Ok, so with all this hubbub about Laurel, Mississippi, some folks have started noticing (especially when they get asked things by visitors like “where should we go out to eat”) that there’s not really a great source for non-natives about where to eat and what to get…
I mean, there’s technically Yelp and Trip Advisor, but they spotlight a pretty large number of chains…plus, since Laurel JUST got added to the Visit Mississippi tourism maps in 2016, our economy is pretty robust, but not really tourism-focused. (meaning that these sites haven’t gotten a ton of traffic until recently.)
Anyway, for this very reason, I’m going to be reviewing locally owned spots around and about this little town that maybe you haven’t heard of, so if you live here and are curious or happen to be stopping through, you’ll have an idea about where to go. Search my Tag “MOG Dines out” or “Dining out” to read more and please leave me a comment if there’s a Laurel place that needs to be highlighted (ESPECIALLY if you want to write the review as an MoG contributor!)
Up today, a great little spot for sandwiches, and an even better one if you need to feed your sweet tooth: Sweet Magnolia Bakery on Highway 15 N.
