Where I Ate in Laurel, Mississippi

Hattiesburg residents soon will not have to travel 60 miles to Gulfport for Texas Roadhouse's hand-cut steaks and signature rolls, with the city's first location of the popular steakhouse brand scheduled to open by the end of the year.

"There has been tremendous support and enthusiasm, which we're super grateful for. It's such a warm welcome out here."
