Or surrounding areas? Will have kids so can’t be too upscale. Like a catfish or steakhouse anywhere?
Places to eat a decent dinner in Brookhaven?

Betty’s or Magnolia Blues downtown. Bowie’s BBQ would probably be cool for the kids since it has a log cabin feel.
There is a “The Fish Fry” as well.

There is a surprisingly good restaurant scene in Brook. Downtown by the tracks are several options and they are all good, we usually do The Crouton or Georgia Blue. If you want to get your feedbag on, Poppas is the best buffet you find (and reasonably priced for what you get).
Serio’s pizza downtown is good…
It’s right next to the Magnolia Blues BBQ place others have mentioned. It’s right off the downtown tracks, with a few historical markers, etc.
Take the kids for a drive down Jackson street to see all the antebellum homes, if you have time!

As others have said, Brookhaven has a surprisingly good restaurant scene for a town its size. I’ll echo the Magnolia Blues recommendation, as they had live music the last time I was there so kids won’t be a problem. Georgia Blue and 1905 are good as well. Serio’s in its new incarnation is good as well (pronounced CEE-ROS if you’re a local). The Crouton is also good. For a watering hole, Recess 101 if it’s still open, otherwise stick with Magnolia Blues.
No doubt. The food scene in Brookhaven has come a long way since I was a kid. A night out on the town meant going to get a buffet at Western Sizzlin’
I used to spend summers with my grandparents in Brookhaven, so I have a soft spot for the town. Now let’s talk breakfast. Are you a Janie’s Pastries guy or a Dude’s Biscuits guy? Can’t really go wrong with either one, although Ms. Bea’s was my go-to option.
Both are great but if you forced me to pick one I’d go Dude’s biscuits.
I used to hunt on some land just north of Brookhaven and loved grabbing Dude’s after a morning hunt.
To Goat’s question, there is a fish house in Brookhaven called “The Fish Fry”. It’s been 10 years since I’ve eaten there but it used to be great.
Lived in Brookhaven most of my life, as many of the posters could claim it seems. My suggestion would be the Fish Fry or Bowies. Everything else is overrated. Georgia Blue is Sysco and Magnolia Blues is way overrated and over priced. Maybe have enough drinks and you will not notice it.

Went to Brookaven recently and ate at Broma's Deli and Poppa's Fish House. Both were good
Show me a restaurant that doesn't buy from Sysco and I'll show you a restaurant that can't buy on credit from Sysco.
Actually no, like most of the good from the place I got out. That being said I still maintain a business there so I am down there two to three times a week. I am sorry if my opinion offends you, it is just that my opinion. If you like overrated and over priced food then by all means do you. There is just better options that are not all that far away for what is being charged by the places in Brookhaven. Sorry if that is not a popular opinion.

Didn't he get robbed a year or so ago? Thought I remember seeing that on the news.
Yes. At gunpoint. On camera. Finally caught all the dudes. DA decided not to press charges. Copiah County justice system is almost as bad as Jackson Hinds.
The owner is my brother in law and a county supervisor.
