I got the creole crabcake pasta, and it was the best crabcake that I've ever tried. The pasta itself was very good, very flavorful and creamy and not too heavy on the stomach. Good portion sizes and the bread that comes with was also great. Overall, the food came out fast, service was good, highly recommend this place and I would come back.

Red fish that was cooked perfectly!!!

Hands down the best pork chops ever! My husband and I drive an hour and a half just to eat here, and it's always worth it. Every visit, the food is spot-on and the staff makes you feel right at home. We'll definitely be back next month -- can't wait!

Chicken and sweet potato waffles

Nice, cute, cozy brunch spot whether for a date or just out with some friends. Very friendly staff and jazzy live music. The sweet potato pancakes were a hit! And the bartender whipped up a couple tasty mocktails. I would definitely circle back next time I'm in the area

This little place has my family's business now. Our waitress was very attentive. The food is PHENOMENAL. My parents got the fried green tomatoes and they were the best I've ever had. I got the sweet potato pancakes with fried chicken, it was divine. My hisndand got the chicken and waffles and it was delightful. My dad and brother in law got the stuffed redfish and I think it was the best redfish I've ever had. My sister got a ribeye steak and it was also quite tasty. Overall we will be back to explore the menu even more!

Today was the first day I got the opportunity to stop by the Blu Jazz. I've passed by on several occasions but always been too busy to stop. Always smelling indulgent aromas in the air, upbeat music, and a dark alluring atmosphere I knew it wouldn't be long before I would be drawn in my this mesmerizing force. I was right. We walked in and it was like stepping into a downtown New Orleans upscale restaurant. They aim to please for sure. There was instrumental music filling the room. It wasn't so loud that you had to scream huh, and wasn't so low to where there were awkward silences. There was Mardi Gras necklaces hanging from fixtures that made you feel as if a parade had just come through. We were greeted and seated awaiting our server. Our server came out post haste. She was very considerate offering a dinner menu in the beginning and then a brunch menu. She gave us time to order and came back with suggestions for a drink. There were different special available based on your alcohol preference. We ordered and the food came out in a timely manner. The food was cooked to perfection. We got the chicken and the stuffed redfish. Both were very good. The fish was nice and flaky and not over or undercooked. Since we do not eat carbs she gave us veggie options. They were amazing. I would have to say we will definitely be return customers. I would recommend. Location: 5 Prices: 5 Customer Service: 5 Cleanliness: 5 Quality: 5

Shrimp PoBoy Dressed and sweet Fries!

Hands down best experience I've ever received from a restaurant! Quickly greeted and seated with an unmatched southern hospitality, Mr Charles Carter was hosting the Fourth of July Brunch and had the place rocking! Everyone was interactive with the singing and clapping, the vibe was nothing short of amazing. I got a shrimp PoBoy with jambalaya, being from south Louisiana I always expect a sub par sandwich but Blu Jazz Cafe did not disappoint one bit! Shrimp were nice sized & fresh, jambalaya was perfectly moist and seasoned. Even the battered fries were incredible, my lady ordered a hamburger steak with fried okra and potatoes. The okra looked and tasted fresh cut and hand battered, the hamburger steak definitely tasted like a fresh hand made patty. Every single thing we had ordered was nothing short of Great! We were having such a great time singing and enjoying the show we decided to stick around and order some desert..... white chocolate bread pudding with the sauce and my lady ordered the brownie and vanilla ice cream these were probably the best desserts I've ever had in a restaurant! I honestly can't get over how great of a time we had! They gained life long customers for sure!

Crab cake appetizer

We went to the Lucky Rabbit antique stores and bazaar on a Saturday. This was our first visit to downtown Hattiesburg. The downtown area is quaint and lively at the same time. We decided to try the Blue Jazz Cafe, based on reviews and the menu. This was one of the best decisions we have made in a long time. I can't adequately describe the flavors. They were amazing!! We started with crab cake appetizers. These were delicious and the sauce was perfect. I had their daily special, which was called Grits and Grillades, I believe. It was stone ground grits, with smoked short rib for a protein, caramelized onions, green and red bell peppers. I was able to cut the meet with my spoon!! It was that tender. The dish was very good. My wife had the shrimp and grits. It was the best shrimp and grits we have ever had at a restaurant!!! The cream sauce was so flavorful!! The shrimp had great flavor and was not overcooked. It was mind blowing quality. Our server was very engaging and attentive. The meal was nicely spread out, meaning we had our drinks for a little while before we got the appetizer. There was plenty of time before our meal was served after the appetizer. We enjoy having time together while enjoying a meal and not feeling rushed. The owner, Nelson, is very personable and humble. I enjoyed having some conversation with him as I was leaving and he opened the door for me. He seemed like a genuine person. I highly recommend Blue Jazz Cafe if you are in downtown Hattiesburg.

Came to Blu Jazz cafe while staying in Laurel Mississippi and everything was closed on the 4th of July in Laurel and we were not warned by the B&B we booked at. Right at the start from walking in the door, I was greeted with big smiles. Sat promptly. Cool place with a great atmosphere. We were lucky because a blues, jazz band that sounded phenomenal started to play. Southern Creole dishes on the menu so it made it hard to choose. I wanted to try them all! I at the chicken daily lunch special and my husband ate the chicken and waffles. We ordered crab cakes for an appetizer. The crab cakes were all crab, big and delicious with a little creole sauce on top. Phenomenal! Our lunch was fresh and cooked to perfection. I highly recommend this restaurant. The adult cocktails are great too! The staff is super friendly and happy you are there. This was one of the best restaurants I have been in for years.

Yard bird with sweet potato pancakes! Highly recommend!

While on our way to New Orleans on our road trip, we wanted to stop at Hattiesburg as a lot of road…read moresigns in MS mention this town. This place ended up being our choice and no regrets on that. Alexandra did an amazing job explaining the menu and also being patient with our lack of decision making. LOL. We ended up ordering two burgers as the place is named after burgers and blues (nice to hear a Muddy Waters tune coming by as well) - both Bourbon and Downtown burgers were delicious, had a REAL angus Pattie (and that was appreciated by our tastebuds), a nice bun that could be compacted to edible proportions (we have seen way a lot worse in our lives) and all the fixings were fresh. Oh yes, we added an order of fried pickles but did not expect a full-size order, still yummy but hard to stop.... lastly, we ordered the fried apple pie and a coffee to hold us over. Success on that one, that cake is downright dangerous as you cannot eat stop eating it. TOP stuff. Ambiance? It's a burger place in a medium size town and it delivers exactly that, none of the foo foo, but very honest. Great staff, very personable and courteous. 10/10.

We started with the Hattiesburg Hot wings. They were hot. And they were amazing. Really superb…read morewings. I got the cowboy candy burger. I think that's what it was called. It was delicious! I could not identify all the flavors going on. But it was exceptionally flavorful. And filling. I did ask for sweet potato waffle fries but they gave me regular fries. Que sera sera. Fun place. Good ambiance. Good service.
