Reviews of Sawmill Family Restaurant (Restaurant)

Greg Lawton

For down home cooking, this is the spot if you are ever in Stone County Mississippi. Just off Hwy 49 south towards Gulfport, Mississippi.

TL;DR: If you want amazing American home cooking while on the road or hanging out in Wiggins, this is the place to go. Amazing service, simple, but well seasoned food, fresh ingredients, and an old-school atmosphere. Even after 5 years of going to school around and through the Wiggins/Hattiesburg area, I never actually took the time to stop off at Sawmill. But, after a tiring morning up north, I had to eat something on my way back to the Coast. After seating myself and getting my soda, I decided to check out the salad bar to start. Simple, fresh ingredients all available with small teakwood bowls like your grandmother used to have. A nice touch for a simple opening. The buffet is classic American/Cajun fare. Gumbo, red beans and rice, greens, corn on the cob, baked beans and mashed potatoes/gravy all nicely seasoned and well made. For the main dishes, the fried foods like catfish, shrimp, chicken, and hushpuppies are all crispy, juicy, and fluffy, without excess grease or sogginess. The BBQ chicken is super tasty and well worth a try. They even have simple baked or "sticky" chicken when you need to avoid the breading but still want that burst of flavor that will make you want seconds and thirds. Deserts are simple homemade cakes and puddings, but all well crafted, but not flashy; a hidden surprise. The servers and wait staff are all locals who really take care of the place, amazingly polite, always keeping the place clean and making sure everyone stays topped off and comfortable. And this buffet is more affordable than even the nicest Golden Coral or Ryan's. All in all, a perfect experience that encapsulates what's so amazing about the Deep South; great food, good times, and wonderful people.

June Whatley

Love It

Colby Broom

It was delicious, great souyhern cooking for a good price. Can't wait to go back

Charles David Huntoon

Bland, tasteless, and boring. If you are cattle and into a typical grazing style of eating, or if you are old and from a time period where spices weren't commonly used in the deep south; then this is the place for you! Typical deep southern cooking is to be found here, and as such everything is bland or cooked to mush to where it can be eaten with a spoon. Staff is friendly, but the food is just awful. Bottom line, there is more to cooking than adding butter, sugar, salt or pepper to everything.

Andrew Timberlake

Best smoked chicken around!!!

Elisabeth Dunn

I enjoyed it. It is southern comfort food at it's best. I haven't ate this good in a while. Our waitress was really good and kept our drinks filled and table clear of dirty plates. I highly recommend. I'm not just blowing smoke the food blew me away on flavor.. I look forward to to eating here again.

Roy Wilson III

Fantastic lunch! Thanks

Cindy Roberts

Was expecting real home style cooking. Wasn't expecting mediocre food. The cheeseburger tasted like it was from a frozen, highly processed patty. The best thing was the fried pickles!
