Side salad

Martin's is a local favorite. Food is tastes good, prices are good and service is great. It's a great date night location, dinner with some friends or lunch with coworkers. It used to be considered a hole in the wall but it's anything but that. They have a section for late night live performances and a nice patio with inside dining too. My favorite dish are the steak bites. Seasoned well and cooked to your liking, you can't go wrong with this plus you get two sides!

My nephew comes over from Australia and visits some times. We have started a mission to find the best Po Boys everywhere we visit in the South. We have been working in down town Jackson Mississippi and are proud to crown Martin's the title of the best catfish sandwich in the capital district. The loaf was oven fresh and crusty, the catfish local and farm raised from the delta, lettuce crisp, tomato ripe and hard, the tartare sauce tangy. Catfish Po Boys are based on simplicity. Get the basics right and you will impress. Martin's does just that. If it's a nice fall day in down town Jackson, the patio and Po Boy is a great lunch choice. We found the Martin's experience to be the best.

Decent Old Fashion. It'll get you to where you need to be

Great food and service. Cannot complain about anything here. Will be doubling back to this spot when I'm back in the 'Sip

The fried clams are good but I could have drank the comeback sauce !! I ordered more it's that good.

This is a bar restaurant we sat inside on a hit Sunday afternoon, there was outdoor seating for cooler days. My husband had the steak gyros. I had deep fat fried Oysters, ok very crispy breading. The onion rings were delicious probably because the comeback sauce is one of the best I have had in Mississippi! We got to set ourselves and got a very efficient and friendly waitress.

I visited this place with a college friend. It was our first time trying the place. It had a nice atmosphere, and the food was decent.

I visited Names and Faces on a Thursday after wrapping up some business at the FedEx next door. A…read morehelpful worker there recommended the spot, though she warned me to order quickly since they stop serving food at 3 p.m. before reopening the kitchen for the evening crowd. I arrived around 2:10 p.m. and was greeted warmly by Valerie, the bartender, who was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Tired of the usual fried chicken and fish options that dominate Mississippi, I asked for a recommendation. She suggested the BLT with grilled chicken and fries, which I happily ordered. Though there was a small crowd, everyone was kind, and I never felt rushed. Valerie checked in on me during my meal, ensuring everything was to my liking. I paired the sandwich with a beer, and the chicken was tender and juicy, making the sandwich quite filling. I finished my meal a bit after 3 p.m., and no one made me feel uncomfortable about the time. I've heard their happy hour on Wednesdays is pretty good, so I plan to come back then while I'm still in town to check it out. I'll update my review afterward!

Great place to grab a bite to eat-have a drink after work-or catch up with friends…read more The staff is very accommodating and friendly from the bartenders to the security. Their catfish and wings are DELICIOUS! Highly recommend

I was born and raised in Jackson and moved to Byram when I was almost 30. Today is the first time…read moreI've ever been to Old Tavern and I'm disappointed in myself that it's my first visit. Rustic little spot near the corner of West and George St. I always thought it was strictly a bar, which probably accounts for me never eating here before. Only one guy worked the dining room but he did a good job for the most part. I ordered the Old Tavern Burger with the house cut fries. I asked if they really were house cut and he told me they cut them when ordered. My food didn't take long to come out and everything was piping hot. When I saw the shine on that bun and felt how soft it was, I knew I was in for a treat. This was one of the best burgers I've tasted. The patty was fresh and well seasoned and not dry at all. The fries made me super happy, as they were not only fresh cut but seasoned as well. While I was eating, two guys from the kitchen came out to check on everyone to ensure everyone was enjoying their food. My first visit won't be my last!
