About The Tackle Box

The Tackle Box is a seafood-focused restaurant located in the rural area of Laurel, MS. The exterior has a plain appearance, but the interior has an ambiance that almost resembles a German beer hall, though they do not serve beer or any alcoholic beverages.

The menu offers a variety of seafood dishes, including boiled shrimp, fried seafood, and all-you-can-eat catfish, which seems to be a signature item. They also serve steaks, country fried steak, and fried chicken. Some of the fried options include oysters, shrimp, stuffed crab, and chicken. Additionally, they offer a baked redfish with crawfish sauce and boiled potatoes.

The restaurant is quite popular in the area and has more variety compared to other nearby catfish-focused establishments. Customers can expect to receive coleslaw and hushpuppies as sides with their meals, though some may find the coleslaw to be too sweet and prefer a vinegar-based version instead.

While the service is praised as attentive, with drinks being refilled promptly, the portion sizes and value for money have received mixed reviews. Some customers felt the redfish dish was small for the price, while others found the boiled shrimp to be too bland. Overall, the restaurant caters well to the local preferences, but those accustomed to Creole or Cajun-style seafood may find the flavors a bit muted.
