    pita mozz with ham and onion
    Tanya C.

    not sure why Keifer's isn't scored higher on the rating scale?? to me the food is consistently great, service is friendly and attentive and the prices can't be beat. you have the option of indoor or outdoor seating. i would like to see a few more choices for sides. the cottage fries they offer are my least favorite item. the pita mozzarella is one of my favorites and after 3 on tuesdays and thursdays is half price.

    Where's the meat? 35 year customer and sadly reporting that everything has declined. Food quality and service has consistently dropped. Jackson has lost so many legendary restaurants and this will soon join the ranks of history.

    Our work group had Friday lunch at Keifer's in Madison. The food and service was great!

    Pits are the pits, are they in cahoots with the local dentists or something?

    I was excited to try this place! My excitement was short lived... SEASONING PEOPLE!! can we have some salt and pepper on the food? Gyro sandwich tasted like beef jerky, chicken tasted plain and boring. And these potato things.... WTH? Take a giant potato, slice it and deep fry it. No seasoning and didn't even bother to make sure the pieces weren't stuck together. Pretty gross and not even crispy :( I'll stick with FILOs! Keiffers has some things to work on before I come back here. Server was nice... patio with A/C was nice, food bombed. Oh, and the olives have pits so watch your teeth!

    Hummus. Refrigerator cold. Not fresh. Made the day before.

    If you have even the slightest experience with Mediterranean food then the offerings here are not what you're expecting. The hummus, falafel, and gyro are just...Mississippized. We probably won't return intentionally. We have friends that don't know any better who like this food so we'll probably join them to socialize if they prefer it. The young girl serving us was obviously new at this. Very pushy and rushing us. You'd think if they could afford such a nice building that they could afford experienced servers.

    The food is amazing, from the creamy hummus with warm pita bread to the classic gyro that's packed with flavor and always hits the spot.

    I recently tried the Greek Beef Stick Wrap and paired it with the Spicy Feta Dip and homemade pita…read moreand both delivered big on flavor. From the time I walked in and until I walked out I was treated like family! The Greek Beef Stick Wrap was outstanding. The beef was seasoned perfectly with that classic Mediterranean blend of savory, slightly herby, and deeply flavorful without being overpowering. Every bite was balanced and satisfying, making it both hearty and fresh at the same time. The Spicy Feta Dip was the perfect complement. It had a bold, tanginess keeping things interesting without overwhelming the palate. The homemade pita sealed the deal it was warm, soft, and sturdy enough to scoop generously without falling apart. Overall, this was a flavorful, well-executed meal that felt both comforting and elevated. Definitely something I'd order again.

    Wait staff was very nice and the food came out promptly…read more We got the stuff grape leaves which were quite tasty but the food was OK at best. We like food with a lot of flavor and thus was kinda bland. I got the Pastitsio and there wasn't much meat in it at all. Wife got the chicken parm which again, not much flavor to it. I ate half mine, took the rest in a go box. Yeh Sunday at lunch I pulled it out, added a bunch of stuff and done red pepper flakes, it was much better. It's with a try though just to see if you like it. To bland for our liking

    Keifers is cool. I think the food at this location is okay. The cheesecake, however, is to die…read morefor! Listen, that slice of turtle cheesecake will run you $8 or $9, but it is SO worth it! Usually when I have large slices of dessert, I eat half and save the rest for later, but with this one I just can't stop myself! Lol There's plenty of seating at this location, both inside and out. I love that the patio is covered (good shade in this Mississippi heat)! Service - No issues. Overall, 1st choice - N. Congress location. If you miss out, give this one a shot! The cheesecake is worth the trip.

    Keifer's is a Jackson, Mississippi institution and an overall positive experience for a meal…read more It is located downtown across from the hospital. It has off-street parking. It has a cool.enough vibe outside and as you go up the stairs and walk inside, the ambiance is still pretty pleasant. I walked up to the counter and was asked if I was dining in or was it to go? If you opt to dine in, she hands you the proper amount of menus and you are told to sit anywhere. I opted to get my food to go and placed my order. I got the gyro (add mozzarella) and cottage fries. I ate my Mediterranean feast in a nearby park. The gyro was good and I did notice they shaved the meat directly instead of a spit instead of using pre-sliced pieces. This really does make a difference. The cottage fries were plentiful and was a large potato sliced in thick pieces and fried. I did find this under seasoned and greasy, but it was decent enough. Overall, I enjoyed my meal and would recommend it. I will givebit four stars overall.

A review for another time but once I left the glass place I needed comfort food. I love kebab. A friend was married to an Iranian guy and I got hooked on kebab, basmati and warm flatbread. I go in prepared to break my no flour program but I saw the salads and realized that I wasn't going to let the poor customer service experience at the glass place let me make bad choices. I was greeted by the sweetest young lady who offered to make recs for me before she left for my tea. I ordered the Lulu Greek salad add chicken shwarma. I asked her to keep the pita bread. Insert me sobbing here. It was hard but I did it. Man was that salad phenomenal. Chicken breast that had a nice crust on it but was not dry. Crisp vegetables. A delicious oil and vinegar based dressing. So much food. Excellent service. Very clean. Mediterranean music playing very low in the background. I cannot wait to return and try kebab with warm pita, rice and hummus but today my blood sugar thanked me for the good choices

    Good little Mediterranean spot in Jackson. We happened upon this place by chance as my lunch…read morecompanion said that it had just reopened recently after being closed for a while. We were headed to the place behind it, but I think they were closed on Mondays. Server was good. No issue there. She was attentive, helpful, and very efficient. It's kind of a hole in the wall kind of place. No real attention to the look inside really, but I don't care anything about that. We started with a colorful hummus dish and falafel for appetizers. The falafel was fantastic! It might have been the best I have ever had. Loved it!! Hummus was great too! I had the Combo plate for lunch. It had gyro meat and the driest chicken I've ever tried to eat. Gyro was pretty crunchy too. It came with more hummus, a salad with a great dressing, and some rice. It was just ok. It dampened the whole experience. I'm sure if it were fresh and tender, it would have been great. Forgot to snap a pic. I'd eat there again if I ever stumbled across it again. Probably would not seek it out though. '25 - 21/111
