    Cool beach tropical vibe, looked like an inviting bar and plenty of big screens showing tv to hang out with your crew to enjoy some great food, Staff was friendly and knowledgeable, waitress was very attentive. We enjoyed a great meal, took a picture of fried pickles, dove into the meal and forgot those pics. Great place, put the Family in the SUV and head over. Stay safe !

    This place is a tiki hut on the spillway for the overflow waters of the Pearl River. This area is so cool! The marshland is all around here down to the Gulf. Shaggy's is literally a tiki hut bar &'grill on the water, with a huge square bar center outside deck side, surrounded by chairs, then bar top tables around the bar seating. Then the parking lot which goes all the way back to the spillway water's edge where there are some docks with piers going out into the spillway. I am pretty sure boats can pull up, tie up and enjoy the live music and food! They have a live musician every evening for those perfect golden hours cocktails and happy hour from 2-5p. Margarita hit the spot! Shaggy's original location in the "Pass" by Pass Christian Pearl River. It was originally a bait shop but was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. Rebuilt as Shaggy's tiki bar & grill. I feel like I'm in the Florida Keys, Islamorada area! The sunsets are gorgeous, y'all!

    Traveled to the area to do some thrifting while in MS and we wanted something fun and good! I did a quick search since I haven't been in this area in over 30 years and found Shaggy's! My gentleman has never been to this part of Mississippi and had never seen the reservoir so 2 birds one stone kind of thing! Oh my goodness, amazing views, amazing food and amazing waitstaff!! Perfect lunch on a fun day! If you are looking for laidback, good views and fun conversation, check them out!

    The food was good, we loved the atmosphere! The service was great. All the employees seemed to work together very well and were super friendly. We ordered several mixed drinks (Miami Vice, Biloxi Blue, & Rum Punch). They were all great. They even offered half-off select mixed drinks while we were waiting on our table. To eat, we got fried green tomatoes with crawfish, fried pickles and the blackened gator tacos. The food was all really good. I really liked how the gator bites on the tacos were blackened and not fried. I do wish they had a grilled shrimp option for tacos. We will be back!

    Came here for an early dinner and to enjoy the view. The outdoor area was really nice to sit in with great views and lovely weather. The bartender seemed to care more about the regulars. The food was mediocre. Was, disgusted by the dead bugs at the bar (see picture). The only reason I'd come back is just for the patio area.

    My husband and I were in town for a Willie Nelson concert. Stopped at Shaggy's for an early dinner. It did not disappoint. My husband loved his oysters. I had a great burger and the chips and dips were tasty. We sat on the patio and enjoyed our refreshing beers with a view of the Reservoir. Staff was super friendly and attentive.

    Reception: These ladies are personable, pleasant & lovely. Ambiance: My hubby fell in love immediately. He is already saying "this is my spot right next to the water, cool vibes & awesome people." Service: Jacob is fantabulous!!! I can't tell you enough how amazing he was as our server. He was attentive, knowledgeable, friendly & enthusiastic. Food: Hubby said he loved his jerk bowl. I ate his plantains yummy lol. I had the poke bowl & it had good flavor & only downside is less tales cabbage, maybe a hint of edamame with some ginger and more yellow fin tuna. My hubby is from here and we leave here now. And I'm a Cali girl that loves lots of authentic poke ingredients. Though I am pleased with the taste. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!

    Solo traveler, so I sat at the bar. Inviting and warm environment, I am sure this place is fantastic in the summer. Since I am working I drank water so no review on the drinks or prices of drinks. The bartender was very kind and attentive. I ordered the She Crab Soup in a cup, which may be 1/2 a cup in reality. Then I ordered the New Orleans Shrimp Po'Boy. The fries were cold and the shrimp were not deveined. I am aware the vein is edible however the visual is not very appealing. The fries were cold as was the sandwich. Glad I went but won't be back.

    Shaggy's on the Rez is a cool place to spend a bit of time if you are in the Jackson, Mississippi area. The service is friendly and professional and Shaggy's on the Rez has a good menu. There is plenty of parking and Shaggy's on the Rez (as the name would suggest) sits on the edge of the reservoir and offers a great view of the reservoir and has a great overall vibe. I would definitely recommend Shaggy's on the Rez.

    How can I confirm a reservation if I can't reach anyone and they haven't called back?

    When I was there I heard someone complaining about the same issue.

    I want to make a reservation is that possible?

    I'm sure that you can call and make reservations for a large group. I believe they have special rooms and seating for large groups. However in my opinion the food is not that good and a bit overpriced. But you may like it. The scenery is nice… Read more

    Will they be open on the 29th?

    Hi! Yes, we will be open on Friday November 29th. We hope to see you!

I called in my order of two bowls of steamed white rice, a half a pound of sausage, and 3 corn on the Cobb. The corn on the Cobb is currently advertised at $3.00 on the website. However the agent informed me that the price has changed and it was now $3.50 and she said this was an incredible amount of anger and attitude. I informed her that the restaurant was suppose to sell at the advertised price but that I would speak to someone about it later and as soon as I said that it sounded like she slammed down the phone. I heard nothing. I ended up calling back and she answered and before I could say anything she said someone else 'would deal with me'. When the other woman came to the phone I started to give my order and I mentioned the advertised price showed $3.00 and she cut me off and said 'no one would be honoring the price on the website'. As I was speaking to her the other female was in the background yelling and insulting me. I could hear her very well. I mentioned to the woman that I could hear her and she cut me off again and told me in so many words she 'didnt have time to address that and for me to continue with the order". I finished my order and she said one of the part owners was inside the restaurant but that the owners 'never spoke with customers' and "he's not going to discount anything for you'. WOW... Talk about being incredibly rude. I like the food here but the way they handled the price being different on the website was just to ignore it and go off on the customer who brought it to their attention.
