    Irish Chicken Curry
    Kadie D.

    Chose this for my birthday dinner specifically to try the curry chicken. We like trying different things and love Japanese and Indian curries. The Irish chicken curry was fantastic! Could definitely be addicting. Kinda wish I would have ordered some to go as well. Has some similarities to a Japanese curry. We also got the Reuben rolls and the Dirty South burger. Definitely an older place and bathrooms could have been cleaner but it is a pub so... The bartender was the only server but he hustled. Service was good even though a large party came in as we were finishing up. We are already making plans to go back and try the curry poutine, chicken sando, and the scotch eggs.

    Went to eat at Fenian's Pub for the first time. Went with a group, so ordered the potato croquettes, they were ok, a little gummy in the middle, Guiness BBQ chicken wings, good wings!, and reuben egg rolls, good also, wish they had a little more meat. Entrees: Two of us had the fish and chips, it is a decent size hunk of battered cod and what looked like hand cut fries with tartar sauce and comeback sauce. The fish was awesome! Been looking for a long time for a decent battered fish and chips in the metro area, finally found it. The fries were between a regular fry and steak fries in size. The cook on the fries were a little too long as they were a little hard. The tartar sauce was good, i did not use the comeback sauce. The other party had the corned beef and cabbage. He really enjoyed it and gave us a piece of the corned beef and it was probable the most tender corned beef i have every had. I definitely would go back.

    Fenian's is a chill pub here in the suburbs of Jackson. The food was legit. The atmosphere reminded me of my college days. The staff was very quick

    Fish tacos
    Dawn M.

    This is my second visit here (once for lunch and then dinner). I've gotten the fish tacos both times and had the same server each visit and neither disappointed. Place is very divey with a hole-in-the-wall feel to it and it's small. But everyone there is welcoming and food is great. I enjoy the fish tacos as the fish is always hot and the sauce that comes on top takes it over the edge. The fries are ok but by the time I finish the tacos I really don't care about the fries. Defiantly worth stopping by.

    Pub Wings (Buffalo)

    Great place to drop in and hang out with friends! Drinks are good and the bartenders and servers are nice (always the same people when I go since I only ever go with my friends). Super casual, and laid back vibes. Feel free to bring your own card & board games for an extra good time. Great bar food like the buffalo pub wings! Still iffy on the signature dishes since I've only had one and tried it once-- the Irish Curry Chicken-- I ate it served over rice but you can get the fries. It was just alright but not a complete write-off. It's worth the try!

    Met up with a few foodies today for lunch at Fenians! I got the Thursday special, hamburger steak with mash potatoes. The mashed potatoes was creamy, just the right amount of butter. Everyone at the table got to try my mash and loved it! This was my first time having mash and slightly cooked kale, I really enjoyed the texture combo! I think I want my mash with kale from now on. The hamburger steak was nicely seasoned with a hint of sweetness from the caramelized onions. I didn't know that I can request my hamburger steak to be cooked medium, so it was made well done and a hair tough, but now I know. The technique on how to make a scotch egg is a tad tricky to get right. They got that baby down. Yolk was still runny, had just the right amount of sausage, fried crispy without overcooking the yolk, but thoroughly cooking the sausage. It's like breakfast in one bite! The ladies that ordered the curry really enjoyed it, I got to try some, and it was good. It had some Indian spices in it, but very faint. I didn't taste any heat, but I have no sense when it comes to spicy, the ladies said it was mild. We all got to try the fish n chips. Cod was fresh, the fry on the fish and chips were spot on, but just needed a hint of salt.

    I love a good burger. And this place was probably the best burger I've eaten since moving to Jackson a few years back. I will be going back

    Stop for the Poutine unless your next stop is Canada along I-55. I am not convinced that it is Irish. I am not convinced that is Canadian. I do not know in what ethnic group this "Irish Poutine" fits. It is a mystery that I do not care to solve. Do you remember your 5th grade science project volcano? The one where the baking soda and red dye erupted? Keep that in mind. The crevice of brown gravy marinates the standard golden bar-fries. The ones toward the bottom are goners--mush. Delightful mush as they fade away. The surviving fries drift afloat sending SOS signals as they reach for those green chive lifesavers. They are still hot and crispy. That familiar ball-game yellow cheese weighs heavy on them. No one received the SOS transmission. They are sinking into their brown salty demise rapidly. Irish or not; it is efffin' delicious. Don't wait for the real thing in Canada. Stop here and this may weigh in on your original decision to travel to Canada. Editor's note: all late-night bar nachos are delicious. However, this poutine is the exception. It is a gran slam because of its banal elements: fries; gravy; meat; cheese. Any combination of those would be great.

    This place is a solid 5 star, but I only do 4 stars just not to seem I'm biased. So it's 5 stars. My boyfriend took me here because he used to come here when he lived in MS and he thought I would like it. He wasn't wrong. We shared the potato croquette with chicken and chips, it was amazing, I'm writing this review as I eat. Our friend got the chicken curry, everything was so good. The service was great too. I forgot to take pics when food came, so I did the end result Highly recommend.

    This is my neighborhood bar and it's always a good time. Unique, eclectic little spot for Jackson, Mississippi. I usually get whiskey shots and pickle juice! Also, get the fried pickles for snacking. Delicious.

    So far the service has been great Jamie is a very nice person and a cut up. Will place a full review shortly.

    This place on on point! Their Scottish egg was one of the best I've had our bartender Jamie kept our drinks full and was entertaining. I ordered the Ruben on Jamie's referral and he was not wrong. My friend had the shepherds pie with lamb and it was fantastic

    Jackson's authentic Irish Pub. Cozy atmosphere, excellent fare, and a broad offering of traditional drinks from across the pond.

    Are y'all wheelchair accessible?

    No, unfortunately not.

    Saw delicious, unique burgers on their Instagram, but they weren't on the menu. Do they not serve the same burgers daily?

    Hey Christie! Most of those are specials that we change weekly. Keep an eye out for our new menu that will feature more of our delicious burger offerings. Although, the Fenian’s Burger that is currently on the menu is definitely our favorite. Hope… 

    Is there live music on the weekends?

    Both Friday and Saturday nights, Music generally starts by 9 PM and could go as late as 1AM. Monday…

    Probably my favorite go-to in Jackson for food, drink, atmosphere and just "getting out". Not a…read moretraditional tavern that I could describe only to say I have never felt unwelcome here, never been cussed at here, never been given attitude here and NEVER been shot at. My go-to meal is the Werewolf Bait sandwich or Brii burger. I would argue that their cocktail menu and expertise is second to none in town. Always a perfectly tailored beer tap selection plus bottle and can selection. In the mood to play a game or games? They will have it here. Want an obscure drink? They will make it here...and likely make one you have not heard of. Head on over and you won't be disappointed.

    Came here because it was one of the few places open on Easter Sunday as we were driving home, and…read morewe were very impressed. First, the decor is very cool. Great Legos on display, a cool "game" vibe, and very friendly staff. The food was also really good. The chili cheese tots were excellent. The tots were crispy and the chili and cheese were delicious. My chicken sandwich on Texas toast was also very good. The pickles they put on this sandwich, along with the garlic mayo, really add great flavor, and the toast was buttered and perfectly toasted. The pizza was good and you can add extra pepperonis if you want, for $1. They have tons of board games and card games and even a few video games for people to play. They host gaming nights, apparently, which is cool. The service was also really good. They asked if we wanted water to go, and without asking, they brought a small to-go cup of lemons, since we had lemon with the water we had with our food. A very nice touch. It's an interesting place in the middle of Mississippi that is worth stopping at if you're passing through around lunch time.

    Greeted warmly by hostess with the mostest Amie D who later on helped me purchase some Key City…read moreBrewing souvenirs. Anyway Amie very kindly sat us near the window and wished us good evening. The interior is quite nice and clearly a very old building repurposed into a dining area and nice looking bar. Almost forgot Amie did offer to seat us in the air conditioned patio however we chose to sit near the windows and battled flies to boot! lol. Fortunately I had our trusty fly repeller thingy which kept them at bay. Although I do think the restaurant should invest in those wall mounted fly gizmos as I did see a wasp or two as well. Be careful out there! Now as to our friendly server Allie M , she was kind , quick , and attentive. We each had the brewery's Mr Sippi pilsner was tasty and more importantly cold! I followed that with an excellent Malbec. My wife had a chicken salad and I had a pizza. All were good. Oh and their fries ? Excellent!

    We ordered takeout from here on a Saturday around 2pm…read more Cheese pizza, pepperoni pizza, and an order of buffalo wings. Everything was ready in about 20 minutes as estimated by the employee who took our order. The restaurant itself, while we didn't dine-in, looked nice inside with an indoor/outdoor setup. We were with our dog and had just finished doing some sightseeing so we wanted to get back to our rental to eat. All of the food was awesome! The wings were absolutely delicious! Wings are a staple of my wife's diet when visiting a pub/bar and I will say confidently these wings were the best I've ever tasted (across the country). If all wings tasted this good then I'd eat them all the time too. Perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned, and plenty of meat on each wing. They literally didn't need sauce. The pizza was equally as good, and I'm unashamedly snobby and critical about pizza. Admittedly, the only thing that may put people off is how greasy they are. I literally had a grease stain on my pants after resting the box on my lap for a couple of minutes on the ride home. But that aside, the flavor of both pizzas was fantastic! Perfect amount of cheese, a great tasting sauce, and a perfectly charred crust that wasn't too thick or too thin (although you will need to fold it to eat it or the slice will flop downward from the weight of the cheese). If you love pizza and wings, then eat here. As an aside, I've also had their beer, which is served at the property we were staying at, in Vicksburg. The Mr. Sippi is a very drinkable Pilsner. So all-in-all, you can't go wrong here!
