    Birds waiting for a break to eat corn.
    Leslie T.

    Just a shake and a malt. We were able to customize our shakes. I had cherries and the chunks were too big to go through my straw. Maybe blend it longer or use bigger straws? It was delicious and very affordable! It's a favorite stop for us when we go to Hellraisers across the steeet. So sweet that the birds are feed corn kernels. The out four dinning options are smoke free!

    I was searching where we needed to visit when we came to Laurel and PDI was a definite "must"! I didn't know what to expect other than outdoor seating and burgers. The immediate parking lot is small but there's a drive through and parking across the street. There's lots of seating too. The staff was kind and professional, so service was great. Expect to wait and have your name called from the card you pay with for your order. Everything is made to order and fresh! The well dressed cheeseburger reminded me of an upgraded McDonald's burger, potato wedges were delicious and had great flavoring. The fried okra was crunchy and taste a little like green beans. The onion rings were plain but just okay. Def recommend the coke float! Delicious! I would love to come back through the weekend and try more. Ambiance was that of an old timey drive up with small town service. Loved it.

    Great place to get hot dogs, hamburgers, and shakes. Everything is cooked after you order so it is always fresh. Service was fast and friendly. Only outside seating but most people drive thru and take it with them. Prices are reasonable and lots of parking.

    On a road trip and decided to stop by Phillips for lunch. They have a nice outdoor dining area with even some corn hole to play while you wait for your food. I got a cheeseburger with a side of fries and a strawberry shake. The food was great overall, but the strawberry shake was absolutely phenomenal! The service was friendly and fast. Definitely recommend!

    An honest-to-goodness throwback to the family owned drive-ins of the 1960's! I had the jumbo cheeseburger and it was fantastic. With the burger, I had a chocolate malt. Food was prepared to order! Highly recommend.

    After all the years I have been to or passed thru Laurel, why in the world did I take so long about going to PDI? I absolutely loved it. I ordered the chili cheeseburger and fries. Wow!!! It was sooo good! Seating is outside under the canopy. This is a must when in Laurel!!

    Ironically this place made me a little grouchy waiting so long for my food.

    We waited over an hour for 3 drinks (2 were wrong) and 3 sandwiches with sides of fries. There was nothing wrong with the food. The experience was the problem. We were looking for a quick bite on our way through town on a road trip I could have been at a sit down restaurant for the same amount of time. This was around 5:15 on a Thursday.

    What a nice find in Laurel Mississippi. We are going to the Crowder concert and we're looking for a…read moreplace just to grab a drink maybe a bite to eat when we happened into 3 20 5th St. A very nice young lady agreed to sit the door. Evidently there was a cover charge to go in and see a band that was playing in the back. I have run bars, music venues for many years part of venturing onto my other occupation. Let me just throw my two cents out there... First off we were too young ladies trying to get a night cat before hitting the bed. It's not like there's a lot going on in Laurel Mississippi at 9:30 at night on a Saturday night. We went in and saw where the band was gonna be playing in a really nice outdoor seating area . The band had not started playing yet. We were just going to go take a quick look. Honestly, I'll be really wanted was a nightcap. Had I been running this facility? I would have put the covered charge desk at the other end of the bar where the exit to go to the outdoor seating area was. I think they're losing a lot of business from people who really don't have time or care to see the band. It makes sense to me. They have a great little bar that's not being utilized unless you're going to the outdoor seating area to watch the band. May want to rethink this O

    This is history in the making as my first ever restaurant review was at an Alabama Jack's when I…read morewas a little kid. They had feedback cards in those days and my feedback review was that, "Jack's is the WORST restaurant I've EVER eaten at!" I got in an adventurous mood decided to see if this recently opened Jack's had improved since the MANY years since I had last eaten at the last one. So the exterior and interior looked significantly better than any of the Jack's I've seen in Alabama. I ordered the "Big Jack" burger and told them, "absolutely no ketchup as I HATE and DESPISE ketchup!" So I was in a hurry and grabbed my food and left. When I arrived at my destination and opened the burger to eat it I very quickly discovered that this Big Jack was DRENCHED in ketchup and they left off the lettuce, tomato and cheese! The meat looked absolutely horrible while the bun looked much improved than the past example I had seen years ago. I hoped at least I could eat some French fries to at least calm my hunger down but after trying two of them I found them disgusting as they didn't seem fully cooked. So Jack's was and is the WORST restaurant I've ever eaten at!

We pulled up and the person was super enthusiastic and took our order, I will say that the pictures make the food look bigger than what you actually receive but for two burgers and a large fry it was $15.00 so the price was right compared to what we received. Food was hot and good! Service was awesome! Would return!

The two tables on either side of me had their food come out first. I was at least expecting the boneless wings so the kids wouldn't have to starve until their meals came. They ordered pizza and a burger. When the food finally came. The lettuce was wilted and severely bruised. Can I not get fresh lettuce for a salad? The pizza had lots of cheese on one side. And hardly any on the other. The server was nice but inattentive. I had to flag her down for straws, get my own napkins, and ask for a spoon for the side of applesauce. This was on a Wednesday around 2:30 pm. There were only 3 tables in the section. This wasn't a good experience, and I won't waste money with them again.
