I love Martin's! I've always just thought of them as a dive bar, but recently discovered that they…read morehave weekday blue plate specials - and the food is good. Each special comes with a choice of bread and two sides, but you can add a third one for just $1.00. My go-to is the pot roast blue plate. I get it with cheese grits, fried okra and green beans (unless they have cabbage as the vegetable of the day). Martin's has THE BEST fried okra. The Redfish Kathleen is also delicious! I'm a sucker for crawfish cream sauce. Drinks are always good, and so is service. The atmosphere is very chill. Come as you are. There are a few seating areas: The bar, the patio, the main dining area and back dining room. They have live musicians on the patio on Friday nights. Martin's also has another room with a stage for events. Go!

This is a hip and trendy lounge. It has kind of an upscale fell to it. I came here early during…read morehappy hour, which ended at 8 PM. They only serve a limited menu during happy hour which included fries, wings and shrimp. The place has hip music playing and televisions above the bar that had UFC on while I was there. The staff there was very friendly. It is a nice place with bar seating and a lounge area with couches. There is free street parking in front of and near the lounge. There is also commercial parking garages nearby. I liked their signature cocktail menu. It has some savory drinks on the menu. I did my best to go through as many of them as I could. Their drinks were not only very good, but the bartender worked very hard on their presentation. I will admit that the drinks were not very strong, but were still delicious. It was a very comfortable spot, while I was there. However, as I was leaving and as it was starting to get dark, it looks like things started to shift. An armed guard was out front and security ramped up a lot. I did not order any food while I was there, but I will say that it looked good as it was coming out of the kitchen. My tab, be it during happy hour, was reasonably priced. I recommend checking this place out early. I was like Will Smith in the movie I am Legend. I was back in bed before the sun went down. It seems to get very hectic and a bit overwhelming at night. I hav learned that bars do not spend money on armed guards or police for nothing. There has been some issues in the past. With that being said, I really enjoyed my time there. The staff was gorgeous and the drinks were right up my alley. I liked the vide the place was putting off and hopefully will get to check this place out again.

Hal & Mal's has renovated and reimagined their back bar and courtyard. It's now The Walk In, and…read morewe love it! Open after hours, The Walk In serves up cocktails, mocktails, wine, beer with or without the booze, and light bites. We ordered a Pupu Platter and I got a mocktail. The Pupu platter came with eggrolls, shrimp over rice, wontons, bulgogi skewers w/ peanut sauce and sliced beef. Portion was perfect for two people. The platter has a fire pit in the middle in case you want your beef cooked a little longer. I love this - one because it looks cool, but also when people like their meat different temperatures. This did get a little smoky after a while though. Drinks were cool. I love that they have so many mocktail /non booze beer and wine options along with the regular menu. My drink was okay, a little vinegary, but not bad. Overall, I love the vibe of The Walk In and the Pupu Platter was a great choice!

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.

I Ordered a cup of seafood gumbo (no rice-hate rice in gumbo) and it was good. Just a tad too salty but it had plenty of shrimp and sausage and good flavor. Would definitely get that again. Ordered the Tres Leches French toast and decided I better get the half order due to the gumbo. It was two pieces of Texas toast so that was a good call, as I barely finished my plate. It didn't require syrup due to the chantilly cream and cherries. I really enjoyed the taste of it. The bacon was the thick kind, similar to Wrightes Bacon, and was cooked well too. I won't complain about service since it's a holiday. My server was actually pretty good but it did take a while for my food to come out. I'm glad I finally got to try the brunch at Hal and Mal's and look forward to trying other dishes.

Ok so where do I begin?…read more...... It's Memorial Day weekend and I've been hearing about "Freelon's" the ENTIRE time I've been in MS (which has been about a month and some change). So I decided to go. Here are the results: Entry fee $10 (not toooo bad but I didn't pay) - CHECK Drinks free for ladies before a certain time, and $10 afterwards - CHECK Very Loud ratchet music (all the Dirty South hits + Top 40 Hip Hop/R&B) - CHECK People ACTUALLY Dancing (not usual in MS area oddly enough)- CHECK Ratchet as hell - CHECK Great time dancing, chilling, and grooving to the music - CHECK My only con was the smoke. Lighters were flickering everywhere and suddenly my nostrils and eyeballs were filled with all types of smoke. Not to mention my clothes were done for. I left with a bit of a headache but overall it was a good time. I'll be back! I recommend to go at least once.

The JSU students really love this place; or rather it's the only place decent for them to go.

I don't go to clubs anymore, but Freelons is definately the best thing going on in Jackson, MS so far...

I came in to celebrate my divorce, However my last experience wasn't the best, I had been bragging to my best friend about this place for months just for almost every step was annoying. 1. We was standing at the door for about 6 minutes without a hello (I didn't mind until the next guest got greeted and seated within seconds almost) 2. It was a hair on my best friends Brussels sprouts 3. Her double pork chop was not cooked all the way through , and at this point we was just ready to go. A simple discount just doesn't suffice when the moment has been ruined.

We had THE MOST AMAZING TIME tonight. First of all let me thank Bilal Qizilbash Yoseph Ali and…read moreespecially EasyKale for inviting us to this amazing tasting. I enjoyed you guys immensely. Appetizers Mexican corn- I only like mine on the cob, but interestingly enough, this was the first time I'd tried it off the cob where I actually really enjoyed it. The chorizo fondue- it's served with grilled peppers, onions, and tortillas on the side. This was really good. And I'm not even a huge fan of chorizo. Chicken fajita chimichanga- this was good as well. I'd like the chimi a little crispier, but that's just my preference. I love saffron rice but with this dish I'd prefer a Spanish/Mexican rice. Beans were excellent. Churros: These were good, not overly sweet. I'd like a sauce just to sweeten it up a tad more. But overall, it was a great dessert.
