Crema's Take

This beloved Hattiesburg institution brilliantly blends a working record shop with a cafe, creating an atmosphere where you can enjoy carefully made pressed sandwiches, fresh salads, and excellent flavored teas while vinyl spins in the background. The service is genuinely attentive and the vibe genuinely cool—locals and road-trippers alike keep coming back for the tzatziki-topped gyros, toasted bagels, and the rare experience of a cafe that actually feels like a destination rather than a pit stop. It's the kind of place that fills a void you didn't know you had: good grub, great records, and a community space that proves Hattiesburg has something special.

Locals already know about T-Bones. And a lot of folks who are frequently driving through. Delicious. This time was the plain bagel toasted for the grandchild, chicken gyro (the tzatziki sauce, mmm), and Havana ham sandwich (their take on a Cuban). Yum. The London Fog tea was light and yummy without being overly sweet.

Great selections on menu to suit all taste. The salads and pressed sandwiches are my fav but the flavored teas are excellent. Service is incredible and very attentive

It's a cool environment with occasional fun events which I appreciate. The food is good but a little pricey for what you get, but pretty much everything is now. Overall, I recommend and would definitely attend an event again. The parking lot is also a little snug on a busy day.

There is nothing else Like T-Bones!! You can fill your void with Vinyl, CDs and good grub. A unique, one-of-a-kind place local to Hattiesburg and conveniently on Hardy street heading towards the reviving downtown. You walk in to a full fledged record shop. Albums, records and music for all genres. New, used and mystery packs are available. Shop the merch; hats, T-shirts and stickers among other paraphernalia. Good sandwiches, salads, breakfast items and desserts. Order at the counter, pay, get your drink and find a table. The soothing sounds of whatever the DJ is spinning will fill your ears until your dinner is served. Today we had the club sandwich and Havana ham. It’s was toasted in a panini press, piled with the meats and dressed the way you want it. Chips, Mac and cheese or a salad. The chicken salad on croissant is good. It’s actually warmed and served with cheese. A unique experience. The cheat code here is to order the Havana Ham sandwich on a toasted croissant 🥐! The hummus is good and served with pita toasted on the flat top. Soft drinks and teas abound. Good service, good food, it’s not fast but it’s worth the wait.

Imagine if there was a place where you can have a killer lunch while listening to classic vinyl spinning in the background and being surrounded by kitschy gifts and books? Man, that would be so cool... Wait, what?... It exists?! Oh, yes it does! Let me introduce you to T Bones Records and Cafe. As soon as I walked in, I knew I was going to love this place. It's hard to be the atmosphere here. I was excited to see the unique soup, salad and sandwich options. The food did not disappoint either! Very cool spot in Hattiesburg, I'm really looking forward to my next visit!
