This place was amazing. When I got there, it was still light out and it looked like a total dive from the outside. Once you walk through the door, it was magical. I sat at the food bar and watched the staff work. I had a flash fried softshell crab (to die for) with a garlic cream sauce; followed by two foie gras on a Butter soak crostini with a berry salty sauce (heavenly). Finished with a blueberry upside down corn cake with homemade vanilla bean ice cream. The bartender made me a delicious mock tail. Everyone was super friendly. I would return to Jackson, Mississippi just to eat at Walkers again.

Absolutely phenomenal. Stumbled across this restaurant accidentally. The name is very unassuming and I felt very underdressed considering others in line had made reservations. However, the hostess assured me we were fine and I'm glad we stayed. Great menu choices, wine selection off the charts, and dessert left me feeling uncomfortably full. Fantastic experience.

Walker's Drive In is an absolute gem in the world of dining, and I can't sing its praises enough. From the moment I stepped inside, I knew I was in for a treat. First and foremost, the service at Walker's Drive In is top-notch. The staff is friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. They made fantastic recommendations and went out of their way to ensure that our dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. Now, let's talk about the food. Wow! Every bite was a revelation of flavor and creativity. The menu boasts a fantastic array of dishes, each prepared with the utmost care and attention to detail. I started with the Blue Crab Melt, and I was blown away by the delicate balance of flavors. The crab was sweet and succulent, and the perfectly toasted bread provided a satisfying crunch. For my main course, I couldn't resist the Wood-Grilled Filet. It was cooked to perfection, tender and juicy with a smoky char that added depth to every bite. The accompanying truffle mashed potatoes and asparagus were the ideal companions, elevating the dish to a level of culinary excellence that I'll remember for a long time. The dessert menu at Walker's Drive In is equally impressive. I indulged in the Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie, and it was a symphony of decadence. Creamy, rich, and packed with flavor, it was the perfect conclusion to an extraordinary meal. The restaurant's atmosphere is also worth mentioning. It strikes a perfect balance between upscale and comfortable, making it an ideal spot for a special occasion or a casual night out. The dim lighting and cozy decor create an inviting ambiance that enhances the overall dining experience. And let's not forget the bar! Walker's Drive In offers a fantastic selection of cocktails and an extensive wine list. I highly recommend exploring their cocktail menu, as the mixologists truly know their craft. In summary, Walker's Drive In is a culinary masterpiece that deserves every bit of its five-star reputation. Whether you're a food enthusiast looking for a memorable dining experience or simply in search of a great meal, this restaurant should be at the top of your list. I can't wait to return and savor more of their delectable creations. Kudos to the entire team at Walker's Drive In for consistently delivering excellence on every plate!

We are never disappointed when we dine at Walker's. Our table was ready at our reservation time and our server was fast, efficient, and friendly. Our cocktails came out quickly. I ordered a espresso martini and it was delicious. The food came out nice and hot. Everything was delicious. This restaurant is a gem and a must try when in Jackson.

Everything was good, quality food. The burger was cooked to flavor. The crab cake was $28 but it was quality crab so I can see where it’s fit. Only thing, it’s a smaller space & they filled it to the max. So, just be aware it is a little crowed.

Excellent food and service. The red fish with lump crab was amazing! Wonderful flavors cooked right. The red snapper with mushrooms and capers was also a real treat. Alex was a pleasure to deal with and provided excellent, friendly service while answering questions and making suggestions. Then to top it all off we delighted in the Mississippi peach fried pie, dusted with cinnamon and sugar served with a vanilla bean ice cream and white chocolate sauce. It was absolute heaven. Crisp and clean flavor. Not overly sweet or oily tasting. Sheer perfection. You cannot go wrong dining at Walker’s Drive-In.

Wish I could give this place zero stars. Thought everything was going well, until it wasn't. Rude staff member( our server) came to our table to say if my kids could turn down the phone that was already on a very low setting as we were in a restaurant with everyone around us talking very loud, almost screaming amongst each other and cackling very loudly. My kids were the quieter ones in the entire place. This restaurant is not child friendly even tho it claims to be. THEY never went to another table and told them to quiet down just us, THE ONLY BLACK FAMILY IN THERE AND THE ONLY BLACK PEOPLE AND ON JUNETEENTH. WAS NOT TODAY, NOT ANY DAY.. DO NOT VISIT THIS PLACE IF YOU HAVE KIDS AND BLACK,. I never do these kinds of reviews but you've been warned. Also the food was very bland and basic. I have had better red fish and better shrimp and service at half shell, longhorn etc and have never been told to turn down anything even when I felt like they( kids) were a little loud. We're a small quiet family they are well behaved and I always make sure that they are respectful of others. This place is just plain RUDE and NOT WORTH GOING TO. NEVER EVER AGAIN. RUDE RUDE RUDE and absolutely disgusting food. I lost whatever appetite I had after those rude customers and rude staff members interactions. S/n forgot to mention there was one other black couple that walked in and didn't stay 30 mins. The vibe just probably wasn't right for them. Also save yourself a few bucks and just go to Half Shell Oyster House food is better, service is better and they actually are family friendly and not perpetuating like this place. This place is to small and cramped. I might be against building code, because the tables are almost on top of each other There's barely room to walk around. I felt squished. Very uncomfortable seating and atmosphere.

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!

[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

Another great diner at Walkers! They are consistently one of the best restaurants in Jackson! Great seasonal seafood, steaks and specials. This is my favorite celebration spot in town. JACKSON is a foodie town and this is on the top of most lists for good reaso

Best steak in Jackson hands down. Consistently good. All appetizers are 10/10. Great service.

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

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.

The food was really great. Service was great as well. From the outside you wouldn't think it would be the type of environment.

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!

The food was so delicious. I had Redfish. We had very good service. The only negative was all the steps that we had to go up to get to our dining area. Our group was a few seniors that had a little trouble getting up the steps

Walkers is one of my all time favorites. Everything on the menu is good. Service is typically outstanding. The parking sucks. Highly recommend Walkers. I would eat their daily if only I could afford it, not gain 100lbs and be able to find a parking spot once in a while

Great food and service. I prefer outdoor seating versus indoors. An icon and remains as a favorite from steaks to seafood.

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.

A Jackson institution! This is our favorite restauran by far!! Almost everything on the menu is absolutely delicious and the service is top notch. We love the oyster app, the lobster app, the calamari and the crab cakes. Hubby loves the filet entree and I love the artichoke parm crusted flounder and the scallops. The risotto is amazing also. If they have the Nantucket Bay scallops on special don't pass it up!

Yelp
Perfect fresh seafood meal every time! Walker's never disappoints! The bread less crabcakes are a perfect start. The bartender can concoct a variety of mock tales to your liking. If you don't drink alcohol, but of course, there's a full bar and wine selection. The redfish Anna is delicate, fresh and well balanced with the accompaniments. The fresh fish of the day was triple tail, pan, fried with a lemon butter sauce. It was great! For dessert we split the crème brûlée and the peanut butter and banana fried pie. Both were excellent. The service was prompt and attentive. The only slight negative is that it tends to be a little loud in there, but heck, I think this is my favorite restaurant in the Tri-County area.

We were in town for a band competition and when we asked the hotel staff for recommendations, this place + the server Casey was the clear choice. It is so cute. Casey is a gem and the food is awesome. I'm still thinking about the bone in ribeye we shared. We'll be back!

This is one of those spots that I had bookmarked for a few years now - based off one of those Travel / Food Destination shows, and I happened to be in Jackson, MS so I had to check them out. It was the Redfish Anna that brought me here, and it ended up being one of the best meals I had on my roadtrip back to Austin. Walker's Drive-In was one of the few places I had visited that actually lived up to the hype. I like the location of this place - the area is quite quaint. It's a small place w/ 2 separate buildings and limited parking but luckily I snuck in and found a spot. Same thing when I walked in - the nice hostess Jana (her first night) was so polite and courteous - asked if I wanted to sit at the bar - which was wide open. Perfect! The waitress was really attentive and helpful, walked me through the menu. But I think we agreed that the Redfish Anna was the reason why I came so I put that order in. I also noticed they had softshell crab - she said I could get that as an appetizer. My neighbor had a risotto so I inquired about that - there were 2 kinds, one white truffle, another w/ blue cheese (or feta?) with shrimp. I went with the white truffle. The softshell crab was okay - to be honest it had a slight greasy texture to it and the butter sauce that came with it was very salty. I was expecting something more light and less greasy, but it still was okay, although I've already tried it once now and would not likely get it again. The Redfish Anna - whoa! It was phenomenal! The butter sauce it came with was just perfect, the redfish was perfectly seasoned, the mashed potatoes were good and the crabmeat on top was great. I savored this meal and took my time with it. I remember seeing this dish being prepared on TV and - wow - it lived up to the hype and was oh so good. One of my Top 10 meals for sure. The white truffle risotto was excellent. I could not finish it all so got most of it to go but there was plenty of truffle flavor and it was creamy smooth and superb. I do recommend. I saw other dishes coming out - the Miso Marinated SeaBass looked oh so good but I only have one stomach unfortunately. The large Caesar Salad looked oh so refreshing and appetizing. I wanted one so bad but - again - I only have one stomach. This is the kind of place where I'd visit weekly, and there are so many appetizing dishes on the menu I'd want to try them all eventually. Customer Service here was spot-on superb. Waitstaff was very attentive, they all have good energy and work together to help each other out. Jana was the hostess with the mostess and very nice and professional. I just really loved my visit here to Walker's Drive-In as it was literally one of the best meals and experiences I had on my roadtrip back to Austin (from Nashville). They lived up to the hype and I will do my best to make it back here.

The lunch here used to be great, but the BLT I had recently felt half-hazardly prepared with a side of fries. The portabello mushrooms were very good.

Pacience S.

Yelp
Amazing staff and even more amazing food. Walker's Drive-In is always a treat. We have our annual holiday party and it's always happily anticipated for both the excellent service and food. The starters were tamales, lobster lollipops, crab cakes and fried portobellos. All were amazing. The crab cakes literally fell apart due to lack of fillers and were the perfect mix of lump crab meat and seasoning and the lobster lollipops were crispy and delicate but my favorite were fried portobellos with comeback sauce. The mushrooms were well seasoned and fried perfectly. We had a large group that included pescatarian, vegetarian other dietary restrictions and everyone was accommodated and the vegetarian dinner option was amazing, with a beautiful mix of roasted veggies, puréed butternut squash and pumpkin pepitas. It was both a beautiful and delicious well thought out complete meal, which if you've ever been the lone vegetarian at a function you'll appreciate! The only thing better than the food was the staff, who were attentive without hovering and made the party feel like the luxury a private function should feel.

Hands down, this is the BEST steak I have ever eaten in Mississippi. Aged 45 days to absolute perfection! Even the house salad was amazing, and it comes with blue cheese which I hate. But it bonded so well with the flavors of the salad that I actually enjoyed it! The potatoes were good as well, and the asparagus. Brownie was good, but nothing extra special about it. But that steak!

Lanessa S.

Yelp
One of my favorite places to eat of all time! Truly. No complaints and I've had so much on their menu. Personally, my favorite is the bread less crab cakes. Truly divine! Well I have one complaint! They won't share the recipe with me ! Lol... seriously tho, the sauce that is on top of the crab cakes is something I have been unable to recreate. 10/10. For sure!

Best restaurant in Jackson. Period. Drinks, apps, salad, mains, atmosphere, everything.

This place is UNREAL!! I ordered the wood fired shrimp and completely scrapped the plate. ( I never do that). My husband ordered the Filet and it was slightly over cooked but the meat was so tender that he didn't mind. We would 10/10 recommend this place is you are in Jackson, Mississippi!!

Scott C.

Yelp
be aware of overly inflated prices at Walkers. The Blue Plate special is priced double of what it should be priced. The owners need to be advised that blue plate specials are traditionally an affordable lunch price friendly to workers and customers not able to afford a pricey evening meal. WALKER'S gouges it's customer. my friends and I will NOT return.

Sam H.

Yelp
Walkers is one of my favorite restaurants in Jackson. The food is incredible and the service is always top notch. My wife got the Redfish Anna and I had Everything Crusted Tuna. We are not even big seafood people, but these dishes are so well prepared and delicious. The redfish practically melts in your mouth and the tuna was so fresh. Both dishes were full of flavor. As an appetizer we had the world famous tamales. They may be the best tamales I have ever had; they definitely live up to their name with a rich taste and soft texture. For dessert we had the fried pie which was a blueberry flavor. The sauces poured over it paired with the ice cream tasted heavenly. I love the layer of sanding sugar coating the pie. I am never disappointed when I leave Walker's. It is always such a treat to go there, and I am proud to have such culinary talent representing the metro area.

The restaurant was clean, packed with guests, and had a continuous flow of traffic. Surprisingly, this restaurant has a second building adjacent to the restaurant for overflow dining. I expected to walk into a diner-like atmosphere, considering that the restaurant is named Walker's Drive-In. The restaurant has a fine dining and diner vibe. I ordered a glass of wine, crab cake, bread pudding, and spinach. Everything was delicious. I should have ordered two crab cakes. The staff seemed to enjoy each other as well as their jobs. It was also exciting to see autographed celebrity pics posted around the restaurant. Chef Derek and his wife are dominating their legacy...I'm not local, but I'm glad that I was in the area. I actually waited in the area until the restaurant opened at 5:30...Lolol!...Check it out!

Every time I go to Walkers I have an excellent food experience. The redfish Anna is superb and last night I tried the crab/flounder. The spinach was delicious and the flounder was cooked well. My wife had the prime filet with thin beans and bacon mashed potatoes, also flavors danced in your mouth. This place never disappoints

Very good fresh food. Personable service. We are traveling between Texas and Alabama and needed lunch that was not fast food. Walkers is only 5 minutes off of interstate 20. Great outdoor patio and amazing diner-like interior. Bathrooms modern and clean.

Jacob B.

Yelp
Such a solid spot and I'm consistently wowed every time I have the opportunity to dine at walkers. What I really love about this place is that no matter how busy they are my are the food is always exceptional. No BS, after frequenting this place I honestly have only had one meal that I didn't care for. It was a seafood special that I personally didn't like but it wasn't due to a slip in their overall culinary excellence. Their staple menu items are top notch and I have 0 complaints or recommendations concerning how they can improve. A couple of pro tips. 1) It's super small (4 stools) but if you get a chance try to sit at the bar. It's a front row view of all the action and you have the opportunity to cut up with the staff a bit. Besides the food their staff is also amazing and cease to disappoint. 2) Their standard steaks are just as good as their specials. The price points between the standard steak offerings and specials are much different. (About double depending on the cut). I'll get the "bone in" special if I'm in the mood to splurge but if I was eating their weekly I'd stick with the standard filet. Don't get me wrong both flavors are exceptional I just don't see a significant difference. Again this is from the perspective of my palette and others may disagree. 3) If you want an intimate experience try to be seated on the original side. It can be loud at times but it's just a really cool spot especially if you are looking to impress a date. In my experience the newer side has been much quieter but it doesn't have the same old school ambiance that the original side has. Regardless of where you are seated the food and service will still be exceptional. 4) Parking can be a challenge so plan accordingly so you are not late for your reservation I've been to hundreds of restaurants throughout my travels and I can confidently say that Walker's is in my all time Top 5 restaurants. If you are in the Jackson, MS area or just passing through this is a must stop. This place is epic and highly recommended. Thank you to the staff and owners for creating such an exceptional culinary experience.

Much more upscale than it appears from the street, don't go in looking like a bum (like I did). Server was excellent, very friendly and knowledgeable. Food was top notch. It was midweek and not very busy but the server stressed it's much busier on the weekends and reservations are definitely recommended.

A Jackson must-not-miss staple, Walkers is always fantastic. From the fun, upbeat art deco styling to the cozy seating, to the fantastic menu, it never fails to impress!

I don't live in the Jackson area, but this is my favorite lunch spot to hit up when I work here. The service is fast and friendly. The food is delicious. And the owner is present and accommodating. Some of my favorites for lunch are the redfish and veggie sandwiches. For dinner the Waygu steak is AMAZING. Melts in your mouth. The portobello fries are also a must try.

I had dinner here with coworkers and the experience was terrific. A stunner right at the beginning is the literal book of a drink menu. The variety of wines was commendable, and the waitress was even willing to customize a cocktail for me. We tried an array of appetizers and from foie gras to fried portobello. As a seafood lover, my favorite are these delightfully flavorful crab cakes. I had no regrets getting the steak that the waitress adamantly recommended. The meat was juicy and fresh and was such a generous portion. For dessert, I highly recommend the brownie. It comes a la mode and with absolutely no regrets!

Came in for a work dinner earlier this week. Overall the feedback is solid with a couple exceptions. Good: - varied/diverse menu - friendly service - cozy ambience - delicious crab cake appetizer - fantastic tiramisu Bad: - freezing inside, multiple ppl wearing jackets (wish I had mine) - the prime bone in ribeye I ordered tasted anything but prime, little marbling, incredibly tough in spots with way too much gristle, made me wish I had gone w/the bone in filet instead - waiter would disappear for period of time w/o taking more drink orders - I got violently ill around 2am that night, stomach still isn't right yet

OMG this place was fantastic! I can't stop raving about how amazing it was. From the unique interior to the delicious fresh fish and friendly service, this place easily demands a 5/5 rating. One of my favorite parts of the whole experience is that the place reminds me of an unassuming prohibition bar in NYC. From the outside it looks like a casual drive in restaurant from the 1950s. Once you walk in, you feel as if you should be ordering a vanilla milkshake at the bar or at one of the colorful booths that align the wall. We arrived on a Saturday evening and the place was packed. Thankfully I was warned that although it looks like a 1950s diner, it's really an upscale restaurant and people were dressed really well. We started off with two glasses of wine. They had a pretty legit 'wines by the glass menu', and most of the wines weren't terribly expensive. Then we ordered their portabella mushroom fries app, which was mushrooms lightly battered and fried in a delicious aioli sauce. It was fantastic, I loved the sauce. For dinner I ordered the miso marinated seabass which was outstanding. This is the second restaurant I have ever been to in my entire life that had forbidden black rice and it complemented the dish so well. The seabass was really fresh and just melted in my mouth and the red curry coconut broth gave the dish a nice flavor. My date ordered the everything crusted #1 tuna, which I took a bite of and wow, this was some of the best tuna I have ever eaten! The fact that it said #1 sushi grade tuna, you knew this was going to be some high end tuna. The tuna came atop delicious cheese grits with tomatoes and chipotle glaze. Excellent flavor combination. Amazing spot, I would legit fly back to Jackson just to eat here!

My favorite restaurant in town. Always exceeds expectations. Absolutely delicious. The server was good at describing the specials which helped.

Wow. We ate here by accident the first night, by plan the next. All the food is great but I cannot forget the perfection of the Caesar salad, esp with a glass of a crisp white on a lovely summer evening on the patio. MAGIC.

We had a reservation and were immediately sat. It's incredibly, incredibly, crowded in the main building's interior. (If you live with claustrophobia, I would strongly suggest sitting outside or asking for a spot in the space next door.) The server greeted us promptly and definitely new her "stuff". There was no music or anything to dull the noise of every conversation being held within very close proximity. (Hey Walker's crew, that's an easy fix! ) Now, on to the important part! The food... OMG the food! Delicious! Absolutely, positively, delicious! Son of a chef here and I was floored at the flavors, presentation and timing of the dishes! It's moderate to high priced but worth every, single, cent! The mid-century vibe is on point as well! It's a Jackson staple... whether local or visiting, it's a must for date night!

I want to say it's been over a year since we've been in and the food is just as good as ever! The service is top notice! I highly recommend requesting Casey, upstairs! Making reservations, try the specials and if not get the veal and lobster Kathy. Don't leave without trying a fried pie. From start to finish this was easily a 5+ star experience! If you are lucky enough to go on a night when the lobster Mac and cheese is a special don't think twice, GET IT!

Best restaurant in the Jackson Metro - hands down! The more you eat - the better it gets!

The food was excellent and most of the service experience was too. The host squeezed us in when we accidentally made a reservation for the wrong night, and the busing staff was super attentive. The table service was an issue. The server at my table told us the restaurant had a full bar and could make any drink we wanted. But when I ordered a cocktail, he sneered and said he would make it for me "because things were slow" (things were not slow). I didn't understand what he meant by this and laughed it off to be polite. The men I was dining with ordered the same cocktails, but the server had no complaints about making drinks for them.

Omg! Where do I start. The service, food and drinks are always on point! The ambiance is also good...it's quaint! I don't think you will be disappointed! I've gone many times and it's always the same!
