Okay, full disclosure: I love this place in a ridiculous way. It's not fancy, nice, or even…read moreparticularly clean. If you're heading to F. Jones though, you're not going somewhere where you're trying to be fancy. You just wanna dance to some blues and have a damn good time. And you WILL. F. Jones is THE late night spot in Jackson. I'm not even entirely sure what time this place opens. I think it's 10 or 11? I know if you get there before midnight most nights, you can avoid paying cover. BUT, I don't think I've ever showed up before midnight. This place pops off past midnight. This is where everyone heads once the other bars are closing, so everyone has usually already had a couple drinks. (PS, take an UBER! Do not drink and drive!) There is always live music-- typically some very Mississippi blues act. Everyone is dancing and having such a good time on the dance floor. The bar is dark, smoky, and crowded. It's VERY Mississippi. Outside, they are usually smoking some hot dogs, burgers, BBQ. It's cheap and delicious, and usually JUST what you need at that time of the night. The drinks are cheap. Cover to get in is usually $10, and you can get beers as cheap as $2 or $3 usually. F. Jones is definitely not an EVERY night type of thing. I mean, it's a LATE night. But every now and then, it's a really good time and definitely worth your while. Go get your dance on, y'all.

Each special comes with a choice of bread and two sides, but you can add a third one for just $1.00. My go-to is the pot roast blue plate. I get it with cheese grits, fried okra and green beans (unless they have cabbage as the vegetable of the day). Martin's has THE BEST fried okra. The Redfish Kathleen is also delicious! I'm a sucker for crawfish cream sauce. Drinks are always good, and so is service. The atmosphere is very chill. Come as you are. There are a few seating areas: The bar, the patio, the main dining area and back dining room. They have live musicians on the patio on Friday nights. Martin's also has another room with a stage for events. Go!

The prices are reasonable. They also serve coffee, teas, sodas and boozy cocktails. Since it was brunch we ordered mimosas. There was a mix up and the server forgot to put in the appetizer, but Ana and the manager were extremely apologetic and made up for it. They have live music but sadly not on the day we were there. Parking can be a bit of a challenge, since the surface lot is shared between 3 restaurants. The company also owns and runs the restaurant next door called the Walk-in. It's super cute and open late night. Zee, the bartender made us a couple of Hugo spritz's- which were perfect. When in Jackson, this is a definite stop. They also serve po boys and other yummy sounding entrees. Reservations are recommended.

We came at the start of lunch hour, and there was a long wait (due to regulars being smarter than us and ordering ahead). The wait was worth it. 11 ounces of beef in a single burger???? Yep. And the seasonings were perfect. Husband and I went bunless, which was a smart choice because it was so filling and we definitely needed room for the fries! Our 12 year old is a self-proclaimed burger connoisseur and he said it was a perfect blend of quality and quantity. He ate all but four bites. (Took the pic on the road so it's a bit blurry.) Our 9 year old didn't order there because he's not a burger guy, but he really loved the friendliness of the staff and the other patrons. The vibe was welcoming and cozy, even for a group of four Texan outsiders.

Our sweet and tangy wings are the best of both worlds, a little sweet and a little bit of heat.

I got the three pieces wing battered. They were fried really hard is why I gave 4 stars. Came out hot though but was just way to hard and crispy for my liking. I had the spicy garlic sauce and ranch to pair. She also suggested the duck & cream cheese wontons. Which were also good. Just only gave you 4 so to me the portion and price point didn't match. Other then then everything else was good. Jameson and ginger is my go to and it was done right. Really hard to fuck that up but everything was good. Plenty of TVs if you want to watch the games. So ambiance was good. I would definitely recommend.

Open after hours, The Walk In serves up cocktails, mocktails, wine, beer with or without the booze, and light bites. We ordered a Pupu Platter and I got a mocktail. The Pupu platter came with eggrolls, shrimp over rice, wontons, bulgogi skewers w/ peanut sauce and sliced beef. Portion was perfect for two people. The platter has a fire pit in the middle in case you want your beef cooked a little longer. I love this - one because it looks cool, but also when people like their meat different temperatures. This did get a little smoky after a while though. Drinks were cool. I love that they have so many mocktail /non booze beer and wine options along with the regular menu. My drink was okay, a little vinegary, but not bad. Overall, I love the vibe of The Walk In and the Pupu Platter was a great choice!
