CHEF PIERRE'S HABANERO PASTA
Janaya M.

Stopped in for lunch when passing through. Got seated right away. Waiter was attentive. Drinks come in very large mason jars. It's an old building in downtown that's kinda industrial looking inside. Nice music playing that's not overly loud. There's a stage in the back corner, probably live singing at night. They service chips and salsa. The chips are seasoned and taste good. Salsa is like a mild picante brand salsa. We got the queso which was super thin and runny. Kinda like a velveeta with rotel in it. My husband got shrimp and grits which he said tasted amazing. It came with a roll and butter. I got the habenero pasta with chicken. The chicken had decent flavor. The pasta was ok. Also came with a roll and butter. Loved the vibe and rate the food as good.

Our server LaLayla was a wonderful server. The food was amazing. I had the chicken fried chicken. The other people in our party had ribs and salmon. Everyone said their food was delicious. They have a stage where people were setting up to play music. They also have a wax museum upstairs that our server took us up to. We had a great time. I highly recommend.

Beautiful industrial looking space that has been transformed into a rustic restaurant with a center stage. I really enjoyed the ambiance, friendly staff and tasty food starting with chips and salsa. I can't wait to come back for more tasty food and a live show!

The building is a Jackson Landmark of Years gone by and worth seeing alone even without the great food and great service by Cordell B. The Ambiance is relaxed and entertaining with top notch Live Music. I enjoyed the appetizer sampler platter as well as a fresh garden salad with crumbled bleu cheese, both prepared fresh and were excellent! My main entree was the crab stuffed MS Delta Catfish fillet with a side of steamed broccoli. Nothing disappointed and thanks again to Cordell B. For his top shelf attention to us and his service kindness.

This place is a new go to when I am traveling in town. The service is extremely helpful and they give the best food recommendations due to such a large selection on the menu. The place has live music on the weekends. The chips and salsa were great! The seasoning on the chips are certainly addicting. Jarvis recommended that I get a chicken club and he didn't not disappoint. The chicken was juicy and had a great breading. The pickles on it were chefs kiss. The beverage selection was great and the local selection is tasteful. Price was very reasonable. If you're in the area check them out and ask for Jarvis. His service and recommendations will make you want to come again.

Stayed in the area over night. There are a few good and drink options in the area. We choose Iron Horse. I'm glad we did. The drinks were good. The food was a step up from typical bar food. The waiters were pretty cool. The vibe is very bar - loud and fun!

NAVAJO CHICKEN

Found this place while in town visiting. It's in a very cool building. The staff was very welcoming from the hostess to our waitress. Another waitress even checked on us to see if we were ok. We were told that they do live music starting on Thursdays which we missed but I wouldn't mind coming back. The complimentary tortilla chips were seasoned. I never had any like these but I couldn't stop eating them. It didn't take long for our food to arrive. I ordered lemonade and water not realizing how large the glasses were. I could've just had one drink. I really enjoyed the food and wouldn't mind returning.

Bloody Mary
Leslie T.

We enjoyed our dinner and found everything to be delicious! This is really a great place to experience Mississippi food and music. So many food options and holiday drink concoctions ! We kept it traditional and ordered bloody Mary's, spicy and salty with four large olives! I had the Tres Carnes(wings, ribs, shrimp) and a sweet potato! The bbq ribs were my favorite, Mississippi style, smoky and Caramelized sauce.

I came for a large party birthday dinner. The private dining area was very quaint and just enough space for us to be secluded from the main dining but large enough for us to mingle and enjoy our dinner. Even with it being a large party, the food came out quick, hot and delicious. I ordered the habanero shrimp pasta with extra sauce. The servers were fun loving and organized. People arrived at different times and they were still able to keep up with the orders and food placement. I have been here several times and one thing I love is they change the menu every six months; so you never get exhausted from the same menu. Definitely recommend for large party dinners.

Catfish! The macaroni was good, but the beans were way too greasy/oily.
Missy A.

Fantastic experience today! I came for lunch with my best friend, and we both enjoyed it so much. Our server, Tawanta, was THE BEST! She was very friendly, attentive, and fun to talk to! :) I got the catfish and loved it, and my friend got the porkchop lunch special. She liked hers too! We finished it off with the "Chef Pierre's Dessert Trio". It had a small portion of 3 of their best desserts: praline cheesecake, brownie, and bread pudding. Loved it all and can't wait to come back!

Living in Jackson, MS, you learn to live without certain things. Fact of the matter is, we just…read moredon't get the big-name concerts and performers here in lil' ole' Jackson. I've grown to accept it, but I think it's a damn shame because I bet tons of performers would love a chance to play at Duling Hall-- one of the coolest venues you can check out in the Southeast. Located inside an old, converted elementary school, Duling Hall is host to several different businesses, including the most popular concert venue in town. Also inside Duling, you'll find Saltine and Babalu (AMAZING food, you can check out my reviews of them!) and my favorite salon in town, Smoak. The concert venue is a really, really neat atmosphere. It's split into two sections, with one being a bit higher up than the other. The lower level is usually standing room during big concerts, while the upper area will often have tables and chairs. The upper area is where the bar is too! During some shows I've seen here, like the burlesque shows that come through occasionally. The stage is relatively low to the ground, so during shows like that, it's easy for the performers to interact with the audience which is super fun. As far as showmanship and technicalities, Duling does an amaaazing job with the concerts. The lights are always on point. The acoustics are fantastic. It's a very spacious venue with crazy high ceilings and some huge windows, so you won't feel too claustrophobic. Ardenland, a local entertainment company, handles all the bookings for Duling and they get some really high-quality, awesome acts here. Even if you've never heard of who's playing, it's always a fun time to head down to Duling and listen to some live music. The best part is that after the show, you're within super-close walking distance of some of Fondren's best bars (The Apothecary, Fondren Public, Caet) so the night can keep going and you can keep jamming!

I used to come here all the time prior to the pandemic. I've just started trying their brunch and…read moreit's delicious. Inside is still decorated with plenty of nostalgic posters and trophies and stuff. Same casual hip atmosphere. Service has never lacked here and I'm glad to see that hasn't changed. I've eaten here three times for brunch and I've gotten the French toast twice and commerce classic and highly recommend both. The French toast is some of the best in the city, especially if you like tres leches cake. Usually an item like this doesn't have the actual flavor as it's called but this really does remind me of the cake. But it's not overly sweet. The commerce classic is your traditional breakfast plate but it's loaded with food and flavor. You have to cone with an empty belly to get through with half of it.

Was visiting from out of town and saw it had good reviews. They weren't wrong. It was delicious…read more The shakuska was outstanding. The tomato sauce was spicy, the pita bread underneath slightly crunchy. Two perfectly over easy eggs on top was a party in my mouth. My friend ordered a side of millionaire bacon. It was not very crispy. She said the regular bacon was more crispy and flavorful. I ordered the basic scrambled eggs, cheesy grits and andouille sausage platter. It was yummy and filling. The prices are reasonable. They also serve coffee, teas, sodas and boozy cocktails. Since it was brunch we ordered mimosas. There was a mix up and the server forgot to put in the appetizer, but Ana and the manager were extremely apologetic and made up for it. They have live music but sadly not on the day we were there. Parking can be a bit of a challenge, since the surface lot is shared between 3 restaurants. The company also owns and runs the restaurant next door called the Walk-in. It's super cute and open late night. Zee, the bartender made us a couple of Hugo spritz's- which were perfect. When in Jackson, this is a definite stop. They also serve po boys and other yummy sounding entrees. Reservations are recommended.

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.
