Country Fried Steak
story by Carlin Duncan photos by Christopher Duncan
Some restaurants give you a pretty plate
and call it a meal. Then there are the places
that put a full-size plate in front of you and
basically say, “You better be hungry.”
That was my experience at The Garage
at Cash Alley in Ocean Springs. Walking in
feels a little like stepping inside an old-time
car garage from back in the day—but with
a modern twist. The space has personality
and a laid-back energy that makes you want
to pull up a seat, order a drink, and stay
awhile. It’s the kind of place where dinner
can easily turn into an evening with friends,
good conversation, and another round.
And then there’s the food! We started
with the Loaded Nachos, and “loaded” is
exactly right. Rosemary tallow chips are
piled with pulled pork, queso, RC Cola
barbecue sauce, onions, peppers, tomatoes,
candied jalapeños, and green onions. The
tallow chips provide a rich, savory base for

the RC Cola barbecue sauce brings a sweet
barbecue flavor. The candied jalapeños add
a sweet heat that cuts through the richness,
while the fresh vegetables and green onions
add color and crunch. This is not an
appetizer that disappears in three bites—it’s
substantial enough to make a meal out of.
The Philly Cheesesteak with tallow fries
was next. Sliced ribeye, grilled onions,
peppers, and pepper jack cheese are tucked
into a sliced hoagie roll, creating a hearty
sandwich packed with flavor. The grilled
onions and peppers complement the beef,
while the pepper jack adds a little extra
kick. The tallow fries are a perfect match—
golden, hearty, and rich enough to keep you
reaching for “just one more.”
Then came the Blue Plate Special:
Country Fried Steak, served every day.
