Bully's Soul Food Restaurant

This restaurant for Good Traditional Down South Soulfood is spot on. The food is delicious and the owners are hospitable and friendly. Great atmosphere to eat with family or alone. Plenty of CIVIL RIGHTS memorabilia made me feel good.

The food was ok, a little salty but descent
I was upset with their prices. A 20 oz cup of tea was $5.50 an extra side was $4, They call dressing, sweet potatoes premium sides and they upcharge you .50 and they charge .99 if you dining in. So we sat by the bathroom the only clean table. Go figure. So a 12.99 plate of turkey wing and 3 sides 2 included if they REGULAR SIDES ended up costing me
$27.99 my lunch partner had the same thing with an Arnold Palmer and his was $30. I guess they charge for the Arnold and Palmer 🤣🤣. Im sorry I won't be Bullied again. Pun intended.

Bully’s was once a staple in Jackson and even the state. I was a youngin when I first visited over 40 years ago when it was truly operated by the Bully Family. They offered short cook orders and hot meals that you couldn’t find locally. Presently the family is still courteous and polite however the quality has gone done. The Family lives affluently but the restaurant looks as if should be off downtown South Dr. and you see what happened to Sweetie Pies gone!! I ordered corn and it was dark brown and my entree was hours old. The restaurant could really use some professional cleaning and arranging. I looked up October 2025 MSDOH Inspection and they failed for cleanliness. Not surprising. You would’ve thought that they would have expanded after years operating or even a Vendor truck Operation popular in Jackson now or even a spot at the MS Fair. I understand the unfortunate deadly case years back but the Family is well respected and should give back to the community it serves. Sometimes all it takes is a small difference or a new addition of some sort. I hope for a better day to come. This place has huge potential just like the world class “Sweet Georgia Brown”in Dallas TX. But no comparison now, not even close for a Black owned family business. Good Luck family 🤞🤞

This meal rates in the top ten I’ve ever eaten and I’ve eaten some wonderful food. I’d damn near make the drive from Hot Springs just to eat more of those greens that as my friend Andrea said, “were touched by God.” The turkey necks fell off the bone in the most delicious gravy. This stop was the highlight of our trip.

My first time eating a meal from here. I must admit, I do like spicy but when it's so spicy that I can't taste my food, that's not fair. If I had known it was a spicy dish, I wouldn't have wasted my money. Next time, I will inquire about the spice. I don't know if I like the food or not.

The oxtails hit with deep, slow-cooked flavor, while the collards brought that real soul-food comfort. Portions were hearty and honest. The cozy, no-frills vibe made it feel like a meal cooked by family who just wanted you to leave full and satisfied.
