Food Scene
I guess the best way to describe the local food scene is as unlimited. Hattiesburg is home to two universities, and as college towns go, a host of restaurants. You will find that in addition to most of the well known chains, there are many one of a kind, unique to the area eateries such as T Bones Record Shop and Deli; and Grateful Soul. Our in house chef's love for restaurant critique makes her a valuable guide in the field of eats.
