The food was good, but not great. The portion size was as expected for a meat-and-two. The ambiance was typical of the restaurant type. Customer service was friendly and laid back. read more

friendly service preparing blue plate lunches with several vegetables options. the portions are large and good came out hot which i appreciate. the tables , chairs and decor was mismatched and dated. it gave a feeling of the establishment not being as clean as possible. interior upgrades would be a big improvement for this little lunch spot. read more

I had a good country lunch there today, steak tips, Lima beans, mashed potatoes and cornbread. It was great. We usually go on Sunday for lunch and the fried chicken is some of the best around read more

I'll keep this one short. Its OK. Nothing is really outstanding. The waitress was really nice and attentive, so that deserves a good tip regardless of the food which makes this a pretty expensive lunch for what you get. read more

I got the lemon baked chicken and i only ate a little bit before the rest of the chicken was js bones

Classy country southern food restraunt looks good as well so I can't judge food looks neatly made and plates aren't just made in a rush.

This was a fantastic recommendation from a friend and we are so glad we stopped! I love Meat and Three places and this surpassed my expectations - all the sides were delicious - especially the fried okra and butter beans. I also had the Fried Chicken and it was perfectly done. Save some room for dessert! The pie was to die for! read more

Good food but quite heavy. Prices are good. Service was great. Sitting area was tight. Kid friendly.

We had lunch today. Short wait for table and great food and service. Pickel is the best waitress!

This is a local blue plate dive. I have not been fan but thought one more time. The staff was great. The food I would classify as prison food. The broccoli and rice casserole was like mush. I thought about baby food as I tried to eat it. Lima beans were warmed out if the big cans. The fried chicken had no taste at all. It was dry and over cooked. The unsweet tea was good. I decided to try the banana pudding expecting it made of jello pudding. I have to say I wanted to lick the bowl, it was like grandma cooked. Overall VERY disappointed. Not worth the $15.45 tab. I wish them good days ahead but I will not return. read more

I've been eating at Fannin Mart ever since I was in high school (I am 30 years old now). Back then they were located in their old location where it was really homey, old-fashioned, and the food was way better. They still have their same rituals with Mason jar drinks, bread pail (cornbread and rolls in a metal pail) and paper bag menus which are always a unique and creative touch that I love. I usually order the same thing every time I go. Last weekend, on a Sunday, I ordered a fried breast and leg, cabbage slaw, green beans, turnip greens, yams, and unsweet tea. I also tried some of my friend's Berry Cream Cheese Pie, Irish potato casserole, and "roast beef". First off, their prices have gone wayyyy up from back in the day. Of course, I understand for inflation but in my opinion, for the quality, $13 is way too much and I am no cheapskate either. I am a FOODIE and experienced cook so I critique kind of harshly. Unsweet Tea: It was okay. I've had better tea and I like my tea to taste like tea. The huge Mason jars are a plus though. I took a sip of my friend's sweet tea, nothing to rave about. I do like that their tea is dark (not like colored water) but for some reason, it doesn't taste dark (strong). * Cabbage Slaw: It was flavorful, fresh and crunchy, and cold. * Yams: It was yummy, maybe a tad too much sugar but it was still good. * Green beans: They were flavorful but you can definitely tell that they put sugar in their green beans which most southern cooks do but I personally don't. * Turnip greens: They were okay. They were indeed from scratch but I think it lacked a little flavor. * Fried chicken: This is my biggest disappointment. The chicken looked rather small (at least in our basket). The breast looked like a thigh (size-wise) and all of the chicken pieces looked "dark"--i.e. fried too long or in old oil. The taste was good but it was not like I remembered back in the day. My friend's wing looked so puny that it could've came from a baby chicken, lol. * Irish potato casserole is ALWAYS and STILL IS good. Maybe one of my favorite sides overall. The roast beef was not what I expected. It was more like dry pot roast. * Roast beef and pot roast are NOT the same things. Pot roast is that stringy beef that comes from a shoulder roast, a chuck roast, or cross rib roast, all originating from the front part of the cow. It takes a slow, moist roast very well and falls tenderly apart as soon as you remove it from its broth. Roast Beef has a steak like texture and will stand firmer when sliced and comes from cuts like round sirloin tip, eye of round and London broil. -Hence, Fannin Mart is serving pot roast, not "roast beef". * The Berry Cream Cheese Pie would've been awesome if it was COLD. It came out warm and borderline melting. Maybe it was because the air was not working properly that day. In conclusion, it is an "ok" place to eat and great place to spend time with family and friends . read more

The food is fantastic. This is a must eat every time I am home to visit. Their fried chicken is my go to ALWAYS. If you want home cooking without having to cook at home, this is where you go. I love this restaurant! Very affordable and they are always so nice. I have been eating here since the restaurant was located in an old house on 471 when the wait was out of the door into the driveway on Sundays. This place is a staple in my humble opinion. read more

Update: after three years my wife convinced me to go back. Much better. Food is good, staff is nice, prices are good. Went from one star to four. read more

A co-worker took me here for lunch the other day and I was pleasantly surprised. I had never hear of this place before but apparently they have been around for quite a while and occupied a couple of different spaces. I have a vegetable plate and everything was tasty. I want to go back and check out their breakfast on Saturday morning. read more

I was so disappointed at the food served at this restaurant. I ordered green tomatoes and they were way too greasy, the vegetables were not seasoned, and the cornbread had no taste at all! I feel as if I wasted my time and money! The service was good, but they will never attract new customers if they don't improve on food preparation! I wish them well! i would never, never invite anyone to eat there! read more

I can remember when this restaurant was a little place in Fannin. It has moved locations several times, and while the food is good Southern style blue plate, the prices have gone up each time, to the point that I've found places that serve a blue plate meal with quality for a few dollars less. The fried chicken is great! Most of the food is delicious and feels as if it was made in a home kitchen. You must try the cakes and pies! The atmosphere is as expected for a true Southern kitchen, with mismatched chairs and tables and the menu is written on a brown paper sack. read more

Loving the country charm feel... kinda over the top with their paperbag menus... but a nice lil touch I will probably incorporate into my next family gathering... The service is very professional but our lol server was quite overwhelmed... They offered free dessert today with every meal which I thought was nice... If we had actually gotten what we asked for and then not have had to wait 20 minutes after we had finished our meal well let's jus say I was hoping for the desserts to be the highlight of a twenty dollar meal.... And using the word meal lightly we ordered the fried chicken with cornbread dressing boiled cabbage and cucumber salad...the chicken was okay if u like crusty chicken which I don't but compared to the other food... our cornbread dressing was wet rolls with a lot of salt and some seasoning... my cucumber salad was the first I've ever had in a white substance with visually old onions... and the cabbage was okay jus unseasoned... But I did enjoy my oversized mason jar of un sweet tea... The portion size is too small for the price but just right for the quality of food because I would have hated to leave a plate full of food... So if you're looking for charm and a great glass of tea go for it but eat first... read more

Best place to get some good true southern food. I love their meatloafs burgers, all the casseroles you can think of! They have plenty of options for everyone. Also Great after church meal with the family read more

Not coming here again. Prices are reasonable but high and the food was cold and tasteless. Fries were left out so they were cooked but so chilly. Burger "Fannin Burger" was completely tasteless. read more

Absolutely love the Fried Chicken here. Eating at this place reminds me of Grandmas country home cooking. I typically do not eat veggies, but I tear them up here. They are so fresh and worth eating! Lol Great place to eat with the family... read more

Foods ok. Nothing special but at lunch, they cut thighs in half and call it a piece of chicken. Never seen someone be that cheap before

This one of the best places to eat fried chicken. The vegetables are hit or miss - but the bread pudding with custard sauce is killer (go on a Thursday). My biggest complaint about the place is the floor - it is nasty. So sticky that your shoes make noise when you walk, sticking and unsticking to the floor. read more

Best blue plates in Jackson. The meatloaf and fries chicken is great. The veggies are great.

Ordered 3 white meat chicken lunches. Waitress brought 2 breasts and 2 wings. At first, I assumed she would bring out more, but since she didn't come back, we just ate. Finally, I asked what constitutes an order, she said one breast and one wing. I said, well since you didn't bring but two orders, perhaps you could adjust my daughter's order, since she just ate vegetables. At first, she just blamed it on the kitchen. Then said she could not adjust. It took getting the owner to realize that the "kitchen" only sent out 2 orders. It was good food, but disappointed in the delivery of service, or, lack of. read more

Great service and fantastic food! They handle a good deal of people at lunch time. You never wait long and the food is good old southern cooking! read more

fried chicken rocks!!!! so crispy and delicious!!! sides are good as well will definitely be back

Excellent fried chicken, crispy with a great batter. Sides tasted fresh and were homemade. The bread pudding was very good. A couple of unique touches... Menu written on a brown paper bag, and when an item was no longer available, they crossed it out. Beverages served in large mason jars. Very much a family restaurant. read more

Had dinner at this unique little place with some family. Of all the good fried chicken in the Jackson area, theirs may be the best. The vegetables were nice and fresh. They have a desert they call 'My Mama's Pie' that is out of this world. As someone else said, the menu is handwritten daily on brown paper bags. Good stuff. read more

I was in the Flowood area so I decided to try the fried chicken, and I truly did enjoy it along with a side of the field peas. I will be returning with my husband. Hey mac and cheese would've made my meal just like at grandma's house. I still felt the love from the dishes I did choose. read more

We enjoy eating here when we're close. Food is great. The owner is friendly & funny. His employees are kind too. Perfect place to meet with friends & visit while enjoying a delicious meal. read more

Food Is good. Great service. Unique rituals. Menu on a paper bag.

I used to go almost every Sunday after church to there original location and always enjoyed it. Since they moved to town I am very disappointed. When I have been the food is either under or over cooked. Not very hospitable and to busy to care for your needs. I really don't know how it had stayed open! read more

Always great food, service, and family atmosphere. Steve and the crew have always made us feel welcome, and seem genuinely concerned about our dining experience. read more

Menus on brown paper sacks & drinking from mason jars. Food is very down home, great place to get kids to eat vegetables. Not in the old location & that kinda stinks; but still great for Sunday lunch after church. read more

My wife and I used to eat here a lot and the food was decent and it's close to our neighborhood. Recently I went to pick us up 2 to-go lunches. I walk in, pay and get my bag with 2 to go plates. Why wouldn't I think that one plate was mine and the other my wife's? But No, not the case. One plate had '2' orders of chicken. More like 1 and 1/2 and the other plate had one order of each vegetable we ordered. (We ordered the same vegetables). So basically they gave me an order and a half of fried chicken and that's being generous. And ONE order of each vegetable. Umm... No, I paid for TWO to go plates not 3 pieces of chicken and one order of vegetables. I wanted to call and let these people know how I felt about it but my wife talked me out of it. 26 dollars for that!! Needless to say we wont be back. read more

This is for the new location in madison. Service was less than basic and we had to get most things ourselves. They advertised "free desert Monday" and ran out of deserts by 12:05. Their comment was that they only made a total of 8 pies. I've been a patron of fannin mart since its original location, I won't be back here though. Very unfortunate read more

Used to live nearby a long time ago. Place was always packed, but the food really wasn't that great.

Really enjoy Fannin Mart! Comfort food made like mom. Owners really nice and care about your honest opinion. Something isn't right and they'll do what they can to satisfy you. read more

Very disappointed, I once loved this place but my last 2 visits have changed my mind. First off the prices continue to go up and the amount of food you receive is not very much including the kids. Do not go if you can not be there prior to 1 pm. They run out of everything yet you still pay the same price & poor quality service. They ran out of rolls, tea, & many items on the menu. We had a young guy as our waiter who was in another world he acted like. All of our food came out incorrect and he never offered to correct it, he said, "I'm sorry" as he shrugged his shoulders. I am aware it is not his fault, the kitchen does this but he should have made it right. When I ask for the bread with our food he informed me they were out, this being after he told us they were out of tea and majority of the vegetables for that day. The kids chicken legs barely had any meat on them at all. They should have at least received 2 legs, it was pitiful. I wish I would have taken a picture but I was in such shock of how bad our experience was. After the waiter brought out our food & ticket he was done. Never came back for refills or anything. He went to a table with a bunch of young workers and began to eat his meal also. I am sad to say I will not be back here again. read more
