Bbq grits

The atmosphere and customer service was great. The food was very bland. $53 for a tasteless, medium center cut butterfly steak was not what I expected. Tasted like I was eating a fresh dead cow. Nothing spectacular about this restaurant. Would not recommend or revisit unless you enjoy overpriced food with no seasoning.

BBQ Shrimp & Grits

Service was amazing, & the food was very good. The Shrimp & Grits are a must try! So delicious!! Thank you Amanda for such great service.

Lump crab cakes.

I could have cried over the lack of service over my entire visit. Felt totally invisible, and they were not busy. Meal service at the bar: I do not recommend. Common service such as cleaning my space. Checking on me. Providing utensils. I had a $50 meal so it wasn't like I just ordered bar peanuts. The food quality was the only saving grace. I should have asked to have my own table.

Tenderloin tips! Next level and TONS of meat!

This was a super cool and unexpectedly unique experience on our trip to Jackson! Firstly, very calm, subdued beautifully decorated restaurant! Staff seemed super friendly and my Mother-In-Law loved that there was a "no hats indoors" (not sure of the specific verbiage) sign on the front door. I got some fries that turned out to be ALL the fries. Everywhere. There is now a national fry shortage because of the mountain of delicious fries that were depositied on our table! These are a must. The tenderloin tips were stellar! So earthy with the mushrooms and other veggies! I am not sure if I would want to recommend anything else. I am sure all items are nice but this...was...next...level meat! All-in-all a great time with family and wonderful food! Will add this to my "Back in Jackson" bookmarks!

B-Day Shot!

Overcooked choice-grade filets. Awkward upstairs location. For an upgraded experience for the same price, go to MM Shapley's.

Cool spot. Nice decor. Fries were decent. Drinks were a little small and watered down for the cost…read more Although, one lady bartender made me a good drink. The rest of the drinks were trash. Still had a good time.

I desperately needed a girls day out! We decided on Mbar for lunch on Sunday! No reservations…read moreneeded but early arrival suggested! We got there right at opening! These is a huge parking area but if that's packed you can park across the street for no fee! The vibe was everything. They had the Sunday NFL games playing. I was able to see the saints beat the falcons! (WHO DAT ) Our waitress( forgot her name) was very attentive although she had multiple guest to assist! We tipped her very well bc there's nothing I appreciate more I got the 1 meat(fried chicken) with 2 sides( red beans and rice and mac n cheese) the chicken was a bit salty, red beans and rice had no flavor neither did the mac n cheese.... Im a fruity girl when it comes to the drinks and the F*** me 12 times was delicious!!! I had 3 (dont judge me) we also got a hookah for $30 the girl will come around and ask if you want one! This was my first time eating here so I expected more as far as food. The vibe did not disappoint!!! Obviously this is a popular brunch spot because it didn't take long for the crowd to arrive. I'd definitely choose this spot again! Only gave 4 starts bc of the food! Hope this tells your everything you need to know! #like #love #helpful

Came here because it was one of the few places open on Easter Sunday as we were driving home, and…read morewe were very impressed. First, the decor is very cool. 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.

If you are into all things nerdy, this would be a great restaurant and Tavern for you to visit. I…read morewas in town on business and looking for a place to have dinner. While doing so I stumbled across this location and decided to give it a try. I was amused by all the nerdy decor so I decided to nerd out and have dinner while watching Star Trek. My waiter explain the menu to me when I told him it was my first visit and offered good suggestions on items I should try. He informed me that they have various nights where they have board games, movies, and other activities. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw and pretzel bites. The food came out in a timely manner and was well prepared at a great temperature. Although the coleslaw was bland, you can tell it was freshly made. The pulled pork was a good portion and flavorful while the pretzel bites were fluffy and salty just like you would want them. As to my old fashioned, it tasted good, but they didn't include the traditional cherry for the old fashioned. I enjoyed this experience and the next time I'm in town I will visit for sure.
