Bbq grits

The atmosphere and customer service was great. The food was very bland. $53 for a tasteless, medium center cut butterfly steak was not what I expected. Tasted like I was eating a fresh dead cow. Nothing spectacular about this restaurant. Would not recommend or revisit unless you enjoy overpriced food with no seasoning.

BBQ Shrimp & Grits

Service was amazing, & the food was very good. The Shrimp & Grits are a must try! So delicious!! Thank you Amanda for such great service.

Lump crab cakes.

I could have cried over the lack of service over my entire visit. Felt totally invisible, and they were not busy. Meal service at the bar: I do not recommend. Common service such as cleaning my space. Checking on me. Providing utensils. I had a $50 meal so it wasn't like I just ordered bar peanuts. The food quality was the only saving grace. I should have asked to have my own table.

Tenderloin tips! Next level and TONS of meat!

This was a super cool and unexpectedly unique experience on our trip to Jackson! Firstly, very calm, subdued beautifully decorated restaurant! Staff seemed super friendly and my Mother-In-Law loved that there was a "no hats indoors" (not sure of the specific verbiage) sign on the front door. I got some fries that turned out to be ALL the fries. Everywhere. There is now a national fry shortage because of the mountain of delicious fries that were depositied on our table! These are a must. The tenderloin tips were stellar! So earthy with the mushrooms and other veggies! I am not sure if I would want to recommend anything else. I am sure all items are nice but this...was...next...level meat! All-in-all a great time with family and wonderful food! Will add this to my "Back in Jackson" bookmarks!

B-Day Shot!

Overcooked choice-grade filets. Awkward upstairs location. For an upgraded experience for the same price, go to MM Shapley's.

The parmesan peppercorn dressing is to die for and you should try your steak "Pittsburg style" at least once. The service is fast and friendly and they make you feel like royalty when dining here.

Low lighting, white tablecloths and excellent service. I hate I can't remember my server's name because he should teach a master class on providing service. I ordered the salmon, cooked medium, with a side of asaparus. My mom and sister both got the 8oz filet. Mom got her's cooked medium with mushrooms, while my sister did medium rare with a side of housecut fries. All entrees come with a salad, and we all three picked the vinaigrette dressing. Salad and dressing needed salt. I hate I didn't go with another dressing because I would have really enjoyed my salad more. My salmon and asparagus were very tasty. My mom said her steak melted in her mouth. The side of fries were huge so we all ate some. They were really good! Momma and my sister got the bread pudding and I went with the chocolate chess pie for dessert. You can tell they make the desserts as they were soooo good! It was my first time dinning there but won't be my last.

But this one was just right for me. I feel like you could show up after a round of golf and it would be cool. That's as long as you don't have swamp ass, LOL. Inside is well lit and airy. There are lots of windows and it's quite comfortable. Our server was great. So good in fact, I have no recollection of them or the service. That's strange. Nothing. I can't even remember if they were male or female?!?!? I do however remember my food. We started with crab claws. They were darn tasty. Nice lemon flavor to the batter and the sauces were great accompaniments. Would recommend! For dinner I chose the Prime Chile Rubbed Flank Steak. Gosh damn was it good! Perfectly cooked, seared well, and still medium rare inside! The sauce was fantastic as well and the fresh cut Parmesan fries were a stupendous addition to the dish! I loved the whole damn thing!!! The spinach was quite unique and very good. It was like crispy sautéed of something. I must have made some noises that my dinner companion had to know about because he ate a couple slices of my steak after I was done. I thought about dessert but the boys didn't want to help so maybe next time!! I will come back here. I hope this meal was not a fluke!! I can't stop thinking about that damn steak!! '26 - 40
