OT: Places to eat in Jackson area
- Thread starter Tanjack13

I never understood the appeal. Why go out to Buggtussle to eat a steak off a metal plate when there are plently of good steakhouses in the Jackson area?
Elvie’s. I’m friends with the chef/coowner, and it’s close to the hospital. Tell him you’re in the beanbag club, and he’ll hook you up
I fee like it should be almost an ethical quandary for me that I have the same opinion of the BBQ @ Boo's as Lucifer. I think it is awesome. We live in the area & get carryout at least once every 2 weeks. Do I need to request some intervention?
I am not a fan of Kenova (read as my wife really doesn't like it, so we don't eat there).
It can be hard for some to realize the Devil is right, not to worry though it will get easier with time.
If you don't understand it, then I doubt any explanation of mine would do any good.
I’ve made the correction for you.
You probably haven’t eaten at Gibbes.
As far as the Bugtussle Argument is concerned, I’ll just note that Leatha’s was much better when it was located in Marion County.
When I am not lording over Hell I work with a guy who is the nephew of the Sylvester's owner. He is also is related to the guy that owned Gators, which is going to come back into the food scene soon, or at least that is what I have been told. There is a family down here in the South Side that is responsible for both Gators and Sylvester's. You are right about Sylvester's it is very good, those folks make some good BBQ. I have never heard of the food truck that you mention, but I will remedy that based on your suggestion. I know this might get me in trouble on the old sixpack, but the best BBQ in Jackson is in South Jackson. I also understand why many people do not know about it because when I tell folks in Brandon and Pearl that I am going to South Jackson for BBQ they look at me like I am crazy.
I love Crechales. We go there several times a year, usually on someone’s birthday. Food is great. Atmosphere is great. I prefer their seafood to their steaks.
Don’t expect fancy. Just get yourself some onion rings with comeback and some seafood.

I prefer the lamb chops over their steaks but as @Maroon Eagle and others have stated, it's damn good. The buttermilk pie is divine, almost as good as the ones my grandmother use to make.
If you're looking for a burger, Foundation Burger in Flowood is good but you might have a bit of a wait.
The lamb chops are outstanding.
Pro Tip:
Go with a Friend.
One orders steak; the other orders lamb chops.
Then swap out half a steak for a chop and vice versa.
That’s the Reese’s of Meat right there.
I have to try Foundation Burger— I’ve heard great things.
Yes the couple of times I've eaten at Gibbes it's been on paper plates. Bring cash, they're on the Dave Ramsey plan. It's a novelty, the steak isn't going to be any better worse than any higher end steak house or off your own grill.

If there is a waffle house, that would be a great place to hang out and dine with jacksonians.
**** are not needed as this is a valid question. However most places are fine.
Whenever you’re anywhere in Jackson you should be packing but honestly whenever I’m anywhere I’m packing.
Sounds like you’re just pissy about not being able to get a table, due to crowd of 5,000 waiting on their fish and bread from the head chef.
It may just be a coincidence, but I've always loved the Pig and Pint when I go for lunch on a weekday, but I've been a few times on Saturday and found it disappointing. Maybe different management/cooking teams, maybe nothing.
Shhhhh...the Gator's in Madison is spotty but excellent when they are on.
Dude had some ribs from Sylvester’s a few months ago and let me try them - agree, very legit
Ate this today - it’s legit. Apparently it’s the same people who own Kenova. Been searching for good smash burgers for a while, and found them today
My advice, don’t eat in Jackson
It’s a third world country when you cross county line road
Eat in Madison or Ridgeland

If there's not a Waffle House, he can always go to Golden Corral. They have a wide variety of food here just about a bit of everything in that place, not to mention he'll save some money to help them afford that second kid
If that's too high faluting, he can always go find him a Taco Bell or Wendy's somewhere.**
to the original poster, how did everything work out? good i pray. now for the question on everyone s mind, where did yall eat?

This. Still some of the best gyros anywhere. We go there every time we're back in New Jack City.
And those cottage fries . . . oh my!
Well, the one on I-55 at Northside just closed after having it's windows shot out recently. And that's in the better part of town, and far too close to my office (we have heard gunshots before but not from that).
We have a large number of them in this area. Most are normal, some are great because the cook has the skill, but a few weeks back in augusta, found one that would only serve plastic utensils. The staff had the metal ones used on them repeatedly at all hours of the day.
Waffle House variability is almost infinite. Couple of years ago I saw Blue Oyster Cult play in Hattiesburg (it was awesome). After show, I figured I'll get out of Hattiesburg, then get a bit to eat. Stopped at WH in Magee. Walked in and it was the most nasty, vile restaurant you could imagine. Drove on to Richland before stopping at the WH there. It was clean, service was great and food was delicious.
Haha, Sunshine brought me my lunch yesterday. I don't know if it is because they can see I tip on the app or what, but I get treated like royalty at Sonics. Also, I get to hit cardio and upper body with all the fighting I get to do.
Gators has a spot in Madison & I’ve had some wings and spare ribs from him that were legitimately outstanding. Im the type of guy that likes places like Boos & Pig N Pint for different reasons but I gotta have a black-owned bbq joint I can hit up. It’s like the great LD vs Petty’s debate. I’ll take both
Trout almandine, broiled or stuffed flounder, stuffed shrimp. Onion ring app. That’s the order there. Dead on take
