    My wedge salad

    I have been a loyal customer of this restaurant for years and absolutely love Destiny and Jo I have brought my staff here many times because I genuinely enjoyed supporting this business. Unfortunately, my recent experience was extremely disappointing. I ordered a wedge salad and was served what appeared to be less than half of what is typically considered a wedge. When I politely brought it to the owner's attention, I expected a conversation focused on customer satisfaction. Instead, I was met with an argument. The owner repeatedly talked over me and insisted that the portion size depended on how large or small the lettuce happened to grow once I showed him my friend half of a wedge compared to mines. As a business owner myself, I understand that food costs and product variations exist. However, customer service should never involve arguing with a loyal guest over what was clearly a very small portion. What upset me most was not the salad itself--it was the way my concern was dismissed. I have always believed that great businesses value long-term relationships and listen to their customers. After years of supporting this restaurant and recommending it to others, I left feeling disrespected, unheard, and unappreciated. It was a disappointing experience that has caused me to reconsider returning. This review isn't about a piece of lettuce; it's about how a loyal customer was treated when they expressed a reasonable concern. Please take the time to click on all the 1 star reviews they have. you will see the name Steven which is the actual owner others reviews will tell you just how poor the customer service is

    Manship Woodfire Kitchen is a seemingly popular restaurant located in the Baptist hospital. However, once you arrive at the restaurant you realize that the restaurant has really nothing to do with the hospital, and simply just occupies a unit inside the hospital. The restaurant ambiance is what one would expect from this type of restaurant (think upscale family restaurant), and there is also an outside seating area with firepits. As it was Sunday at 12:15, the restaurant was very busy and we were lucky to be able to get a last minute reservation. Service was attentive and friendly, and drinks are reasonably priced (mimosa is only $5). We shared a spinach seafood dip appetizers, which wasn't bad, but I would I would have preferred a different delivery mechanism other than the friend wonton crisps that accompany it (perhaps corn chips or bread). Our mains, however, took over 45 minutes to arrive - only had the special bbq wings, and my partner had their burger. My partner said the burger was decent, but not out of this world and gave it a 3.5. My wings were fine, although I couldn't fathom why it took so long as it almost tasted as though the sauce had just been reheated. At one point we inquired about when the mains would arrive, and the waitress politely responded "oh we are busy." Fair, but they should have warned us beforehand. Anyway, worth a try, but I feel that the overall score on google is too high (but not being from Jackson, I am probably picky).

    BBQ chicken pizza

    We came here twice in 6 months. We're from Decatur, GA but decided to stop by again since our first experience was so memorable and food was so good This time Chris was our server, he was attentive and friendly. This time we ordered the supreme pizza and I had the salmon. All dishes had the right amount of seasoning. Cooked to perfection.

    Amazing food, plenty of flavor and the people are just as Amazing. Got to meet Joe as well as the Owner Steve, they have a customer for life! Kudos to the Chef and the Bartender as well. Support this business.

    Oysters and crab claws
    Arianna S.

    Jackson and me go together, real bad. I love their oysters and crab claws! The service is very accommodating. I try and go every time I'm in town

    Jeanita O.

    Yessss!...The food was delicious, and the restaurant was busy. The ambiance was modern and artistic. I enjoyed an iceberg salad, paired with a blackened chicken sandwich, fries, and a riddle me this drink. The delicious fries tasted like truffle fries, and the riddle me this drink was stellar. The chicken sandwich was dry and small, but it hit the spot. This restaurant is connected to Baptist Hospital, so be prepared to see staff dining, including surgical staff.

    If you're looking for a brunch spot that nails both amazing food and great ambiance... The Manship is the place to go. We sat at the bar and were immediately welcomed with warm, attentive service--the kind that makes you feel like a regular even though it was our first time there.

    Old Fashion with local Whiskey

    If you're on the fence, consider this your push. The Southern hospitality coupled with the depth of flavor from the food and drinks is every reason you need to head on over to The Manship WFK! Summer, the waitress/bartender was so attentive but more importantly very skilled at making an exceptional old fashion. Every sip was a reminder of southern comfort. Warm like grandma and stern like grandpa. (The block ice is optional so request as needed). The oysters were the star of the show. My first bite tasted like a pleasant memory of New Orleans. Consider this a buttery Bayou banger. Don't be shy, squeeze that lemon and dip that bread and leave nothing behind. The south west chicken salad is not to be slept on! I had a pretty big lunch so I wanted something light, but still packed a flavor punch. Boy was I knocked off my feet! The heirloom tomatoes, fresh avocado and homemade chipotle ranch took me from Louisiana to Mexico quicker than any plane could. I could not wait to share what was shared with me! I took my walk back down the street feeling gleeful and ready to brag. I received this recommendation from a local Mississippian and I couldn't be more happy with my decision. In fact, initially I felt bad about hitching a ride with my colleagues and later ditching them (they went to another spot up the street) until I was given every reason to be proud of stepping foot in The Manship.

    We LOVE Manship! This day lunch was amazing. The crowd was small because we went before noon. Our server was very polite and attentive. We plan on coming again. We've never had a bad meal from Manship.

    We were visiting Mississippi for football games so we decided to check this place out it. It did not disappoint. Great service and atmosphere. Food was delicious. We will be back. The pasta and salmon was so yummy.

    Pomegranate Mimosa
    Carmen H.

    I met a friend on yesterday for brunch at Manship. This is a staple in the Jackson area. During the time we went, it wasn't crowded at all. My friend started off with a pomegranate mimosa and we decided to order the fried crab claws. These came out piping hot and were very delicious. I ordered an Irish Coffee and it was really tasty. We really couldn't decide on what we wanted for our main dishes, so we settled on a variety of appetizers. We ordered the fried green tomatoes and smoked tuna dip. We enjoyed both items. Overall, we had a pleasant dining experience.

    I like the food and the drinks.

    Good food and good drinks. The people here are very welcoming and service here is great!

From the time we walked through the door the service was excellent! We were greeted with a smile and didn't have to wait. We were taken right to a table.

We started eating here probably 30 years ago when it was the OG. Mike always got the crawfish enchiladas and I got the habanero cream sauce pasta with grilled shrimp. He got fried shrimp tonight. The shrimp were jumbo and fried perfect. The "depot" fries are frozen crinkle cut. He subbed the Mac and cheese for the okra. It's more of a less sauce old fashioned Mac and cheese. I got my old habanero cream sauce pasta. It was served in the tiniest of bowls but the amount of food was good. Why not serve it in a normal sized dish? I would rather have the 4 jumbo shrimp they used to serve back in the day rather than the smallish medium shrimp. The sauce was thicker than I prefer but flavor was decent. I'll try something different next time. The cocktails were delicious. Again, the service and speed of things was incredible for a party of 17. My biggest negative was the music is ridiculously loud. Serving food to 17 people with that music was diabolical and we could not even visit. The group was great but the volume needs to be turned down. Def recommend for a large group but be prepared for music that is concert volume.

I arrived around 2:10 p.m. and was greeted warmly by Valerie, the bartender, who was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Tired of the usual fried chicken and fish options that dominate Mississippi, I asked for a recommendation. She suggested the BLT with grilled chicken and fries, which I happily ordered. Though there was a small crowd, everyone was kind, and I never felt rushed. Valerie checked in on me during my meal, ensuring everything was to my liking. I paired the sandwich with a beer, and the chicken was tender and juicy, making the sandwich quite filling. I finished my meal a bit after 3 p.m., and no one made me feel uncomfortable about the time. I've heard their happy hour on Wednesdays is pretty good, so I plan to come back then while I'm still in town to check it out. I'll update my review afterward!
