I'm from Greenville as well. Used to be a great town in the 70s and 80s.

Started a slow decline after the Air Force Base closed in the 50's. It was still a good town up until the early 1980's, but the decline was noticeable by the late 70's. It is a sad shell of a town now.

Shapley's have much better steaks. Tico's is an Ole Miss good ole boy kind of place, and the food is not as good. Mark Shapley sold Shapley's decades ago to an UNM graduate, so neither is a Bulldog place.

I know Shapley's is true maroon.
Not that it matters. Or does it?
eta....I'm sure Kobe Jones would tell you to go to Shapley's.
Shapley's is OM owned, Scott Koestler. He's a good dude, good friend, and he's an old delta boy...Greenville.

Lots of good people from Greenville. Can't leave out Clarksdale either.

Yep, my bad. Was looking at Shapley's and had Ely's on my mind. Ely's was named after Ely Shapley.

Neither will take your money if you wear shorts, heathen.

Take it to another level, Gibbs Grocery in Learned. Shorts are the norm and steaks are outstanding. Bring your own wine

I've eaten at Tico's the last two years on either mine or my wife's bday. I really like the food, but always been underwhelmed with the service. I like Shapley's, but feel like i'm eating in the dark haha.
I really wanna give Doe's on county line a shot, but want to try out the Greenville one first.

I'm also from Greenville. Here is the deal, Doe's in Ridgeland is not owned by the Greenville family. Actually, they don't even use the same recipes in Ridgeland. Also, Tico is a LSU grad (played golf there). As many dogs go to Tico's as rebs. I've worn shorts to all of them. Every time I have been to Ruth's, I have left a little underwhelmed. I would probably rank for steak
Shapley's/Ely's
Tico's
Ruth

Been there several times. Good place.
-
Been a while since I've done Shapleys, but the only two times I've eaten there have been worse than Tico's. Still solid, but TICO's was better. I rank them TICO's then I'd be indifferent between Lusco's and Doe's, then Shapley's probably, then Ruth's Chris, then Morton's although I pretty much only go to Ruth's Chris or Morton's if somebody else picks the place just because I have a hang up spending that much money at what has essentially become a chain.
I guess I need to give Shapley's another shot seeing all the opinions on here.

Really don't understand why Outback, and Western Sizzlin are not being discussed.
The jello from Western Sizz is very underrated. And Yes you can wear shorts and a wife beater too.

I grew up eating at Western Sizz on I55 North in the 80's. Those pan seared flanks were pretty good for being so damn dry.

How did Quincy's ever go out of business? YEAST ROLLS were AMAZING

I'm not going to call out posters or businesses but some of y'all are plugging (or downing) choice grade steaks in what should be a prime discussion. Some of y'all need your steak rec credentials revoked.

Tico's is the best Filet I've had anywhere, ever.
