    If you're thinking about visiting Elvie's, don't hesitate! We decided to find a spot for breakfast after flying into Jackson in the early A.M. We looked on YELP and found Elvie's and decided to give it a shot! We're so glad we did! The warm, friendly greeting set the tone for a very hospitable experience. We perused the menu and soon the three of us, decided to order the pancakes, French classic omelet with sides of bacon and sausage (for extra protein), and a fried chicken biscuit with a side of potatoes. Everything was presented with care and attention to plating. The food was tasty & freshly prepared. The interior is modern and cozy and there are a few tables on the front patio. You can peruse the pictures of "Elvie" on the wall. There's also a framed James Beard nomination on the wall. We're so glad we picked this particular restaurant!

    Grits, Eggs, Sausage and Biscuit
    Ray J.

    Elvie's is one of those neighborhood spots that just gets it. This breakfast plate hit the mark--simple, well-executed, and comforting, from the fluffy eggs to the biscuit and savory sausage. The service is friendly and attentive without hovering, and the ambiance has that warm Belhaven charm--relaxed, welcoming, and perfect for easing into your morning. A great place to slow down, enjoy a solid meal, and feel taken care of.

    Saint valentine

    I would give the food five stars, the ambiance 4 stars, and the service 3 stars which gives an overall rating of four stars. I ordered a shrimp cocktail, a specialty drink called the Saint Valentine, and the chef's board. The chef's board is a fancy charcuterie style dish where the chef chooses the meats and it varies based on when you come in. I thought the meat selection was good and I really liked the pecan jam it comes with. My shrimp were juicy and tasty. The person I was with didn't like the menu too much and only ordered fries. The ambiance is nice because it's in a trendy part of town and they have a nice bar area and the lighting is just right. The reason why I only give service three stars is for a few reason. Firstly, the host sat me at the bar and I was waiting several minutes to be given a menu. I thought the people behind the bar would give me one. Then I saw the host sat a couple people beside me and he gave them menus... even though I hadn't been offered one. I had to ask the host to give me menus. Also I was bothered because I ordered the shrimp cocktail as an appetizer and it wasn't given to me before my meal. I noticed it sitting on the counter (uncomfortably placed beside a used cup) and I asked for it. They did not give it to me because they said I needed to wait for my friend's fries to be done. I had to stare at my shrimp for 10-15 minutes just sitting on the counter while I was hungry because they wouldn't just hand it to me. I don't think I would come here again.

    Shrimp and grits, duck fat hash browns, Caesar salad
    Sharon S.

    One of my favorites for the shrimp and grits! The roux has an authentic Cajun flavor and all of the spices and seasoning are balanced perfectly. The poached egg on top of the dish sets it off....and I'm not typically a "runny/sunny egg" girl! The duck fat hash browns are crisp. The service is always 10/10 and the ambiance is nice and quaint!

    Steak frites

    Listed in the Michelin Guide, the food I received was under seasoned and over priced. I'm in Jackson for work once a year for work and this was one of my first stops. I had to ask for salt. They actually don't have salt and pepper shakers, so they gave me the salt and pepper on a plate. I have no issue with that but that shows you how (falsely) confident they are in the seasoning of their food. Same phrase, different restaurant, I WON'T BE BACK .

    During a day stroll, I decided to visit this restaurant based on a friend's recommendation, and I was certainly not disappointed. It lived up to all the hype and awards I've read about. Being a fan of both boudin and escargot, I was thrilled to find they had combined these two for a limited time, and they were phenomenal, to say the least. A very southern cozy vibe especially at the bar. I sampled an array of cocktails, but my favorite was the Negroni served "IN" ice. The cocktail arrived in a glass with an ice ball and a small hammer. Initially, I was a bit confused but pleasantly intrigued. I was instructed to crack the ice to access my drink. After a few taps, the ice shattered, and the cocktail flowed out elegantly as the ice pieces danced to a smooth stop. I loved every second of my experience there and look forward to returning one day.

    Classic Americaine: soft scrambled eggs, sausage, cheese grits, biscuit
    Yvonneverona_ R.

    Came during a the 5k, so it was quite busy. I got an espresso martini and the Classic Americaine meal--both were fantastic! The martini had actual espresso instead of a liquor and didn't have a lot of syrups. The sausage had a kick to it which was delicious. The vibe was very relaxing and old school. I loved the bar set up. Was worth the wait!

    "corrected" parmesan risotto
    Kyle H.

    Tonight marked our 7th visit to Elvie's since moving to Jackson in July '24. It quickly became one of our top dining spots, and until now, every experience had been a clear 5-star. We arrived at 6:30 pm on a Wednesday, were warmly greeted, and promptly seated. We ordered our usual apps--duck fat fries and beef tartare--both excellent as always. After finishing, we ordered entrees: pork chop for my husband and the amberjack & risotto special for me. As the restaurant filled, we noticed that tables seated after us had already received their entrees while we were still waiting. When our food arrived (about 25 minutes later), my husband's pork chop looked phenomenal, but my risotto was clearly off--soupy and undercooked, with grains of rice that crunched in my teeth. I politely pointed this out to our server, who agreed it looked off and took it back to be corrected. She separated my amberjack so I could enjoy it while waiting. When the risotto returned, it was fully cooked but even runnier than before--almost like soup. Though I tried to eat a few bites, it was unappetizing. Our server checked in, and not wanting to seem difficult, I hesitantly said it was okay. When the manager later asked if it was better, we admitted, "not exactly... just an off night." She replied, "our chef likes to prepare risotto a bit on the al dente side," which felt dismissive--this wasn't al dente, it was initially crunchy and then overly runny. Our total was $140 (without dessert or cocktails). We love Elvie's and plan to return, hoping this was just an outlier. However, we'd appreciate issues being handled with a bit more care in the future.

    Churchill's Breakfast
    Adam H.

    We had a great meal on our visit. Absolutely loved everything that we put in our pudgy little mouths! We arrive to find a wait for tables but were able to slide right up to the bar on the left where the cooks line and expo are. This made for a birds eye view of the crew as they prepared the food for the restaurant full of patrons. Most people would probably hate the view, but I loved it. It was awesome to watch them assemble the various entrees. I had Churchill's breakfast to drink and loved it. I see why he was such a cool Prez now! Duck fat hash browns is a whole ass dish here and it is fucking fantastic! Get it and you will not be disappointed. Bloody Mary is great but paper straws suck!!! I really wished that I lived closer so I could come here all of the time. I wanted to come the last time I was in town but they were closed on Sunday. Damn it. I guess it will be next time. '24 - 26/100

    Food is terrific Service is excellent It's a little bit loud in here, but you can still carry on the conversation.

    Tuna Carpaccio, Jackson Jewels Oysters, Ghost of Christmas Past cocktail

    Another 5/5 dining experience! Elvie's has a become a mandatory stop any time I'm in Jackson visiting family. We were seated at the "chef's counter" facing the kitchen, which I enjoyed. Tonight's meal started with Jackson Jewel oysters, tuna carpaccio, the Oysters Elveretta, and some delicious French bread with onion butter. Entrees were the Duck Two Ways for me and the Quail Chasseur for my friend. Drinks included a dirty martini, a gin-based seasonal holiday drink called The Ghost of Christmas Past, and a "dealer's choice" martini. Our waitress was so great and I'm currently kicking myself for forgetting her name, but she definitely made our experience at that much. Love Elvie's, love the food, love the ambiance.

Parking was tight and hard to to manuever but they did have a cart available for rooms that are further away - partially broken. 2. In downtown area, kind of dingy and run down - but somewhat charming w many old craftsman homes around. 3.

We went specifically for shakes and ended up adding a basket of fries, which we absolutely demolished. The service was excellent -- our milkshake and fries arrived within just a few minutes of ordering. The fries were seasoned really well, though I'm pretty sure the secret is a slightly sweet sugar blend mixed into the seasoning. Either way, they were addictive. The milkshake we tried was the Ginger Finger -- a vanilla shake blended with Butterfinger candy and a hint of ginger that gives it a subtle bite. It was unique and delicious. There's plenty of seating for everyone, whether you're dining solo, as a couple, or with a large group. The walls are lined with interesting photos that add to the charm, and parking is plentiful.
