I've never had a problem with any deliveries from Lillie's. I found the food delicious and plentiful l. It's a great place for vegetables as well as entrees. You can get double bread if you need it and your drink. I love this place. Oh, and the desserts are great also. read more

If you are looking for a good home cooked meal in Clinton Lillie's is the place to go. I ordered the baked chicken, collard greens, Mac and cheese with cornbread. The meal also came with a drink and white chocolate bread pudding. The baked chicken was well seasoned as well as the greens and Mac and cheese. The bread pudding was delicious. I look forward to eating here again. read more

Lillie's rocks, I cant wait for them to come back to clinton. Best comfort food in the clinton area by far!

The food here is amazing, but don't go or call in an order if you're in a hurry. The service is a little slow. Online orders say ready in 30min, but it's more like 45 minutes to an hour. I recommend the stuffed bell pepper and fried chicken for sure and the friend okra and Mac and cheese is amazing! The sweet tea is as well read more

Food was really good. The catfish, fried chicken, was superb, the batter was not thick but fresh and crispy. The batter & seasoning didn't overwhelm the food taste. Problem some of the best okra I have had in a long time. The mac&cheese has its own good taste, and not over cooked. Their bread pudding and pecan were great. Their drink machine was out of order. Water, Sweet, UnSweet tea and lemonade were available. Their Sunday after church drive through business is phenomenal. Nothing fancy, seating was adequate. Actually if customers were used to eat with multiple families at a table this is the place to make it happen. read more

Great food at good prices & friendly staff. Daily specials only - get there early because sometimes they run out of food read more

The food is great with a few minor issues. But overall the taste is great, the quality is good, and the service is excellent. We had the smoked Beef Rib, and the smoked prime rib. Our sides were Max-n-cheese, potato salad and collard greens. Now for the excellent parts, the sides were very good and they don't cook their vegetables with PORK! Huge plus! The greens were seasoned well and you could taste the garlic and it wasn't overpowering. The potato salad was awesome! I do t like traditional mustard potato salad and this was a cross between mustard and German and maybe ranch... great taste and fresh! The Mac-n-cheese tasted like grandmas Màc the only thing it's a little dry. They may need to add a little more butter and cream for a less dry texture but the FLAVOR is perfect! Just the right amount of pepper and not over salted or sugared. The prime rib was smoked well and tender! The beef rib was nice, not as pictured but about 4/6oz of meat on the bone. All was tender! It could have used a coast of seasonings while on the smoker... but the smoke was awesome! I personally make the nest beef ribs, but these won't disappoint anyone looking for beef rib. I only suggest that for the price you should get at least two! I've paid less for far larger ribs in Texas, and this is as close to Texas ribs as you're gonna get around here. Now the one bad thing... there was NO AIR FLOW! We wanted to eat in because we don't live in the area and it was stifling. We are hurriedly and couldn't really relax to enjoy the food. Also, our table wasn't properly cleaned. There were left over straw sleeve from someone previously and no napkins. We just got napkins from a near by table but with Covid they should be more mindful of cleaning tables entirely and properly. read more

Ordered chicken tettrazini on September 28, 2023. Yet when I got home and opened container, this is what I found. The cheese is not even melted, noodles and broth look more like a soup and only 4 small pieces of chicken were included in this gob. The pictures say it all. Money wasted and still hungry read more

I Ordered The 4 Vegetable Plate On 11/01/20 Did It On Line, My Husband Went To Pick It Up Got Home & I Was So Disappointed, Overcooked Cornbread Muffin That Was Totally Blackened, Mac & Cheese Was So Stiff & Over Cooked Turnip Greens Were Bitter, Also The Dressing Was As If It Had Been Cooked For Days... It Was Just Like I Received From Them About A Year Ago, I Thought Maybe I Would Try Just The Vegetable Plate, & Still No Win, I Just Don't Know Why Some Restaurants Don't Practice What They Preach..#tiredofnogoodfood read more

If you don't feel like cooking, this is a wonderful place to get good home-cooked food. To me, it's the best food West of I-220 in the Jackson area. I've eaten here twice and I enjoyed the Chicken & Dumplings as well as the Fried Catfish. Even my Mother, and Grandmother enjoyed eating here earlier today after Church. The food is seasoned well and the owner is a wonderful host. It was great to see the elderly and the young ordering take-out or dining in. The prices are very reasonable. I got an entree, 3 sides, a drink, and dessert for about 16 bucks. Portions are just right. I do not know what's in the chocolate chip pie, but that stuff is GOOD.... Also, I HATE fried okra but theirs makes me want to bag it and snack on it in front of a good movie. 5 stars from me and we'll be back!! read more

It does not taste any better Seasoned just right. Best fried chicken ever. Vegetables are cooked to perfection. Let's not forget the fried fish. Deserts are always tasty. Food always fresh. Service and Staff are friendly and helpful. Restaurant clean and nice ambience. Location on side of gas station, which doesn't seem to be an issue Love it Price is right read more

Lillies used to be one of my favorite restaurants in Clinton. I've visited this restaurant many times. However, as of late the quality of the food as taken a dive. Once the food here was like eating your grandmother's cooking. They can't have have the same people cooking the food like they once did. And I can tell the difference. The food was once served hot. Now its warm to cold. I'm super disappointed. I hope ya'll can get it together. read more

Soul food restaurant served cafeteria style. I always rate an establishment based on its food category, and this soul food restaurant is delicious! Meat was tender and spiced very nicely. The veggies the same, tender but not soggy and very well seasoned. I would rate this establishment in the realm of Bully's in downtown Jackson (although I didn't have BBQ here). High praise to be sure! The staff was very professional and very friendly. read more

Stopped for lunch. It's deli style with a changing menu. A meat and 3 vegetables. Today I got a tasty country fried steak, yams, creamed corn, fried okra and opted for black berry cobbler. This place is authentic soul food and fills you right up ! Great place for lunch. read more

Quaint little place. Cafeteria style servings. Today they served Fried & Baked Chicken, Okra, Corn Bread(with free extra serving), Green Beans, Burgers, Sweet Potatoes, Rice, Mashed Potatoes, Squash, Fries, Peach Cobbler & Pecan Pie(fabulous). Drinks? Just Tea & Lemonade. Check out their Facebook page for daily menu. Not bad for $20 for 2 people. read more

We had the Easter lunch and it was fabulous! This will be our new "go to" place for southern cooking. Delicious food and friendly customer service. Also, generous portions. read more

The best! Super friendly staff delicious reasonably priced food! Just wish they were open longer during the day!

Courteous service, great home style comfort food! Large portions and reasonable pricing. "A" rating! I'll be back!

Wow! This place is great. We were passing through town and found it on Yelp. I'm so glad we stopped. It is served cafeteria style with a choice of an entree and 3 vegetables or 2 vegetables and dessert. Today, they had fried chicken, chicken tettrazini, and baked chicken as entrees. They told us they post their daily menu on their Facebook page. I chose the baked chicken. For my sides, I chose mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, and okra. To be honest, there was something in the mashed potatoes I did not care for, but I still ate it. The green beans and okra were some of the best I have ever had. I forgot to mention that it also came with corn bread. I was disappointed they didn't have butter, but the corn bread did not need it. I was craving another piece and wouldnt you know it, they came around and offered another one. Yum! My husband also has baked chicken. His sides were green beans, sweet potatoes, and peach cobbler. All were great. The meal also comes with a choice of iced tea (sweet or unsweet) or lemonade. We are sorry we are just passing through and can't come here on a regular basis. read more

This place is great!! Friendly staff, good hot food, and their lemonade and sweet tea is Amazing

We've eaten at Lillie's on two Sundays after church. As we entered, we were greeted by a pleasant guitarist whose music helped transform the otherwise plain surroundings into a lovely homey place. The cafeteria style serving line is loaded with all the good things your grandma used to cook--fried & baked chicken, fried catfish, meatloaf, pork chops, chicken & dumplings, yams, cabbage, greens, peas, and the best fried okra you've ever eaten! Several choices of desserts were available, too. When we left, I asked my husband "Why would anyone want their mama to stand over a hot stove all day to put on a spread like that when you could go to Lillie's ?" We'll be back! read more

I just ate at the best southern home cooking restaurant ever. The food was so delicious and everything was made with fresh ingredients. My grilled chicken was so tender and flavorful and the cornbread was light and so good I didn't need butter. The owner was so helpful and attentive to our needs. The price was reasonable for an entree and three sides which could include dessert. The tea and lemonade were fresh and tasty. I will mark this jewel down as the place to lunch in CLINTON. read more

Great food. Catfish was excellent, and the cornbread is fantastic. Real, skillet fried okra. Small place, and friendly folks. Don't be put off by the fact that it's in the back part of a convenience store. You'll be sorry if you don't try this place. read more

The food here is very good especially on Wednesday's when they have grilled chops and carrot soufflé. The wait at the register can though test your patience at times especially right at noon. If you're a clean freak for clean tables it is a hit and miss here. The tables don't always get cleaned regularly so be prepared to do it yourself - done this on several occasions. Appears they are trying to get by with less staff but it does seem to hurt the time ordering and receiving the food. It's a toss up on service each time!! I've waited only 5 or 6 minutes for my order but also 25 minutes. Food is really good I promise but they do need to improve on all around service as well. This is an update to my previous review above. They seem to be improving on keeping tables cleared and cleaned so this is a welcome improvement. The food is always good. read more
