    new owners, who dis? The same Walkers you know and love! The food and service were amazing! We chose the halibut special and so glad we did! Amazing flavors! Still one of the best date spots in Jackson.

    Main Course - VEAL & LOBSTER KATHY      All natural free-range veal, white truffle risotto, sautéed asparagus,  creamy Madeira wine sauce.

    First time and it won't be the last time! What can I say when the food, service and ambiance were almost 5 stars! NOTE: Reservation is REQUIRED! Located in the Fondren, the restaurant is located in an old building and with other ethnic restaurants to compete against, it specializes in American food with a flair of using other ethnic seasonings and techniques to create their wonderful dishes. Kudos to the chefs! Ambiance: 4.95 Stars - The quaint restaurant has limited seating at the bar (6 chairs), 6-8 booths hugging the walls, and 4-6 table in the middle. The booths and tables can seat (2-4). An outside pavilion with 4-6 tables (2-8 chairs per table). Due to its coziness, it can get LOUD. At times it hard to hear your server or staff members and having a conversation can be very entertaining by saying, " What was that", "Huh", "Say again". Don't go there if you want a quiet dinner. We had a fun time talking with each other. Service: 5 Stars - Our sever, assistant server, chefs, hostesses, and other servers ran the restaurant with efficiency, professional, friendly, and knowledgeable of the various dishes. All servers were even bartenders. We had a Mojito and our server ask me on how I like my Mojito. He himself made the concoction after I explained to him the ingredients and voila', our Mojito arrived and tasted the way I like them. Almost if I was the bartender! in addition to cocktails, ask for the Wine Menu or have the server recommend the wine. Our server is very knowledgeable with the different menu items and at times we asked to repeat himself because of how detail he went into the explaining the ingredients. Food: 4.99 Stars. The only .01 deduction was on the sauce on the Iberian Pork which I will explain shortly. Our server explained several different specials (an Iberian Pork appetizer, charcuterie appetizer, two different protein entrées (one fish and one beef). We chose the following items: Appetizer: 4.99 Stars - Iberian Pork glazed with a light red wine and vinaigrette reduction sauce topped with Chimichurri. The appetizer was wonderful but I thought the sauce had a little bit more vinegar based than I liked and took away from the Iberian Pork itself. Originated from Portugal, it it is a sweet and marbled meat, high fat content which makes it tender. So a fork is only needed to cut through the meat. It was a great way start to our wonderful and surprising meal. Salad: 4.95 Stars - ASIAN THREE WAY Spicy seaweed, squid salad, Thai chili crusted tuna, crispy wontons. We were feeling adventurous, so we opted to go with an Asian inspired salad. Plus we laughed due to the name. The salad was really good but the seaweed was on the sweet side. However, the Thai chili was able to cut down the sweetness. The fried wontons gave a crunchy texture and the tuna seared and soft in the center. Entrées: 5 Stars! CRAB, ARTICHOKE & PARMESAN CRUSTED "GIGGED" FLOUNDER Sautéed shallot spinach, charred tomato lemon butter. The Fish was thick, large, with a light coat of flour and pan seared perfectly. The meat was tender and flaky with a very mild flavor. The Parmesan spinach shallot was the bed for the fish and the lemon butter was light and refreshing with a slight citric tastes. It was wonderful! I couldn't taste much of the crab or artichoke however we weren't disappointed with the dish. VEAL & LOBSTER KATHY All natural free-range veal, white truffle risotto, sautéed asparagus, creamy Madeira wine sauce. Ever had a meal where you felt like Sally in 'When Harry Met Sally' when they were at the Diner? Well, the meal was close to that experience! The STAR of the show was the Truffle Risotto. I kinda' had an out of body experience when I tasted the Risotto. Truffle can be overpowering in its Umami taste and making Risotto can be difficult to accomplish. The chef knock it out of the park! The veal was tendered and fried with thin batter of flour and was coated with the Madeira sauce. The sauce wasn't heavy at all. You can taste the seasoning, wine and butter in it. The "knuckle" lobster was tendered and mild. Only downside was the size of the lobster knuckle. I wish I had more. Dessert: 4.75 Stars - We shared a Crème Brûlée. The freshly seared sugar coating on top was yummy and thin. I love the "crackle" sound when using a spoon to break it. The custard itself was smooth with the hint of vanilla bean. It worked well with the coffee. NOTE: If you prefer a strong coffee, you will be slightly disappointed. Price: 5 Stars - We both thought the price was reasonable for the items. It is not cheap but not too expensive either. However, there are some items listed as "market price" so ask your server if you are unsure. Our delicious and wonderful meal cost us around $200 with tip included. Also, the menu will change occasionally. So get your appetite ready and have a "date" with yourself, spouse, significant other or a group cuz you won't be disappointed!

    Fried Green Tomato BLT! Yaaaasssssss!! Enjoyed this quaint downtown Jackson, MS diner. A worthy trip just for the service!

    Enjoyed this delicious fried green tomato BLT at this quaint little diner in Jackson, Mississippi. Service was fantastic, and the place is clearly enjoyed by a business crowd who could carry on a conversation without yelling to be heard, which is a plus!

    Portabella Fries.  Delicious.

    Sometimes you get good advice from a hotel bartender on local places to eat around town and sometimes you get sent to a whole shit show. This time we found a winner!! We stayed at The Westin and were down at the bar grabbing drinks before we went out for dinner. He immediately, without hesitation, not only said this was the only place we should go, he also told us exactly what server we should ask for. He said that Casey was the man who we needed to see. (This was a year ago, so I hope he is still there). Arrived to a packed house but were able to slide in pretty quickly. The place is stupid cute. It's in an old diner and all of the old feel still in it. Fine dining in an old diner. Love it. I'm not into asking for servers I have never met so we just rolled the dice. Server arrives and it's none other than our man Casey. He was pretty rad I must say. He could have owned the place with all of the pride that beamed from him when he talked about the dishes. All of the food was fantastic. Menu may have changed in a year so I won't drool on about it too much. I will say this.... We had a Dry Aged Bone In Ribeye that was the special and holy shit. My wife still says it's the best steak she has ever had. Desserts were awesome! Fried pies with ice cream and a Cinnamon Roll Tiramisu. Oh my goodness! I cannot wait to come back here! '24 - 27/100

    5 star dining. In Jackson, Mississippi for the evening and I asked ChatGPT, "If I had one day to live and was looking for my last dinner in Jackson, Mississippi, where would I want to go." It gave me three names. When I got to my hotel, Walker's was walkable (funny) so I went and enjoyed. OMG. I think I found my new happy place. Tiffany and the bar staff were great to me, and I had an incredible meal. One of those meals that you think is for a special occasion and you envy the people who can have it just for fun on a Tuesday. No-bread crabcake was so good, and the chocolate/strawberry fried pie made me want to move to Mississippi to eat here more often. Goodness!

    Caesar salad
    Ethan Y.

    [Walker's Drive in] Upscale American dining restaurant that gives this local, hole in the wall vibe located in the Fondren district in Jackson, MS. Welcomed by the hospitality of some friends, we decided to try this restaurant for dinner (yes this one has been a long time waiting for a review) Started off with their Calamari featuring their sauce which was the highlight. I got the Redfish Anna with their lump crab meat while my friends ordered the Everything Crusted Tuna and the Caesar Salad topped with lump crab meat. Everything came together nicely. I was slightly surprised by the portion of crab meat that comes per dish however maybe I shouldn't be considering the price per dish. The meals gave off a home cooked vibe, flavors were there. Some dishes stood out more than others. Only critique I have was the portion size given the price point however it was a fine dining restaurant. Overall 7.5/10 https://www.walkersdrivein.com/ 3016 N State St Jackson, MS 39216

    I have been to lunch once last year and have only had dinner at Walker's once over 7 years ago. So I can't say why I picked it for my birthday dinner but it turned out to be a great idea. It's a small, upscale spot on the inside. The outside is rustic and nostalgic and would never give you the impression it's a white tablecloth place inside. So never let what you see outside influence your decision to dine somewhere. Once seated, our server took our drink orders and ran down the specials for us. My mom ordered the seared scallops and my sister ordered the redfish Anna. She subbed the mashed potatoes for risotto and I subbed the thin beans for sautéed spinach. Hands down this is the best redfish dish in the area! The fish was done to perfection! Seasoned right and not dry. The mashed potatoes were very flavorful and the spinach was good too. My mom's scallops were good to but she and my sister said the risotto lacked flavor. The crème brulee was delicious but I wish I had ordered the fries blackberry pie my sister ordered. Both were good! Great way to spend my birthday and the servers even put a candle in my creme brulee. Check them out for a great meal!

    Fried Green Tomato BLT
    Richard B.

    Upscale diner setting with vintage touches- autographed celebrity portraits greet you at the door. Service with a smile (Makayla) was prompt, cheerful, and accurate. Blue plate special was catfish today, and a Fried Green Tomato BLT completed our table. We deduced the meals may have been plated up and had to wait for the fried green tomato, as that was the only item on the two meals served hot. (Fried fish at nearly room temperature... ). Lima bean cooked perfectly (not mushy) but needed seasoning ( no bacon or ham detected). I would return and give them another try, as the menu has lots of delicious-looking options. Dinner items look especially appealing.

    Outstanding service and food was spectacular. This was the best steak I have had in a long time. My only call out it's a very small space..

    Restaurant , don't be fooled!

    O. M. G. I just had the best meal that I have had in ages. Here I was talking about Jackson not being a foodie town. Walker's drive-in was spectacular. I sat at the counter which was very snazzy. The service was excellent. I had a soft shell crab, flash fried with a garlic butter sauce. Then the foie grad, over some delicious crostini and a sauce to die for. With a cornbread blueberry compote upside down cake with homemade vanilla ice cream. Stuffed. And happy.

    Redfish Ana
    Courtney M.

    Walker's is amazing! Everything I had was soooo good. It's a casual upscale fine dining experience nestled in a building that kind of gives you a divey 50s diner vibe, from first appearance on the outside, but the ambiance inside is completely different. It's candlelit, white linens, etc. Autohraphed photos and notes from celebrities line the walls, along with food and wine awards. Food: Delicious! It was actually much better than I expected and very flavorful. I ordered the filet which came with mashed potatoes and asparagus, topped with crispy onions, friends ordered the Redfish Ana and Flounder. I tasted all three and all were amazing! Hard to choose my favorite between the steak and the redfish. The Redfish Was topped with crab meat and served over a bed of potatoes and asparagus drizzled on a Parmesan sauce. The fish was nice, flaky, and cooked to perfection! We also had calamari and fried lobster skewers as appetizers. Both were great, even down to the salad that came with the skewers. It was probably some of the best calamari I've had. Also, all of the food was super fresh. For drinks, I had Riesling and friends ordered the lemon drop martini and loved it. Walker's had a good wine list. Service: Good Parking: There's a small lot in the back, otherwise you can find street parking or park in another lot in the Fondren area and walk over. Price: Decent prices on appetizers and drinks. Entrees were pricey IMO for Jackson, MS.... but think fine dining. Overall: I loved it! I'd come back for an occasion. Its also a nice intimate date night spot for dinner.

Unfortunately, the hostess indicated that the restaurant doesn't allow dine-in guests one hour before closing. I proceeded to go with the takeout option instead. At this restaurant, daily specials are offered. Since I came on a Thursday, I opted for the seafood boil deal that came with 1 lb of snow crab legs, 1/2 lb of shrimp, corn, and red potatoes. I customized the flavor as the "Mighty Special" - Cajun, Lemon Pepper and Garlic Butter all combined. For the spicy level, I chose "Hot." The total was only $36.99! This was such a steal, especially since the seafood boil bag was generous. When trying it, it was honestly so flavorful and palatable. The sauce literally made the crab legs, shrimp, corn, and potatoes beyond tasty. Mighty Crab serves satisfying seafood boils with mouthwatering bold flavors! This spot is definitely worth paying a visit to.

We were greeted shortly by our waiter Caden. Our waiter was extremely polite and very attentive. I can only speak in the items I personally tried the watermelon jalapeño margarita was a 7.5/10. There wasn't a strong watermelon flavor and there really wasn't a kick from the jalapeño. The bartender wasn't definitely not shy with the liquor but it wasn't over powering. The shrimp and crab ceviche was probably a 8/10 ( could've been a 9/10 but it had cucumbers in it). It had a tad bit too much lime juice or lime taste. The shrimp and crab dip was delicious! 9/10. Fresh chips as well. I really enjoyed the pickled red onion addition was really good. Overall Saltine has a great menu selection, warm and welcoming vibe.

    Lovely looking place…read more The service was good. Pretty much right there when you needed them with decent recommendations. For appetizers, I loved the lobster and spring roll. That was delicious. Also got the lobster and crawfish dip ok and one can never go wrong with calamari which was also good. For dinner, I had the salmon and grits and kale. It was ok because not quite what I was expecting - I was expecting spicy and it was too sweet for me but might be my fault for not fully reading the description and being focused on the Cajun seared aspect of it. It was still good though. Nothing superb but filling and loved the crunchy kale on top. Really liked that they were open on a Monday and they were fast. At one point, too fast because one of my co- diner's dinner came too soon while still eating their salad. For dessert, we got the cinnamon roll cheesecake and shared it. I only had one bite because it was too rich for me but it was very tasty and good. Unfortunately, we didn't get the oysters which is THE item to get here but it was otherwise a good visit.

It came back with an even worse texture and tasted like it had been sitting too long. I've never had a problem here until now, which makes it even more disappointing. This was a waste of money, time, and gas. Very frustrating experience.
