    Close up of fried chicken
    Tyler B.

    I am so full! Collard greens, Lima beans with fried okra, home made corn bread and lemonade and the best fried chicken in the world! Mississippi soul food! Oh and that big chunk of meat is pigs feet! Will be back in a few days to try the rest of the menu. But super friendly, top tier service, and best soul food in Mississippi! Ambiance is exactly what you would expect for the type of quality and food.

    Honestly such a life changing experience. the food was phenomenal and the service was even better. I loved being here it was so welcoming- it's truly an experience that transcends just eating that makes this place so so special. You can truly feel the history and soul in the space and it seeps into the food. Easily my favorite place we ate at while visiting the South!

    The food was okay. The sweet potatoes were good, the pork chop was very tender literally fell apart with my plastic fork the Mac n cheese was okay not the best I ever had. I loved the sweet tea! The service was great southern service. The ambiance was just like someone's home. Wasn't bad it was nice to support a local business while passing through.

    I was on a hunt for some good soulfood and this place was nearby. It had been around for years but this was my first visit. I ordered the oxtails, mac & cheese, & collard greens. The food was ok to me.

    My husband and I ended up in Jackson, MS on New Year's Day because our flight in New Orleans back home was cancelled, and we decided to drive back home instead. While I was driving to Jackson from New Orleans, my husband looked up soul food restaurants and found Bully's. We were excited to try this place and support a local family owned restaurant. The staff was really sweet, however it did take them a few times to figure out our order, but our order was accurate. The food was delicious. I ordered the beef tips and had both of my sides be their greens. My husband had their cornbread, their fried okra, Mac & cheese, and greens. We both inhaled our food because we were so hungry, and I had skipped lunch. We would totally come back again, and I'd recommend Bully's to anyone in the area looking for some authentic soul food in the area.

    Welp the reviews were right, the food was excellent!! My order in order was taken in a professional manner. Customer service was perfect, they made sure my food was correct before leaving restaurant. Inside seating for dining service if you wish. We had the catfish with greens, mac & cheese, fried okra, and corn bread. All the food was seasoned well. The food was delicious, fresh, and hot! I will visit again when Im in town. Best meal in Jax, MS!!

    Vegetable Plate with Cornbread: purple hull peas, squash, mixed greens, and tomato/okra stew
    Sharon S.

    The truest definition of a hole-in-the-wall....but I happily frequent it every chance I get. Lately, I've been getting the veggie plate and cornbread. Y'all, let's start with the cornbread....it's literally my favorite! As a bread lover, I can ( and will) eat three muffins at a time! The tomato and okra stew has a hint of spice...now, sometimes that "hint" is a full blown drop kick and punch though but I just sweat through it because its truly delicious. The greens.....OH MY GOODNESS....I always get the "mixed" greens and they have never disappointed! Truthfully, all of the vegetables make me wanna sign up to be somebody's big momma and see if I can cook that well! The smothered chicken is also divine. I usually get two legs fried and they put their gravy over it. The fried fish is pretty good too! The seasonings are perfect, but if you're looking for real catfish, this isn't it...it's definitely Swai. My only complains are that the serving sizes have gotten smaller and smaller over the years and that one cornbread muffin is not included with the plate. BUT HEY...I'll continue to buy this kids meal container and pay $0.50 for cornbread.....because it's just THAT good!

    We ordered liver with onions, potato salad and candied yams. Beef tips with rice, candied yams and fried corn. Rolls came with both meals.

    We enjoyed our meal at Bully's. The staff was pleasant and extremely friendly. The food was great with nice portion sizes. The ambiance was relaxed. It felt like being around family.

    My hubby and I LOVE trying local restaurants and I was super excited to try this one out. We were running short on time so decided to order the catfish platter to go. When we pulled up around 1 pm, the parking lot was full! Then, a fire truck pulled behind us and a bunch of firemen got out to go inside to eat lunch. So I was elated and knew we hit the local jackpot! Needless to say, I was very disappointed. The prices on their FB page are way off as in it's almost doubled when you go in and order. But I was still okay with it. We decided to share the catfish platter and ordered fried green tomatoes and rutabaga as the sides. The pictures on Yelp of the catfish seemed like it would be a big serving. The cashiers were very nice and smiled at everybody who walked in. I really wanted the oxtails but seemed too hard to eat while in the car. Maybe next time! After about a 30 minute wait, we got our order. My hubby also ordered the lemonade because it seemed pretty popular. Apparently it's better to call it in so you don't have to wait that long. They weren't that busy in the restaurant but their phone was ringing nonstop. Okay, now to the food. I opened my box excitedly and was immediately disappointed. The catfish strips were TINY! I mean, we got 3 strips but there was no way I was getting full off of them. They were tasty though, just wish there was more. Maybe $9 is a good price for catfish? I burned my mouth pretty badly biting into a fried green tomato, it was pure grease/oil. They were definitely fresh out of the fryer but those things soaked up the oil like it's been sitting in it. The rutabaga was okay as well. The lemonade was all ice, filled to the brim with ice, we got two sips each before it was empty. I honestly felt like we got the short end of the stick. If we happen to pass through again, maybe I'll try the oxtails like I was going to do.

    I had the spaghetti plate. The spaghetti was mostly sauce. I wished it was more spaghetti than sauce. But it was tasty. The yams were delicious. So we're the greens. The greens were the star of the show. They were absolutely delicious. My friend had the fried pork chop. I tasted a piece and the pork chop was delicious. It was crispy on the outside and very moist and tender on the inside and it was seasoned perfectly. The employees are all so friendly. I will return the next time I visit Jackson, MS. Most definitely.

The ribs were cold, which took away any chance of enjoying them the way they should be: tender and piping hot with that kiss of smoke. Without that, it was just tough meat on a bone. I will say the rub was flavorful, but it couldn't help the toughness. Also got a beef sausage with onions and while the snap of the casing was pronounced, the insides were cold and bland as well. Barbecue sauce is usually the soul of a place like this, something that tells you the story of the pitmaster and their craft. Here, there was no story, just packets of Kraft BBQ sauce. It felt impersonal, like the heart of the place was missing. The sides didn't step in to rescue things either. The potato salad and baked beans tasted like they came straight from a grocery store container, unseasoned and uninspired. When the main event falls flat, the sides should at least give you a reason to come back, but they didn't. I wanted this spot to be a hidden gem, the kind of place you recommend to friends when they ask for local flavor. Instead, it was the kind of meal you forget as soon as you walk out the door, and that's the real disappointment.

I wanted to go Tuesday but coworkers didn't want to go out. Tried to go Wednesday but they were closed for dinner. My flight was leaving later in the day on Thursday and I had to try to go. Online it said they were open at 10 am. I checked out of the hotel and headed to the restaurant. There were already a lot of people waiting for them to open. To my surprise they opened at 10:30. When the doors opened people were "fighting" to get inside. This is a buffet setting. You pay before eating. To go plates are available for purchase. There is an upstairs eating area. I think there were 3 hot stations, a cold station, and a desert station and an ice cream machine. All the food looked so good. I had to get a little taste of everything. The fried chicken and fried chicken livers were Hands down my favorite things. I like greens that are tangy with a little spicy - these were not that. The cornbread was hard couldn't eat it. Everything else was ok. Nothing that I had that "gotta go back for more" feeling (except the chicken). There were so many offerings, and they have Pepsi products. They have a drink station but The servers bring you drinks. I definitely would go back again if I'm in the area.

    Met a couple of friends here for the buffet after our first restaurant choice was closed. It was…read morethe first time any of us has been here. The location was decently decorated and seemed to be clean and it wasn't too noisy for our table of four to eat and have conversation without competing with neighboring tables overall, a fantastic experience, price and value were definitely good. After looking over the menu, I was impressed with the selection of meat and vegetables included in the buffet, more than similar Korean buffets I have been to. I also liked the number of available sauces to further season the food. Service was fast and efficient. We were seated quickly and our drink order was taken and filled shortly afterward. Staff was really friendly and helpful when we had questions. Soon, our order of meats and veggies arrived and the cooking began. The containers tend to take a fair amount of space on the already small tables so keep that in mind if you order a wide variety of meats. We had to stack the containers as we cooked the meat but the server removed them pretty quickly. One really neat feature of the tables I enjoyed was a plate warmer at each seat location, at least in the booths. That helped keep the cooked meat warm while waiting for the other cooking food to complete. Very nice touch. I will definitely return the next time. I'm in town.

    Yakiniku is an experience and the food is delicious! You can order the Korean BBQ and/or Hot buffet…read more(from the menu to your table). It includes cooked starters such as rice, noodles, spicy chicken, spring rolls, wontons, gyoza, etc.. and many protein and veggie options to cook yourself. The beef bulgogi and flank steak were awesome! Shrimp was nice and fresh. The meat is already marinated, but there is also a spice and sauce bar in case you want to take it up a notch. I put a mixture of green onion, minced garlic and cilantro on the beef **chef's kiss**. Note: Other than the short rib, they give you a hefty portion of meat per selection. I suggest maybe ordering 1 or 2 meats per person and if you want more or to try something different later, request it at that time because there is a $13 per lb up-charge for wasting food. Price for the all-you-can-eat buffet is $30.99pp (at the moment). Yakiniku does have lunch specials, value packages for groups, bento boxes, and options if you don't want to cook yourself, but that is really part of the experience and it's super easy. Ambiance is family-friendly, good for groups. Overall, I loved it! A few things that I think would provide a better experience: - If the servers clean or switch out the grill like at other KBBQ spots once it gets dry or too charred. You could probably just request this though. - Different tongues or handlers for each meat instead of one since you're dealing with raw meat (and maybe some sanitizing wipes at the table).
