The Rustler

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.

The Rustler in Meridian was such an unexpected find. We were just looking for a cozy, comfortable place to relax with a few drinks and appetizers on our drive between Tennessee and Texas, and this place absolutely delivered. The crab dip was shockingly good--easily one of the best appetizers I've had in a long time. Everything came out incredibly fast, the food was piping hot, and the drinks were made perfectly. The service was some of the best I've experienced anywhere. Our waitress was attentive, genuinely friendly, and always seemed to appear exactly when we needed something without ever being intrusive. The hostess, Sims, deserves special recognition as well. She was warm, professional, and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. She set the tone for a fantastic experience. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between comfortable and upscale. It's the kind of place where you can unwind for an hour or spend the entire evening. The bar staff clearly knows what they're doing--they made every drink we requested, no matter how obscure, and the wine selection was surprisingly extensive. If you're passing through Meridian, don't overlook The Rustler. It's a true hidden gem, and I'll absolutely make it a point to stop here again every time I'm traveling between Tennessee and Texas. read more

I've traveled much of the country and have eaten at many steakhouses. I'd be hard pressed to think of a better steak than the ones I've eaten here over the years. I don't visit Meridian often (probably 2 or 3 times a year) and I don't always have the opportunity to eat at The Rustler on my visits. But I so look forward to the times I do! Four of us dinned there last night for a business meeting. The place kind of looks like a dive bar & grill on the outside and you drive through a older industrial & residential area to get there. The inside is a little dark but the atmosphere is pleasant for our purposes. The staff has always been friendly and efficient. The food has consistently been fantastic. The steaks are flavorful, cooked properly, seasoned just the right amount, and I think a little larger than indicated on the menu. Last night we opened with the loaf of warm sourdough bread that was brought to the table, followed by the barbecued shrimp and baked stuffed mushrooms, both were terrific. The shrimp wasn't exactly what I expected. The sauce was more creamy than bbq, but outstanding. My 3 dining companions all had filets while I went for my customary New York strip, cooked to a perfect medium rare. I couldn't finish it all. Great experience all around. read more

This was our first time here, and it was the best meal I have ever had in my life. Not just me, but me and my family, too! Everyone at the table was saying it before I could even say it! I was proud to have been in such good company! We had and *highly* recommend the bacon wrapped scallops, and the fried green tomatoes for appetizers. We had the petite filet Hailey, with green beans and a stuffed potato, a 16 Oz USDA prime ribeye, sauteed slices mushrooms, house salads with warm, sweet bacon dressing, chicken tenders and fries (secret kids menu, thank goodness), and for dessert, bread pudding and an oreo cheesecake slice, all huge portions. Literally everything just melted in your mouth. I cannot recommend enough. The staff was BEYOND. Just absolutely BEYOND efficient and kind. Wonderful, homegrown people in a very perfectly rustic location with a lit-up atmosphere. Just amazing. Oh! The bread and butter were even showing out, AND I had the pineapple martini with layers that look like fall candy corn, and my husband had a fantastic whiskey sour. Our little one got to blow out the ambiance tea candle on the table as we left and that was just the icing on the cake for her, lol! read more

I have always been a fan of The Rustler and the wonderful cuisine. The food has always been delicious and perfectly served. Recently, a friend and I chose to try the grilled shrimp; which was featured on Facebook. The picture presented was definitely tantalizing and warranted me wanting to visit The Rustler !!!! I wanted to see if the grilled shrimp were as delicious as they appeared....the picture did not give justice to the scrumptious taste of those grilled shrimp!!!! The entire experience at The Rustler was worth noting. The wait staff was very attentive and SUPER nice. I will definitely be returning and looking forward to the outstanding service and delicious food!!!!! Again, this is definitely a hidden GEM in the community and needs to be explored more by any individual looking for a wonderful meal and very soothe environment. read more

By far the best steakhouse in the south! I literally make my boyfriend drive up three hours from the beach so that we can eat at this quaint, yet outstanding restaurant. Coming from Pensacola, we have some great seafood and steak houses, but The Rustler still puts the best of the best to shame! If you have the pleasure of stopping in here, you will definitely be wowed by the amazing food and even better wine selection. The service was exceptional and the owner and his daughter are in house every time I am there, ensuring an amazing experience. Definitely unique and DEFINITELY worth the drive!!! You get what you pay for- and that's the best quality steak, seafood, cocktails, and service! Already planning my next trip! #mouthwatering read more

If you haven't been, you definitely should!!! I think this might just be my favorite meal I've ever eaten. The salad was a basic salad, but the star is the warm bacon dressing!!!

The bartender recommended the sautéed mushrooms to complement the steak....they were so good!!!...and btw, the steak was fabulous!! Cooked right, hot, flavorful, and super tender!!

We made the mistake of going out on Valentine's Day. Nothing had less than a 2 hour wait. I found this place on top Steakhouse's in the area. I called to find out wait time and they said no wait. We got there and chuckled because it reminded my husband and I of a local place from home and said it could be really good or really bad. Let me tell you, it was amazing. The staff was awesome and the steak was perfect. The price is a little high, $101 before tip for two meals and an appetizer and a glass of wine, but I will say it's totally worth the price. We will be going back when we come back to town next year. read more

What a superb restaurant. Easily the best food in Meridian. The staff are well dressed, polite, and very friendly. The interior intimate, rustic, and beautiful. As for the food, it was perfect. It's hard to find a proper medium-rare steak, and they delivered just that. Well done on the outside, and slightly mooing on the inside. Fresh bread was brought to us almost immediately and our water glasses were never empty. The perfect location for a date or an excuse to dress in your best clothes. I will definitely be going back again very soon. read more

My husband and I had a great time here. It's in an out of the way location in Meridian, but the food and the service were both excellent. I had a filet and he had a strip steak-both cooked perfectly, and had great flavor. The portions were large, which is a good thing because it was kind of pricey. But both meals included salad, a vegetable and a potato, and they give you bread as soon as you sit down. So it's definitely worth it! They also have a full bar, and a good selection of wine and beer. We had a really good bottle of red wine read more

The building is a converted/expanded service station. The general dining area is one large room with picnic style tables and benches. Hush puppies (both hot and mild) and cole slaw are spontaneously delivered to each table even before orders are taken. The servers are prompt and friendly and given the dynamic of the rural community are often personally known to the diners. In that same vein, I don't remember a time that I have ever been there when at least a few of the family members I was with didn't know at least a few of the other customers there. Visiting between tables is common. That having been said, newcomers are absolutely welcomed. The fare is what you would expect of an inland southern fish camp: lots of fresh catfish prepared in a variety of ways and shrimp, oysters, and crab (unfortunately, all frozen) up from the Gulf. All of it tends to be breaded and/or deep fried. There is also a grilled chicken option, a hamburger steak option, and two ribeye steak options, all with appropriate sides. My understanding is that the Okatibbee Creek Fish Camp is only open for dinner and at that only a few days a week. Please call 601-737-2051 for specific information. As an uncle of mine used to say, it's so rural that it's downright local. I have no idea what anyone would be doing in that area who doesn't live there or who didn't, like me, at least grow up there; but if you should find yourself--for whatever reason--in the north end of Lauderdale County, Mississippi looking for an authentic local dining experience, you're not going to do any better than the Okatibbee Creek Fish Camp.
