Known for its Gulf-fresh seafood, Mississippi certainly excels on the surf side, but that doesn’t mean diners should look past the state’s turf dishes.

Steakhouses across the Magnolia State are celebrated for their Southern hospitality and delicious flavors, with everything cooked to perfection — from rib-eye and sirloin right down to the Texas toast.

If you’re craving steak, you’re in the right place as Yelp, an online platform for crowd-sourced reviews, just ranked the most popular steakhouses across the state.
