    Nothing remarkable here. We gave the place a try because they boast about the number of beers on tap - but the catch is, they're mostly very ordinary and predictable. All the AB products? Check. Corona? Check. Miller Light? Got it. All lagers but one are nationally available. About a fourth of the beer menu is IPAs. We sat outside because COVID. The inside (walked through just for the restroom) was kind of dark, in a cozy, welcoming way. Signs were over-the-top dog-themed (Barkade. Ha ha.) Outdoors, a huge television dominated our view, and a big chunk of the display didn't work, so it was super distracting. Big posters on the TV cabinet door panels (visible when open for TV viewing) featured pictures that must've been stock photos, or made for another restaurant, or perhaps a former incarnation of this one? They included young women in low-cut "German bar" dirndls, with mugs of beer with the Bulldog logo obviously added on post-shoot. It was pretty goofy. Other than the weird TV and cabinet, the patio was nice, with a water feature and fire pit. Our server was new and super nice, but not ready for prime time. She should have had more training before being pushed out to serve guests. She put straws in our beers. She asked if I wanted to add chicken to my Cobb salad, which should already have chicken in it. She brought us a check when we would've otherwise ordered another round. She was unfamiliar with the menu and knew nothing about beer at all. I hope that management gives her the training she deserves so she can do a better job!

    The pictures would leave you to believe there are playable pinball machines here. Food was mediocre. Worst condition pinball machines that can't even be played that I've ever seen.

    Shrimp po boy, burger

    The Bulldog was our first restaurant stop in Jackson and it did not disappoint! The shrimp po boy was absolutely delicious and my partner loved his burger. Southern hospitality was definitely a thing as our server was very nice and attentive. Would definitely return next time we're in the south

    Went to to the Bulldog to watch a game. I walked in and there was a sign that said please wait to be seated. I proceeded to stand their for 5 to 10 minutes and finally went and sat at the bar. Upon sitting down, the bartender was telling some people at the other end to leave her a good review on yelp which was a bit ironic considering how bad of service we got. Once she walked up to me, I ordered a beer and asked that they change one of the TVs to a certain channel and her reply was that she would make the change once everyone in the bar was server. I waited approximately 10 more minutes and she put the game on just as it was starting. There was a boil water alert in the area which prevented us from being able to get any water. They said they had bottled water on the way, but never was given one. I would have happily drank some boiled water that had cooled down just to be able to have some. I understand being cautious with the alert, but the restaurant should have been better prepared for it. The bartender kept talking about how bad a new waitress that I assume was in training was there which was highly inappropriate for someone that is new. The bartender was not friendly at all and seemed to have woken up on the wrong side of the bed. The food was ok. It was a nice portion. I got the chicken finger plate and would have really loved some more sauce for my chicken fingers. The waffle fries were good. I had been to the Bulldog one other time about a year ago to watch a game and didn't mind it, but I doubt I will come back to try it out again after my experience yesterday.

    was so happy about the service! shout-out to heidi our waiter!! heidi gave great suggestions & was so hospitable. started the night off with a moscow mule & fried pickles as a appetizer. the fried pickles were a pretty large portion (would suggest sharing) for my main meal i ordered red beans n rice. that was a pretty nice portion as well. nothing special but tasty food :) nice ambience & spacious seating, also good COVID precautions in order. would suggest for a friday night if you want something chill.

    Awesome local bar near the Hilton. I arrived on a Sunday and all of my usual spots were closed. The man at the front desk of the Hilton recommended the Bulldog so I figured I would give it a shot. Definitely exceeded my expectations. The bar area/dining room is outstanding. Very classy, sophisticated, comfortable, and still keeping a laid back sports bar feel. The TV situation at the bar is great. I was able to watch the Grizzlies game and SNF at the same time on two huge TVs. I had the 'Impossible' burger and it was outstanding; so if you eat a plant based diet they've got you covered. Now that I have discovered the Bulldog I'm going to make this my new go to 'usual' spot when I'm in town on business.

    Do you think this place is good for meetups? Is it usually quiet enough for a group of ten to twenty people to communicate well?

    The ambient noise level is dependent on the time of day and day of the week. If you want to call our location (601-978-3502), they may be able to accommodate your group in a section that has privacy and would certainly meet your meeting needs.

But this one was just right for me. I feel like you could show up after a round of golf and it would be cool. That's as long as you don't have swamp ass, LOL. Inside is well lit and airy. There are lots of windows and it's quite comfortable. Our server was great. So good in fact, I have no recollection of them or the service. That's strange. Nothing. I can't even remember if they were male or female?!?!? I do however remember my food. We started with crab claws. They were darn tasty. Nice lemon flavor to the batter and the sauces were great accompaniments. Would recommend! For dinner I chose the Prime Chile Rubbed Flank Steak. Gosh damn was it good! Perfectly cooked, seared well, and still medium rare inside! The sauce was fantastic as well and the fresh cut Parmesan fries were a stupendous addition to the dish! I loved the whole damn thing!!! The spinach was quite unique and very good. It was like crispy sautéed of something. I must have made some noises that my dinner companion had to know about because he ate a couple slices of my steak after I was done. I thought about dessert but the boys didn't want to help so maybe next time!! I will come back here. I hope this meal was not a fluke!! I can't stop thinking about that damn steak!! '26 - 40

It wasn't packed when we arrived at noon so we really didn't need reservations. It was literally us and another party of about 10 people. But I wouldn't chance not having a reservation just in case you pick a busy weekend to go. The pineapple Mimosa with peach Andre was liquid gold! I so enjoyed that drink! I highly recommend you try it. I ordered the catfish and grits. When our server brought out our food, she asked us if we wanted extra crawfish sauce. I turned it down but my friend got it. I wish I had gotten it too because I would have taken it home to liven up some of my home cooked dishes lol. Catfish was fried perfectly and the sauce wasn't salty at all. The grits were stiff, which I didn't think I would like but I did. They held up well to the size of the catfish. Service was decent considering it wasn't busy. I hope they see more business for brunch because it's nice to have brunch options on Sundays and this one is worth trying.
