“The food was excellent. Every dish from our table of 6 was uniquely delicious. But the most enjoyable part was the lovely, friendly staff.”
“My husband and I were in Jackson with a few hours to kill. We stopped a nice couple in Highland Village to ask where they would recommend us eating lunch. We were both very pleased with their recommendation. I enjoyed the linguine with crawfish tails on which our attentive waitress helped me decide. My husband enjoyed the carne pizza. We will definitely return the next time we’re in town.”
“Went to Saltines for lovely Monday night dinner.
Started off with some fried green tomatoes and they were absolutely amazing!
Then we continued with seafood pasta and blackfish and both were great, but nothing topped the cinnamon roll cheesecake. We absolutely loved this dessert as it provided everything you’re looking for to finish up a meal.”

“An incredible dining experience from start to finish! The food was bursting with authentic Italian flavors—every bite tasted homemade and full of love. The service was exceptional: friendly, attentive, and perfectly timed. The atmosphere was cozy yet elegant, making it ideal for both date nights and family dinners. Truly a slice of Italy right in our city—can’t wait to come back for more pasta, pizza , and tiramisu! 🇮🇹🍷🍝”
“I went with my dad for a late birthday dinner celebration. We had a fabulous waiter who was quick and efficient, the food we ordered was DIVINE, our table was involved enough in the restaurant, but quiet enough to talk. It was amazing. I cannot wait to return soon. Thank you for making this birthday so special!”

“Every Tuesday night is fabulous! Incredible jazz with the incomparable Raphael Semmes and friends, great food, terrific service, and the ambiance you’d hope for at a good jazz club: not ostentatious-just great people loving and LISTENING to sublime music. It’s like a family reunion every week for lovers of extemporaneous creative music, lasting friendships, and good solid food served by Hershey as only she can do.”
“We LOVE this cold brew! We’ve always picked some up when we go shopping for our regular coffee and it has been our GO TO afternoon summer pick me up. The last time we got some, the coffee came out tinted green. I emailed the company to let them know and received an email back very quickly assuring that it was a reaction with the old flavoring and they would send a replacement with the new flavoring they started using. It didn’t take long and we got our new coffee in the mail. And they didn’t send one but FOUR new bottles! It MORE than makes up for one oddly tinted bottle. Excellent customer service and amazing coffee”
“I love this place. The food is so good. I can truly say I am addicted. When I want something to eat, the Yaki Bowl is first on my mind. The staff are nice and the atmosphere is clean and inviting. Never have to wait long for service or food either in-house or take-out.”

“The Library is definitely a hidden gem of Jackson. McKenzie was an amazing waitress. She talked us thru all menus and gave us all her recommendations. I strongly recommend having a reservation for the best spot in the place. The food was amazing with so many different flavors. We will absolutely be returning!!!”
“This was my friend and I first time here and the service , drinks and food was awesome. Briana and Fantasy were amazing. 10/10!!!!!!!”

“The food was excellent, especially the baklava! The atmosphere is intimate and pleasant, and a little romantic. My husband and I had the lamb chops and the chicken kebab, both were great. The price was reasonable — about $45 for two appetizers, one soft drink, two generous meal plates including rice and vegetables, one Turkish coffee, and two baklavas. Very good value! We will be back.”

“I love ❤️ going to 4th Avenue lounge. The ambience is really nice and the food is very delicious. They are always changing the menu to cater to the special occasions. The bottle Girls , hookah staff , VIP staff and bartenders all go over and beyond to give you great customer service. I try to go every other weekend. I love it that much. DJS are great too.”
“Today was the 1st time I’ve been to The Manship. We sat outside as the day was overcast and comfortable temps. The atmosphere is laid back southern elegance. Lunch menu choices made it difficult to choose. We started with the seasonal cocktail, a very Manship twist on a French 75 served frozen in a coupe and garnished with a violet. This is one I hope they make a permanent part of their menu. Perfect balance of sweet/sour and delightful on the palate. Next we shared smoked tuna dip served with what I think were fried tortillas seasoned with chili lime and saltine crackers. It rivals the best smoked tuna dip I’ve ever had from along the Atlantic. For entrees we chose small plates: Manship Woodfired Oysters served with focaccia and a special of Bbq pork belly served with Brussel Sprout slaw. I am not fond of brussel sprouts & surprisingly I loved the slaw. The oysters were beautifully served in a dish that kept them warm and not overcooked. The thick slices of bread were perfect for dipping in the butter sauce used in cooking the oysters. The pork belly was so good. Just the right amount of rub and sauce cooked to tender, melt in your mouth perfection. Our server was a total pro. I feel so bad because I didn’t write down her name. My daughter who was with me once worked as a server at a restaurant much like Manship. She was very impressed because our dishes arrived in perfect order and timing. She was knowledgeable about every item on the menu. Do yourself a favor and go eat at this wonderful establishment! We will come back!”

“All the reviews said go to this place, so in our visit we did. Great Choice. I had the flounder served over spinsch with crab meat and if you like spinach, you will love this meal. My wife had the special with the Triple Tail over a sweet corn and again excellent. Maybe the freshest and best Caesar Salad I have ever had. If you are visiting Jackson, MS, do not miss this place.”

“I was kind of skeptical at first because all restaurants in a fast food chain are not the same, but the last 5 McDonald’s establishments I have visited had exceptional service. That smoky double cheeseburger with bacon is, oooh mouth drooling) a spectacular piece of culinary art.

“I have lived in Louisiana my whole life and was skeptical about Jackson’s king cakes. I have tried ones in NOLA and baton rouge and i can say Campbells king cake gets the Louisiana approval!!! I had originally place a pre order for my king cake but once I got home and cut into it I realized I was given the wrong order. The customer service there is amazing!! I went in and was able to grab another one and was given more cream cheese filling!! If you are looking for a classic king cake look no further!! I really appreciate the employees being super understanding and kind!!”
“I just want to comment. I’m one of your managers on Lakeland Drive, Dee. I called not realizing that it was a lunch crowd and explain to her that I needed some sandwich catered. Could she do it. She explained very nicely that she was in the middle of a lunch crowd, but would try her best. When I got there an hour later, my sandwiches, chips, salad, And tea or waiting for me. She is an employees. She deserves to be recognized. My name is Joyce Niskala.”
“Hubs and I were in Jackson as a stop over on our way to Texas. This restaurant was walking distance from our hotel. What a great choice!!! A throw back to another era. Good food. The vanilla shake was so very good! All good was freshly made. Staff was friendly and fast. If I’m ever this way again I’ll be coming back to Brent’s Drugs!!! Happy to support a local establishment.”
“the gentlemen at the register and the ladies in the kitchen are super nice. I wanted some soul food and that's what I got. and it was so good. I also noticed the cleanliness around the back to the kitchen. me my daughter and her dad enjoyed the vibe too. lots of love in that place.”
“super friendly staff. oysters and desserts were great. entree's could go for a little more flavor in my opinion but everyone has different opinions. the library lounge that is attached to the same hotel is very cool as well.”

“I keep coming back for the vegan smokes and Cajun fries. As for the smoothies I try something different every time because they have a good variety of ingredients to choose from but the last smoothie selected might be my favorite (pineapple base, peach, mango and strawberry fruits, kale, with coconut yogurt)”
“Fred's Soul Food Restaurant is a true gem that embodies the heart of traditional Southern cuisine. This cozy, down-home eatery is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic soul food. The moment you step inside, you're greeted by a warm atmosphere and the owner's welcoming smile, setting the tone for a delightful dining experience. The food is absolutely phenomenal, with a wide variety of options that cater to every taste. The full breakfast platter is a standout, featuring fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, cheese grits, and a perfectly cooked biscuit. The salmon croquettes and fried bologna sandwiches are also highly recommended, offering a nostalgic taste of home-cooked meals. The portions are generous, and the prices are incredibly reasonable, making it a great value for the quality and quantity of food you receive. What truly sets Fred's apart is its community-driven spirit. The staff knows many customers by name, and the friendly banter adds to the warm, family-like atmosphere. Whether you're a local or just visiting Jackson, Fred's Soul Food Restaurant is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking authentic, delicious, and comforting soul food.

“Very small and efficient family run lunch restaurant. I loved how small it was because the fan cooled the whole place and you could smell nothing but the great food. For downtown jackson the prices are good and you know they have real carribeans making the jerk because they do NOT play about the spice level. The rice n peas and cabbage make more than one meal even for a big man. Definitely worth the drive and price, so I will be back.”
“Great experience. Everything was clean and professional. Would love to see hair nets on staff… it’s so easy for hair to get into food. I would love to see your new business stay in that area. So so so so needed. Especially because it’s offering a healthy choice to our community. Thank you for choosing us!”

“The Food is AMAZING!!! The cheese burger is huge and delicious, the hamburger wraps are also humongous and delectable, the Philly pizza is the absolute best, the chipotle, lemon pepper, and buffalo wings are finger licking good, and the buffalo shrimp salad is top tier!!! You can’t go wrong with either one of these items!!! Weldon is professional and such a caring and attentive owner. Love this place❤️”
“Thank You Mackenzie and Wyvonia for an absolutely wonderful evening. You made our night extremely special. The food was wonderful, you were very attentive to our needs for such a large group. (60people)The patio was set up exactly as we expected and the service was above all expectations. We will be back!!”
“Listen... I bought three peaches yesterday. These peaches were plucked from God’s own garden and ship to 4910 I 55!! Sweet Baby Jesus!! Best produce EVER!! I wouldn’t dare buy another piece of produce anywhere else!!! 👏🏾”

“Great daiquiri drinks I highly recommend ‼️‼️‼️ Go show some love ❤️”
“Excellent late night place to grab a drink and pizza. They have a great staff, a covered outdoor patio and plenty of pub games.”
“I was living in Mississippi for a bit and was excited to see the original inventers of the charbroiled oysters out of New Orleans extend their goodness out here to Jackson!! It was great to have a taste of home right at my doorstep. Man, these kats didn't miss a beat and brought this awesomeness here to the capital city of the Magnolia State of Mississippi. It is a must to have their Original Charbroiled oysters. They are often imitated but never duplicated. This is the real deal, and that stuffed lobster is fire too!!”
“I’m usually in Jackson for events that take place at the Westin, so it’s super convenient to have a restaurant on site. I’ve had several different menu items, but the most recent was the Hanger Steak & Truffle Fries. Ok, so the novelty of Truffle Fries has dissipated, I still like them and these were pretty good. But, it was definitely the beefiness of the Hanger Steak that won the day. Cooked a perfect medium rare (sorry I didn’t photograph that but trust me). Estelle’s is a great choice for lunch or dinner in Jackson.”
“We celebrated our birthday at Fondren Taste Bar & Grill and it was the perfect choice! The atmosphere was lively, fun, and grown—exactly what you want for a birthday celebration. From the moment we arrived, the staff made sure everything flowed smoothly and helped make the night feel special. The food was amazing—full of flavor, fresh, and beautifully plated. The drinks were on point and definitely added to the celebration. The hookah was a whole vibe—smooth, long-lasting, and perfect for relaxing, laughing, and enjoying the moment together. Between the great service, delicious food, good music, and hookah, Fondren Taste Bar & Grill gave us an unforgettable birthday experience. If you're looking for a place to celebrate and have a great time, this is definitely the spot. We'll definitely be back! 🎉✨”
“It is Chili's and went for lunch. The wings are integrated into the service. That said, these are good wings. Certainly better than average and not tiny. It is a good deal on price too.”
“I’ve been here a few times. As long as it’s not packed out, the food and drinks come fast. Of course, more people longer wait times. Came for a bday brunch. I got salmon breakfast. It was cooked a lil too long for my liking but other than that I have no complaints! The music was nice, not too young of a vibe. The inside is clean and stuff is friendly.”
“Shout out to Mr. Jonathan Bailey who took extremely good care of my order today. Top tier customer service as well. He definitely made me feel very appreciated as a customer. Thanks you!!!”

“I'm a native Jacksonian, but have lived in Dallas, Texas for decades. I don't care how rude the staff is, Big John's will always be my priority stop! Those smokes are never, ever disappointing! As long as the food is delicious and satisfies my craving; that's my only concern. Always order 40 because I know everybody is going to want 2 or 3!”
“Mike and I have been there several times. Was our favorite hangout. Played cards and dominoes a lot. Haven't been there in awhile. I believe I'll stop by to say hello to some old friends and Debo. She's a really nice lady. The place is over all still my favorite place. Thank you Debo for all the great times we've had.”
“I was visiting from Chicago my brother and his wife during spring break and one of my nephews Tracy of Smith Barber College on Hosptial Dr in Jackson, MS took us to lunch, Wednesday, March 27, 2024, to Maxine’s Old Country Kitchen. The quaint restaurant is located on Macon St. Walking through the doors the ambience beckoned us in. We were greeted by beautiful wait staff serving everything you can imagine. Beef tips, smothered liver, hamburger steaks in gravy, turkey necks, baked and fried chicken, green beans, lima beans, black-eyed peas, cabbage, okra, rice and gravy, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, turnip and collard greens, yams, corn muffin, sweet potato pie, cinnamon roll and peach cobbler. I can say the food was ON POINT! Very delicious and I did not add salt or pepper. Seasoned very well. We really enjoyed ourselves and had food to take home for dinner. Also, there was sweet tea, lemonade and kool-aid to drink. I pray GOD continue to bless your business. A hidden gem~”
“I love this place. The food is so good. I can truly say I am addicted. When I want something to eat, the Yaki Bowl is first on my mind. The staff are nice and the atmosphere is clean and inviting. Never have to wait long for service or food either in-house or take-out.”

“The manager on duty was all about quality customer service! She kept her staff on their toes in a professional manner. Due to the fact that they were busy with multiple orders, the manager offered me a drink and dessert. She didn't have to do it but was appreciated. Her ability to keep up with the names of the many orders was impressive also! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾”
“The food was excellent, especially the baklava! The atmosphere is intimate and pleasant, and a little romantic. My husband and I had the lamb chops and the chicken kebab, both were great. The price was reasonable — about $45 for two appetizers, one soft drink, two generous meal plates including rice and vegetables, one Turkish coffee, and two baklavas. Very good value!

“Where do I begin? This place was my lifeline for the past 60 days. We had a child in the children’s of Mississippi hospital, and every morning they were open I would stop by and order a drip coffee and a pastry. The pastries are top tier, better than I’ve had in some renowned places. Guillermo is a true artist in every sense of the word, and it comes through in his pastries, as well as anything else he creates! Tessa is always smiling, helpful and invested. The whole team is amazing and supportive. Much love.”
“Imagine going to Jack’s for the first time and they already mess up your order.
I paid extra for add-ons and specific customizations, only to open my food and see that it was made incorrectly. I was charged for items that were either missing or done the exact opposite of what I requested. If I’m paying for bacon, cheese, and modifications, I expect them to actually be on the burger — not ignored.
This wasn’t a complicated order, and I even ordered online to avoid mistakes. Instead, I wasted money and ended up disappointed before even taking my first bite. For a first impression, this was terrible.
If you’re going to charge customers for add-ons, make sure the order is right. I shouldn’t have to double-check my food every time, especially when I’m paying extra.”
“Everything very good and great service”
