32 Best American Restaurants in Jackson

“I had heard of Hal & Mal's years ago, but had never been there until today. I spotted it on Google Maps and it guided us there. Thank goodness it did because you don't find this place by accident.

It was great! I got the Commerce Classic and I was impressed. It had perfectly cooked thick cut bacon (crispy, but not overcooked), delicious cheese grits, a homemade biscuit with delicious strawberry jam, sausage, and some delicious, well seasoned roasted potatoes. I also chose for the eggs to be fried over easy and was pleased that they were not overcooked, as they usually tend to be. Plus, our server was great! It was just altogether a great experience.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly and their grilled cheese is above average.“

“My first visit in quite a while. I'm glad to report that it is still as good as ever. A bit crowded and noisy, but in the best restaurant in Jackson, crowds should be expected. They have a big and skilled waitstaff, so service was fast and pleasant.

I had the daily special, the catfish plate, which was excellent and a real bargain. A most pleasant experience.“

“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 food always good services good.“

“5 stars I highly recommend“

“I came down for a drink with a coworker and we ended up ordering food and I was not disappointed! The dip was delicious and they give you so much crab meat on top! They offer a variety of cocktails and mine was made with egg white it was so good! The restaurant is beautiful, they have the bar area, high tops, and low tables. The staff were so sweet and took time to explain the variety of cocktails to us. I even ordered some wings to go which were nice and crispy! Can’t wait to go back!“

“Anyone who graduates from Millsaps has a strong work ethic and broad background in many areas of learning. They are quick learners and reliable workers fit for any team of managers, educators, or graduate students.“

“Went to dinner and Tab Benoit concert,food& service was good,nice people,great concert,very nice staff,bar tenders, management,we had another great time!!!!“

“This place was very busy and quite lively. They have an ordering system that needs some fine tuning. You scan the QR Code and place your order, but the staff is constantly asking what your name is in order to locate your food. Perhaps the system should include a place to add your table number to make things a bit easier. Overall, the staff was very friendly and the food was good. I wish they had set more tables on the patio because it was small and crowded inside. We will certainly visit again for brunch... BTW: the fresh cut fries were delicious.“

“10/10 Food is good and looks just like the pictures. The loaded fries are LOADED!!! Steaks cooked to perfection; wings were on point and the catfish was so good.“
