    E.A.T.S. Breakfast
    Missy A.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here and will be back! Only had about a 20 minute wait when we arrived at 11 AM on Sunday. Our server, Josh, was very kind and attentive. We got the "E.A.T.S. Breakfast", "Sunrise Sandwich", and "The Diner Salad" with fried chicken. Everything was delicious and fresh! The owner, Ashley, even came to our table to speak. She is the best! We can't wait to come back. :)

    Biscuits and gravy

    Came here for quick breakfast before the Super Bowl. Line was out the door so we sat at the bar. Customer service did not lack sitting at the bar. I had the biscuits and gravy the breakfast sando and mimosa. Every thing I got was hella good and would get again. Ambiance gave that home feeling. Very clean and everyone was attentive and nice. Would def be back when I'm in town. I would highly recommend EATS diner.

    Blue plate special

    I am really not one to leave bad reviews... I feel like I'm pretty honest when it comes to food at restaurants, but this was by far one of the worst meals I have ever eaten. First of all, there was no gravy on the mashed potatoes. I had to ask for it. Then, the mashed potatoes were lumpy, which I understand because they're mashed not creamed, but the potatoes that were in there, were basically raw. They were inedible the food was not hot. It had no flavor. The chicken breast, which was the blue plate special today was basically a chicken tender. Very disappointing.

    I am so glad we came across this cute little diner while in Jackson! They have a good and open space and they even have homemade ice cream! YUMMY. For breakfast, I ordered the Big Breakfast. It comes with two eggs, choice of hash browns or grits, toast or biscuit, and choice of two meats (bacon, sausage patty, smoked sausage link or breakfast ham). Everything was so good. It tasted like a home cooked meal. It was seasoned to perfection. Before leaving, I had a single scoop of birthday cake ice cream and it was really good. If you are in the area, this place is definitely worth stopping in. We also had the Benyay's! They were super light and fluffy with just enough powdered sugar. Great spot!

    Pancakes with bacon and one scrambled egg

    Had to come to Ridgeland for some errands and remembered a post about EATS Diner a friend made last year. Let me start with service. Everyone working as servers/hostesses is young and these are some of the hardest working young people I've seen in a restaurant setting in a while. My drink order was taken as soon as I was seated and my food order taken once I put the menu down. Food came out hot off the grill and I was checked on for refills at a good pace. I ordered the two pancakes breakfast with bacon and added one scrambled eggs. One reason I like to eat local for breakfast is you get real eggs and not powdered or liquid eggs. The pancakes were very fluffy and the bacon was the thick-cut variety. Everything, including my coffee was really, really good. I saw a couple of plates from other patrons and the omelettes look good too.

    Check for meal

    When I came here from my last visit a couple years ago, I was expecting it to be very good. I like to be supportive of small businesses. The salad, okra, and beignets were good. I was under the impression I was getting the blue plate special price at supper for $12, which was entree and two sides. After eating my lasagna that was cold in the middle, I was trying to be positive. But, when I received my check for over $30, I knew something wasn't right. The two waitresses decided to inform me after the fact the blue plate was only for lunch. I would not think I would have to read in between the lines on a menu. Friendly atmosphere, but make sure you ask questions and read carefully or you will be deceived when receiving the check. It was sad they didn't even offer to compensate just a little bit or any adjustment or have a manager come talk to me. I paid in cash to get the cheaper price, since this meal was outside of my budget range I had in mind tonight. For current economic conditions, not for people barely making ends meet. But, the waitress was very sweet that is still learning and tipped her a dollar, since I know what it is like to work in the customer service industry. 01/08/2025

    Blue Plate Special. Fried chicken. The chicken was god but the sides didn't have ANY seasoning
    Janice S.

    It was "ok". Not really a place that I would seek out or recommend. It's definitely "diner food". Okay but, not anything special. I will say that it was not busy and we were on our lunch break so, that was a plus. ‍ I also didn't really care for the way their recipes work. One thing was printed and another was computed at the register. It's odd for sure!

    My husband and I had a great dining experience here. We were driving through on a weekday morning and stopped in. The hostess was friendly, we got seated right away, and table service was also expedient. Despite managing 4 other tables, she was able get us everything we needed for a complete and satisfying breakfast. We enjoyed the food and drinks. Without a doubt, if we lived in the area, we would return to try other items on the menu. Unfortunately, I don't know the server's name but she was VERY good and attentive (had a 1974 tattoo on her arm).

    Biscuits and gravy with a hashbrown bowel.  So good!

Not a…read moretraditional tavern that I could describe only to say I have never felt unwelcome here, never been cussed at here, never been given attitude here and NEVER been shot at. My go-to meal is the Werewolf Bait sandwich or Brii burger. I would argue that their cocktail menu and expertise is second to none in town. Always a perfectly tailored beer tap selection plus bottle and can selection. In the mood to play a game or games? They will have it here. Want an obscure drink? They will make it here...and likely make one you have not heard of. Head on over and you won't be disappointed.

Great Legos on display, a cool "game" vibe, and very friendly staff. The food was also really good. The chili cheese tots were excellent. The tots were crispy and the chili and cheese were delicious. My chicken sandwich on Texas toast was also very good. The pickles they put on this sandwich, along with the garlic mayo, really add great flavor, and the toast was buttered and perfectly toasted. The pizza was good and you can add extra pepperonis if you want, for $1. They have tons of board games and card games and even a few video games for people to play. They host gaming nights, apparently, which is cool. The service was also really good. They asked if we wanted water to go, and without asking, they brought a small to-go cup of lemons, since we had lemon with the water we had with our food. A very nice touch. It's an interesting place in the middle of Mississippi that is worth stopping at if you're passing through around lunch time.

A lot of fun drink options; my MIL ordered their spin on aperol spritz which was great and refreshing. Our food came out super quick & service was great. The ambiance was fast-paced, different seating options, and huge bar area. Our waitress was very attentive to us. What we ordered: Appetizer: onion rings - delicious not too much breading and crispy. So so good. The backyard (basically double cheese burger on Texas toast). Father in law said it was fantastic! Caesar salad (large) + add chicken. This is what I ordered. I enjoyed the chicken - kind of a Cajun season - but I did wish I was grilled! Patty melt: some kind of Big Mac sauce, gooey cheese, 10/10 from my husband. Cod sandwich : my MIL ordered this on sourdough; she really enjoyed it. You can swap out the sandwich bread to whatever bread of your liking. My family ordered fries as a side, love the hand cut type but they all said they were over salted. Overall, fun spot for a delicious lunch.

It wasn't a problem at all, just something I wasn't expecting. We also tried the onion rings. They were okay, but I really wish they came with some kind of dipping sauce. The biggest disappointment for me was the salad. It was basically just lettuce and cheese, so I definitely expected a little more there. That being said, I would absolutely eat here again. There are several other things on the menu I'd like to try, and the space itself is really nice and would be great for larger groups or crowds. Overall, a good lunch and definitely worth giving a try!
