These guys have very little idea what Cajun cuisine means. As a bonus, the interior of the place smells like Pall Mall and vomit. Yikes. Is it just me, or is that something that can't be handled with just a little effort? read more

Messed up my drink order of water with lemon. Took forever to get seated and it was slow. I had a side salad. My boyfriend had a burger that came with Swiss cheese, he asked for mozz instead..didn't happen. My mom liked the bourbon street chicken. Took too long . Couldn't get the waitresses attention. Service should be impeccable on a Monday evening. If you can't get it right on Monday I don't want to be here on Friday. All hype... read more

Just ate here for the first time on an afternoon. We all ( family of 4) were surprised by how good the food was. The staff was friendly and the food was perfect. The inside was a little dated but was shockingly outweighed by the quality of food and friendliness of staff. read more

You people are on crack. This place sucked. Tiny oysters that barely even fit on my oyster fork, tinier supper portions. I had the salmon, which they over cooked and came out about a 4 ounce piece of leather. Server never brought me lemons or jalapeños that I asked for TWICE. Come on! What is this?? Minus zero stars, would never go back#totalfail read more

Upon arrival there was a 12-top, 3 people at the bar and a 4-top in the entire building. We were sat at at dirty table. Our table had lettuce, spilled drink and crumpled paper on it. The conventional waitress unapologetically cleaned the table and took our order. The undistinguished food arrived hot and timely, yet overpriced. I have had 3 experiences here--1 decent. read more

Great food (Bayou Pasta is currently my fav) and always great live music (cover bands).

Jackson is my hometown and this was my first time eating at Redbones. Some friends and I went for lunch yesterday and I order The Rockabilly burger. It was one of the best burgers I had in Jackson, the steak fries were very good too. The service was real good, I will be going back and often, so I can try the other burgers and items on the menu... read more

Tried this place finally after driving by it a million times. Huge menu with lots of Cajun flair. Burger was pretty good and red beans and rice was decent. read more

The shrimp étouffée was some of the best I've ever had, the band was great, coffee was hot and kept coming. Only wish the menu had an option for wheat or brown rice instead of just white rice. Great place to relax. read more

My husband is from New Orleans and I guess my expectations were too high. What they called gumbo was awful and unlike any I have ever had. The crab cake was fair and fried alligator was good. I would not go back or recommend it to anyone. read more

Dine out often but for some reason have not checked this place out....OUR LOSS! The shrimp and grits were fantastic. Nice creamy grits, the shrimp cooked perfectly and the mushroom sauce served with over them is delish . My wife had the bacon wrapped shrimp. 9 big shrimp, grilled and seasoned just right. We basically shared our dinners. Wait staff were on target and very attentive. We will definitely be going back! read more

Good service and friendly, had the Gator Bits for a bar snack, that was great, cold beers, and live music ! The band rolled straight into a Johnny Cash number, cool ! read more

Meh typical restaurant food with a New Orleans twist. The alligator bites are delicious! The oysters were good. The ribs were tender but the sauce wasn't very good. read more

Great place, good food. service was amazing!! ordered fried green tomatoes, shrimp and grits, gumbo and spinach and bacon oysters. loved it. would definitely go back. read more

I have never had Redbone's food so one afternoon I decided to try it. So after entering the somewhat of a restaurant I sat at the bar and was rudely dismissed by the bartender. She noticed me and went to attended to another customers needs. I sat there for at least thirty minutes without being served. She nor any other waitress attempted to serve me, so needless to say I just left. I have told many people about this situation and they've agreed that this has happened to them also. I also posted it on Facebook and you would not believe the response I got from people saying they also agreed. Redbone's you guys and gals need some training on how to treat your customers right and not just the bikers. read more

The tenderloin steak here is sooo good! It's juicy and tender with a great flavor! The Mac and cheese on the other hand taste like its microwaved that's the only reason I'm giving it 3 stars. I've gotten the pink starburst signature drink and it's probably my favorite mixed drink! Taste just like a pink starburst with a kick! I definitely recommend just don't eat the Mac and cheese lol. Staff were quick and friendly also! read more

The food is very good, nice atmosphere and service. Happy hour is good too and "crazy hour" is even better. Highly recommend for lunch, after work or dinner. They also have live entertainment by local bands for later in the evening. You won't be disappointed. read more

Food was good, waitress wasn't the best. She seemed a little busy to care with the place empty.

I ate here with my boyfriend and it was very entertaining and the food was good. I ordered a basic steak and loaded potato and he ordered a burger. The burger was really good it had some special sauce on the bun. We also ordered an alcoholic beverage and it was called swamp water. It was pretty good as well! read more

Service is poor with the exception of a few, however, the food is always on the spot. Live music two to three nights per week. Worth it but do need better servers. read more

Visiting town for a soccer tournament and was excited to get some good food in a great atmosphere after a long day of soccer. The first of our group was forced to wait at the entrance for 30 min and not seated until all of us were there. The staff seemed apologetic of the wait but the Manager was very rude when we asked multiple times to be go ahead and be seated. We watched multiple people walk in to join a party in the back room. Obviously they did not all come at once. Had we been seated we would have ordered several rounds of drinks while waiting on the remainder of our party. (Money Lost Redbone) read more

Great food, good service. I love this place. They support local musicians. I say enough good things about this place.

Didn't eat steak but the catfish was delish! Fast and great service. If in Jackson anytime soon you should give it a try!

Service is CRAP!!! Place was half empty and took over 20 minutes to have our orders taken. The hostess took our order.

I have been to Red Bones several times and it is hit or miss. I ordered Bacon Wrapped Shrimp last night and it was definitely a miss last night. Burned bacon, over cooked rubbery shrimp with flat flavor. Don't order these. The highlight on my plate was the broccoli and the serving size of the vegetables was minimal. Very disappointing tonight. read more

Food is usually very good and they have great bands with a full variety. I love that it's NON-SMOKING! Fried avocado is amazing as well as the Orings. I have been several times and mostly I am pleased with the overall experience. However, I have been a couple of times for lunch and service was slow, food not great. At other times, I have ordered drinks they had no idea how to make. Brush up the bartender skills. read more

Oysters were miniscule but fried right, slaw was delicious, cajun pasta was good, but chicken tenders somewhat over-cooked.

Stopped in to give it another try yesterday and waited so long to place our order and get drinks. The drinks were wrong and when the appetizers finally make it were over cooked. A really long wait for the meal and the steak was over cooked and had to see a manager about it. They treat there customers terrible. The wife asked for a drink refill and never got it. Two thumbs down. read more

We ate here while traveling based on hotel's recommendation. Started with 1/2 dz oysters and they were ok. Ordered Margaritas and I agree with other review...I'm not sure there was any alcohol in them. Also asked for no salt and came with salt. We sent drinks back and bartender must have just poured same drinks in new glasses since they tasted like salt. For meal I had blackened redfish and it was very good. My wife had grilled chicken and it was so tough and chewy it was basically inedible. The "live band" just talked amongst themselves during the hour or so we were there (7pm on a Sat night). Besides the redfish, this was a pretty poor meal and cost me $75 for two of us when all in. Don't think I'd come back again. read more

Just ate here. Husbands steak ok. My shrimp were so over cooked they were hard. I told our waitress, she said she'd tell the chef. Never offered me a substitute or to bring me a new order. When we talked to the manager she couldn't adjust our bill. She said they could only replace the entree. Gee, that was never offered. Don't go. Lots of other options nearby. read more

Yummy food, reasonably priced, in a pleasant (though strongly smelling of cigarette smoke) atmosphere. We had a sandwich and an entree - both portions were generous for the price. read more

So just when our last dining experience at Sammy`s steakhouse in Marion, IL left us believing it couldn't get any worse, we were proven wrong...as we were being seated something just didn't seem right. Maybe it was all the camouflage and bling, the bikers, rednecks and prostitutes. I was suddenly regretting not having my gun with me. Then we got the menu and were surprised to see items on it that you would expect to see on a classy restaurant menu. we almost got up and left at this point, but we thought the food must be good because there are so many people here. Our waitress came to the table and bent over with her hands on the table and sqooze her arms together till her boobs nearly feel out on the table (ok, so as the only female at the table I'm probably the only one that didn't enjoy that part) she took our drink order 3 times but never wrote it down. One of the guys said, she's a little off, I said ya cause she's totally drunk. She then comes back and says ok, I need to get your order again, she attempts to write it down but it appears totally illegible. Finally the drinks come out. Then she pulls up a chair all of our eyes get big. No big deal you think, well at our last dinner when the girl pulled up a chair she then later threatened to stab us in the neck, so w were a little nervous. So to make a long sorry short she took our dinner orders several times, brought or checks out before we even got our diners, never brought our appetizer, we ordered drinks from another waitress, got another bill that was wrong, got our drinks on the house, finally got our diners which were actually pretty good, the manager stepped in after her 3Rd attempt to sort out the bill, our waitress disappeared (we assume she was fired) she offered us free dessert, then our appetizer showed up, then she messed up the receipts, and finally 3 hours later we escaped! Later to find out 2 people in our party were double charged! I think I'll be cooking dinner in the hotel tonight! read more

Food was good and the portions generous... However I felt like I was going to be punched in the face by the large biker crowd that setup camp in the bar area. The place could be really nice which raises the question why ownership has not done something to clean up the crowd that frequents the place. I agree with the 1st reviewer heavy smoke but pretty good food. Unless several changes are made we will not return. read more

We got a kick out of the gator bites. We travel a lot but it's still funny for us New Yorkers to see things like gator bites or grits on a menu. All of our food was great, service was friendly and quick. I would absolutely go here again. read more

gave this joint another try. ahi tuna app is awesome. steak done well. good service at the bar. not alot crak a lakin in jackson. dont care what johnny cash says. try this place. read more

I stumbled upon this place 6 weeks ago coming back from Dallas from being their or my first grand child to Oak Ridge. I couldn't get it off my mind. On my way back so his Great Grandmother can meet him. It was so good again! Bacon wrapped shrimp PERFECTION, fried green tomatoes fantastic! Bam Bam shrimp WOWZER! Gumbo....omg....thought I was in Narlins! Key lime pie from scratch! Best ever! Bread pudding....just get you some! Service AGAIN lovely. read more

very friendly waitress. very touchy-feely and an excellent example of southern kindness. full bar. lots of tv's. decent food. we had a fine time. drinks all around, not smokey. (if at some point you could smoke in here, you cannot any more) read more

RedBones now one of my favorite places. Great food, friendly and fast service. The band was awesome .

First off let me start on a positive note, the gumbo was delicious as was the shrimp étouffée. service was quick, friendly and good. Now for the disappointment, my husband ordered red beans and rice as well as the étouffée for his meal. When they came to the table you couldn't tell difference between the two. Now being that my husband is from Louisianna area he knows his Cajun food. Honestly I should have taken a picture of the red beans. Not only was the color off, but there were about ten beans in the bowl and his étouffée only had one shrimp. We could not tell the difference between the two. After talking to waitress, manager and kitchen chef they finally brought him a new bowl of étouffée with shrimp in it but he had them take back the red beans. Such a disappointment as he was really looking forward to his meal! The restaurant tried to make it right but don't bother with the red beans and rice. Order the other menu items we had as they were delicious! Oh by the way, if you want bread with your meal ask for it! They don't ask or bring any to you. read more

We drive 100 miles round trip at least twice a month to have oysters rockafeller, there is no place that serves them as good as Red Bones, we're tried them all. The food is always good and the service quite fast. We loved to listed to the bluesy and easy rock music, but now they changed to country, and you can get country anywhere. Red Bones was redecorated and is family friendly. Just wish they would turn back the music, there are few places that do blues. But we love the food, the catfish is always tender and never overcooked. The bacon wrapped shrimp are also a favorite. read more
