“Hosted a Birthday party for a large group at Eagles Nest. It was perfect. The Naeem & staff were very accommodating to our requests. Shantel & Jake provided excellent service that was prompt, patient, professional and pleasant. Always with a smile and kept the event moving smoothly. Our guests were so pleased and raved about the service, food & venue. Thank you for a wonderful experience! .“

“If you are feeling chilly in this weather shift go check out Beach Bar! Their soups are phenomenal!“

“Hands down best burger and fries I have ever eaten. We eat there A LOT! The prices are great, the owners & servers are extremely friendly. Always letting me know what and when the next special will be. Expanding their restaurant would be amazing, I’m certain that if they did it would still be just as busy! I love their rewards program, since we eat there quite a bit, we’ve saved on our bill several times. #loyalcustomer“

“If you’re looking for a place that feels like home the moment you walk in, The Deck Down Under is it! We come here at least once a week (sometimes more!), and every single visit is amazing. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious—honestly, we’ve never had a bad meal. Peggy is hands-down the BEST server ever. Her one-of-a-kind sense of humor keeps us laughing the entire time and is a huge reason we keep coming back. She makes every visit feel special. The rest of the staff is just as incredible—so welcoming, friendly, and they always go out of their way to make our family feel comfortable. They absolutely adore our kids, which means so much to us. If you want great food, great vibes, and even better people, this place is a must. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Dropped in for a late lunch on a Wednesday at Steve’s Ranch Family Restaurant in Jackson, and it was exactly what I needed after a long drive. No wait to be seated, and the vibe is super laid-back—nothing fancy, just a classic, clean spot where locals clearly feel at home.\n\nMy server was friendly and quick to take my drink order while I looked over the menu. I went with the hot turkey, and honestly, it hit the spot. The turkey was tender and juicy like it had been slow-roasted, and the gravy was rich and poured on generously—just how I like it. It tasted like something your grandma would make, in the best way.\n\nFood came out fast (maybe 10 minutes), and everything felt freshly made. I didn’t try any sides or desserts this time, but I’ll definitely be swinging back through if I’m in Jackson again. Feels like the kind of place that doesn’t try to be trendy—it just does what it does well.“

“We are from Wyoming Mi, were in Jackson for a HS powerlifting meet. Stopped by to visit a new brewery. Brittany Z was our watress and she was truly amazing, great pizza and fried pickles, and great selection of beer. Definitely visit again when in that area.“

“Excellent White Fish Dinner. Highly recommend“

“Top notch staff, robust menu and great vibes. This is a date night spot on the edge of town with all the bar amenities and fun without the downtown drama. While this isn't a "beach bar" once inside you feel like you're at an oceanside/lakeside bar.“

“A fun little bar offering pool, darts, keriokee, and great customer service. The owner is a outstanding guy and cares about his customers. There is a absolutely no fighting policy, but generally isn't an issue because it's mainly an older crowd. The bartenders are hilarious and food is super good. I recommend the chilli! All in all I've never had a bad time, and there's always fun people at CC'S.“

“Great place for eating! The loaded mac and cheese, with brisket, it usually comes with 3 slices. Well... I was recently at the restaurant, there was only one slice of brisket that came on the plate. When I inquired about there being only one slice, verses 3 slices of the same length and size, I was told that it's done by weight, and it must be a bigger piece than past times... UM WRONG... I NORMALLY GET THIS MOST OF THE TIME I COME HERE... Not a happy customer, and walked out to go somewhere else...“

“Brass Rail has new ownership which is phenomenal and the majority of the bar staff is great. There is one bar maid that believes because she is well endowed that she can speak to older people and females any which way. They need to get rid of her and it would be completely 5 stars.“

“Excellent White Fish Dinner. Highly recommend“

“Awesome job by the bartenders tonight! Haven’t been up in a couple years but I was quickly reminded that the service is top notch. I’ll definitely be back soon! Thanks Shadys!“

“We were out on the road in Michigan. We were looking for a Bob Evans and went a little out of our way and also ate a little later so we could be at a Bob Evans. I know they have a number of locations across that area but we’ve never had a bad experience at a Bob Evans. Great food, service and atmosphere. Wish they were in North Texas.“

“Good atmosphere! Great staff!“

“Our dance team just did our first groupraise fundraiser with them & the staff and management were amazing & very polite. We really enjoyed being able to do our first first groupraise fundraiser with them! :)“
