One of the better places to eat in Tupelo. The butter burger was great, and the fries are some of the best you can find.

I've been here a couple of times. This time the restaurant was festive for the holidays. I tried two tacos (fish and shrimp) this time around and I was unimpressed by them. They were very bland. Our waitress was really nice and accommodated our group. She was very descriptive and shared her favorites with us I'll come back again as it's convenient for the location but will definitely try something different. read more

The atmosphere, especially the music, is always a great vibe. Their drinks are delicious; my go-to is The Daisy. I only take off a star for the lack of vegetarian options. They have incredible cauliflower tacos, but those are only offered during the afternoons, so dinner is even more limited. read more

First, just be aware that prices have gone way up since the last menus were posted (posting new ones here), so be prepared for sticker shock. I stuck with the basic burger, adding Swiss cheese, and was more than satisfied with the size and the included fries. The side of slaw I added was not what I expected -- the cabbage was very finely grated and the flavor was heavy on the acidic end; could have used a touch more sweet and maybe some carrots (might have been in there, couldn't tell). The decor is colorful and fun, with a big high ceiling. I stayed at the adjoining Hotel Tupelo, so I took my leftover fries up to the room for later. I saw several couples there on what seemed to be dates, and there was a pair of doctors in scrubs at the table next to me, simultaneously eating supper and attending some kind of online seminar. A large group of teachers from a state conference occupied a group table, and the atmosphere was lively. Noise level is fairly high. read more

Jobos is located inside the fairly new Hotel Tupelo and just a short walk from Cadence Bank Arena, which makes it super convenient. We came here for dinner one night, and while the experience started off rocky, it turned around quickly. There were several empty tables by the windows, so we asked our waitress if we could sit at one of them. She said no and told us that section was closed. The restaurant is narrow and was nearly empty, so it felt odd that those tables weren't available. She was also pretty rude about it. But then the manager came out, apologized immediately, and told us of course we could sit there. She even mentioned she'd been having issues with that particular waitress. Her quick response and professionalism honestly made the whole situation a non-issue and earned this place five stars right off the bat. As for the food, I ordered the burger, and it was great. They have some really good-looking cocktails, though I didn't try any that night. My friend ordered the shrimp cocktail as her main meal and enjoyed it. I'll definitely give Jobos my business again next time I'm in the area. read more

I was in Tupelo looking for something different and I came across Jobos. I didn't realize it was a hotel restaurant at first but what the heck, I'll give it a try. Located inside of Hotel Tupelo. You enter the restaurant through the hotel and it's a beautiful boutique hotel, very cool! As I approached the restaurant I asked the young lady working what would she recommend but she had only been working there a few days. As I scanned the menu I spotted The Jobos Butter Burger made with a Short Rib Grind, Benton's Bacon, Herb Butter, pickles with a side of Parmesan Fries. I love a good burger. While I waited on my food I took some pics and every employee I encountered was pleasant. I got back and assembled my burger and it was Delicious!!!! Juicy!! The most Flavor Filled Burger I've had in some time. Every Burger from now on needs to be made with a Short Rib Grind. The fries were good, I've had better. I wish that they were Truffle Parmesan Fries but I would eat them again. Well done Jobos! read more

Amber was our waitress and she was super nice and helpful. We arrived an be before the kitchen closes so we quickly decided what we wanted. I ordered the wings, they were a bit salty but still good, and a side of fries. The fries were delicious and came out piping hot. I had a skinny margarita to drink, which was good. The place is super small but very cute. It was a Monday night, so it was filled with a few business ppl. I have been before but mainly on the weekends, so different group. I totally recommend!! read more

I really can't recommend any aspect of this place. When you pay $50 for 2 sandwiches, you have reasonable expectations. Very overpriced average at best food. The server was the best part. She was very nice. No biscuits at brunch time. I'm sorry, Jobos doesn't cut it. read more

Well we were excited about trying Jobo's. Girls night out! WELL apparently the menu was changed fairly recently! Was a funky atmosphere and nothing on the menu that appealed all! Felt bad for our waitress but we left and ate elsewhere! Was decorated weirdly for a very cute boutique hotel! read more

Quick trip to Tupelo to meet friends. Chose Jobo's for brunch! Great service! Great food! Will return again.

The food, atmosphere and service is excellent here. I had the fillet tonight and it was superb. The bartenders Kaelin and Tylor are great.

All the servers were chatting with each other and it wasn't busy. I tried to ask for recommendations but the server seemed unfamiliar with the menu. The food was good but pork was a little fatty. Could have been heavier on the coleslaw. Was a nice presentation for a sandwich. read more

Jobos in Tupelo was amazing! The restaurant's industrial decor and soft lighting created a cozy and intimate atmosphere. Chas was a knowledgeable server, and the tomato salad with slaw, micro-greens, pork belly, and peas was a delicious choice. I am not a fan of black eyed peas...who even eats those? Well they served it and it worked in this salad so I ate it and enjoyed them. The blackened shrimp was the perfect add-on. Don't miss out on this amazing dish while it is still on the menu! #JobosTupelo #TomatoSalad #BlackenedShrimp #MustTry read more

Of course I had to start with my typical Old Fashioned. It seems to be a good starting point for evaluation. It was made with Bulleit, and I appreciated them asking if I had another preference. I liked the shape of the glass... easy to pick up and hold. And there was a good portion in there for em. Nice ice cube - actually a cube and not a sphere. And the slice of orange zest was perfect. I did miss my muddled cherries, but it was very good overall. I started with the Soup and Grilled Cheese. The star of the dish was definitely the soup. A "ginger chicken" soup had a very deep complex flavor. Very "heart" chicken flavor, and the ginger / pepper seasoning was perfect. The sandwich was "panini style". I was not expecting that. It was very good though, and a perfect pair for the Soup. .the only change I would make would be a deeper bowl to retain the temperature... uncooked off kinda quick, and I like my soup hot... I finished with their fundido con chorizo.... Or Choriqueso where I come from. Very nice queso with a nice helping of chorizo on top. It was served in a "cast iron mini-skillet, which kept it very nice and toasty warm. The chips were awesome! Thin enough to not overwhelm the dip, but strong enough to be the perfect spoon! And a shout out to Amber and Kim who made the entire experience wonderful. Two fabulous ladies full of southern hospitality who helped guide me through the menu and pick the perfect items. read more

I am complaining about the treatment of their workers. They recently let a worker go to give one of the manager's daughters a job. This employee went to the DR. and came back with a DR excuse, then they started telling her "they didn't think she wanted to be their", even thought she had not been absent. They did not tell her she had been let go.She noticed she wasn't on the schedule.They told her because she had a written request, for a day around Christmas she didn't want to be their? No reason to let someone go. What a sorry way to treat people. I have since found out another worker was beginning to be harassed the some way and she quit read more

Nice place to eat and drink. Just a short walk from my hotel, I stopped in for a late night snack along with a few beers. I sat at the bar with bartenders that were attentive. The choices of beers was good with several local choices. After reviewing the menu, I went with the crazy octopus. It was ok, great flavor, but not quite as tender as advertised. I would return. read more

Service was awesome- pleasant with a sense of humor. Food was ample and tasty. Cocktail rocked. Highly recommend.

Excellent appetizer and tapas restaurant. Menu is Southern with a fresh twist. Fresh fish was salmon, grilled. I had the blackened shrimp over ramen noodles and dashi broth- broth was really salty and noodles tasted like top ramen instead of homemade. Server was great, she was really knowledgeable about menu and specials. Great ambiance. read more

I had very high expectations for this place going in given both the ambience and somewhat sophisticated menu for the area. I went for brunch and got the guac and salsa as an appetizer. I was not impressed. The guac was extremely thin and didn't have much flavor. For the main entree I ordered the Banh mi and it was incredible. All the flavors worked well together and it was both crispy and soft. Because of the sandwhich I am going to try this place again, but for dinner! I would recommend it as a third choice lunch spot in Tupelo! read more

Unfortunately, I had a very bizarre and pretty uncomfortable experience eating lunch here today. My daughter and I came in and things started off nicely. I have their rotating old-fashioned and my daughter enjoyed a scoop of vanilla ice cream since she wasn't particularly hungry. I ordered the pork bao buns and the deviled eggs. The pork buns were really tasty and the pork belly was nicely crisp but still soft in the middle. I also like the pickles that came with it. Deviled eggs on the other hand, were not great. The egg whites were super overcooked, very rubbery and it made me think they were possibly just using pre-cooked hard boiled eggs like you can buy at the grocery store. Texturally, it just really wasn't enjoyable between the tough whites and a sort of soupy filling. They were topped with thick, unseasoned pieces of raw jalapeño, and Sriracha, which kind of messed with the flavors and made the eggs hard to enjoy. The server noticed I wasn't really touching them and came over to inquire, I let her know that I just didn't think they were very good and didn't want them. I let her know I'd be happy to pay for them or if she decided to take them off the bill, I'd be happy to tip her extra to make up for it. Either way was fine with me. Now here comes the uncomfortable part. After taking them back, another employee came over, clearly, some sort of manager, and with her arms folded and glaring at me, standing at my table, she asked pretty loudly "what was wrong with the deviled eggs?" - I replied with the same issues that I shared with the server. She then pretty aggressively asked "did you read the menu before you ordered them"? I was frankly, a little taken a back, and asked her why she was asking me that question. Of course I read the menu before ordering my food. She was very rudely implying that if I had taken the time to read the menu and its ingredients, I would have known I wouldn't like the deviled eggs. I told her I didn't like the way she was talking to me and I didn't understand why we were having to have this conversation, considering I had already offered to pay for them. She then repeated herself even more loudly "I'd like to know if you read the menu before you placed your order". At that point, I told her we were done speaking and I wasn't going to continue this weird confrontation with her. We got the check, of course the deviled eggs were still on them, I paid the bill and tipped the waitress 20% since she did nothing wrong and really everyone else at the restaurant was very nice from the hostess to another manager that was helping run drinks. But talk about an uncomfortable experience! I rarely ever want to insist something be taken off a bill but if you're going come over and ask me how the food is, and something on the table is really not very good, I'm at least going to be honest with you. Most restaurants take this criticism to heart and apologize, or at least in general are polite about it. I have no idea if she was having a bad day or if she is somehow heavily involved in the deviled egg cooking process back in the kitchen or what - but it was an experience I've thankfully never had before and hopefully we'll never have again. I was there to check out the location because I was considering having a small birthday party there on Monday for some family in town, but obviously I'll be doing that elsewhere after this experience. It's really unfortunate since everyone else there seemed so sweet, but considering the price of this food and all the great options in Tupelo, I can easily take my money elsewhere. read more

The ambience was really nice, and probably the highlight for us. The food was mixed. Humus was different, but really good. Wife got Simple Fish Grouper. It was super salty and pretty "fishy" definitely wouldn't re-order. The potatoes and salad that came with were good. Burger was good but way too salty as well. Going to have "regerts" later. Bread pudding had a good flavor but was pretty heavily cooked. I won't say burnt, but definitely too crunchy for us. Overall probably won't repeat the establishment. read more

Great server. Great ambiance. Nice cocktails and appetizers. Unfortunately both my husbands and my entree were so salty we couldn't finish our meals. . He got a burger and I got tacos with the beef. Maybe other entrees are ok. I would give it another try possibly cause it was a nice place and the service was good. The server consulted mgr and made it right but we really hate having to complain about a meal. Sorry about that. read more

Jobos sits in the first floor of Hotel Tupelo on adorable Main st. They call themselves a surf and turf restaurant but it's mostly shrimp, beef and chicken. The hotel restaurant vibe is chill, kind of beachy, I think there's a Puerto Rico theme. They offer a pretty vast bar menu with craft cocktails and Mocktails. I had the shrimp and grits, they were really good, a little spicy, but great flavor. My husband had the meat stack with egg, he thought it could use more flavor. Our server was great, the service was just a little slow. The place was pretty packed on a Friday night. On either side of us sat locals so it must be a pretty good place for drinks, food, and meetups. read more

It's a restaurant that thinks it wants to be Puerto Rican, but then tries to pull off southern/asian/latin fusion by putting sofrito and aji on everything. Who in PR is serving ginger noodles? The ginger noodles are cheap dried ramen noodles in a salty broth topped with some weird aji sauce, pork belly chunks and a few shrimp. All of our food was served cold to warm. It's overpriced cheap ingredients thrown together in an attempt to appease anyone's palate, but fails on all accounts. We canceled dessert and got out of there. To their credit they dropped the noodles after we complained. read more

Had the breakfast sandwich. The toast was burnt along with the fresh. The bacon on the sandwich was freezer burnt as well! Terrible food!​

Bartender with a bun is bad. Overcharges - $14 for a whiskey coke in Tupelo? Get real! Only reason I was ordering that is because they would not make me an old fashioned because "there is too many people here." Too busy to make a drink from your drink menu? Really? Literally boggles my mind to think about. Aside from that, the people working clearly didn't want anyone in there. Bad attitudes and bad service. Save your money!! They charge an arm and a leg for their subpar drinks. Edit: also served the $14, watered down drink in a plastic cup. read more

Excellent restaurant I had breakfast and it was enjoyable to eat and spend time with wife while staying at the Tupelo Inn

We've been here for multiple times for evenings out, birthdays, and other events with all positive experiences. The food is good and interesting for what Tupelo has to offer. The drinks are decent with the latest improvement being the glassware that was recently plastic. While the hosts can often be lackluster, the servers often go above and beyond. It's a cute spot with a unique interior. Definitely recommend. read more

The food was good but self service is more like a McDonalds, not what you want in a nice restaurant. I'm sure it's a one time experience for people wanting real service to go along with real restaurant food. Ambiance also more like McDonalds.

I stayed at the Hotel Tupelo and had dinner here one evening. The place was not too busy and I was able to get a lovely table outside on the patio so I could people watch. There was a great choice of beer and I had a tasty crab cake sandwich. All in all a relaxing evening and I would definitely dine here again. This restaurant does have breakfast (for a fee) for folks who stay at the hotel, but I did not participate in that. When I looked around in the AM it was very dead and no visible staff, but a pump coffee bar for $3+ a cup. read more
