    A well-poured whiskey sour!
    Charlie B.

    I've enjoyed Scrooge's for many years now! Some staff has come & gone, but one thing seems to remain: Quality! No matter what you choose from bar drinks, to a wide range of appetizers, salads, sandwiches, plates specials and even pizza, it's all good! This is a local joint, so expect lots of local folks, staff included, to converse with, I can't recall a time I've been disappointed with an experience at Scrooges. The bar is a bit dark, but has a nice local flavor with just enough "stuff" to look at, comfortable chairs too! Hmm... after 3 whiskey sours before lunch, I forgot to photo anything else! The wife & I had drinks, a fried pickle appetizer, and we both had one of our favorites: fried boneless skinless chicken breast (it's excellent!) with mashed taters & gravy collard greens & corn bread! An awesome later afternoon spent together!

    Quiet Sunday night but fun place with a great server. Misty took care of us and made great recommendations. Shrimp encrusted red fish with grilled veggies hit the spot. Fresh and tasty!

    We've recently moved to the area & on the suggestion of our Yelpers found this gem! The staff was very kind & helpful And to call the food delicious doesn't do it justice. Amazing!! Everything was delicious cannot wait to come back & try more from their menu. Thank you for kind service & amazing food.

    Is grilled salmon on the menu?

    Not that I can ever remember, but they have catfish and tilapia daily, and they serve a great piece of redfish as an off-the-menu almost daily special in the evenings.

    While traveling from NC to TX, we drove through Jackson, MS, looking for lunch. We checked out Yelp…read moreand headed for Rooster's at 2906 N State St. We ordered country fried steak with coleslaw and green beans, and a bacon cheeseburger with onion rings. We also got an unsweetened tea, Diet Coke and homemade banana pudding. Everything was absolutely delicious. The country fried steak was crispy on the outside and hot on the inside and had plenty of gravy on top. Also, the gravy was exactly the right consistency. The coleslaw was excellent and the green beans were hot as well, and both were seasoned well. The unsweetened tea was very tasty and fresh. The burger was cooked to medium as requested. The bacon and cheese were great toppings as was the crisp lettuce and what tasted like local tomatoes. One of the best things about the burger was the homemade white bun--(also served with the country steak). It tasted like buns my mom used to make. The onion rings were hot and crispy, with a wonderful crunchy fried batter. Delicious! We haven't tried the pudding yet, but we'll update our review tonight when we try it out! Thank you to the hardworking and friendly service staff, cooks and owner. We will definitely be back in the future!

    My go-to in Fondren is always Pig & Pint. That's where we were headed on the way to Oxford, but…read morethey didn't have any water that day, so we ended up going up the road to Rooster's instead. What a great accidental find. Rooster's is absolutely awesome. I had the burger and onion rings and both were damn good. The burger was simple, cooked right, and exactly what a burger should be. The onion rings were thin, crispy, and really good. My daughter got the chicken tenders and they were massive. I mean actually massive. More importantly, they were delicious. The fries were hand cut and just as good. Service was friendly, the place had a cool neighborhood feel, and it filled up fast. Parking is definitely at a premium, so get there early if you can or be prepared to wait a little. This is one of those places we probably would not have found if everything had gone according to plan, and now I'm really glad it didn't. So thank you to whoever forgot to pay the water bill at Pig & Pint. Just kidding. Thank you to whatever public works person accidentally broke the main water supply and sent us down the road. Because Rooster's is legit, and we'll absolutely be back.

I…read morereally can't understand some of the low scores this location has received, as our experience was a very good one. The restaurant was neat and clean and our server, Jamie, was welcoming, attentive and took excellent care of us. Lots of good items appeared on their (recently expanded?) menu and we enjoyed a triple dipper appetizer and Santa Fe Salad, with iced tea. I know it's sometimes easy to hate on chain restaurants, but in this case that would be unjustified. Chili's on Briarwood Drive in Jackson is recommended!

    I would NOT recommend the Briarwood Chili's. Go to the Madison location instead. The manager at…read moreBriarwood was extremely rude and disrespectful and seemed more concerned with proving he was in charge than actually providing good customer service. Management requires knowing how to communicate with customers, de-escalate situations, and treat people with basic respect--and he demonstrated none of that with me. What made it worse was the restaurant was barely occupied, yet it seemed like everyone was still waiting on food. I came in fresh off work after a long day just trying to get something to eat, and his attitude made the experience so unpleasant that I requested a refund and left. Everybody who gets a management position does not have the people skills or leadership skills to be a manager. Chili's really needs to evaluate the customer service and leadership at this location because a manager should never be the reason a paying customer decides they'd rather get their money back and leave.

After a successful purchase and a hemorrhaging from my credit card, we opted to celebrate the occasion with a meal. And Lo and behold Table 100 was just across the street from where we were. Ambiance 4 Stars - as you walk into the establishment, you are transported back where the warm wood interior, cozy white table cloth tables or booths, high end bar drinks, and classy servers in their white or black attire are waiting to serve you. There plenty of tables and booths to seat a plentiful of patrons. And if you need a little bit more private, you can request a private room depending how many are in the party. 4.5 Stars - Service: our server, Andrew was wonderful, professional and has a great sense of humor. We bantered throughout our dinner but the conversation never crossed over to make anyone uncomfortable. He was observant of our needs and when to bring our next course. Our glasses stayed full with our beverage. 4.25 Stars - Food We ordered from the dinner menu instead of lunch due to our timing at 3:00. Let's just call it "Linner". Haha. 4 Stars - Grilled Swordfish- My wife ordered the dish and came with a decent size grilled swordfish fish, sauté spinach, creamed mash potatoes, and a beurre blanc sauce (lemon, butter and dry white wine). The swordfish was thick and moist; not dry at all. The beurre blanc balanced the bland spinach and the seasoned swordfish. The creamed potatoes were creamy, buttery's and not too salty. 3.75 Stars - Pan seared Redfish with cube fried potatoes, sauté green beans, beurre blanc sauce and top w a Chilean tomato salsa. The redfish was moist and tasty but I wish it had a little bit seared on it for a crunchy factor. The cubed potatoes were good but nothing to write about. The fresh sauté green beans could have a bit more garlic butter. 3.5 Stars Side dish: Deep Fried Brussel Sprouts. Hot, steamy and fresh. Has a slight crunch on the exterior leaves and was seasoned w a sprinkle of salt. 3.75 Dessert: Crème Brûlée and coffee. The crème brûlée crust was crunchy and the vanilla egg custard was good and smooth. It would have been better was a scoop of fresh whipped cream to go with the fresh fruit and crunchy layer. 5 Stars - French pressed Italian coffee. The coffee was a highlight of the dessert. It was hot, fresh, and strong. Just like an Italian coffee should be. It was between an espresso and caffe' Americano. Our, server, Andrew did a wonderful job on the coffee! I definitely recommend this place and we will be back. Don't forget to ask for Andrew, if he is available.

I heard about the $5 Friday…read moremenu online and had to ask for it after we were sat, as it's not given to you upon being sat. Looking at the $5 menu (it ends at 8pm), I can definitely see why it's a crowd favorite. The restaurant was full, the DJ was playing jams, and the menu options were pretty good. From that $5 menu, we got spinach artichoke dip, which was okay (I think it should be started with chips instead of bread??), and wings which were fire. I got the lemon pepper. They were delicious. That menu also has lemon drops, and for $1 extra, you can get it and then array of different flavors, such as mango, peach, passionfruit, strawberry, etc. I got raspberry at the servers recommendation and it was good. For entrées, my friend got the Cajun pasta, and I loved it. I would order that one again. They also got oxtail, which I didn't try. I got the red fish, and let me tell you it was gigantic! I've never had this, so I was really taking a risk. I found that I don't think I love red fish, as it didn't have the flavor profile I was expecting, however, the sauce on it really brought it to the next level. I got some to go. The greens were extremely salty unfortunately, but the cornbread was really good. I know a lot of people talk about the service and sadly, I did feel the same. It did seem that our server was gone for extended periods of time, and we did wait a while to put in another order for the $5 menu. Initially one of our lemon drops didn't come out either, and we had to ask about it. However, I will say that once we were ready to order entrees, the service did seem to get better. Our server communicated that the kitchen was working on getting out food from the 8 o'clock deadline, and that she would come back and take our order in a bit. I appreciated that communication and didn't mind waiting after. I noticed that within 30 minutes, the restaurant really cleared out, so I'm thinking that a lot of people come for that menu and then leave.. which is surprising because it's a really good looking menu and if I lived in town, I would definitely come back to try more. Add to that later, I also noticed that hookah came out and the DJ got more live.. just something to note!

The wings were pretty good. The oxtail pasta took quite a while to come out. The hubs had finished his plate before mine arrived. The new bartender was very kind and gracious when reporting on the delay. Upon arrival, the oxtail itself had a heat (like Jalapeño seed heat) that I wasn't prepared for, but the oxtail meat was falling off the bone and well prepared nonetheless.

This review is strictly based on my Shrimp Po-Boy which had the worst fried shrimp I've ever experienced. It was cooked beyond belief and felt like chewing rubber. Breading was probably tasty had the order been properly cooked but could not tell. I had my wife taste a piece, she confirmed my opinion. Bread was buttered and grilled but did not have the feel of a real po-boy bun as if it were on the old side which is strange as the place is a bakery. I don't know what dressing was used, tasted like plain mayo. This is a strong do-not-ever-order recommendation. Fries were good, probably cut fresh. If I ate in, the order would be sent back to the kitchen. My replacement would likely have been better but QC on the takeout was lacking.
