“First time trying out this quaint little cafe’ and I can’t say enough about our experience. It was great. Tommy, our gentleman of a waiter, was excellent. He was attentive, funny, & personable. The food was fantastic! GET! THE! FRIED! TOMATOES! Soooo yum!“

“Wonderful dining experience this evening! Staff was friendly and professional. My fiance enjoyed his salad from the neat and tidy salad bar, my off-menu request of the Spud a'broc was honored and it tasted rich and comforting. My little boy loved the ice cream and the guys restocking the supplies at the drink station were so nice to him. Ladies restroom was clean with no paper on the floors and all supplies stocked. Finally, I was impressed with the young staff hustling around, getting things clean and making sure the place looked good.“

“Great buffet had a wonderful meat, vegetable and dessert variety. Food was delicious and their bottled BBQ sauce is awesome.“

“I had heard that the mermaid cafe was a nice little restaurant for the Lake Caroline neighborhood where you could get a nice hamburger. I was pleasantly surprised at my culinary experience. I had some of the best red fish that I have ever had and my friend said the same about the fillet. The only thing that exceeded the food was the courtesy from the staff. Highly recommend it“

“My parents, husband and myself stopped in for breakfast. We had a terrific experience. The coffee was delicious and piping hot. The biscuits were huge and quite popular at our table. We as good southern cooks can make a biscuit to be proud of and these impressed us. The scrambled eggs were perfectly fluffy and not dry. The grits were creamy and delicious. Our service was wonderful as well. A great place to eat a yummy breakfast with the people you love!“

“Definitely recommend...this place is awesome!“

“Had a girls night out and our server V was the BEST! Food was amazing as always but her service made the experience so good. She was fully attentive and we never needed to ask for a thing. Ask for her, you will not regret it! And get the triple dipper :-)“

“I ordered 2 baked potatoes today 3/25 when the young lady suggested that I wait just a couple of more minutes so the potatoes would soften more, just enough to soak in all the flavors. Well!! it was worth the minutes. My order was delicious and hot. The two ladies there today were very friendly and pleasant. Reminding me of back home in Dallas TX. I definitely recommend this location especially with these two ladies Cooking👀“

“Food was pretty good except grilled chops were tough somewhat...service was exceptional because I had a few requests..only drawback was the waitress would go away and not be seen for awhile several times which is a little frustrating when you need something but when she eventually came back she always brought whatever I asked for and extra“

“Despite having lived in MS for a considerable amount of time, neither my parents nor I had ever visited Applebee's until Saturday, August 2nd. I chose to order a chicken quesadilla and mozzarella sticks, both of which were exceedingly tasty. I am eager to return and try the Bourbon Street Steak or Strawberry Chicken Salad, along with an Oreo milkshake on my next visit.“
