I only had the carrot cake. A great carrot cake, very moist. Remember, it starts with the cake. Yes, this has the traditional cream cheese frosting, nice. I do see a nut, possible walnut or pecan, grated carrots, maybe golden raisins, a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg. I would get this again. read more

Primos Cafe - A great carrot cake. - Desserts Near Me - Ridgeland, Mississippi

Great service when I walked in the door , friendly cashiers and workers . I ordered the breakfast, it was good and hot .

I'm a very long time customer here. Food is basic but has been good. Since the change in management service is a little slow, mainly from order to table but still not bad. read more

Always dependable, good quality and seasoned just the way unlike it. Hard to go wrong with this choice.

We went for lunch on a weekend and got breakfast, which is served all day. The service was fast and courteous. The food was great, and the prices were very reasonable. And the bakery! OMG! You've got to get some cookies, brownies, and muffins! This was my favorite part. Again, the prices were reasonable and everything we tried was yummy! read more

It's sad when a once former great dining venue turns South. Always and forever a Jackson institution, it sadly is just not the same. The food quality has really suffered. If you must : go at lunch. Breakfasts and Dinners are hit and miss; cold often ---precooked and served on warm plates to disguise. Only the bakery continues the excellence we all remember. Breaks my heart. Having grown up w Capitol and North State locales. The current mantra of pack em and send em out shows in the taste. It wins by default. It's too bad there is no competition to make them raise the bar. read more

Recently my family and I decided to stop at Primos for breakfast after attending a morning event. Keep in mind I have been a Primos customer for years, buying their cakes, lunches, pies etc. Even though I stopped buying their cakes and pies due to quality failing I still decided to try their breakfast. The service was the worst I ever seen from any Primos location. The lady at the counter basically tried to rush every one in my family to order, very rude. So rude that I was ready to take my business elsewhere. The food took a while to be served and it was bland. No one in my party finished their plates. It will be a very long time before I give Primos another try at anything. read more

This place is great. Good home style meals at reasonable prices. The fried chicken is the best! The service is spectacular. Lots of side dishes to choose from. My personal favorites are the black eyed peas, Mac & cheese, mash potatoes, and rice. I also love the cornbread muffins. My girlfriend is a huge fan of the strawberry cake. I've been here a few times now and I have been impressed every time. This is real food. For that "sticks to your ribs", as the saying goes. I leave full and stay that way hours after I've left. read more

I'm a really really big fan of Primos. I have and always will love it. I grew up in Jackson and have since moved away but it will always have a special place in my heart. The variety of options are one of my favorite part of the restaurant. They have everything from Grits for breakfast to club sandwiches to Southern cooking vegetable plates. And on top of it all it's VERY affordable especially given the convenience and how fast your food arrives. Also the Iced Tea might be my favorite in Jackson. The absolute best part about Primos is the bakery. The caramel cake is my one vice in life. How I miss the smooth, light, and airy caramel cake. I'm getting hungry just writing this. All in all I strongly encourage you to go! Also, last time I checked (which was a while ago) restaurant.com offered a pretty good gift card so you might want to check that out before you go. read more

Generally good food. Service is not in their business model. Pay at the counter when you walk in the door. NO table service. But your receipt will most certainly have a line for tip. Don't do it. You'll regret it! Pay at the counter, Help your self to beverages, condiments, napkins, refills. No one will ever ask you how the food was, drink refills, etc. Basically, Breakfast should not take 35 minutes to hit the table Luke warm when 75 % of the tables are empty. I think Waffle House may serve you better, faster, cheaper.....but not with better coffee. Yeah, find a better place! read more

Best breakfast in central Mississippi. We have to eat here when I'm in Madison. Excellent food and the service is great! read more

Primos Cafe - Entrance to Primos - Desserts Near Me - Ridgeland, Mississippi

This place came very highly recommended by a fellow patron and an employee of the hotel we are in tonight. It's a local independent mom and pop diner. Apparently it's been around a while. You order from the counter and your food is brought to you but there is no server. We were on our own for drinks, condiments.... They serve a basic diner menu. All day breakfast, sandwiches, salads, fried food and a blue plate special daily. My daughter wanted the pancakes and sausage. No kids meal for breakfast so 3 pancakes and a single piece of sausage was $8.00. She liked it. My son ate one of the pancakes and said it was pretty good. Not 8 bucks good. My son went with a sandwich and fries for $10.00. Think it was called the Eagle... with bacon ham and turkey. Not an over stuffed deli sandwich. Modest amounts of each of the meats with a little cheese. It was an ok sandwich nothing special. Fries are Arby's curly fries which he liked. I went blue plate with Mississippi fried catfish, purple hull peas and turnip greens with a cornbread muffin for $9.50. The catfish was thin strips they were ok. The purple hull peas were actually canned black eyed peas and the turnip greens were bland from frozen. The tater sauce was the best thing about my meal. It was house made and looked like honey mustard, but had a mild kick as if they added mustard and a few special ingredients to it. It was good. My son saw someone else's onion rings and needed an order. So I went back to the counter and ordered a small. They were fresh house made and piping hot. They came with a sauce I didn't care for but the onion rings themselves were good and far and away the best item on the table. A lady brought our onion rings. She was far more friendly and personable than the person that brought our meal. She asked if she could give my daughter a cookie. So my daughter went with her to pick one out. She was nice and likely in management. I saw her bring out a few orders and her demeanor was much better than the other people bringing out orders. Night and day difference. It was a nice gesture. All in all it was ok. Don't know that I will ever need to go back. read more

Wow. Nice place with great service. Today I tried the famous cakes - actually the strawberry cake. Delicious. Nice serving size and price. Just a nice Easter treat. All the baked goods look very tempting. Recommended if you have a sweet tooth to indulge! read more

This is a neat cafeteria-style diner. The blue plate options look really good, (pork chops or chicken pot pie today) but I got a club sandwich. The sandwich was ok- kinda dry- a special sauce or mayo would have made it lots better. I like that they serve breakfast all day. This is a nice place for a quick lunch. It's a diner, not a fine dining experience, but the service was friendly and it was a decent lunch experience. read more

Primos Cafe - Club sandwich. Decent, kinda dry. Mayo or special sauce would have made it lots better. - Desserts Near Me - Ridgeland, Mississippi

While in Jackson, I was looking for a local restaurant. After reading Primo's website I decided this was a great local option. When we walked in the T-shirts said, southern food for city folk. Which is me so I felt like I fit in perfectly. Came in for lunch on a Thursday with a coworker because it was Thursday. And on Thursday they serve fried chicken. We came in and there was a large clump of people trying to form a line to order at the counter. I wish they would have some kind of ropes set up to make it more organized. After ordering all the tables were full so we sat at the bar. This actually was kinda fun because we got to see all the food come out. I ordered the fried chicken with cole slaw and mac and cheese. The fried chicken was so juicy and crispy on the outside! I highly recommend it. The cole slaw was refreshing. The mac and cheese was ok. We also got chocolate cake to go, it was heavenly!!! So rich and delicious. If you are in a hurry, there is a fridge with food to go including dessert. Primos is a great option for a quick lunch. read more

This place is great! I'm gonna get honest with you Yelpers and admit I've never ordered off the lunch or dinner menu at Primos. I've been a million times and either get breakfast or dessert. (Not a bad way to live, in my opinion.) The cheese grits are divine. My friends and I get cravings for them and have yet to replicate them in the kitchen. They are so creamy and fluffy at the same time while tasty so perfectly cheesy and buttery. How do they do it? And their bacon and pancakes are good, too. The syrup is brought out in an individual package (weird). Their desserts are really good too! Good for meeting up for something sweet instead of coffee. The absolute best thing about Primo's is the atmosphere. Everyone from all walks of life and ages is eating there. You have business men and women, young couples, older couples, families with kids, and teenagers all hanging out. And you can hang out! It's one of those places where people feel comfortable sitting around for 2-3 hours and enjoying themselves, talking, and/or just reading the newspaper (old school, I know). So check it out! They've got some cool pictures of Jackson from the 30s on the walls. I really wish the one on State Street still existed. Primo's is an important part of Jackson and Mississippi's history. read more

Had lunch here for the first time after driving by weekly on our trip to the grocery store. The dinner was clean and the staff was really friendly. I ordered the Biloxi express (aka shirmp poboy) and girlfriend ordered the gumbo. The bread of the shirmp po boy was amazing. Pillow soft with a nice crunch on the outside. The popcorn shirmp was just the right size with enough batter. The gumbo was 6/10 and it was only luke warm when it was brought out to us. The corn bread it came with was great though. Next time I'm gonna be trying the dessert menu! Also this particular primo is pretty quite mid afternoon and would probably make a nice study dinner since the booth is very comfortable and there are outlets for most booth. Free coffee refills! read more

See all

The best thing about primos is their breakfasts and desserts. I've eaten blue plates there all my life because others have wanted to go. Never have found anything I like. read more

Primos is a favorite of mine for a meal any time of day! There's a good variety of foods available and breakfast is served all day. Their biscuits are made fresh every morning, so sadly they are usually out by dinner. The place is always clean, and the staff is super friendly. I highly recommend! read more

Primos Cafe - The Early Bird Platter! - Desserts Near Me - Ridgeland, Mississippi

One of my favorite places for breakfast in the JXN area. I love the omelette with Swiss. with wheat toast. Great, down home service and food! read more

Primos Cafe is a staple around Jackson. They are famous for their lunch blue plates. The blue plate specials change for each day of the week and stay the same, for the most part. If you have a favorite food, you can plan which day to go. The food is always good. It's traditional southern fare with a choice of about three meats and about a dozen veggies to choose from. If blue plate isn't your thing, they have a traditional menu, with salads, burgers, and other items to choose from. They also are open for breakfast and have everything from pancakes to traditional eggs, grits and toast. If you have room left, or want a take out, be sure to check out their huge selection of AWESOME desserts from various cakes to pies and such. If you have never tried Primos, this is a must. read more

Always a fan of this location. Steady traffic & great service in an easily accessible location with plenty of parking! For breakfast, they offer the early bird platter - two eggs, bacon, grits or hashbrowns, toast or a biscuit. Breakfast menu has a large selection of plates, sides, and pastries. For lunch today I tried the Tiger Wrap for the first time - marinated grilled chicken with onions, peppers, lettuce, tomato, salsa, sour cream, and cheddar cheese in an herb tortilla. WAS FANTASTIC! They do offer blue plate specials that are perfect for sharing as appetizers. A variety of cakes, muffins, cookies, and pies to satisfy that sweet tooth. Has that certain southern vibe and zest in every meal. read more

Myself and some colleagues had a business conference in Jackson, and when Primos came up on Yelp we all decided to give it a try. I was not disappointed. The place was pleasantly busy when we pulled up, but the line to order was pretty short. Loved the atmosphere - very cafe/diner type experience with a little bit of 50's flair. It's a sitdown/takeout place, so you order at the counter and they will bring the food to your table when it's done. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Since we hadn't been before, they were giving recommendations on the menu. The menu had nice variety without being overwhelming. I ended up ordering their "Biloxi Press", which is a fried shrimp po'boy. Admittedly, it was not the literally best po'boy I've ever had (New Orleans has that pleasure), but I definitely enjoyed my meal. I was particularly pleased at the fresh ingredients. The tomato slices were super thick and fresh. We didn't try it, but this place also has a bakery on the other side from the diner. Everything in the counter looked spectacular, so if it's as good as it looks, then I'm sure the baked goods are tasty. read more

Primos Cafe - Front of building - Desserts Near Me - Ridgeland, Mississippi

Local favorite for breakfast and lunch.I think the employees are generally nice. Several of the pastries are tasty. They have typical Southern Diner food. The quality is average and it's a little expensive for the portions. My wife loves the grits shrimp po' boy. The food is bland, but not enough to keep me away when the wife wants breakfast out, which is at least once a week. read more

Nothing special here, but it was reasonably priced. We came for lunch and I think they're known for their breakfast.

Primos is a good place to eat. Not great but good and solid. I would avoid the cole slaw. I never ran a restaurant but KNOW it is one TOUGH business! read more

Primos has usually two blue plates to choose from during the week for lunch. It comes with two sides and roll or cornbread. They are typically pretty fast to get your food out to you. The cake there is AMAZING. I strongly recommend the strawberry. They also have great other sweet options. Pepsi products unfortunately. They do have a rewards card so be sure to grab one if you go visit. They serve breakfast as well which is pretty good. Catfish on fridays always a MS staple read more

food was really good (I went for lunch). However, I had to watch my food travel around the dining area until the server finally figured out it was my food he was delivering. my rating is low because service was sub-par. Would try again but hopefully the next time they'll get it together. read more

Decent food but there is no dish here worth writing home about--same offerings every day. Even the daily specials are the same scheduled items every weekday--i.e., not specials at all. Boring food. Ate a Cajun salad here once that made me sick. Have stuck with cooked food since. read more

We are out of town for an extended time period and are searching for a Primos quality experience in our temporary residence. Breakfast, Blue Plates and Desserts that are available so easily in the Metro Jackson area are nonexistent on the West Coast. Our first stop when we get home won't be with family or friends, it will be at Primos read more

Very clean and good atmosphere, especially during the coronavirus pandemic. The staff were very friendly and took all means to ensure that everything is sanitized and wiped down properly. Food is amazing too! And served respectfully. read more

Promos cafe is all about Southern food!!! Very clean, great customer service, and the food tastes amazing !!! Highly recommended !!!

For some reason, we always forget about this Primos location on Lake Harbour - but when we go we always say "why don't we come here more often?" The service is Southern sweet, the food is Southern delicious - you can't go wrong. It's also a great place to get catering, pick up a family meal to go or pick up a dessert! Some of our favorites to order are the vegetable plate, any of their daily specials, their po-boys, creole seafood salad and their burgers. You can't go wrong with anything you order! read more

Food was not great, but okay. Service was not. Just a bunch of young guys without oversight more interested in playing than providing attentive service. When my sandwich came, he said he would be right back with my fries. I sat for some time until another server noticed that I was not eating and they figured out why and brought the fries. By that time my sandwich was cold. When I was about 2/3 through, the busboy grabbed my plate. Primos has come a long way down since the old days. read more

Primos has amazing food and their staff is always friendly l. Their specials and prices are very reasonable. But the grits are amazing. Only one time have the grits been too thick. But everyone has an off day. The grits flavor melts in your mouth. I've been a loyal customer since moving here. read more

Again...no F...ing delivery as stated! I guess business owners are so stupid here they can't read the directions when setting up their Yelp status! Not too difficult! But apparently is! Get an education Mississippians! read more

Got the Christmas blue plate special. Dressing was good. Mac n chez was a lil watery, and the turkey was trash. Over all it was ok. The service was great tho. The ppl are very friendly. read more

Good breakfast place; not perfect but enjoyable. Been a few times. Coffee was pretty bad last time but it's very rare to get good coffee at breakfast places so I don't really hold it against them. Like their pancakes because they are tasty and great at absorbing syrup. Otherwise usually order eggs, bacon, grits, and toast. Everything else has been good. Only minor problem is that they don't quite know how to do sunny side up; they tend to undercook the whites. Strawberry cake was very good without being too sweet and overpowering. read more

love this place!! it's always busy at lunch time and for good reason. good southern food with blue plate specials daily. The daily specials are great but check out the menu too as there is a good variety to choose from. I personally love their grilled chicken tenders, they are seasoned perfectly! They have a good traditional breakfast as well, and their bakery is delicious (try the petit fours)!! read more

The baked goods are delicious - I personally love the cranberry orange muffin, the cookies, & the caramel cake. The coffee is also great with lots of variety. It's always clean & the food comes out in a decent amount of time. This is a great place but I'm partial to the location on Lakeland Drive. Nothing in particular that is lacking here just more of an affinity to the other location. Definitely stop in if you're in the area! read more
