News has an awesome Double Good and blue plate specials.

San Marcos has some of the best Mexican in the state.

Village Kitchen for a fried chicken buffet.

Stay away from anything Chinese. All of it's $$$ and not worth a 17.

Jeans Restaurant for lunch. La Piñata, Saki Sushi and Seafood Express (in a gas station on 39 next to BMW dealership) great take-out shrimp po-boys an old fashioned potato logs. The Rustler is ok for steaks, not great, though.

Can't believe I forgot to throw these in there. The Rustler, Weidmann's, or Ole Farm Beef House.

If I had to choose one I'd go with Weidmann's. Been around since the 1800's, all around great food... not just steaks.

The Rustler is the highest quality place. Great restaurant if you are trying to impress.

For fatty steak with a lot of Dale's marinade Ole Farm is your best best.

Best. Pizza. Ever. Above and beyond that - their pasta is over the top. Order the Angel hair past with meatball and Parmato - you will not regret it. All of their sauces are made in house and not from a pre-packaged sauce and the dough is made fresh and hand tossed - not pressed or rolled.

The type of place that makes me wish I was in Meridian around lunchtime more than once every few years.

for steaks. Despite what others say, Ive been there twice in the last three months and it is fantastic. Service is much better than anywhere else in Meridian. Weidmanns is good as well. And Meridian is getting a Mugshots in March if you are in the hamburger mood.

If you are in town for business the Rustler will set you back about $35 for a steak, and the Old Farm Beefhouse does not serve alcohol but price is better. If you are just looking for something quick, the po boys at the Seafood Express are the best I have found outside of Mothers in NO and you get a large and a 40 for about 8 bucks.

If Im going to pay $75 for a meal, I dont want the resteraunt to be in the middle of a trailer park. They do have good steaks though...

My vote for lunch would be News.

Apparently I was showing my *** pretty good to my mom while she was driving down frontage rd. She calmly pulls over at the Red Hot Truck Stop, yanks my *** out of the car, and proceeds to tear my *** up till I was a heaping pile of tears and snot bubbles. Needless to say, I DIDN'T have the fond memory's about the place that everyone else did.

Side note... 5th or 6th grade. My science class took a field trip in the hills behind the Red Hot. Turns out, there were thousands (maybe millions) of fossilized sharks teeth back there. I still have a jar full of them somewhere.
