We enjoyed our bowl of gumbo and chopped salad a lot. Both tasted freshly made and were delicious and hit the spot after our hike on the Museum Trail.

We were driving through Jackson on our way to Memphis and made a pit stop for lunch at Chef Nick’s Nissan Café (he’s a friend of a friend) and we’d heard it was a must-try. We’re visiting from San Diego, and let me tell you: hands-down the best shrimp and grits and gumbo I’ve ever had. No exaggeration. The portions were big—generous enough that you definitely won’t leave hungry—and everything was packed with flavor. The shrimp and grits were creamy, well-seasoned, and loaded with perfectly cooked shrimp. And the gumbo? Deep, rich, comforting, and full of soul. Worth every single penny. If you’re anywhere near Jackson, do yourself a favor and stop by. We’ll absolutely be back next time we’re in town. (Note: ordered my shrimp and grits without the pork)

The food was top notch! I had the shrimp and grits and my wife ate the Mississippi Gumbo. It was worth every penny. We will definitely be back.

Social media led me to this place. My intention was to come for lunch and stay for the museum. Unfortunately, the restaurant was closing early for a special event so I didn’t have an opportunity to sample too many of the items on the menu.
I requested the ramen. I should’ve revisited my decision making when I saw it came with “roasted pineapples”. The broth was good and I appreciated the opportunity to select a protein, but it wasn’t really too enjoyable. The pineapples weren’t roasted, the egg was hard boiled a tad too long and the ramen included spaghetti noodles.
I appreciate the effort and would probably limit any future purchase to soul food classics or the pre-made desserts.

We were pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem in Jackson, Mississippi!!! Gumbo, sandwiches, and salads were all so generous and tasty. Our party of 7 raved about the meal we had. If we had one recommendation, it would be heartier napkins. Keep up the great work!

Beyond Delicious and fresh. I loved the Shrimp Vermicelli. It was a perfectly seasoned creamy shrimp pasta with the warm lightly toasted flatbread. The MS gumbo was delicious too; I ordered it to go. Definitely will return to eat these and try more of menu.
