I would give Primos, as a whole, 4 stars. The food is great. The vibe is pretty good. The bathrooms are nice. But I can't because of just one thing. Unfortunately, the bakery counter help makes me want to run out of there and never come back. Every time I've enjoyed my delicious meal, I wanted one of their amazing cookies or petit fours. In my mind, a bakery worker is jolly and nice. Why wouldn't they be, handling all that decadence in their hands? Well, the bakery workers at Primos act like they'd rather be shot in the face than deal with the public. They roll their eyes, don't crack a smile, and do not answer questions regarding their products. They get your stuff, ring you up, and walk off. It makes me sad. If I could go in there and eat without being tempted to get something from the bakery, I would. But I can't and every time I go in there I vow it'll be my last. I guess I could get someone else to go in and get me something from the bakery, if they could deal with such poor customer service. But it'll probably make them sad too. Hopefully one day they'll have people that actually act like they at least like life and aren't completely miserable working there. I'm holding out hope for that one. read more

Fried chicken perfection achieved! The blue specials here are consistent and usually delicious! The service is great, although having to order at a counter and juggle your own drinks seems to be difficult for some of their customers. Wine would be a welcome addition. End your meal with two of the always fresh and tasty fudge squares! read more

This is my mother's favorite place to eat, the food is always good and consistent, and the prices are great!

Really nice breakfast experience this morning. Very good eggs. Delicate cheese grits. Everestesque biscuits. A really great place to sit, relax, and eat a wonderful breakfast. Not the most adventurous menu, nut the execution is perfect. read more

Great food and a good vibe. My meal was excellent and the blue plate specials are a great lunch deal. Would recommend.

Guys, my food was so delicious! I was dining with my mom so I couldnt say it was almost as good as her home cooking. :) Everyone was so nice and very timely during the lunch rush. The team was friendly and happy to help. Wonderful experience! I will be back. read more

Whenever I have doctors' appointments out Lakeland Drive, I treat myself to either breakfast or lunch at Primos. Besides the fabulous food, the whole Primos experience brings back dear memories of my grandmother taking me to the old Primos on State Street ions ago. If you're the mood for good, ole Southern fare that is as reliable as the Mississippi River emptying into the Gulf, this is the go-to place. I only wish they still served Trout Almondine like "back in the day." read more

One of my family's favorite places to eat in Jackson. Pancakes, pancakes, pancakes!! So good. And, the catfish tacos are awesome!! Try their caramel cake and cheese straws for your next gathering!! Your guests will love you forever. read more

I had visited Primos in Ridgeland several times with great results. I recently had lunch at the Flowood location and was very disappointed. I ordered a reuben with onion rings and my partner ordered a salad that the menu said came with a vinaigrette dressing. My reuben was delivered with a cup of gumbo and my partner's salad came with ranch dressing. We had wondered why the total was so high when we ordered but our receipt did not show what was ordered. I complained and they apologized and refunded the difference. Errors were made by cashier taking order, not the kitchen. Disappointing. read more

This is a good low cost option... the food is pretty good. The onion rings are great. The burger is a typical frozen patty. Everything (aside from the onion rings) is prepackaged tasting but still good for the price. read more

5 star review for the breakfast. I think everyone would agree that Primos breakfast is not paralleled anywhere in Jackson. Love this place.

We came for the cheesy grits -- and we were NOT disappointed. Fluffy, delicious, creamy perfection. Yum.

The food isn't great. But, it's quality and that makes up for any shortcomings. If you're looking for a good bite to eat in the area, this place is place a must check out. I docked it one star for the pitiful excuse for yogurt. We ordered the yogurt and granola and received a plastic yoplait and a bowl of granola. Which is fine in itself and even great for togo orders. But, I feel they could easily dress it up in a parfait glass and save money by buying yogurt in bulk or make it themselves. read more

I've had the breakfast here a couple of times. They have really good creamy grits. My favorite item to get here is the strawberry cake. It really is super duper good! I've never eaten inside though. I've always gotten the food to go. Get the strawberry cake. it's so good!! read more

Came in for lunch while in town for work. It has a super cute interior, classic diner. The lady who took our order at the counter was very friendly. The restaurant was packed, but the staff kept an upbeat happy attitude. I ordered the crab cake salad. I was happily impressed. It looks like a simple mix of greens, but the dressing was amazing and complimented the crab cakes well. My bf ordered a shrimp po boy with sweet potato fries. He said it was yummy! Great diner experience! read more

Crab cake salad was tasty, but the cakes were a bit cold and the wait was long. Gumbo was good. Service was friendly.

Excellent lunch, had the creole seafood salad with a slice of the best ever lemon icebox pie. I need to come here for lunch more often!

My family and I stopped here while passing through Jackson. I thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Wonderful atmosphere, good food, reasonable prices, and friendly service. read more

Very nice place to go to when you're hungry for lunch. The blue plate special that they have is one of my favorite on the menu. They also have a variety of desserts to choose from but I am most fond of the chocolate chip cookies. Also, I'm never disappointed when it comes to their friendly service and their great atmosphere. I will be back soon read more

Delicious, southern food. The breakfast is great, but I also really enjoy their plate lunches. Beware that it is almost always crowded, but the service is good. They'll get you in and out quickly! read more

We should have turned around and walked back out immediately after entering. Nothing looked good about this place. Unfortunately we didn't listen to that little voice. I was tired and hungry. We waited too long for what was their blue plate special. The food looked and tasted horrible. We were unable to eat anything. Yuck! read more

My family loves Primos! Their breakfast is truly the best around! I love their club sandwiches or Blue Plate specials, and the bakery is the best! Caramel Cake and Red Velvet are among my favorites, but my sister gets a sugar cookie every time we drive by! She says they are the best she has ever had! A family favorite for my whole life! read more

Had a late breakfast but the place was packed . The breakfast was very good. Service was quick and efficient. Only complaint I had was the biscuit was dried out. Everything else was good. I usually go at supper or lunch time where I get the crab cakes and salad-- none better. read more

Blueberry pancakes were perfect! Plenty of hot coffee and the best service in Jackson.

I loved the food for the price. The staff and atmosphere were great. Convenient to Lakeland drive.

I love this place. The food is delicious and comes out fast, even when there's a lot of customers. I'd reccomend it to anyone!

This is one of our choice spots to go after running 5Ks around town. Quick, friendly service. The cheese grits can't be beat and the coffee is always flowing. Great job! read more

Excellent food, several daily specials to choose from. Daily blue plate specials. If you choose you can always order from the menu. Service is always excellent. Easy in and out, lunch crowd is always welcome. The desserts are great, you must try their famous caramel cake. read more

I have been getting the gingerbread men at Primos Restaurant for the past 53 years. The cafe is good, but you must definitely check out the bakery. The bakery has a wide selection of other delectibles, so if the gingerbread men are sold out (which can be a problem if your timing is off), there are other choices like lemon squares, pecan cookies and cakes, but none are quite as special as the gingerbread men. The gingerbread men have been consistently special for the past 53 years -- a few raisins for eyes, mouth and buttons and the perfect thickness of the head and body so that the cookie is not crisp but not overly soft and crumbly. The unfortunate thing about Primos is that it's not always open when I'm passing through on my four-hour trek from Ponchatoula, LA, to Noxapater, MS. Primos is not open on Sundays. Primos has good food, good service and clean restrooms. Primos has free wi-fi too! However, if they are out of gingerbread men at the time, I might just head on down Hwy. 25. For me, it's all about the gingerbread men. read more

Great food! However, menu pricing is not in line with the cash register... simple breakfast order with 2 extra eggs rings up as $16? When asked, cashier has no answer other than "he's got to fix this". Front line is not in sync with management. read more

My experience wasn't so great at Primo's. I went there for breakfast and didn't care for the salty bacon and flour tasting biscuits. The staff was nice....that's about it. read more

Great home cooking and desserts. Chicken and dumplings were delicious, Mac and cheese was heavenly and the petit fours melt in your mouth!! Love!! read more

In Jackson for 24 hour looking for a good place to eat. Stumbled upon this place on the way back to the airport. Bills itself as southern food for city folk. There is definitely a wide choice of "southern" food. I had grilled shrimp which were tasty but a little salty. The collards were also good but a little salty. The cole slaw was vinegar based and quite good and the sweet tea made with Splenda was also good. Overall decent but a bit heavy on the salt for my taste read more

Stopped in tonight at Primo's on a recommendation. I had the Blue Plate Special which consisted of Chicken and Dumplings, Fried Broccoli, and Mac and Cheese. Totally enjoyed it. No one is ever going to beat grandmas chicken and dumplings, but this wasn't that far behind. Got the chocolate whopper cookie for desert and was also very good and fresh (extremely rich so id advise you only eat one!). I will definitely be back!!! read more

Had an incredibly pleasant lunch here today. Plate lunch was awesome, came out very fast, and service was prompt and very friendly even though they were slammed during the lunch rush. Atmosphere just seemed like everyone was having a good time. Will be back! read more
