Restaurants in Laurel

“We stopped for lunch on our road trip. We Googled places near Laurel and Hog Heaven had the best reviews from hundreds of people. It's a little further off the hwy but absolutely worth it.
The atmosphere is fun and welcoming. The service was so friendly and efficient, and the food was awesome. Our party tried the brisket, pulled pork, chicken tenders and cheeseburger as well as a variety of different sides. Everyone enjoyed their meal.
Once hearing that it was a friend's birthday, our server quickly offered a free choice of dessert, but we were all too full from our great meal to accept.
Great place and great value.
I really can't express how much we enjoyed our experience.”

“❤️me and my family love the Last Dragon”

“As my husband and I were traveling to Laurel for work, we were looking for a place to eat. We noticed a small building surrounded by many cars and decided to stop in. We were delighted to have found a wonderful little spot with an exceptionally delicious burger. We both ordered a single cheeseburger, customized to our liking, and it was one of the best burgers I have ever had.”

“We hung out there last night.. Some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. No b.s….. truly a beautiful space and cool vibe…. The bartenders were cool and welcoming the music was AMAZING and the people were all kind interesting and authentic. I met people who displayed class, kindness, inclusion and generosity. It made me sad to leave!!”

“First place me and my husband came to when we drove into town, literally off the highway to here. Immediately became our favorite spot! Best Po Boys in town, Gumbo to warm your soul, fries are to die for and much more. Owner is the best and had my husbands order down by the third visit! lol It’s months later and this is still our go to spot since moving here 7 months ago!”

“Every grill dad thinks his burgers are the best but this was a close second. Ordered the jumbo chili cheese with chili cheese fries and I'm glad I only ordered the small fry. Big burger, messy in the best way, and delicious. Generous with the chili and cheese on the fries (I went with the nacho cheese but you can also get it with sliced American). I'm definitely gonna remember this place.”

“I don't want to not recommend this place but today was just awful. There were two tables of people there today including us so no crowd at all. We ordered 2 grilled cheese sandwiches one wrap and 3 waters. I don't know what the deal was but it took 45 minutes to receive our order. I finally walked up to check and they were just getting around to it. my son said the kid at the counter had no business dealing with customers. It was unacceptable we should have left but we had already paid and the kids were hungry. We wanted coffee but figured it was a lost cause. Thought you should know”

Eggplant sliced thin , stacked with cheeses and a good basil sauce. Hubby liked his entree, also . Had glaases of pino noir. Generous pours for $8.00. New server. Had a couple questions she couldn't answer but should have asked so she can know for other customers. She was very sweet.”

“This place is right where it needs to be. Thank your bartender and order another round for each daily special from Los Primos. It's the best Mexican in town partner. So get on down to this classic spot on 16th Ave in Laurel and have a great time. Souvenirs, soulful menu items, and all you need is at Los Primos. Ask for Mrs, Sierra at the bar, she's a keeper for sure.”

“I ordered menudo to go. Flavor was good however serving was full of hoof bones and only 6 pieces of tripe. I would recommend adding yellow hominy to the pot and send a couple warm corn tortillas along.”

A must stop by for sure if ever on 84 outside laurel due west on left. Cold freaking beer.”

“We were traveling thru Laurel and stopped to eat at a restaurant.The waitress recommended we try this bakery. The place was very clean and had a very large variety of desserts. I got the cheesecake brownie. They were absolutely delicious!! I wish I had gotten a few more. I would definitely recommend trying them to satisfy that sweet tooth. I saw they also do some savory items and a few lunch things..”

“Sabor Veracruzano is not only organized by an amazing and beautiful family; but the food there is always spot on!! The recipes are carried out with the loving and skilled hands of some very hard working, and determined women! 5 isn’t good enough for their food and service! 10/10!!!”

“Absolutely adored Fe and the team while I visited. They are amazing and made sure I and everyone else in the store at the time was very well taken care of and had everything we needed! I wish I could give 10 stars! Very clean, fast, friendly service. The food was AMAZING!!!! Ive personally never been the one to go to Papa John's, but this location just earned my business over dominios, little ceasers, and pizza hut! Great job fe and deja! Keep up the good work. Now this is what I call customer service and amazing quality!”

“This was such a wonderful stop for lunch. We went around 11:00 and had a lot of seating available then. The lady serving the food would great the patrons by name. Delicious country food. 🍱”

The only thing i dislike is their new sweet onion sause BEWARE of the new onion sause its disgusting bring back the original one!”

“Just got back. Great food, service, and clean. Reasonable priced. Would recommend pic2. My pic 2 was half green salad, half black Angus sandwich. Outstanding food. Sweet tea is a must.”

“I’ve eaten there so many times over the years I’ve lost count. Laurel has very little to choose from to begin with so it’s not like there’s any competition locally. I’ve never once got sick, the buffet hasn’t got a large selection but that’s a actually a plus. It’s always fresh. Their fried wontons are like no other in the country, I’ve never eaten one at any other place in several states that even come close.”

“Favorite coffee shop in Laurel, hands down! Wes and his crew are so friendly, and the coffee is perfect.”

“Everything they sell is good, but the queso birria tacos are my favorite!”

“We just stayed one night at Jenny's, but a perfect one night it was. The home is so beautiful - cozy and decorated perfectly. Our room (the LaPan Suite) was lovely and so comfortable. It happened that we got a good Mississippi rain the night and morning we were there and sitting on the screened porch, enjoying the rain, was dreamy. The rain broke long enough for us to walk into town for dinner, which was so nice. Then breakfast in the morning was absolutely delicious. Jenny and her husband are wonderful hosts. Highly recommend a stay there if you are visiting Laurel.”

“Don’t sleep on Classic Cookie!! We “always have and always will” order our cakes from here. My personal favorite is all chocolate icing but my sweet boy wanted a Spider-Man design and was thrilled when he opened the box to find this. It’s also not uncommon for us to swing by and grab all of the mini critters available in their case. I appreciate the owners and their dedication to this business for so many years as well as their customer service. 🍪”

“I go for the PICKLES!!!! Always professional and timely”

“A staple in my family they have improved tremendously in the past few months everyone. Go try them out!”

“In the bustling heart of Laurel, where the air is thick with the scent of adventure and the promise of tomorrow, there lies a culinary oasis, a beacon of smoky delight known as Team JD Q's Backyard BBQ. Here, the noble pursuit of the perfect barbecue is not merely a business—it's a calling.

Upon my arrival, I was greeted by the sizzle of pork, the charring of ribs, and the harmonious blend of spices that seemed to whisper secrets of ancient recipes. The staff, a crew of the most dedicated souls, welcomed me with the warmth of a long-lost friend, ensuring that my journey through their menu would be as comfortable as it was thrilling.

The pulled pork, a masterpiece of pecan-smoked perfection, fell from the bone like the petals of a blooming flower, each bite a symphony of flavors that danced upon the palate. The potato salad and baked beans, sidekicks to the heroic meats, were crafted with a precision that spoke of an unseen, meticulous hand.

Yet, not all was without fault. The brisket, though tender, whispered tales of a spice too bold, a seasoning that dared to overshadow its brethren. And the mac-n-cheese, a dish of such potential, fell short of its destiny, a reminder that even in greatness, there is room for growth.

But let us not dwell on the minor stumbles of an otherwise magnificent feast. For the steaks, ah, the steaks! They were a revelation, seared to a turn, each bite a testament to the grill's fiery heart.

“In fair praise of Chick-fil-A, I write,Whose doors on Sunday close, to much delight.For in this act, a virtue is displayed,A day of rest, in quietude is stayed.The staff, their spirits high, doth take their leave,To worship, rest, and their own kin receive.This practice rare, in commerce oft not found,Deserves applause, a principle so sound.Yet, one star less must I, in honesty, bestow,For in the chicken served, antibiotics flow.Though safety is the claim, 'tis with a sigh,I wish for fowl that ne'er such drugs did try.Thus, with respect, and yet a wish sincere,Four stars I give, with hope for change next year.”

“I get lunch at Zaxby’s in Laurel all the time. They are always quick and make my order correctly every time!

“This is the best Chick-Fil-A I have been to. I do not live in Laurel, I am 6 1/2 hours away. I drive through Laurel twice a year. coming back from Round Top, TX. Evey time, I stop at this Chick-Fil-A. The food is always good, warm, fresh. The personnel is always very professional, kind, friendly, helpful. I had the pleasure to meet the owner yesterday. I have to say she is not afraid of rolling up her sleeves. There was a lot of traffic around Chick-Fil-A and she was outside, directing traffic and bringing food to the cars of her customers to make the line flow better and faster. She was doing all this with a beautiful smile. If she remembers me (we talked about antiques at Round Top, TX), I say hi and I congratulate her for a shop so well run.”

“On a crazy busy Halloween night, a buddy and I were very impressed by our server. She was able to provide exceptional service to our table in the chaos of a full house. We enjoyed her positive spirit and helpful attention. It was really nice to meet you Olivia. Thank You!”

“Our server, Haylee, was new and sweet. She wasn't familiar with how foods were prepared so she had to ask someone else. My whisky BBQ bacon burger didn't taste right plus it was overdone. It tasted like fish. I wasn't asked how I wanted it. When she asked how the food was I told her it didn't taste right. Without question, she took it and got me another entree. Thank you Haylee.
Just a suggestion to management, make sure the servers know the me u items so the servers are better prepared.”

“This was such a wonderful stop for lunch. We went around 11:00 and had a lot of seating available then. The lady serving the food would great the patrons by name. Delicious country food. 🍱”

“If you go to McDonald's, you might want to sit in the line. They really don't pay too much attention to you inside. They rude as hell. Bathrooms be disgusting and lobby trashed because they always packed. One girl tried to help them by cleaning because she was trying to get a job there and he kicked her out and banned her from the restaurant. Management rude and bougie. . .

Parking: Around the entire restaurant
