33 Best American Restaurants in Jackson

“Elvie's Jackson, Mississippi I cant say enough about this place. From the time we walked in to the time we left, every staff member was extremely accommodating and obviously excited to be there. From the speciality canapés to the soft shell crab and the fluke, I was absolutely blown away. The thought and intention behind the food as well as their drinks is incredibly fascinating. Thank you to the head sous chef Dalton Ferguson for making sure everything was perfect. 10/10 If you haven’t been I promise you’re missing out.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 place has some excellent food options. The smokes are great and can never eat just one. Recently, I asked then to make me a “burger” with just meet. The patties were the buns, filled with smokes meat, cheese, bologna and bacon. This was a custom made order and they made it well!“

“food was great friendly staf.f“

“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❤️“

“Delicious food, amazing experience!! You will not be disappointed❣️“

“We order the shrimp n catfish pasta, the tougaloo pasta and the fried lobster tail. Everything was good but the lobster tail isnt worth $18.00 for size of it n it didn't come with anything else. Y'all need to fix that. My daughter has austism n that's the only thing she eats from there. I'm not going lie the food was very good n fresh n the owner is very nice n honest.. Do I recommend y'all to go yass. By the way this the one on North State Street.“

“I had a great experience at Deja Brew Bistro. The food was amazing—fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Cynthia and LeeLee provided excellent service and were very friendly and welcoming. They really made the visit enjoyable. I’ll definitely be back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I just want to thank the Chef at the Westin for preparing a wonderful meal to take to my room. I’m from the South and I know Cornbread, Catfish, and Gumbo. Catfish was excellent, and the Gumbo was actually scooped out from the bottom of the pot for my “to go” order. Too much to eat, although I enjoyed it thoroughly. I would recommend this restaurant to the locals in the Jackson area.“
