My wife got just the cheeseburger and it was fantastic, exploding with flavor from the two patties. Cooked to your request. I had the Sioux Burger and I have to say the same. I was full after eating half of it. The Sioux had slaw, gravy, and your normal burger condiments. It was fantastic. The crinkle fries are awesome. Service was good. Only took 15 minutes for them to have them ready. We did these to go. The inside has a few tables and it's cozy. There is also outdoor seating. We are looking forward to trying one of the fish dinners this week.

The only small complaint we would have is the salt content in the dishes (red beans & rice, crawfish etouffee and jambalaya specifically) is very, very high! They taste very delicious of course but this would be our only negative opinion. The low country boil / shrimp boil is awesome! Cheeseburger was great. They definitely have a good thing going here. Try it out! Don't judge a book by its cover, go on in!! I almost forgot about the white chocolate bread pudding! OMGGGG so good!! Maybe even the best I've ever had! Absolutely awesome!

From there, the blackened grouper--the catch of the day--was the star of the evening: perfectly cooked with a satisfying char and depth of flavor, though unevenly seasoned. It was accompanied by creamy cheese grits that leaned a bit mild and fried okra that, while slightly soft, could have used a touch more seasoning as well. A side of hush puppies was promised but never made it to the table--though admittedly, I rarely indulge unless they're something truly special. The atmosphere was relaxed and almost serene, with only a couple of other tables occupied during my visit, though carry-out orders seemed steady. I chose to sit on the patio, where the weather was ideal and the newly installed fly-deterrent fans did an admirable job keeping the table clear--if not entirely keeping the flies from me instead. Still, the food remained untouched by them, which I consider a success. Service was warm and attentive throughout, rounding out a pleasant evening. While a few dishes could have been elevated with bolder seasoning, the overall experience was delightful, and I left satisfied.

There is outdoor seating As well as indoor seating for guests including tables, booths, and a bar top. Wait Time: Can call to get reservations as the restaurant can get busy but wait times are not that long for lunch. Service: The service was well done with the waitress being attentive and friendly while not being overbearing. Food: Can be hit or miss with some inconsistency in the shrimp and grits ordered between same day orders and different day orders. The food has both healthy options for those on a diet and more hearty foods for those who want southern comfort food.

Very friendly people here. Our view was the kitchen, they seem to accomplish quite a alot for the kitchen size. I started out with gumbo, very interesting mix of contents, sausage, shrimp, short rib (menu says chicken), a dark roux and a scoop of potato salad in the middle, very tasty and different. Next she had the pork chop with peach and bacon chutney over pimento cheese grits. The Pork chop was perfect. The chutney, one bite was very heavy on the vinegar. I had the fried chicken tasso gravy, hot honey, marinated sweet potato. This was an exceptional dish and was full when I finished. It was a good experience. Given it was a Friday night at 6ish. It was very loud and vibrant tonight. We will be back.

I've heard good things about this place, but after that pricey meal, I'm a little gun-shy about getting lunch there. Wifey said the catfish was good, but really nothing special.

The staff was amazing throughout the reservation process. We had to increase our reservation several times as more family members decided to join us, and every time they were friendly, accommodating, and happy to help. When we arrived, we waited until our entire party was there before being seated, and the bartender made the wait enjoyable with excellent drinks. My daughter especially loved getting carded on her 21st birthday--it was a fun little moment that made the evening even more memorable! Once we were seated, our waiter was outstanding. He was attentive, responsive, and genuinely friendly, making sure our large party had everything we needed. The food was incredible. Every single person at our table loved their meal. Everything was cooked perfectly, beautifully seasoned, and absolutely delicious. To top it all off, our waiter even followed us outside after dinner to take group photos so we could capture the special occasion. That level of service really meant a lot. If you're looking for a restaurant with outstanding food and exceptional customer service, I can't recommend Jesse's on Magnolia highly enough. They helped make my daughter's 21st birthday a celebration our family will always remember.
