Lil Rays
500 Courthouse RdGreat Po-Boys and seafood!
This is a locally-owned Lebanese restaurant serving authentic Lebanese & Greek cuisine as well as truly delicious seafood specials & exceptional steaks. They have great service, excellent coffees and desserts... I would say it is our favorite spot. We also recently discovered they serve a killer breakfast.

Highly addictive glazed donuts.... sometimes the line wraps around the corner of the building. If you get there early enough, try the blueberry cake donut. If the line is too long, walk across the street to Phonecia for an excellent breakfast.

Easily my favorite restaurant in the area. Chef-Owner Austin Sumrall, a Mississippi native with an education spanning from Ole Miss to the Culinary Institute of America, creates a delightful menu from as many locally sourced ingredients possible. If you crave Gulf Seafood, a big steak, hand-made pasta, salad, small plates, or artichoke oyster stew with an impressive wine list and signature cocktails…. this is your spot.
Chef Sumrall has a list of accolades too enormous to include, with multiple Beard nominations and regional titles like 2021 King of American Seafood. The menu changes to fit availability, and I can find nothing I wouldn’t recommend.
Reservations recommended. Call or use the Open Table app. This place is a very hot venue for weddings and private parties, so plan ahead! Check their website for happy hour specials and entertainment events. (Whiskey Wednesday is my favorite)

This Walmart doesn't always have a lot of lines open, but then again it's nothing out of the ordinary. It's clean enough, usually well-stocked, and has a decent hot food counter with good meat pies (hard to explain).
