My husband and I ate lunch here on our way down to the Gulf Coast. I had the Quiche Lorraine with cheese grits and butter beans and a cornbread muffin. My husband had the shrimp and grits. I was surprised when the orders arrived to see that the grits were dark orange in color. It says on the menu that they're made with Cheddar and Fontina cheese. Cheddar is dark yellow and Fontina is a pale creamy color so I couldn't figure out why they were that color and after tasting them, to me it tasted like they had tomato sauce or juice in them. They weren't bad tasting, just different than what I expected. The quiche was just okay; it did not taste like it was freshly made to me. The butter beans, cornbread muffin (a sweet version) and tea were all good. My hubby said his shrimp and grits were good, too, and it had smoked sausage in it rather than ham like the menu says. The restaurant looks and smells old--not a bad smell, just an old smell which is to be expected in a building that's over 150 years old. The service was very good and we did enjoy our lunch. I've eaten there 3 times now, so I think that's enough for me! read more

Not impressed with the food. Interesting old building though. For the price I think I could have gotten way better food someplace else. Service was fine, food not so much. read more

We've always wanted to eat at Weimann's but never had the time, well that changed today. We stopped in after lunch, was seated immediately and greeted by Mystic our server, she was great answering questions and making suggestions. I order the ribeye medium rare, with side salad and sweet potatoes. The steak was cooked spot on and was tender and flavorful, the sweet potatoes were great. DH order the special of chopped sirloin w/ mushroom gravy, side salad and mashed potatoes. He said his chopped sirloin was great along with the mashed potatoes with mushroom gravy. We splurged and ordered dessert, I had the Black Bottom Pie, all I have to say is save room for a slice of this pie, it does not disappoint, DH had the Almond Lemon Pie, this pie wasn't a in your face lemon pie like most restaurants, it is a mild lemon taster. We both agreed our meal was well worth the wait and our server (Mystic) could the teach classes on serving the public. We will be back. read more

I just want to start this by prefacing that I'm a total history nerd when it comes to restaurants. I want to go to the old, long running places and just take it all in. I get so dang excited about it. I've been wanting to check this place out for years and finally did recently. I had no idea how HUGE this place is! First floor has a main dining room, bar and likely private rooms. But that's not all! They also have an upstairs bar with balcony and more private dining rooms! I sat at the upstairs bar, which is not the norm for me but there were beyond staffed and I was the only one there at the time. I came on a weekend around lunchtime so they were serving their brunch menu. I had a hard time deciding what I was going to have but opted to start with the fried green tomatoes 1870. Let me tell you, the portions were MASSIVE. It was so delicious as well. I wanted to explore the menu more but I just didn't have the capacity to do it. It kind of bummed me out! I ended my meal with their peanut butter pie and holy cow! It was one of the best ones. So thick and rich and sinful. I cannot WAIT! To come back! read more

One of the Best meals I've had this year! Can't wait to come back. Service and food was APlus. read more

This was my first time ordering shrimp and grits, I had an idea of what they'd taste like and I wasn't disappointed. There was plenty of food on the plate. The peanut butter was a nice change to what other restaurants offer. The atmosphere is extremely nice. Love the art work on the walls. My wife had the crab cakes and she to enjoyed her selection. Waitress was super, Mystic, not sure how to spell it, is her name. read more

Perfect way to experience Meridian, Mississippi. Classic downtown/smalltown restaurant of a type that most such cities used to have, but don't have now. The food is fantastic; the decor is fancy enough for a business lunch, but still comfortable enough for casual dining; there are pictures of famous Mississippi authors on the walls. A truly wonderful place. read more

Black Bottom Pie is exceptional for any family member and so hope a line of clothing items will be in kng supply.

Great atmosphere . Food is mediocre . Ive been there 5-6 times . But I cant say , I ever walked away & said that was a great meal . I keep hoping , its improved . I know its a historic building but the food will have to improve to be competitive with other restaurants . Sorry to say . But thats how I have felt . read more

Awesome place to eat or sit and have a drink. Wonderful atmosphere and amazing food!! The servers are top of the line.

Great restaurant. Comfortable southern setting, felt like we were being taken care of by people with pride in their establishment. The meals were not hurried, just at a nice pace, no rush. The food was really good and the service was excellent. We had a nice supper and then a nice breakfast two days later. The steak for supper was very nicely done, just as ordered and it was quality meat. The Bloody Mary with breakfast was nicely spiced, enough kick for first thing in the morning. read more

We stopped at Weidmann's during a road trip and had a great time. The atmosphere of the restaurant is nice with great service from all members of staff. We really enjoyed our meals (chicken salad sandwiches & crab cakes with fried green tomatoes) and were surprised to see peanut butter and crackers on the table as an appetizer (as opposed to chips & salsa, etc...) but it was good. We also enjoyed the art on the walls that was available for purchase. The town is extremely walkable which is a huge plus for when it may be busy, but it wasn't too crowded when we went. read more

Not that this place needs anymore rave reviews but here you go. We've been traveling through Meridian for years. Finally had the opportunity to stop in on a Saturday night. Made reservations online but was able to get in earlier and walked right in. We had the mufflelata, spicy crawfish pasta, and grilled salmon. All were amazing and reasonably priced for the high quality. Also had the fried green tomatoes as an appetizer - delish! But realized later that you can get them as a side to your meal. That's the way to go! Finished with the famous black bottom pie for the table and my son asked how much it was because he wanted his own. On top of the great food teh service was incredible. Highly recommended. read more

Great food and interesting history. My wife and I enjoyed an excellent dining experience here. Highly recommend

Great service greater food Do not leave without a piece of their famous "Lemon Almond Pie" or get a whole pie ! Wonderful experience read more

Bacon cheeseburger was delicious. Comeback sauce was great. They serve Mango Cart beer.

What a great place to eat. The food was amazing and the service was excellent. This is the oldest restaurant in Mississippi and there is a reason it has been open for so many years. A must try when in this area. read more

Weidmann's Restaurant - Grilled Chicken Breast - Steakhouses Near Me - Meridian, Mississippi

See all

Weidmann's reminded me of a long time favorite at home in New Orleans, Charlie's Steak House. It's not the steak, but both restaurants' legacy as a local institution taken over by new owners who carefully preserved the history while freshening up the facility, the menu, and the service. Past the historic old bar, for example, is an open window to the kitchen with new tile work and an artisanal oven that might have been a common sight in Europe in 1960, but probably not in Meridien, Mississippi. The menu has several old throwback dishes from the restaurant's long history, but also offers specials and newer items. The remoulade sauce on the shrimp was pleasant but not sharp, served on iceberg lettuce. The Felix and Gloria specials are essentially sandwich and salad combos, satisfying but not particularly remarkable (it's basically grilled swiss cheese or grilled pimento and bacon). The fried green tomatoes were prepared well, not too greasy. From my seat in the bar, the steaks and burgers on the way out to the dining room all looked great. This restaurant strives to offer more than just steaks or pasta or seafood, as better restaurants in smaller places are somewhat obligated to do. From my small sampling and observations, Weidmann's appears to be up to the challenge. The service was prompt and friendly. A neighboring table was asking for details on chicken salad, and the waiter offered to bring out a taste. (Little did she know her generous little act of kindness would be immortalized on Yelp!, but there it is.) More restaurants could use a dollop of Weidman's agreeable staff attitude. It's easy to imagine Tennessee Williams' Big Daddy Pollitt bringing the family (but not "the help") here for birthday dinners. Today the restaurant has an integrated staff and clientele, nice to see in the middle of an area famous for its not always pleasant 20th-century history. The restaurant is in the heart of downtown Meridien. There's plenty of parking in the neighborhood, as this is a typical small city downtown where so many of the enterprises have either been consolidated into bigger cities or dispersed to the strip malls on the edge of town. It's worth a moment of contemplation to stand under the fabulous neon sign and imagine downtown Meridien in its heyday. read more

Searching and searching for a place to eat on our drive from Statesboro back to Frisco, TX, Was becoming so frustrated with SO many places not wearing masks or following any type of Covid Protocol along our way to Tybee Island, Savannah and Statesboro. FINALLY a place!!! If you need a great meal, great service, interesting history, great ambiance and Covid safe, this is the place for you! Such a great experience. Will definitely stop if we are ever on this route again. Thanks for looking out for your customers! read more

A great restaurant that began in 1870 and is located in downtown Meridian, MS. Right away, as you approach the restaurant, the sign out front hints at the atmosphere inside. The walls hold many photographs of national and local celebrities who've visited the restaurant over the decades. I almost got the feeling of being in a restaurant you'd find in a 1950s movie about the uppercrust society. The host seated me right away (to be fair, this was about 6:00 on a Wednesday evening), and my server showed up shortly after I sat down. She did a great job and was very attentive. I wasn't super hungry, so I ordered a bowl of Seafood Chicken and Sausage Gumbo. Now, I'm not from Louisiana, so I have no idea if this was a "proper" gumbo, but I know that I've had it in several places in New Orleans. This bowl ranked right up there as far as the taste was concerned -- it was very good. I also had the house salad. No big surprise, just your garden-variety salad (see what I did there?!), but the greens were crisp, and the other veggies were equally fresh. For dessert I had the Caramel Custard Cup. It was a bit decadent, but the caramel seemed more like a syrup than a caramel sauce. I was expecting something like you might pour over ice cream, but that's no fault of theirs, of course. Still, as I said, delicious if not decadent. As I mentioned, the server was very attentive, and a couple of times I got a visit from a woman that I would guess was the manager. She, too, was very personable. In all, this was a great place to eat with a great atmosphere. Whether it's a date night or family dinner or a business meeting, you cannot go wrong at Weidmann's. read more

So I used to eat here all the time growing up and then somehow ended up taking a hiatus of several decades. I have fond childhood memories of what this place used to look like outside which, sadly to me, was radically changed in a "renovation" as the year 2000 descended while the inside was less unfortunately mainly changed via the interior wall decor quite a bit from what it was the last time I had dined here but the bones remain the same. The service is still fantastic while the food ranged from quite good to disappointing canned vegetables. They still start you off with a tub of peanut butter and crackers. The crab cakes were definitely not among the best I've experienced and the redfish was done acceptably while being a rather small serving compared to what I'm used to in New Orleans. Weidmann's is "famous" for their Black Bottom Pie so that is a general must do when eating at this establishment but I actually would recommend to get a Lemon Almond Pie along with it as I personally prefer that option but just get both for the full experience. Overall this is a must do just for the history and the ambiance of the joint while some of the food might be less than impressive some choices are definitely better than others. *Warning: Childhood bias still somewhat intact in this review despite the carnage of the destruction of my desire for my fond memories being fully relived again by the "renovation" sacrilege. read more

Wonderful atmosphere and incredible service! Expansive menu. It was really hard to choose no matter what you choose you have to get the peanut butter pie It was just wonderful I hope to go back in the future but don't make it to this part of the state very often read more

I had the Shrimp Ya Ya and the sauce was warm but my grits underneath weren't. The food tasted good and I would come back.

Fantastic staff first and foremost as well as comfortable atmosphere. Portobello mushroom appetizer is fantastic and Go for the crab cakes!!! read more

Party of two for lunch. Promptly greeted by a pleasant hostess and seated. Lots of history in this part of town and while obviously very old it's also very clean. Waiter took our order. We had an appetizer of lobster and shrimp spring rolls and we both ordered a ribeye steak. The spring rolls were fantastic and the sweet heat sauce was very complimentary. The server was very professional but friendly. He kept our glasses full and was incredibly attentive but did not hover over our table. Perfect blend of attentiveness and service. My steak was expertly grilled and had an excellent taste. For sides I chose a salad and fried green tomatoes. The remoulade sauce for the tomatoes was absolutely excellent. If your looking for an excellent evening of dining and atmosphere this is your place. Don't wast your time at the chain establishments. Best recommend read more

Weidmann's has been a staple in our weeks for a while! They have trivia on Tuesdays and we try to go often!! The food is NEVER a disappointment. The service is always prompt and polite!
