Huge portions are the name of the game at this unassuming roadside restaurant. In addition to po’ boys, fried rice, and lo mein, Ben’s is known for its giant seafood platter, which is so big, the to-go box has be to be held shut with a rubber band.
If it’s a hearty meal you’re after, you can’t go wrong with a visit to Roux 61. In fact, according to the eatery’s website, one of its biggest expenses is to-go boxes. And after one look at the menu, it’s easy to see why. Giant sandwiches, enormous pasta dishes, and a 22-ounce rib-eye are just a few of the oversized items served at Roux 61.
Huge doesn’t even begin to describe the portions at this Hernando favorite. Two people could easily share an order of fries and all of the shakes and malts are available in a 55-ounce version. And don’t forget about the Monster Burger, which weighs in at a whopping two pounds!
The steaks at Doe’s have received countless accolades since the eatery’s first location in Greenville opened decades ago. And while each cut is as satisfying as the next, it’s the 2-pound cowboy rib-eye that steak connoisseurs can’t get enough of.
At this Gulfport eatery, the classic sandwich gets a hearty makeover. Sure to satisfy even the biggest of appetites, the Monster Sub is piled high with meat, cheese, and your choice of toppings! Even the half-sized version, the Lil’ Monster, is gigantic.
Since opening in 1956, Bozo’s has become synonymous with two things: incredible seafood and huge portions. From po’ boys that are stuffed to the brim to oversized seafood platters, diners are practically guaranteed to leave happy and full.
Craving a burrito in a big way? Then you won’t be disappointed with a visit to Jalapeno Grill. The menu boasts a variety of classic Mexican dishes, including the Burrito Macho. The overstuffed creation consists of a 14” tortilla, which is filled with steak, chicken, shrimp, rice, beans, lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream.
Aside from being housed underneath a gigantic hoop skirt, this Natchez restaurant is most known for its tasty home-cooked fare, which includes incredible homemade pies. The pies are made fresh daily, but that’s not even the best part. It’s the size of the pies, specifically the mile-high meringue, that’s sure to catch your attention.
When craving a steak, you won’t regret a visit to this Holly Springs steakhouse, which serves up a giant 48-ounce prime rib-eye as well as a 72-ounce sirloin steak. If you feel like getting your grub on without spending a dime, attempt the Marshall Challenge. To be successful, you’ll have to scarf down a 72-ounce sirloin steak, six breaded shrimp, a loaded baked potato, salad, and bread. If you can finish it all it's FREE. If you can't finish it, though, it will cost you $99.
A small town drive-in worth seeking out, Saxon’s boasts an expansive menu of home-cooked eats and delectable sweets, including over-the-top milkshakes that make the journey to the drive-in more than worth it.
