keep up the good work. And may I say, Kat was a pleasure to have as a server. Thank you, Kat. And thank you as well, owner. Very good.

The tuna was DELICIOUS. The vibe is very calming and HG seems like a very nice place to unwind. They had a lot of regulars which is always a good sign. I can't recommend this place enough.

We had grabbed a few beers to entertain though there were a number of them that the keg was already tapped unfortunately.

I had gotten the grilled cheese and fries. Others had gotten burgers and chicken tenders, and there were mozzarella sticks to share. Fries came out hot which was nice, but nothing's gonna wow you on that end. Oil definitely needed to be changed though to be honest. Can be good for certain purposes, but misses on other marks.

Our server, Jamie, seemed much more focused on the booth of men nearby than on the rest of her customers. We frequently felt overlooked and had difficulty getting the attention and service we needed. As a server, it's important to provide attentive and equal service to all guests, not just a select few. I hope they tipped well with all the attention you were providing, because the rest of your tables certainly weren't receiving the level of service they deserved. Sadly, the poor service overshadowed what could have been a much better dining experience.
