The iconic Tico’s Steakhouse in Ridgeland has long been known for it dedication to perfecting the dining experience.
Now, another city in Mississippi, Oxford, will get to experience the Tico’s way very soon.
Jackson-native Parker Guy, who will be the manager of the new location, said he and Jack Hoffman, the son of the legendary owner Tico, will be able to open along Oxford’s East Jackson Avenue on the weekend of Valentine’s Day.

Tico’s in Ridgeland has been around for nearly 30 years on County Line Road. It is always packed with lawmakers during the legislative session and die-hard fans year-round. It is also the go-to place for PGA players during the Sanderson Farms Classic every Fall just around the corner at the Country Club of Jackson.
Tico’s has long been known for sticking to what it knows best: steaks. Sure, there’s a choice of seafood and appealing appetizers and sides, but it’s the lineup of ribeyes, filets and the restaurant’s mammoth 24-ounce porterhouse that packs ‘em in.
