This was my first time in Mississippi and I wanted to try a local restaurant. I searched Yelp and…read morefound this one, decided to give it a try. The staff was extremely friendly and patient while customers made their selections. You go up to the counter to order & pay and they bring your food out when it's ready. The seating area is large, clean, and has a relaxing vibe to it. We ordered the BBQ ribs & tips w/cabbage & dressing, BBQ ribs & tips w/green beans & yams, and the Chicken & dumplings w/green beans & baked beans. The meals all came with cornbread. The ribs had the perfect amount of smoke flavor & bbq sauce. They were also nice and tender. The sides were all flavorful and nicely seasoned, the cornbread was excellent. Highly recommend giving this restaurant a try

Welcome to a real southern fish house. You can order from the menu but most have the buffet. You…read morecan have catfish strips, or whole fried or steamed. There are fried frog legs. Two kinds of shrimp boiled or fried. Sides are greens, boiled potatoes and corn on the cob. You have to ask for slaw and they bring just enough. Everything is good. We were disappointed with the hush puppies. Nothing special. Two kinds of cobbler if you have room. I had the berry that was just right. The peach got a bad review. One more thing the cocktail sauce actually has horseradish in it. We got there at 5:30 on a rainy Saturday expecting to beat the dinner rush. Wrong. There are ten tables one seats two one seats three two seat eight. Several folks came in for carry out. If this is what you are looking this is the place. I'll be back.

I can name 10 restaurants in the Brandon /Flowood/ Jackson- Metro area that has burgers with more flavor than "the Zip's Burger". The french fries were not well done. They were very soggy actually they were inedible. That's why they were left on the plate. I added salt to each bite of my burger in order to have a little bit of flavor. Yes, it is a real ground beef, hand patty burger, and real potatoes and onion rings, but they are not fried in hot oil . Therefore, they are soggy. The location inside is absolutely filthy.

This place has a credible…read morerenowned chef, but the problems arise from the lack of capable kitchen help which makes Urban Country Kitchen's food preparation, quality, and service fall apart. One general never won a war alone. Capable soldiers are needed too. My visit here found the artistry and vision, but not the execution. The restaurant is set up in a cafeteria fashion herding patrons through a line. Often the posted menu items being served run out with large gaps occuring before they are replenished. The batches quality is varying because each time an item is never cooked the same. The service wait time is epic causing the customer line of many different races to start at the door. Thats a major flag because the place is only open for five hours and closes. The pricing of a dinner plate consisting of a meat option, two choices of various sides, a bread selection, bottomless lemonade or tea for dine-in patrons, and a dessert was on the spendy side to me, however, I think that's the norm now in this present economy. Overall, I give the food a six. My next visit should be better because I know the chef is good enough to right this ship and get it sailing on the proper course.
