Laurel Hill Grill

If you are traveling south on HW85 toward the beach- don't miss this place.

Don't be fooled by the appearance, inside that plain windowless building is some great down home country cooking, friendly service, and a very clean restaurant!

We live local- which means we live out in the country- Laurel Hill Grill is just our "place"! The great down home cooking: catfish, steaks, yummy burgers, mixed to order milk shakes, and Pizza on Wednesday nights...a huge thin crust pie with any topping is $8...you just cannot go wrong with place!

This restaurant is run by a very nice family, who treat their guests well. The service is good, fast and friendly.

For lunch- the grilled chicken club sandwich is my favorite!

I dig this place!  It's very homey, casual, the food was really good, and the service was extremely friendly.  Doesn't get any better than all that.  

We went on a Friday for dinner.  The hubby had been there one other time and liked it, so he wanted the whole family to go.  

He and I both ordered the Catfish Dinner.  Holy, loads of food!  Our dinners came with two very large pieces of catfish.  The batter was wonderfully crispy, the fish itself was nice and flaky, and overall not too greasy.  

Our dinners came with a small salad, hush puppies and a choice of two sides.  We both got the Fried Okra, which was good, and again not too greasy.  The hush puppies were really yummy.  They have little pieces of corn in them and they are not too sweet.  

The hubby got some sort of peas for his second side which were not on the menu, which is just another cool thing about they place.  They are bringing new stuff in from local farmers that isn't always on the menu.  The peas were very good.  

For my second side, I got the Sweet Potato Casserole.  It was DELICIOUS!  They give you a generous portion (thank you for that!) and it is like sweet potatoes mated with a pecan pie.  Heaven.  It is very, very sweet and I shared it with my daughter who made it disappear in about 2 minutes.  

I think our dinners were $12, which is why I chose the Moderate price range.  Most of the dinners are over $10, but you get your moneys worth!  There are a lot of things on the menu under $10 as well.

Our son ordered the steak dinner, and I didn't hear any complaints from him between mouthfuls.  

Little girl ordered from the kids menu and got the grilled cheese.  There is plenty on the kids menu to choose from and they are fairly priced.

Do be aware that they charge an automatic 15% gratuity on groups of 5 or more.  Based on the service we got, you won't mind tipping well.  Very good, friendly service.  

We will definitely be back.  Easily one of the best places we have tried since moving to this area.  And I still have a homemade Blueberry Pie in my fridge to try!

Always go in for lunch, and food is extremely good as are their many flavors of milkshakes.  Service always excellent and very friendly employees.  Also can get your fix of Tupelo Honey when its in season as they will have it at the counter, so thats cool you dont have to drive so far away to find it.  If dining there, I hope you like the color blue!  Youll know what Im talking about when you walk in.  Its a very homey feeling and welcoming restaurant.
