I Ordered a cup of seafood gumbo (no rice-hate rice in gumbo) and it was good. Just a tad too salty but it had plenty of shrimp and sausage and good flavor. Would definitely get that again. Ordered the Tres Leches French toast and decided I better get the half order due to the gumbo. It was two pieces of Texas toast so that was a good call, as I barely finished my plate. It didn't require syrup due to the chantilly cream and cherries. I really enjoyed the taste of it. The bacon was the thick kind, similar to Wrightes Bacon, and was cooked well too. I won't complain about service since it's a holiday. My server was actually pretty good but it did take a while for my food to come out. I'm glad I finally got to try the brunch at Hal and Mal's and look forward to trying other dishes.

Great place to have a late lunch! The fish app was delicious and me and my husband shared the…read moreredfish special and really enjoy it, especially the balsamic vinaigrette pearls they put on top. The sides are very good as well. We got a baked potato which was fluffy inside , fried okra and a side salad (homemade ranch..yummy). Our kids got fried chicken tenders and cheeseburger and they all cleaned their plates so I think they really enjoyed it. We love the laid back atmosphere and the service was excellent. It's the definition of a dive.

My husband and I was in Jackson today for his job and one of his co-workers told us to go by…read moreand try this restaurant so by the time we made it to Jackson it was lunch time so we stopped by. From the time we walked through the door the service was excellent! We were greeted with a smile and didn't have to wait. We were taken right to a table. The server came with a smile and got our drink order and food order. I don't think we waited 15 minutes for our order. It was hot and fresh and oh so good! We both got the lunch special grilled pork chops with 2 sides and a roll. The server kept checking on us to make sure we were good and if we needed anything and after we finished our meal the manager even came by to ask if everything was okay. I highly recommend The Iron Horse Grill!! 2 thumbs up and 5 stars

17 people in our group. Service was spectacular. Orders taken quickly and efficiently. Food came…read moreout fast and overall was correct. We started eating here probably 30 years ago when it was the OG. Mike always got the crawfish enchiladas and I got the habanero cream sauce pasta with grilled shrimp. He got fried shrimp tonight. The shrimp were jumbo and fried perfect. The "depot" fries are frozen crinkle cut. He subbed the Mac and cheese for the okra. It's more of a less sauce old fashioned Mac and cheese. I got my old habanero cream sauce pasta. It was served in the tiniest of bowls but the amount of food was good. Why not serve it in a normal sized dish? I would rather have the 4 jumbo shrimp they used to serve back in the day rather than the smallish medium shrimp. The sauce was thicker than I prefer but flavor was decent. I'll try something different next time. The cocktails were delicious. Again, the service and speed of things was incredible for a party of 17. My biggest negative was the music is ridiculously loud. Serving food to 17 people with that music was diabolical and we could not even visit. The group was great but the volume needs to be turned down. Def recommend for a large group but be prepared for music that is concert volume.

I love Martin's! I've always just thought of them as a dive bar, but recently discovered that they…read morehave weekday blue plate specials - and the food is good. Each special comes with a choice of bread and two sides, but you can add a third one for just $1.00. My go-to is the pot roast blue plate. I get it with cheese grits, fried okra and green beans (unless they have cabbage as the vegetable of the day). Martin's has THE BEST fried okra. The Redfish Kathleen is also delicious! I'm a sucker for crawfish cream sauce. Drinks are always good, and so is service. The atmosphere is very chill. Come as you are. There are a few seating areas: The bar, the patio, the main dining area and back dining room. They have live musicians on the patio on Friday nights. Martin's also has another room with a stage for events. Go!

Went here last weekend with friends and had an enjoyable experience! I heard about the $5 Friday…read moremenu online and had to ask for it after we were sat, as it's not given to you upon being sat. Looking at the $5 menu (it ends at 8pm), I can definitely see why it's a crowd favorite. The restaurant was full, the DJ was playing jams, and the menu options were pretty good. From that $5 menu, we got spinach artichoke dip, which was okay (I think it should be started with chips instead of bread??), and wings which were fire. I got the lemon pepper. They were delicious. That menu also has lemon drops, and for $1 extra, you can get it and then array of different flavors, such as mango, peach, passionfruit, strawberry, etc. I got raspberry at the servers recommendation and it was good. For entrées, my friend got the Cajun pasta, and I loved it. I would order that one again. They also got oxtail, which I didn't try. I got the red fish, and let me tell you it was gigantic! I've never had this, so I was really taking a risk. I found that I don't think I love red fish, as it didn't have the flavor profile I was expecting, however, the sauce on it really brought it to the next level. I got some to go. The greens were extremely salty unfortunately, but the cornbread was really good. I know a lot of people talk about the service and sadly, I did feel the same. It did seem that our server was gone for extended periods of time, and we did wait a while to put in another order for the $5 menu. Initially one of our lemon drops didn't come out either, and we had to ask about it. However, I will say that once we were ready to order entrees, the service did seem to get better. Our server communicated that the kitchen was working on getting out food from the 8 o'clock deadline, and that she would come back and take our order in a bit. I appreciated that communication and didn't mind waiting after. I noticed that within 30 minutes, the restaurant really cleared out, so I'm thinking that a lot of people come for that menu and then leave.. which is surprising because it's a really good looking menu and if I lived in town, I would definitely come back to try more. Add to that later, I also noticed that hookah came out and the DJ got more live.. just something to note!

We loved the attention to detail on the decor and layout. The vibe and streaming music was nice and added to the experience. The hubs ordered an assortment of wings and I tried the oxtail pasta. The wings were pretty good. The oxtail pasta took quite a while to come out. The hubs had finished his plate before mine arrived. The new bartender was very kind and gracious when reporting on the delay. Upon arrival, the oxtail itself had a heat (like Jalapeño seed heat) that I wasn't prepared for, but the oxtail meat was falling off the bone and well prepared nonetheless. We didn't order drinks this time around, but will return when we're in the area for drinks, apps, and a vibe! Happy to see this new business in the area, and wishing them all the best.
