LP Pick 2
Family-friendly Louie's Pizza & Italian Restaurant
East Fairview Avenue

Casual Ling & Louie's Asian Bar & Grill
East Louise Drive near The Village
On the fun side of Asian dining, with wraps, bowls, and shareable plates in a colorful room. Best with a group, right after a movie in The Village.

Hibachi-style Japanese with table-side cooking that makes for an easy family night. Getting a hibachi table is half the fun.

Family-friendly Ruszoni's Pizza Meridian
North Main Street
A relaxed neighborhood pizzeria where the pies come out hot and the dining room is easy with kids. Weekday evenings are usually quieter than the weekend rush.

Date night Epi's Basque Restaurant
North Main Street, Meridian's old downtown strip
A genuinely loved local institution for Basque dishes, with big platters made for sharing and a warm, lively room. Evenings are its best time, and weekend tables go fast.

South Celebration Avenue, near The Village
A calm Indian restaurant with well-executed curries and naan served in a quiet dining room. Dinner is the right time for the full experience.

Date night Vintage '61 Wine Bar & Kitchen

These picks come from a buyer's agent who drives this part of Meridian constantly and hears straight from clients what is worth the return trip. They are honest local opinions, not paid placements. If you are looking at Jameson, I am happy to share more neighborhood tips, the current school talk, and what is actually being built nearby, with no pressure attached.
