I’m going to take up for 2 of those places real quick. Pig N Pint has the best Carolina gold sauce in our area. They’re great for a pint & a good ole pulled bbq sand with Carolina gold sauce. The smoked baloney sandwhich is a heart attack waiting to happen but one of the best sandwhiches in the metro hands-down. Char has 2 entrees I’ll put up vs any restaurant anywhere in the metro: the blackfish & the prime cowboy bone-in ribeye. Those 4 meals from those 2 places are money. Full disclosure I like ownership of both & I’d feel good with spendin cash with either.

I know a lot of folks mentioned in this thread but one I don’t know is Eaton. And I tell a lot of folks he might be my favorite chef in town. The stuff he was doing at manship was phenomenal. I haven’t been in a min, life busy, but he was the perfect balance of creative but edible dishes. Pushes the bounds just enough without getting weird. And some like getting weird just to be weird. They’re artist. He won a national seafood contest in Nola on bbq shrimp. One of the best, most basic dishes out. The type of chef it takes to select that for a competition like that and then win the whole thing is so badass.
Based on the recommendations of this thread, I went to Foundation Burger for lunch today. It was very good, and I am stuffed.
Keifer's will be opening a new place in Madison soon.
ALSO....
Lou's Full Serv has opened Lou's All-American Sandwich in Ridgeland off Highland Colony Pkwy. It's in the old Majestic Burger place. The MadLady and I had lunch there the other day and their Smash Burger is legit. It fell apart as I was eating it but was delicious. If you've had a smash burger from the Neon Pig in Tupelo then you know what I'm talking about. Probably two of the best burgers you can eat in Mississippi.

Aplos has the best pizza in town, IMO. My wife usually gets the veg plate, which I’ve sampled, and it’s excellent too.
Plus it’s crazy cheap for what you get. I think the pizzas are about $12 and will easily feed two.
$12 on the average is about right. I’m a big ol boy and even I can only eat about 2/3 pizza.
He is.
I have one issue with Aplos but I’m aware that it’s likely a minority opinion:
Very good food but their pizza crust is too thin for my taste. But I guess thinner crust saves them money in the long run?
It doesn’t prevent me from going to Aplos but I can’t call it the best pizza in town.
(That would either be The Bank by Pizza Shack or Bravo)
The Manship, as previously mentioned, is outstanding.
The thin crust is what I like about it. But I can understand why other folks wouldn’t. Bravo is probably the only pizza in town I haven’t had yet that I’d like to try. It’s just that when we are down around highland village, we are probably gonna eat Aplos, Beagle Bagel, or Broad Street across the interstate. Bravo just doesn’t usually come up.
The baloney sandwich at Pig N Pints is great!
But I generally avoid Jackson.

I'm a huge Neon Pig fan. Their cooterie board is legit too. Never had anything bad there.
