Tico's Steakhouse

BEST STEAK IN MISSISSIPPI. I can't even explain how amazing the meat is. The service is also excellent! 10/10 if you're looking for a good steak!

Overall 3.75 Stars
After a long flight, I was ravish for some food, so we stopped at Tico's Steakhouse for dinner. This was the first time we ate here.

Because it was a Saturday night at 7:30, the wait was an hour for a table however they were able to seat us in the bar section with about 5 tables ranging from 4-8 seats per table and several bar stools.

We were fortunate to be seated at a table in the bar area.

The building and atmosphere is more cabin rustic feeling with lots of memorabilia hanging on the walls and the light was very dim in the bar section. We had a small candle on a white table cloth table for our mood lighting. A little bit harder to view the menu so bring your phone for additional lighting. The open section of the steakhouse has more lighting. Also, the main area is quite large which can seat many people at a time however it will be quite loud when busy.

Our server had double duty as the Main Bartender and Server for all clients in the bar area. With that said, our service was somewhat spotty. Had to be patient when ordering, receiving drinks and the entrees being served. Our drinks, wine and water, was served 15 minutes, bread - 5 minutes afterwards, salad 10 minutes, then the entrees were close to 45 minutes after the salad was served.

She was very busy with one additional helper with all the tables in the bar area.

Server: 3.75 Stars - both she and the other person moved quickly and efficiently but with having only two people in the busy area they did the best they could. With that said, they were pleasant, friendly and professional.

Food: 4 Stars
All the food is à la carte.

We ordered the Filet Mignon (12-14 ounce), one side of baked potato and garden salad for our meals.

4 Stars : the salad was a mixed garden salad and was plentiful, served with blue cheese - on the side".

3.5 Stars: Though the baked potato was large and shareable, it lacked flavor to it. It was topped with bacon bits, shredded cheese and sour cream automatically. So if you don't like all the toppings, make sure the server is aware. I believe a TRUE baked Potato is potato without Tin Foil. To me, if it is wrapped then the potato is steamed in the tinfoil. What do you think?

4.25 Stars: Filet Mignon
The tenderloin was large, charred, and tender. It has a little bit of salt and pepper as the seasoning. You can truly taste the meat. We enjoyed it.

3 Stars: Price - The Steakhouse is pricey for the meal. Especially with the items as an à la carte option.

Our meal was close to $200, not including the tip for 2 people. So, if we come again, I personally would come for special occasions such as winning the "lotto", anniversary or job promotion.

Had dinner there tonight and was quickly seated. The house salad was average lettuce and croutons, no tomatoes at all. Waitress was friendly. Best filet mignon around. Onion rings were great. Waitress needs to learn to talk to you when you don't have a mouth full of food
Good experience. Fun to watch prom goers

This was my worst dining experience ever. This review could be taken as extremely picky or having unrealistic expectations - it is truly insane how horrible the food was, especially for the price.

My husband's birthday was this past Sunday - so we went to Ticos with a good friend to celebrate.
It took about 10 minutes at the hostess stand to be greeted. Once we were seated, we asked for a cocktail menu - they don't have one, but they do have wine list.

We started with the cheese sticks. It took around 45 minutes to get them. They were pale, cold, and tasted very unremarkable. Like the ones you would get in a high school cafeteria.
I order the blackened pork chop with sautéed mushrooms. My husband ordered the large filet cooked medium with a loaded baked potato. Our friend ordered the blackened pork chop with broccoli au gratin.

A picture of my pork chop and mushrooms are attached, it came undercooked - it had to be sent back. The "sauteed" mushrooms were like a soup - basically boiled? They were not good.

My husband's steak came back rare. He had to send it back. His potato was off - he had 3 bites of it.

Our friend's pork chop was also undercooked and had to send it back. The broccoli au gratin was the worst smelling and tasting thing I've ever tried in my whole life. She sent it back without a replacement.

We were sent complimentary desserts, very very sweet gesture by our waitress, but they were mediocre and tasted like the pies you can buy at the freezer section of a grocery store.

Our waitress was very kind and gave us 10% off of our tab.

I will never be back, it makes me sick how much we spent for such a disappointing experience which was meant to be a celebration.

Came here for dinner. The large filet was definitely excellent and the hero of the night--cooked to a perfect medium rare. Our server was busy but she was attentive, friendly and speedy with our drinks orders/food.

The sides, in my opinion were a little lackluster for a steakhouse and had the quality of something you'd get at chain restaurant.

Overall, it was a fine restaurant and I was not disappointed with my steak.

Great service. Ambiance was just what I needed. The food was delicious. The lobster tail is a try!

Ticos is a great steakhouse. We ordered filets and were pleasantly surprised that they were large filets. I have been to other steakhouses and the filet size have been dramatically cut back.... My favorite are the crab claws. Get them and you won't be disappointed. Be aware that you need deep pockets to eat here!

This establishment prides itself on why they are the Best in the Business. The Steaks are amazing along with everything else ,but I Love a good steak with a baked potato salad and I'm good . Enjoyed the establishment and the Staff is amazing very attentive

This is an old school steakhouse, which is a good thing in a city that honestly has mostly terrible restaurants. It may be one of the worst food cities in America. Tico's has good service, but average food for the price. I don' t mind paying $80 per person for a steak and a side, but this place underwhelms.

This place consistently brings the meat. We love that you can either dress up or dress casual and go to this amazing steakhouse and feel comfortable. Service is always top notch. Who ever manages this restaurant is very aware of what it takes to provide good service. My New York Strip was cooked to rare perfection and came out on a sizzling plate of butter. It literally melted in my mouth. This place make me want to eat steak every night......
