It's a restaurant that thinks it wants to be Puerto Rican, but then tries to pull off southern/asian/latin fusion by putting sofrito and aji on everything. Who in PR is serving ginger noodles? The ginger noodles are cheap dried ramen noodles in a salty broth topped with some weird aji sauce, pork belly chunks and a few shrimp. All of our food was served cold to warm. It's overpriced cheap ingredients thrown together in an attempt to appease anyone's palate, but fails on all accounts. We canceled dessert and got out of there. To their credit they dropped the noodles after we complained. read more

Nice waitresses but holy hell. The burger was not edible. So salty I thought it was an anchovy. Appetizers were good. Get drinks and appetizers but avoid entrees at all cost. read more

Great server. Great ambiance. Nice cocktails and appetizers. Unfortunately both my husbands and my entree were so salty we couldn't finish our meals. . He got a burger and I got tacos with the beef. Maybe other entrees are ok. I would give it another try possibly cause it was a nice place and the service was good. The server consulted mgr and made it right but we really hate having to complain about a meal. Sorry about that. read more

Bartender with a bun is bad. Overcharges - $14 for a whiskey coke in Tupelo? Get real! Only reason I was ordering that is because they would not make me an old fashioned because "there is too many people here." Too busy to make a drink from your drink menu? Really? Literally boggles my mind to think about. Aside from that, the people working clearly didn't want anyone in there. Bad attitudes and bad service. Save your money!! They charge an arm and a leg for their subpar drinks. Edit: also served the $14, watered down drink in a plastic cup. read more

We've been here for multiple times for evenings out, birthdays, and other events with all positive experiences. The food is good and interesting for what Tupelo has to offer. The drinks are decent with the latest improvement being the glassware that was recently plastic. While the hosts can often be lackluster, the servers often go above and beyond. It's a cute spot with a unique interior. Definitely recommend. read more

The food was good but self service is more like a McDonalds, not what you want in a nice restaurant. I'm sure it's a one time experience for people wanting real service to go along with real restaurant food. Ambiance also more like McDonalds. It's not at all conducive to a pleasant evening out...very disappointing read more

Excellent restaurant I had breakfast and it was enjoyable to eat and spend time with wife while staying at the Tupelo Inn

Had the breakfast sandwich. The toast was burnt along with the fresh. The bacon on the sandwich was freezer burnt as well! Terrible food!​

The menu is in my opinion is very limited, so if you would like a particular dish then I would recommend going somewhere else.... The atmosphere is fine but the menu is lacking. read more

I stayed at the Hotel Tupelo and had dinner here one evening. The place was not too busy and I was able to get a lovely table outside on the patio so I could people watch. There was a great choice of beer and I had a tasty crab cake sandwich. All in all a relaxing evening and I would definitely dine here again. This restaurant does have breakfast (for a fee) for folks who stay at the hotel, but I did not participate in that. When I looked around in the AM it was very dead and no visible staff, but a pump coffee bar for $3+ a cup. read more

Set in the sparkling new Hotel Tupelo, this restaurant is fun and upbeat with a really good food sense. For those of us who visit Tupelo regularly, it is a welcome addition and long past overdue. Excellent charcuterie board, featuring Benton's and regional cheeses. Strong cocktail (and mocktail) program...love an Amaro-focused cocktail. I had a great version of New Orleans-style BBQ shrimp and my dining companion did the simple fish which had a lot of great flavors at work. We are well past the lemon-pepper tyranny of Tupelo dining of yesteryear. Also, I really want to try the Hotel Tupelo now. read more

please keep the hummus! it's the best! Such a fun & vibrant cool atmosphere Love the colors ! read more

Absolutely the best bbq shrimp and grits I have ever had in my life. Will definitely be back as often as I can.

Service was great especially for a party of 12. The food was unique and tasty! I would recommend this restaurant for brunch while in Tupelo MS. The strawberry mimosa was very good! read more

The food was good, very small portions and overpriced. Service was good, it was very loud in the restaurant. I don't think we would go back but glad we tried it once to see what it was all about. read more

Poor service. Wrong appetizer, guacamole was the color of a Mississippi dirt bank. A long wait for a burger order when there weren't but 2 tables and a couple at the bar- read more

Food and service were both excellent. Chace took very good care of us. Cocktails were top shelf - 2nd to none. Have and will continue to highly recommend Jobos. read more

We came for my husband's 50th birthday and had an amazing experience. I had the shrimp and grits and my husband had the filet. Both dishes were very flavorful. The steak was tender and the vegetables were perfectly done with the salsa verde on the side. The shrimp and grits were spicy but not over the top. We had the bread pudding and it was out of this world. I am not a dessert person and I could not stop eating! The atmosphere and service were top notch. Would definitely recommend trying this place. read more

My husband and I took my parents last night for the first time! Wow! Absolutely delicious! Drinks are great, food is so full of flavor and great portions. The atmosphere was eclectic and bold, and just the perfect place for a fun night out! We got the Butter burger, and catch of the day (Grouper). Would recommend all of it! read more

Jobos - Golden Mountain Steak SSam - Bars Near Me - Tupelo, Mississippi

Service: Good Food: Hummus not as good as I thought it would be, vegetables were really well done and fried. I am not sure if that was how it was supposed to come out. The pita was warm and tasty. I had the broccoli & cheese soup as well. I would recommend trying if it is the soup of the day. Most definitely would recommend the memory orchard cheesecake to try for dessert. I've been to the bar a few times as I frequent Hotel Tupelo for business and one of the bartenders suggested me to a good barber in the area. Another time when I was having a rough night, the same bartender gave me a free soft drink as well. Apparently it's the spot to be at when in Tupelo. read more

Great salmon which was the fish of the day. Potatoes are amazing. Service was very good and the atmosphere was wonderful.

The food was good, but a limited variety. I had the shrimp basket. Service was great and friendly. The atmosphere was too loud for my liking. Not a quiet date night spot, more suited for going out with a few friends. read more

Jobos - Menu in September 2022 - Bars Near Me - Tupelo, Mississippi

This was my first visit to Jobos. The atmosphere was very nice. There is a huge bar and, I would guess, maybe 15 tables for four inside, and approximately 10 tables for four outside. Jobos is located inside the new Boutique Hotel Tupelo, in the Fairpark District of Tupelo. The menu is very limited and fairly expensive. I had the "Shrimp Basket" which was served on paper inside a plastic basket. There were 4 nice size grilled shrimp on a skewer along with a large order of shoestring fried potatoes. While the shrimp were good, almost everything was too spicy to eat. The fries almost tasted like the top came off the salt shaker and poured out all over the food. The four shrimp and shoestring fries was $24.00. My wife had a "Butter Burger" which also included the same shoestring potatoes for $18.00. Also, very spicy. The burger included two meat patty's and a lot of other garnish. We both ordered a specialty drink from the bar; $10.00 and $12.00 respectively. My main good impression was the staff. Our waitress was Victoria, who took very good care of us. She was very friendly and personable. Many other staff members stopped by our table to ask if everything was ok or if we needed something. The restaurant was fairly busy when we got there, around 6:00 PM and still busy when we left at around 7:30. We used the Yelp reservations as suggested on www.jobotupelo.com. Not sure I will return. read more

Everything we had was outrageously salty. Nice patio. Good service. Limited menu. Dog friendly.

Yum!!! Only had the breakfast sandwich, but it was delicious. Service was exceptional too.

I was fortunate enough to eat hear last night. It was outstanding. We had about all of the appetizers in a group meeting. I really loved it. I liked it so much, I'm dying to go again soon. I want to try the entrees. Atmosphere was cool as well. read more

Excellent food and even better drinks. Seating is limited but reservations are recommended

Was not worth the price. :( atmosphere was cute and eclectic and service I would give a five star. But food - unique but expensive for the flavor. Think I paid for pretty and not for good. So can't even say it was pretty good. :/ read more

Weird and wonderful Had charcuterie and was really good Their pickles are great! Can't wait to go back

Great atmosphere, stunning decor and wonderful servers! We have been wanting to try Jobos and finally made that happen with an early dinner. I had the ginger scallion noodle dish which was out of this world delicious - ramen with shrimp, pork belly & pickled veggies. I would have it again today! My spouse enjoyed his Santa Cruz steak dish immensely. We ended the meal with a great blackberry cheesecake - locally made! Excellent! I should also add we had specialty cocktails that we can't wait to sample again - the lavender gin fizz and the bourbon smash - so good. This restaurant is a great add to Tupelo's food scene! Tip - make a reservation to ensure you have a table waiting! read more
