Walker's Drive In 3016 N State St, Jackson New American • $$$
3016 N State St, Jackson

“Sometimes you get good advice from a hotel bartender on local places to eat around town and sometimes you get sent to a whole shit show. This time we found a winner!! We stayed at The Westin and were down at the bar grabbing drinks before we went out for dinner. He immediately, without hesitation, not only said this was the only place we should go, he also told us exactly what server we should ask for. He said that Casey was the man who we needed to see. (This was a year ago, so I hope he is still there). Arrived to a packed house but were able to slide in pretty quickly. The place is stupid cute. It's in an old diner and all of the old feel still in it. Fine dining in an old diner. Love it. I'm not into asking for servers I have never met so we just rolled the dice. Server arrives and it's none other than our man Casey. He was pretty rad I must say. He could have owned the place with all of the pride that beamed from him when he talked about the dishes. All of the food was fantastic. Menu may have changed in a year so I won't drool on about it too much. I will say this.... We had a Dry Aged Bone In Ribeye that was the special and holy shit. My wife still says it's the best steak she has ever had. Desserts were awesome! Fried pies with ice cream and a Cinnamon Roll Tiramisu. Oh my goodness! I cannot wait to come back here! '24 - 27/100”

The Manship Wood Fired Kitchen 1200 N State St #100, Jackson New American • $$
1200 N State St #100, Jackson

“Out of town, again on business, looking for a good place to eat (and have a drink). Well, I landed on The Manship Wood Fired Kitchen. I usually sit at the bar because I'm by myself. Anyway, the bartender (Angela) is knowledgeable on bourbons (what I like). She didn't treat me like I asked stupid questions. Believe me, I asked a lot. I tried her old fashioned and Manhattan (a perfect Manhattan is what I like). Both were very good. I usually make my own at home and love them so I compare to those. They have a great bourbon/rye selection and other spirits - very extensive. I had the Fisherman's style red dish which is blacked. It comes with cauliflower. Dinner was excellent. I ordered the recommended pecan pie cobbler. I'm not a fan of cobbler. This crust is a cornbread crust. Oh my gosh. Trust me on this. (I know you don't know me from Adam to actually trust me, lol) It was amazing. If you like pecan pie and are a connoisseur of it, you will love this. I really have zero negatives about this place. Not the food or service or anything else. Everything was excellent. Visit this place if in the Jackson area. Obviously bar tenders change and so do servers but this place is worth a visit. Do it!!”

“Hospitality at its finest! Bob always takes excellent care of us! One of the few restaurants out there that treat you as if they are welcoming you into their home and treat you like a guest instead of a transaction! This type of dining experience is getting harder and harder to find these days! A true Jackson Mississippi staple!”

Aladdin Mediterranean Grill 730 Lakeland Dr, Jackson Mediterranean • $$
730 Lakeland Dr, Jackson

“Passing through Jackson enroute to the great solar eclipse of 2024 we found this little place near downtown Jackson and stopped in for dinner on a Saturday night. Seems to be popular with the locals and filled up soon after we arrived around 7p. My wife had the chicken shwarma and it was delicious. Served with pita bread, rice and a wonderful hummus. I opted for the kebab combination platter including chicken, lamb and beef and the same sides as the shwarma. Unfortunately this dish was not the same quality as the shwarma- meat was room temp and rather tough, and I had a hard time distinguishing which was lamb or beef. Notable is that they don't serve alcohol but they kindly referred me to the liquor and convenience stores next door who sell wine and beer and they happily allowed me to imbibe with no corkage fee. Would be 5 stars if not for the disappointment on the conbo plate. But definitely worth checking out for their other entrees.”

4500 I-55 N, Highland Village, Suite 244, Jackson

“The atmosphere and service at Bravo are both excellent, but I found the food to be a little lacking for the price point. We ordered the linguine with meatballs as well as the beef shoulder pasta. The red sauce was rather sweet and the beef was tough and had a well flavored but watery sauce. Overall, it’s a nice place for a date night, but I would steer away from the pasta.”

1908 Provisions 734 Fairview St, Jackson American • $$
734 Fairview St, Jackson

“The food and atmosphere was great as always. The only thing keeping me from a 5 star review was the service this visit. We got to our table at 7:00 (which was our reservation time) and didn't leave till after 10:00. We watched other tables come and go, so not sure why it was taking our service so long. Then to cap it off, we ordered a couple desserts and after waiting for them about 20-25 minutes, the waiter tells us, "I'm sorry, we won't be able to serve your desserts tonight", then just walks away, no explanation or anything. It was a really odd experience, never complained or had any issues other than waiting so long, but we were enjoying our company, so we let it go, but by the time we left, it was like, what happened and why did things take so long and what was with the desserts?”

“Visited on a quiet Sunday evening with two other couples. The restaurant had an upscale vibe to it and it's bigger than you think. Very clean and bright. It's located in the heart of downtown Ridgewood, which has a beautiful main street with lots of mom and pop shops. You have to scan the barcode on the table to see the menu for the restaurant. Very sanitary. We began our meal with two orders of the fried calamari. Not enough fish and way too many cherry peppers. A bit disappointed. Our entrees included two cheeseburgers, two black bean burgers, and a cobb salad. The cheeseburgers were thick, juicy, cooked to perfection, and most importantly, it held up well in the bun. The black bean burgers were also thick and tasty from what I was told. The cobb salad was a very generous portion. The French fries were very good. Served hot and cooked fresh. Not greasy. Nice portion. I ate all mine and some of my wife's. The service was very good and friendly. Prices were competitive for the area. There was on street parking but your better off parking in a public lot.”

The only thing was the apple alamode was not what I was expecting. The apple pie wasn't warm enough and the ice cream was soupy. We still give it an A+, 10/10. You honestly get what you paid for.

Hot wings are supposed to be red and lemon pepper more season or sauce. They had they them together. I wish I had taken a pic. The price they charge for that,which I don't mind paying, they need to do better. Music was great. I have been going to last call for years, but they need to fix that. Dj was jamming all the way around. Goodnight.”

“Awfulhouse consistently has barely edible sub par greasy garbage food at bargain prices. What the food lacks in quality is made up for in great customer service and fantastic coffee. The menu is beyond extremely easy to navigate.I really wanted to eat at the nearby IHOP but refused to wait in line forever so l came here instead.Awfulhouse is never my first choice, it's just a repetitive bad choice I keep making out of necessity. The food quality is dismal at best, but I always feel welcomed, I never leave hungry and I never feel cheated.The working restroom is always a relief while traveling on the highway.Highly recommend on the outstanding level of customer service alone.l would recommend this establishment.”

“Originally reviewed this restaurant in Google 4 years ago and gave them 4 stars. Unfortunately today I have to edit this and give them 1 - the food was ok, but the customer service was absolutely terrible! Waitress was rude, and then as soon as she brought us our plate she asked us to pay (literally as she was placing the plates on the table) I asked her why and she said because she was going on break… so basically we had no server for the rest of the time and we’re rushed to pay. Will NOT be coming to this place again and will definitely spread the word for others to do the same.”
