I love the ambience. I love their burgers and wings. The drinks are amazing and the service is on point.

Seated right by the front door, even though only three other tables occupied. Ordered drinks. First one finally arrived 14 minutrs later, then 6 minutes later, and finally the third one arrived about 20 minutes after the order placed. Excuses ranged from bartender is out to server is trying her best. The food. Filets overcooked. Only received 7 shrimp; menu stated 8. Joking said to server that "someone can't count". Head chef came out of back to assure me she went to school and could count. In 47 years of corporate travel, i never once had a server tattle. Okay. Won't be back. read more

I don't know if this was an "off" night for them or not. Our waiter said this was the busiest he'd ever seen them. However, I called for a reservation and at first asked for a table for 7. One more family member wanted to join, so I called and asked for 8. Was told no problem. However, no one wrote that down. Tried to seat our family outside in the blazing hot with mosquitos attacking my 2 year old nephew. We asked if we could sit inside. There was a table large enough. Was told it was for groups of 8. Well, that's what we had, but since no one had written the change to our reservation, it was an awkward wait to see if we could really sit there. Service was slow but we understood it was busy. When we were ordering, we were told by our waiter we weren't allowed to buy any additional sides. You only could get what part of a meal. We were ordering meals but wanted some extra sides of their side dish options. Was told this restaurant doesn't allow for that which is wild to me. When we asked to know how their baked potato salad was made/what was in it, our waiter (who said he'd worked there 4 years) could not tell us, but said he knew it was bad. We asked about the baked potato casserole, and his reply was it was "just a regular baked potato all mushed up". Clearly not selling us on either of those. Some people were setting up for a trivia night, and we had people coming to our table multiple times asking us if we were doing trivia. "No". Then a large group who apparently wanted our table just stood near; lurking and waiting for us to leave. ... My brother asked if they had a dessert menu. Our waiter didn't seem to know but went to ask and came back telling us "we do, but you'd have to wait another 20 minutes." What?!! We paid and left. We recently moved to Clinton and had heard some good things about this restaurant and decided to bring our family who was in from out of town, but what a horrible experience. From poor service, to rushed dining, to not allowing us to order items we actually wanted, I was simply blown away this was our first (and last) time to come here. read more

This place has waaaay overpriced food. The servers are not very knowledgeable with menu items, etc. Been several times and its the same story read more

The valentines menu was very good. The portion size was very fulfilling. Great recommendations from the waitress. The atmosphere could have been better. read more

The staff was extremely rude and unprofessional. We came for brunch with our small dog in a stroller and specifically asked to sit outside. A staff member directed us through the restaurant to a side patio we didn't even know existed. Before we could sit down, another employee confronted us and said we were not supposed to have come through the restaurant -- despite us following their staff's instructions and clearly stating we had a pet and wanted outdoor seating to avoid any issues. When I said we would just leave if it was a problem, we were told we didn't have to leave, but the staff member continued to reiterate that we were not supposed to come through the restaurant. We ultimately left due to the poor service and will not be returning. As well as telling our other local friends this is not the small business to support. read more

The atmosphere was very nice. Our service was great. The place was very clean. We ordered the spinach artichoke appetizer and it was great! For our meal we ordered Shrimp and Grits. They were very creamy and really good. We also ordered the spaghetti dish. It was ok, not real impressed with it, and also the hamburger and it was good. It was overall a good experience. read more

I heard about this place from a friend, and decided to take a road trip from Jackson. My friend and I are glad we did! We were greeted warmly, and our server, Tuscanie, explained all the items on the menu. She was really sweet and seemed to genuinely enjoy her job. I had the 303 Jefferson cocktail (or two!) and we shared the cheese curds. Perfectly cooked and delicious, very good sauces. Generous portion, too. For dinner, my friend had the fettuccine and I had the gouda mushroom burger. We loved the food and had leftovers to take home. Too full for dessert! I will plan to come back and try the desserts. I would also like to try outside on their patio- Great atmosphere inside and out! read more

Food was good, portions were good. Service was terrible. Server could not get orders straight. Orders were mixed up, came out staggered. Half of our party of 8 did not get meal until other had finished. The bill was wrong as we were charged extra meals which were not ordered. Even with such bad service, we were charged 20% gratuity. read more

My mom and I were in Clinton for a pottery class and dined at 303 Jefferson afterward. We ordered the crab claws as an appetizer, which took 25-30 min to make it to our table. They tasted freezer-burned and like they had been fried for too long because it was hard to pull the meat off. My mom wanted to order the pork chop, but our waitress said they were out of pork chops, so she ordered the filet instead, cooked medium. I ordered the "Smoked Ribeye Cheesesteak: House smoked and shaved thin, smothered w/ grilled onions, peppers, mushrooms and our own cheese sauce. $17.50" After waiting 30+ more minutes, our food finally comes. My mom's $37 filet was thin and overcooked to well done and my "cheesesteak" was not smothered in grilled onions and had NO cheese. When I asked our waitress about it she said, "Oh, we are out of cheese sauce. I can bring you a slice of pepper jack if you'd like." The meat did not taste like smoked ribeye but more like dog food. And the bread tasted like it had been old and microwaved because it was hard to chew. After taking 2 bites of the $17 sandwich, I decided I couldn't eat anymore. After tip, this meal cost $120 - we will never return. read more

I'm still gonna give this eatery a 4. It's charming atmosphere and staff are very knowledgeable. We had the Boudin and Sp&Art apps. The boudin balls were really crispy and paired with the stoneground mustard and the Sp&Art creamy with Cajun flare and crispy tortilla wedges. Red fish and Crab was a special my brother ordered blacked and grits. The grits were creamy and well done but not enough salt for him. It was easily fixed and the Red fish perfectly blackened, flaky, and buttery. The Brisket burger was juice despite it being a more dry cut to use. Fat may have been added but the gouda melted on top was perfect match. The hand made onion rings light and crispy with a tasty remoulade. If I had anything negative to say is that the kitchen needs better communication and timing as half the table got their food a full 25 min before the other half. read more

The Pork Shank was definitely fall-off-the-bone tender and juicy; served over cheese grits that were on point. I personally could have used slightly less bbq sauce as it was a little overpowering over the rest of natural flavor of the meat as well as the grits (maybe just drizzle and if people want more they can get a side). Room for improvements: The place seemed a little understaffed but I understand during these times where nobody seems to work anymore. We also waited slightly longer than I'd liked (about 10 mins before a server came to say hi). I didn't love how my dish was served with a just a roll instead of vegetables like on the menu. I was going to say something but there was a point when I just decided to let it go. Overall, it was a really great spot that I'd come back to again. read more

Great food and atmosphere. I highly recommend. The service is second to none. Very intimate setting.

Went for lunch with a coworker. The food came quickly. We were maybe 5 minutes into eating and looked to see something out the corner of my eye. There was a roach crawling on the wall at our booth. We politely let the server know and requested our ticket. We didn't even get the chance to enjoy our food which was very disappointing. I won't be returning or recommending this establishment. read more

303 Jefferson - Smoked Tuna Salad Sandwich - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Clinton, Mississippi

Wonderful atmosphere but service and food left much to be desired. We were one of the few tables at the time and still struggled to catch attention by staff. Several menu items were out of stock, however I came for a steak. I also left most of it on my plate with it being over cooked and under seasoned. Hope I can save someone the same disappointment we experienced. read more

My wife and I recently celebrated our 5th anniversary, so I wanted to take her and my daughter somewhere we had not been. First the atmosphere is cozy and great. The staff was welcoming and the outside and inside were clean. The young lady who waited in us, McKenzie told us she had only been there about a month, but she was fantastic. Made great suggestions and kept checking on us. Didn't wait for anything. THE FOOD Appetizer - Boudin Balls (great) Drinks - mixed very good Main course - Ribeyes were The best part of the meal. Cooked perfect med-rare and medium very tender great amount of flavor and marbling with a hint of grill flavor. Really I could have eaten two. Dessert - cheesecake was good, but the Bourbon Pecan Pie with Ice Cream was an absolutely fantastic taste. read more

303 Jefferson - Great food : Ribeye is excellent! - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Clinton, Mississippi

Wonderful meals can be found at unexpected places...and 303 Jefferson in Clinton, MS is one of those gems. When I arrived it was pretty empty so I was a bit worried but the friendliness of the lady at the door convinced me to try it out. My server Mariam greeted me and got me a beer while I looked over the menu. I went with a half Greek Salad(absolutely delicious) and the 303 Pasta Balsamico. This dish consists of bowtie pasta sautéed w/ garlic, red onions, roasted bell peppers, bacon and green beans. Then they finish it with grated parmesan and a Balsamic reduction...I added the grilled chicken. I've never had a pasta dish where the "gravy" was a balsamic reduction, and I've been missing out. The flavors of this dish were incredible and there wasn't a bow tie pasta piece left in the plate. Really...an impressive dish and difficult to describe the flavors but suffice to say...delicious. Great food and excellent service from Mariam...highly recommend! read more

We were in Clinton visiting family. My wife's cousin reserved a table for our family of 11. Nice restaurant with decent decor open floor plan. Our server was a young blonde haired lady, she seemed overwhelmed with the size of our party. we all ordered and I'm not sure if the noise in the restaurant or masks but a lot of our orders were misunderstood. The salad was good chicken was outstanding. The rest of the meal was underwhelming. My wife's redfish was way over salted but only on 3/4 of the filet. My filet I asked for medium medium well was leather and butterflied. The sweet potato was excellent but tiny. The chef came and asked how everything was and we told him and he asked if we wanted him to cook new orders and I appreciate that. If I lived around there I'd give it another shot. Thx! read more

Great setting for those of us who like the old downtown settings. The fresh baked whole wheat and sourdough buns on the chicken club and 303 burger was a pleasant surprise. Food was good and service was great. This Bayou State Couple gives 303 4 thumbs up. The only complaint is it hard to tell if 303 is a restaurant when driving by, some sort of added outdoor advertising would be helpful for those driving by. read more

I Got the ribeye... 40% pure fat... flavor 4 out of 10... service was slow... waiter was was spot on friendly which made up for the delay of of food and drinks. The atmosphere was , more due to the other customers during trivia than the actual restaurant. Out of a $180 meal the cheese curds and the other compatriots where the only thing I walked away with saying I got my moneys worth .... Probably a good lunch spot, but wouldn't take a first date here if you're trying to impress.... read more

Great restaurant great atmosphere. I do recommend this I give it five stars. The best steaks in the metro area

Good southern comfort food. Atmosphere is cool. If you're not in a rush or on time constraint, it'll be fine. For takes awhile for order to come out. This was our experience whether they were busy and when they weren't. But food is good. read more

Horrific experience. Waited over an hour for a table. When seated, we were given zero acknowledgement. The people at the table behind us said they had been seated for over 30 min and still had not even been served drinks. read more

This place's prices are laughable and the food is just okay. Everyone goes because of convenience or they don't know any better. It's sad because this restaurant has so much potential because of its location and ambience. I live a mile from 303, so every six months or so my wife and I go hoping it'll be different, but it's always a disappointment. I heard the owners are also involved in the sports bar the block down, hopefully they do a better job there because we're excited for that restaurant too. We want Clinton to take advantage of the downtown area. For these prices drive to Jackson or Madison and eat at a good restaurant. It's not that far away people! Elvie's, Manship, Rooster's, Pig n' Pint, heck, even Martin's... all are better options. Some are around the same price, some are cheaper, all have better food. read more

Never again!! We had to pay for the entire meal. I legally took 3 bites and and 2 bites of her plate. We got our waiter and informed him and the manager never came, and on top of that paid for it‼ I've never been to a restaurant and experienced that. My true rating is no stars. read more

I've been there to order the pork shank, but they didn't have. I've got a recommended order is mahi mahi. It's good. I mean it's more than good. It has no fish smell, no weird taste, and looks good, but one thing I disappointed is too small for one man's dinner even with sweet potatoes, and green beans for side. read more

First time trying this place from the recommendation from a friend. I was VERY impressed with almost everything. The atmosphere, the food, the service, the portions! All of it exceeded my expectations and I will be back when I come to the area. I'm from Texas. I got the baby back ribs and they were amazing! Great bbq flavor and they were so tender! All the sides were awesome too! Sweet Tea Rating: 5/10 So the tea brand is good, not bitter or anything, but it was definitely not sweet enough. Can I recommend more auger please? Almost couldn't tell it was sweet Tea. Thanks! read more

Great food. Love the ambience downtown. I usually go there for the lunch and they always have good blue plates.

This review is not for the food. It is about the service. There was a punk kid in 303 today wearing an Auburn "War Eagle" shirt. My wife was wearing an Ole Miss shirt. He let us know he was not happy about that and complained twice about how his tip was gonna suck due to Auburn beating Ole Miss so badly. (They had the game on the tv there) No idea who the owner is but would love to speak to them. After one hour of not being asked for our order, we left. He laughed as we left. I will put tremendous effort into steering people away from this establishment. read more

Best pork chop I've ever had. Juicy and perfectly seasoned and grilled. The grilled shrimp were outstanding. Perfectly seasoned. The green beans were nice and crunchy. All this and a baked potato.
