The first time I went to the big apple was in 2003, I had never tried a pig sandwich and it was awesome. It’s down 2025 and I’m looking forward to going back there in the year of 2026 just to get that old flavor again. In my opinion, everything about that sandwich was delicious. I suggest everybody tries that eat pork.

I was in Vicksburg, MS and realized that Jackson wasn’t too far away. I had seen this place on TV years ago. I Googled “pig ear sandwich” and The Big Apple Inn came up. I had the Pig Ear Slider and it had a similar taste as the skin of your holiday ham. It was good and an experience that I will never forget, I’m glad I went to Jackson. I live 426 miles to the west in the DFW, TX area and next time I go I’ll have one of each of the sandwiches and a tamale too. (they sell those too)

This is a dive in a good way. Ordered a pig ear slider it was creamy but not much flavor but is the local favorite. The chopped sausage slider was good & spicey. The joint is inexpensive & staff was very friendly.

This restaurant is a dump. It is dirty, and it has zero customer service. There were two middle-aged women listening to loud music and sitting on a stool. Neither one greeted us or any of the walk-in customers. Even though they dragged, we were able to get our order. I know it took a minute - not sure about the cook time because I waited in the car while my husband got the order. Word of advice: Please pray before consuming this food.

It has been quite a while since I had been to Big Apple Inn, but the food didn't disappoint. Great flavor and price. I look forward to returning.

I been coming here over 40 years and yes I understand there’s a rise in prices everywhere. But I initially stated while standing in there yesterday I’ll forever come no matter what the charge is because there’s no other facility that taste like this one. However, those sandwiches have went up to $2.40 that’s fine but don’t stand there and pack your friends or relatives pig ear sandwiches with 2/3 nice fat size ears and give me a grizzle. I saw this yesterday and I didn’t want to be confrontational but when I made it home I thought about it and I don’t appreciate it. If you’re going to raise the price make sure it’s worth it and I want my other part of my pig ear.
The food was great. I haven't been to the one on Fairish St in over fifty years. I think I will be driving the extra miles from now on.

I remember Big Johns since I was in my teens, during my last three visits, the ears are under cooked. Had to throw them in the garbage. Put the ladies back in kitchen. At both locations, those men are rude and the food is horrible. Period!!

Long wait but worth it. The smokes sliders were the best I've had.
It's a historic landmark in the community.
