It's really ridiculous.

12 Ounce Ribeye Steak...FANTASTIC. The char and cook on my medium-rare order was perfect, and the…read moresteak was topped with a dab of herbed butter. This was a really good steak, and at 12 ounces comfortably filled me up, leaving room for the Mississippi Mud Pie. My side salad came with a Pecan dressing that was thick, tangy, and delicious. The salad was small, but beautifully plated and a great warm up to the steak. The steak came with bread, and slaw. The bread was lightly toasted and perfect for wiping up the steak drippings. The slaw was crisp and nicely dressed. My guest had the BLT...I have never, ever seen that much bacon on a BLT. The bacon was in two layers, with bread in between, and the garlic mayonaise help keep everything together. The Mississippi Mud Pie was excellent and nice to share. It's not a brownie, it's not a cake, but it is a chocolate wonder somewhere in between. Service on this October Friday night was spot on. Our waitress was friendly and helpful for us first-timers at the Council House Restaurant.

We started with the onion rings and fried cheese balls, which were hot, crispy, and definitely worth ordering. The burgers and patty melt were cooked well and came with perfectly seasoned crinkle fries. Dessert was the real star of the meal. The peach cobbler was warm, buttery, and full of fruit, the pecan pie was rich and gooey, and even the simple vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce hit the spot. I also appreciated the variety of Southern sides available: mac and cheese, turnips, black-eyed peas, lima beans, mashed potatoes and gravy, broccoli, salads, and more. Service was friendly, portions were generous, and prices felt reasonable for the amount of food we received. If you're looking for comfort food and homemade desserts, Jo's Diner is definitely worth a visit! **forgot to get a picture of the rest of the menu, but I'll get it next time :)

I really really don't like having to leave reviews for restaurants that aren't 5 stars, but I've…read moregot to be honest about my recent experience here. To start, the menus were absolutely filthy. They had food residue and greasy fingerprints all over them, and were torn and ripped in places. I was shocked that they do not at least have their menus laminated for this very reason. Everyone at our table noticed this and commented on it. This is a horrible first impression when you sit down at a restaurant, and needs to be corrected ASAP! I used to always love coming to Jo's diner over 10 years ago. I would usually get breakfast, and it was great. I decided to get something different today, and I think I just ordered the wrong thing. I ordered a house salad with fried chicken on top. They used to have this on the menu years ago, but I didn't see it; however, our server said she could have them make it for me. What I got was a small side salad ($5) with barely any chicken on it. The salad was in a little bowl, and had ONE chicken tender on top! I was even more surprised when I got my bill and noticed that I was charged $8 for said chicken tender. So for $13, you would expect to at least leave not hungry. I would've been better off just ordering a chicken tender platter and subbing the fries for a side salad or something. Lesson learned, I guess. Our server, Scarlett, was very attentive and really sweet, so that was a good thing! I love the vintage diner feel of this restaurant, and it brings back a lot of nostalgia of visiting "Brent's" in Jackson with my mom as a child. The next time I eat here, I will either get a daily blue plate or go back to getting breakfast. I just don't think salads are their specialty. I will come back and update my review if I do go back and it is better. (*Management: PLEASE get rid of the 3.5% fee for using a card as payment! I purposely avoid restaurants that do this to their customers. I used to work for a credit card processing company, and know that it is against card brand regulations to surcharge debit cards, which it clearly states on the bottom of your receipt that you do. This is a good way to get a hefty fine from the credit card companies. All it takes is one phone call from a disgruntled customer.)

I sat at the bar and was greeted warmly by all of the staff members. The bartender was so kind and welcoming. I enjoyed their Easy Street gin cocktail and I ordered the yellowfin tuna for my meal. The tuna was DELICIOUS. The vibe is very calming and HG seems like a very nice place to unwind. They had a lot of regulars which is always a good sign. I can't recommend this place enough. Definitely a keeper!

We somehow missed the large white board up front advertising the buffet options for the day. We started to regret not ordering the buffet, but we were reassured that if the buffet looked as good as it did, our burgers would not disappoint. And it was so. The Foothills Creole Burger was phenomenal. Easily one of the top 5 best burgers I've ever had, maybe top 3, if I could remember all of them. I might go back looking at food pics just to try to rank burgers. . . What was so good about it? The agglomeration of hearty, quality, southern ingredients with extra pizzazz. 8 oz angus chuck patty topped with Swiss cheese, fried green tomatoes, onion rings, and fried shrimp smothered with house crawfish sauce on a toasted jalapeño potato roll. Oh and the southwest chicken egg rolls were a slam dunk too. Quality ingredients, hearty portions, and one-of-a-kind creativity. Take me back!

Magnolia Restaurant 5/12/15 0200 Very good, 5 stars for…read moresure. This is a restaurant in a truck stop. It is VERY brightly lit by fluorescent lights. The place looks clean and I must say that I was very impressed to walk in at almost 2 in the morning to find a gentleman cleaning the light fixtures and the air conditioning vents. I notice things like that and can't get over the fact that someone was taking the time to do this. Its All-American menu consists of burgers, sandwiches, southern entrees and an extensive breakfast menu. Tables are clean with a single fork in a plastic bag for sanitary reasons. The condiments on the table are an off brand but that is not incredibly important. There appeared to be a sit down counter in front of the kitchen, kind of old school. Ordering was fairly simple, a server comes to the table to take and deliver the order. I had a hamburger combo that could be ordered with either French fries or onion rings; I opted for the fries and sweet tea and added cheese to my burger. MWH had an order of pancakes. Upon delivery, the server let me know that the cook mistook my order for a double. Presentation wise, I was expecting a single patty but was pleasantly surprised (and not charged) with the double. The burger appeared fresh, the patty was formed in house and the fries were hot. In the future, I will ask for the fries to be a little better cooked as they were soggy but hot all the same. MWH's pancakes looked to be hot and fresh. My burger and fries were very greasy, but this is a truck stop and they are known for being a "greasy spoon", I can't say that I was shocked or disappointed. In fact, it was part of the expectation going in so I was not disappointed in that respect either. The quality was exactly what I would expect of a 24 hour truck stop restaurant. I would say that it is a step over other 24 hour all American diners. The server was attentive and checked back often to ensure that we were satisfied and taken care of. On the way out, I continued to observe the cleanliness and was altogether pleased. I will definitely be back and will continue to report on this establishment. Being a server myself, it is nice to have a go to place where I can eat after my restaurant closes; this will be it.

For it to be a truck stop diner it was very good and clean. Friendly service and great sweet tea!read more
