Gluten-Free Restaurants near Jackson, MS

“My husband and I were in Jackson with a few hours to kill. We stopped a nice couple in Highland Village to ask where they would recommend us eating lunch. We were both very pleased with their recommendation. I enjoyed the linguine with crawfish tails on which our attentive waitress helped me decide. My husband enjoyed the carne pizza. We will definitely return the next time we’re in town.“

“I have lived in Louisiana my whole life and was skeptical about Jackson’s king cakes. I have tried ones in NOLA and baton rouge and i can say Campbells king cake gets the Louisiana approval!!! I had originally place a pre order for my king cake but once I got home and cut into it I realized I was given the wrong order. The customer service there is amazing!! I went in and was able to grab another one and was given more cream cheese filling!! If you are looking for a classic king cake look no further!! I really appreciate the employees being super understanding and kind!!“

“I would love to retail tour products but just considering the distance and well I fell in love with some snacks the last time“

“Newk’s is a great place to eat. The food is great and I love the chicken salad on croissant 🥐…. It’s delicious 😋“

“Went to Saltines for lovely Monday night dinner.
Started off with some fried green tomatoes and they were absolutely amazing!
Then we continued with seafood pasta and blackfish and both were great, but nothing topped the cinnamon roll cheesecake. We absolutely loved this dessert as it provided everything you’re looking for to finish up a meal.“

“This is my favorite place to go !!! Meal replacements are the bomb“

“We stopped at this Drago’s location during a road trip, just north of Jackson, Mississippi. Drago’s originated in Louisiana and has expanded into neighboring states, and this stop genuinely felt like our stomach arrived in New Orleans before we did. It was a great introduction to Southern and Cajun-style seafood before reaching NOLA.

The restaurant has a classic American bar-meets–fine dining atmosphere. The dining room is spacious and brightly lit with chandeliers, and the walls are decorated with framed New Orleans street scenes, giving the space a subtle sense of “exported” NOLA culture. There is also a full bar area, where TVs were playing live sports, making it a comfortable spot for both dining and casually watching a game. On a weekday evening, the restaurant wasn’t crowded, which made the experience relaxed and unhurried—perfect after a long drive.

Reservations are available, which is nice to know if you’re stopping by during busier hours or on weekends. The menu itself is not very large, but it’s focused. If you’re particular about choices, it’s worth checking the menu online in advance so you know what to expect.

The highlight of the meal was Drago’s Original Charbroiled Oysters. They arrived sizzling at the table, filled with rich garlic butter aroma and sound. Paired with hand-torn bread for soaking up the sauce, they were absolutely addictive and disappeared almost instantly. This dish alone is reason enough to visit.
We also ordered the Fried Gator Bites, made from battered and fried alligator tail meat served with remoulade sauce. They’re surprisingly approachable—think “chicken nuggets,” but firmer and more substantial than chicken, with a satisfying bite.
The Mama Ruth’s Seafood Gumbo was thick, rich, and hearty, with a strong seafood-and-okra base. It works especially well mixed with rice, making it a comforting and filling dish.
Fish, Shrimp ’N’ Grits was another standout. The grits were creamy and fragrant, topped with fish and shrimp, and packed with flavor. Unexpectedly, it even reminded us of Chinese “fish-fragrant” flavors in a fun way.

After hours on the road, this meal completely washed away our travel fatigue. With multiple locations in New Orleans, Drago’s feels like a dependable choice with consistent quality. Whether you’re passing through Mississippi or dining in NOLA, it’s a solid stop for satisfying Southern seafood in a comfortable, no-rush setting.“

“we had the pleasure to find this amazing establishment. the food was absolutely fantastic. we definitely will be making a trip again. customer service was everything and Mr Sam gave us great hospitality. 10 out of 10“

“The food is consistent every single time. I can honestly say I’ve never been to a restaurant where The quality, the taste, and the consistency are the same every single time. I have visited at least half a dozen various Newk’s in different states. And it’s been 25 times or more over the years so I think I know what I’m talking about lol“

“Cassidy is top notch! Every time I pick up lunch from Grant's, she is phenomenal! The food is good but the service is outstanding.“

“Fast, friendly service at a reasonable price. And it’s the only restaurant I can get cashew chicken with the perfect balance of vegetables/meat/sauce. Keep up the great work!“

“Everything about this place was fantastic!! From the Greek nachos to the feta burger and onion rings, I was so full in nachos I could barely move. Everyone is very friendly and the food came out pretty quickly. This was the best Greek food I have ever had!!“

“Amazing, soft and moist!!!“

“this place is not a joke everyone that works their always have smiles on their faces and looks like they want to be at work unlike the people at mcdonald’s and it’s also located in a nice area every time me and my family go we leave them a pretty good tip because it’s always worth it if your ever having a bad day just got to bops and they will make it so much better.“

“It’ll always be the best hibachi and sushi to our family! No matter what we try, we always go back. So glad they’re back open in Clinton.“

“Menchie's Frozen yogurt is a great treat. I like that it has no preservatives and no additives. It has a great variety of flavors. I'm so glad I found a good frozen yogurt place. I also love the friendly staff.“
