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

The story behind the restaurant is incredible, and the food they serve up is even more incredible. Based on other reviews I read, I knew I had to try the fried chicken. They make it fresh to order and it's well worth the wait. I enjoyed reading various publications hanging on the wall while I waited. The fried squash! OH MY GOODNESS!!! I would seriously drive back just for that! When you are in Jackson, this is a MUST! I'll for sure be back when life takes me out that way. I'm truly grateful for the entire experience of meeting them and enjoying their delicious cuisine.

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.

They made the atmosphere uncertainly to be in. We had been informed in the past of their hamburger steak had been named best of in the steak. Well, we had to try, of course Our drinks and lunch came within minutes of ordering. The food came out hot and fresh, always a great sign. The turnip greens were good, but with some drops of Crystal's hot sauce, it leveled up the greens. Some liquor was on the bottom, and did what I was taught to do by some people I had met a couple of decades ago, I soaked pieces of my cornbread muffin into it. It is now my favourite way to eat cornbread with turnip greens. The green beans were still green with a slight crunch, not the most southern way to cook green beans, however, it is definitely my preferred. It was a little sweeter than I liked, but still delicious. Now for the mainstay, the hamburger steak. It was flavourful, and still had a great taste of beef. I did not detect any fillers, which is many people's home method, I think? It had a glossy gravy poured over it, which was even more delightful. Beef and gravy will always be one of my comfort foods.

It must be a rough area as well, as they have a guy standing outside the establishment with a hand cannon protecting the restaurant and the vehicles outside. All you anti-Second Amendment folks need to spend sometime here...it will become apparent why some people need guns...but I digress. I'm here to discuss the food. The catfish is excellent. Hands down the best option here. They know what they're doing with the bottom feeders. Strangely enough, the fried chicken is not. I would mark that as an avoid. And the spaghetti casserole was not bad, but not the greatest either. I'd go all in on that catfish. The sides are quite good. I highly recommend the corn, green beans, and lima beans. Those lima beans are wow! I'd love to have that recipe. Overall, if you know what to get, you'll have a great experience. Personally, I'm glad I got off the interstate and came here. This is America. Not what you see from the highway.

A hot mess but trying. There's a difference between a cook and a chef. 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.
