Great old timey diner. We had onion rings, fried green tomatoes, gumbo, redfish sandwiches, & an oyster wedge salad. All were outstanding

Dined in 10/3 Friday night at 7:35pm NOT A PLACE FOR MINORITIES!!!! Let me tell you about me and my boyfriend's experience dining here. We are coming from New Orleans and decided to stop and eat somewhere before heading to our hotel for the night. I looked up reccomendations to eat in Jackson and this establishment popped up as Top 50 according to The NY Times...we said why not, and headed there. It was obviously very busy on a Friday night so we opted to sit at the bar. We were greeted and offered waters and our bartender made our drinks after. The crab cakes were delicious, i will give them that. We ordered our entrees approximately at 8:25 and DID NOT receive them until 9:40pm. Over an hour after we ordered. Mind you, there were no other minorities eating here and we observed other (white) people who sat after us and got their meals...which is wrong. I'm not sure if it was an error on our bartender for forgetting to put it in or a blatant act of racism. Our bill came out to $180 and my boyfriend left a $25 tip despite everything. I don't recommend coming here if you are a person of culture and ethnic.

Classic place in Jackson and the new renovation looks great. I had the broiled redfish and it was quite good.

I can't say it was bad, but every time I get a to go order and it don't have the condiments that I ask for, it just wrecks the whole.meal. I ordered fried shrimp and didn't get cocktail sauce. 2 ketchup, but no cocktail sauce. Come on people. You write your own review when you don't take time to do the little things on an order.

So glad this place has continued a great tradition under new ownership!
What a jewel of a restaurant. Love the old time feel. Food and service were excellent. The fried shrimp were perfection. What a great place to stop and eat if you are traveling through.

The Mayflower blew us all away! The food was exceptional! They somehow managed to take beloved southern food to the next level of perfection. We all went on about the food being the best version we'd ever had. Onion rings, fried okra, yams, catfish, chicken sandwich and the crab cakes were devine! The renovations, atmosphere and service are top tier. We will be back! Loved this for Jackson! Y'all give it a try!

First time visiting. Very chrasramatic staff. I want to say my server( Tricia) was superb. The food was really delicious. Everything had a unique touch. First impressions count and Mayflower Cafe knocked it out the park for me. I went for dinner so I'll have to try lunch one day.

Y'all...we loved our lunch at the Mayflower! What a joy to see the new incarnation of this Mississippi classic! The catfish was superb... fresh and perfect in every way. The sides were off-the-charts, too. Service was attentive and super friendly. And don't get me started on the peach cobbler... can't be beat! This is definitely our new favorite. Pay them a visit... you'll love it, too!
