The Asian peanut Ginger-Peanut Chicken Salad
Henry L.

We always like this salad, but with spinach, not the mixed greens; today: the spinach had too much 'old' in it... you know, wilted & dark. And being a 'foodie' from NOLA, the fried chicken tenders were not tender, but chewey, even though they were cut across the grain... I wonder if some restaurants skimp on the quality of ingredients versus going up $.30 or whatever on the meal?

Salmon over couscous

So we went to Char for my son n law's birthday dinner. Let get right into it. Wait time for table of large party (4) Wait time for order placement/drinks (4) Server (Faye 5) A. *Food taste (5) B. *Food appearance (5) C. *Auto gratuity (3) Price for food (4) Silverware and saucer (1) not clean Overall I give this place a 4 1/2 So the A- the food taste good B - the New York Strip was very bloody but luckily someone was willing to swap their Ribeye well done for the bloody Strip. The Char salad with chicken was Amazing. The Salmon was Delish The burgers were devoured by the young. C- the auto gratuity should be banned. Will I go back, heck yes! ForRealFran

Carb No Filler Crabcakes

Food was good as always. It was slammed Saturday night and food came out at a decent time. Service was a bit lacking, but they were busy, so it wasn't a problem.

Came here with a reservation on a Saturday night. My sister just moved into town so I came down from California to visit her and wanted to take her on a nice dinner date. I found this spot on Yelp and it was def giving the vibes I was looking for. Got seated right away. Our server Amber was awesome. She had great energy and was very attentive and nice to us. She gave us her recommendations and was very knowledgeable of the menu. She provided the best customer service. Hands down! The host that night was also very nice & sweet. She complimented us on our way to be seated and I thought that was sweet of her. We started with apps. Crab fingers, sautéed and fried. I def liked the sautéed better than the fried. Fried green tomatoes were also good we loved the dipping sauce it came with. Complimented it really well! I had the scallops that were cooked to perfection. Absolutely loved them. My sister had the black fish which stole the show! It was so tender and flavorful. We also had the creamed spinach that were weren't a fan of but that was the only thing. My experience here was 10/10. I would highly recommend and will def be back! Also Amber you rock!!

Famous House-Made Pecan Pie
Amira I.

We tried this restaurant for dinner for the first time on Sunday evening. We didn't have any reservations but good thing, we only had to wait 10 minutes or so before we were seated. I do recommend making reservations though. We started with their soup of the day, which was chicken, asparagus and mushrooms and it was delicious. Perfect for a chilly night. I like how nice and big this place is from the inside and they have multiple locations - in Tennessee, here and Alabama. For entrees, we ordered their Range chicken and Atlantic salmon. Both were delicious. See photos of the food below. I loved their famous pecan pie with vanilla ice cream for dessert. You should try it! See photo of this dessert below. Overall I really like this restaurant and would come back.

Soup of the Day-Shrimp bisque
Carmen H.

I visited Char with my friends on Friday night! We sat in the bar area accompanied by the live pianist. The lighting is low and moody. We started off with cocktails and appetizers, which consisted of the Pamaritas, Espresso Martini, a cup the soup of the day (Shrimp bisque) and the Award-Winning Crab, Shrimp & Andouille Gumbo. Our cocktails were perfectly crafted. The cups of soups were hot and delicious. Our server also brought us bread service. For entrees, we ordered the chicken piccata with mashed sweet potatoes and sautéed spinach, redfish with a wedge salad, and the spinach crisp with chicken. Everything was really good. Absolutely no complaints. Overall, we enjoyed our dining experience and I look forward to going back in the future.

Caesar Salad

First time eating here. Enjoyed our evening. Got a Cesar salad as an app, the cowboy boneeye which was a good size for splitting between the two of us, we also got an extra side of garlic mash potatoes. Our server was so nice and helpful. The steak was a bit charred (ironic). I didn't mind it as it was tender but my wife didn't love it so not sure how much we will frequent.

One of my fav restaurants in Jackson, MS! Lunch is always great and bar has a great vibe. The menu variety is great with lots of great options to choose from. Service is always great and they are very personal and attentive. Crab cakes (all lump crab meat) and pecan crusted blackfish is so tasty!

Hummus.   Cauliflower crust flatbread with bacon and grilled shrimp.
Cindy L.

What a wonder happening place. We stopped there after dinner somewhere else. We sat at the bar and had appetizers. We thoroughly enjoyed the piano player. He made the night Playing Stairway to Heaven and My Guitar Gently Weeps.

The food there is wonderful! The buffet style service has all options covered. Salad, meats,…read morevegetables, bread, and desserts. Pay as you enter, and then fix your plate! There is plenty of seating, even if you have to sit upstairs. All the staff are helpful and keep your glass full. A trip there will not be regretted.

The young man at the car rental station said I needed to try this place. He said they were closed…read moreon Monday so I didn't even try to go (I don't think they were closed). 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.

Stopped by after work to try some of the Cinco de Mayo 2026 special menu items (05/01-05/05). It…read morewas not overly crowded and it was open seating. We were greeted shortly by our waiter Caden. Our waiter was extremely polite and very attentive. I can only speak in the items I personally tried the watermelon jalapeño margarita was a 7.5/10. There wasn't a strong watermelon flavor and there really wasn't a kick from the jalapeño. The bartender wasn't definitely not shy with the liquor but it wasn't over powering. The shrimp and crab ceviche was probably a 8/10 ( could've been a 9/10 but it had cucumbers in it). It had a tad bit too much lime juice or lime taste. The shrimp and crab dip was delicious! 9/10. Fresh chips as well. I really enjoyed the pickled red onion addition was really good. Overall Saltine has a great menu selection, warm and welcoming vibe.

Lovely looking place…read more The service was good. Pretty much right there when you needed them with decent recommendations. For appetizers, I loved the lobster and spring roll. That was delicious. Also got the lobster and crawfish dip ok and one can never go wrong with calamari which was also good. For dinner, I had the salmon and grits and kale. It was ok because not quite what I was expecting - I was expecting spicy and it was too sweet for me but might be my fault for not fully reading the description and being focused on the Cajun seared aspect of it. It was still good though. Nothing superb but filling and loved the crunchy kale on top. Really liked that they were open on a Monday and they were fast. At one point, too fast because one of my co- diner's dinner came too soon while still eating their salad. For dessert, we got the cinnamon roll cheesecake and shared it. I only had one bite because it was too rich for me but it was very tasty and good. Unfortunately, we didn't get the oysters which is THE item to get here but it was otherwise a good visit.
