We started eating here probably 30 years ago when it was the OG. Mike always got the crawfish enchiladas and I got the habanero cream sauce pasta with grilled shrimp. He got fried shrimp tonight. The shrimp were jumbo and fried perfect. The "depot" fries are frozen crinkle cut. He subbed the Mac and cheese for the okra. It's more of a less sauce old fashioned Mac and cheese. I got my old habanero cream sauce pasta. It was served in the tiniest of bowls but the amount of food was good. Why not serve it in a normal sized dish? I would rather have the 4 jumbo shrimp they used to serve back in the day rather than the smallish medium shrimp. The sauce was thicker than I prefer but flavor was decent. I'll try something different next time. The cocktails were delicious. Again, the service and speed of things was incredible for a party of 17. My biggest negative was the music is ridiculously loud. Serving food to 17 people with that music was diabolical and we could not even visit. The group was great but the volume needs to be turned down. Def recommend for a large group but be prepared for music that is concert volume.

We were a party of 5 and we ordered different entrees on purpose so we could share a bite from each other's plate. Each bite made us sing the Campbells Soup Song. The menu is very extensive and making a choice was challenging. It's a mellow crisp environment. The service was excellent. More than one person serviced our table. This made everything go smoothly without any waiting on food. We went on a Tuesday thinking it would be easy to walk in and get a table without a reservation. We were lucky because we arrived at the beginning of dinner service(5:00pm) but if we'd been 30 minutes later we'd have had to wait. The place FILLED UP by 6:00pm...on a Tuesday . I will go back and back and suggest it to everyone who is looking for an elegant and delicious dining experience.

I came to Jackson all the way from Picayune Ms for a doctors appointment. After spending half the day driving and at the hospital we made a quick (turned out to be a lot longer than expected) stop for a bite to eat. We waited 30+ minutes for three meals, only for them to be cold upon receiving them at the table. The burger itself was pink on the inside (we ordered well done). I watched one of the ladies in the front touch the hamburger bun on one of our plates with her bare hands (major health code violation). I requested to see their food permit, and the manager spent 5 minutes digging for it. Health code requires that to be displayed in the customers view. I will never eat here again. Service is terrible, staff was rude (more specifically the lady manager), and their food permit and servsafe food manager certification was not properly displayed. If I could give this place no stars I would! Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. read more

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.
