Stay in the car, drive up get your taken then they will bring it to the car. Friendly service. Open since 1981

I grew up eating Eddie and Ruby's. But I moved away and haven't found anything like them. So I drove back 500 miles to enjoy that good hometown flavor. Just to find they have terrible hours and don't let u in the building anymore. Pandemic ways in 2026. That's a terrible and disappointing way to run business. They don't care like the used to. And to be a landmark to many that grew up with them and supported them it's terrible the way they are now with the hours of service and not letting you in the building. There is no reason for it.​ read more

Worth the wait and money! The fish was fried to perfectly. If you order on line minimum waiting.

Made a stop for a late lunch at Eddie and Ruby's. Line wasn't long at all considering it was a little after 1pm when I went. The guy taking the orders is so sweet. As long as you move up when he tells you, you won't have any problems lol. Ordered the catfish sandwich, which comes with fries during lunch. I got 5 nice sized pieces of fish and the fries were the right amount for lunch. I'm still puzzled about this wheat bread though. I forgot they serve it so I didn't ask if I could get white instead. At least that saved me a few carbs not eating bread. I still love the way they're doing orders. I keep thinking they will probably never go back to the old way of customers coming inside. This way seems so much more efficient and you don't have to look for parking! read more

Eddie & Ruby's Snack Bar - Catfish sandwich with fries. - Fast Food Near Me - Jackson, Mississippi

My brother spoke endlessly about this place and I promised him I'd give it a try. He attended Jackson State University many years ago and he remembered this restaurant from that time. It was very popular. I stopped by and was told to get in line. They are not letting anyone walk in and they only do curbside service. The wait is pretty long but not unbearable. There were many cars already lined up and a man walks to each car and takes the order. I ordered a 4 piece catfish filet meal with fries. After about 30 minutes of waiting I finally was able to pull near the door and my order was given to me. The man who handed me my order was friendly. The fish was fresh and seasoned well and cooked perfectly. The fries were good. I paid $18.25 for my meal with card. I will be returning. :-) read more

Best fish in the world. We can't wait to get to Eddie and Ruby's when we go home to Jackson MS!

The fish is consistently exceptional; I always request it to be fried hard for added crispiness. It is an essential item for me whenever I return home. read more

It's our first time here, so we weren't sure if we could call in our order ahead of time. There's two ways to order, pull up to the "drive up" car lane, someone will come to your car and take your order, or through Waitr for pick up/delivery. We got there around 5pm, there were several cars in front of us, but they are fast, and the food is made fresh to order. We got the pan trout dinner (4 pan trout, 2 sides) with double fries, and 3 piece catfish filet sandwich (really 6 pieces), all fried hard. We waited 15mins at most. I was so excited to see my bundle of joy, white steaming bag of fried goodness delivered right to my car window. I got a whiff of the fresh, hot, fried fish, now I just had to take a peek (shouldn't have done that). It was over, I'm done, no way am I making home without a nibble... Y'all they piled this so high I got like the whole fish tank in my bag. Everything was so well seasoned, I did the happy dance all 35 minutes home. By the time we made it back, there was only 1 pan trout filet left The price is AMAZING! I couldn't find a menu online, so I looked at their menu through Waitr. If you're on a time crunch, I highly recommend ordering it through Waitr for pick up, the price difference is only .10-.30 cents, definitely worth saving you some time. Carlyn M. Hicks told me about it for a while now, I just haven't had a chance to come here since we live a little out. Easily my top 5 places to eat in Jackson. If you're out this way, DO NOT PASS on this place read more

I come from out of town from Seattle, WA and in the past this place has been a treat for me and my family but my last 2 visits have not been pleasant. Prior to COVID, it was a joy to interact with this family that owns and runs this establishment. My last 2 trips (post COVID) where we had to place our order from our car in the drive up line forced us to interact with his man who took our orders (man with a straw hat). He was RUDE, IMPATIENT, and CONDESCENDING when we asked questions before placing our orders. I thought maybe he was having an bad day but when I visited again a few days ago he displayed the same behavior. Behavior as if he was doing us a favor by allowing us to eat at his establishment. God forbid this man to actually appreciate his customers, his customers who frequent and support a black-owned business in the community or appreciation we were spending our hard-earned money at his business. I'm not sure who this guy is that takes the orders but someone who owns the business need to coach him on customer service- QUICK! I took my ass a few steps down the street at Valley Fish House and the fish was phenomenal, the lady and gentleman there was pleasant to talk with and this portions were better. Eddie's and Rubye's, please do better by correcting that rude man that takes the orders before he drive more business down the street. Signed Southern Girl in Seattle! read more

Catfish was really tasty. Food was hot and fresh. Cake with bread abs fries. Will try again in the future. read more

The man that takes your order needs to be replaced the way he talks to the customer I didn't get any fish because his attitude made me not want to spend money so if don't want to do the job stay home please FAITHFUL OVER 35 YEARS OF COMING THERE TODAY WAS THE WORST read more

Such a treat to have Eddie's and Ruby's. It reminds me of my undergrad days at JSU. The key here is not to order too much. My wife and I typically split a catfish order that comes with 4 (or 6) whole filets and fries and a salad.. Friends rave about the pan trout and they also have chicken wings and other snacks.. read more

That we've been ordering from our vehicles seen the pandemic! Just as a reminder, the guy that take your order is so RUDE! I've given been eating there for way over 26 years. It's people like me that keep your doors open! Send him to cook and not greet because when I pass through and notice it's him. I keep it moving! I know this is not the first time Patricia and Rita have heard this. read more

The food is great but the guy that takes the orders is very rude and he has a smart mouth. I love Eddie & Ruby's so much that I ate there twice today, once for lunch, and stopped by again for dinner. Since they never answer the phone I tried explaining a problem I encountered with my food a few weeks ago. I had my receipt and a picture of the food but he wasn't trying to hear nothing I had to say. Then he proceeded to say the manager is responsible for answering the phone and she was busy cooking the people food in front of me. This was his second time getting smart with me. I understand he's outside working in different weather but at the end of the day that's his job and I am a loyal paying customer. read more

The pan trout was very fresh and the portions were generous. The flavors and value is always on point . read more

I can't believe - I'm just doing a review on Eddie & Ruby's, well it's actually called Eddie's now. But I've been eating at this place for well over twenty years. Standard fair catfish, Pan Trout fish joint. But they are venturing in serving other things. But I stick to what they make best Catfish Fillets and Pan Trout (Whitting). But it's basic country cooking and some have the preference - you have Valley Street Fish House up the block and then you have Eddie's. Both are just as good as the other, Valley Street stays open later at night - therefor the increased business. But if you want some down home fried fish - you can't go wrong with Eddie's. For all you people caught up on aesthetics - Eddie's is in Washington Addition (the hood) - but I've seen people of all races and no one has had any problems. But if you get on the venturesome side looking for OTHER things - then you are on your own. But if you stick to the grub, you should be in good shape. read more

I was here today to get my husband his bday dinner because he loves their food. The man who takes orders confronted me because of where i parked after I've been waiting an hour..he is rude, loud and confrontational. The last time i ate here he was cursing and following a customer outside threating to fight him. If it wasnt for my husband bday I would have drove off. He is gonna run customers away with his stank attitude...WILL NOT BE BACK read more

THE BEST catfish that I've ever eaten in the area. I've been visiting the area for a decade or so and I was not disappointed by far. Every time I am in the area it is a must have for me and my daughter. read more

This place is definitely a hole in the wall, in a not so glamorous neighborhood, but don't let that fool you. The food is delicious. It's truly a no frills fish joint. The menu is limited but the quality of food is good. We had the catfish order and it didn't disappoint. The fish was fried to perfection and seasoned very well. It comes with fries, a salad, and white bread. The price is a little steep compared to what I'm used to paying back home, but it was worth it. If you're ever in Jackson, check it out. read more

If you're looking for some good ole fashion catfish, this is the spot! The food is awesome! The ladies in the kitchen remind me of my grandmother, just good cooking, plain and simple. read more

Eddie's is one of the places for fish in west Jackson. Its one of those local spots that everyone in the neighborhood knows when you stop by and say hi. You will probably not locate it on a list that showcases the best places in the city. You possibly won't find it in any newspaper advertisements. It is and has always been a word of mouth/ neighborhood place for really tasty country fish. Eddie's has been around for years- my parents went there when they were younger- so, its has a nostalgic element to it. If you are in doubt on what to order- the catfish is usually your best bet. read more

Been coming here since I was a kid in the 90's, amazing southern food and the pan trout fish sandwich is everything

This is one of the best fish sandwiches in Jackson. The fish came with about 5 perfectly fried fillets. So lots of fish. Kinda hot while waiting for the order but it is worth it. read more

I have been in Jackson for 2 years and was recommended this place by a coworker. This is by far the worse take out I have visited thus far. Flies were flying everywhere and one flew on someone food and all the kitchen worker did was close the plate. Very nasty, and the old lady that runs the register is so rude. I see there have been good reviews however I didn't get the experience they had. Me and another patron left after we saw all the flies. Be careful, flies lay eggs on whatever they land on. read more

Started out eating here when I used to live and worked in Jackson. Definitely on point for good fish since I use to take my son here when he would come visit for the summer as a little boy and now that he is an adult he wants to stop in and get fish when he visits now. Depending upon when you go there you can almost have a hour wait but is truly worth the wait. read more

This is the best place to get fried fish like momma cook at home. I've been coming here since my days at J-state (90's) when it was called Eddie's and Ruby's. I love the family that own it.
