Always consistently solid! I just had some take out.... buffalo mac n chz and it was AWESOME! Rafferty's has been kicking butt in Jackson for nearly 30 years and has NEVER disappointed. read more

Jackson has a serious lack of non chain restaurants that are any good so when we wanted to go out for steaks we decided on Raffertys. We were not disappointed. We had a lovely dinner here Saturday night. The service was stellar from start to finish and the food was excellent. My sons has the rib eye steals and said they were fantastic. My daughter and I had the salmon that was seasoned and cooked perfectly. My husband loves their blt and though it was not on the menu, they made it perfectly for him. A great place to eat in Jackson! read more

The female working take out is so rude. She was rude over the phone when I placed the order. When I arrived for pick up she was just as rude and when I told her soup was missing from order she never once apologized. She never said thanks for the tip, which was generous. She frequently works take out bc I have had several interactions with her. She has been rude other times but today was over the top. The food was good, no complaints there. She had long dirty blonde hair, wears it in a slicked back ponytail. Management please find another area for her to work. She is clearly miserable. read more

Nice atmosphere, great ribs and good service, pity that patio when I went (Sunday) was closed... read more

Rafferty's Restaurant & Bar - Bars Near Me - Jackson, Tennessee

Amazing baked potato soup. Entre was a sirloin steak, garlic mashed potatoes, and a side salad. They showed a lot of love to that side salad! Garlic mashed potatoes were great, sirloin okay. Overall though, really good meal! Staff is great!! read more

The server was a sweetheart! he was always checking up to see if we needed anything. I got the buffalo tenders and they were Delicious it was so good and yummy. They were never in a hurry even at closing time (We got there late after coming from Opryland about 9:00ish) they never rushed us and never were bothered that we asked so much it was a place I would go to all the time foods good and affordable and the service is great! We had a party of 10 and seating was perfect, Definitley come for the tenders they are some of the best!! read more

We are in town for a wedding and thought we would try a local restaurant. Rafferty did not disappoint. Good atmosphere, salads were on point, waiter (Kyle) was very attentive. It was busy but you wouldn't know it by the service Kyle provided. Food was tasty and made the way we wanted- big enough portions to take some home. No room for dessert even tho we wanted to try one. read more

Passing through on the Interstate looking for a good place to eat. Chose this place. Our server, Russ, was GREAT! He Recommended food, took care of us and even took some off our bill when our food was messed up. Negatives - Cesar salad tasted like fish. When we couldn't eat it we were told the dressing has anchovies in it. Would have been nice to know. *Steak was supposed to come with Cajun butter, but I got a Cajun seasoned steak with bleu cheese butter, which made for a strange flavor combo, but the steak was very tender and cooked perfectly. Positives- our server was extremely nice, they took care of our ticket without us asking them to, nor did we complain. We were very nice about the mistakes since we are in the restaurant business ourselves. read more

Imagine a perfect marriage between Outback Steakhouse and country Christmas cabin. Decent food at a reasonable price and lots of TV screens to keep sports fans occupied = family restaurant done right. I like that it's not a part of global chain. read more

had the prime rib,sweet potato and a house salad. all were prepared very well and as ordered. I sat at the bar. they dont have much of a beer selection. but service was friendly and prices didnt seem too bad. would come again. read more

Love the food. It's always great. However, the service definitely is lacking. It didn't used to be that way. However, the last couple of times we have visited (slow), and almost every time we use the to-go service (order is wrong), there are problems read more

The atmosphere was nice, our server was great! But I have to be honest the food was terrible! It was actually the worst steaks my husband and I have ever had. And the garlic mashed potatoes had no seasoning and were dry. I hate giving negative reviews but if I said anything different I would be lying. read more

Seriously do yourself a favor if you're in the area and go here! Service was great, fastest we've ever gotten our food ANYWHERE and everything was great..salads, baked potato, ribeye with blue cheese butter, croissants..EVERYTHING! Hope we pass through again to stop by! read more

After arriving in Jackson hungry and tired, and wanting a good meal, we decided to try Rafferty's. Best decision we have made so far on this trip. Food was fabulous, service was fabulous. We saw some reviews and debated about going here but so very glad we did. It has been the best meal we have had by far since arriving in Tennessee. Everything was delicious, and perfectly cooked. Thank you Melissa for your friendly service. We can only hope we have another meal like this on our vacation. Don't hesitate to go there. read more

This place is heaven.....can't give them enough praise. They've been around for years and have never degraded over time like so many other restaurants in this town have that opened after them. They hold their food and staff to a higher standard and it shows. Great relaxed atmosphere. Try the back yard bbq burger. They do a good ribeye too read more

Average food, below average service, $ was about right for the quality of the food. Definitely not a place to go if you're looking to eat healthy. We were in and out in about 30 minutes. read more

Was my absolute favorite college date spot. Pre-middle age, I could eat an entire platter of the honey buttered croissants. Food has always been great, service has always been good. Arguably the best spot for a dinner out in Jackson. read more

Highly recommend this restaurant. Steaks, chicken and sandwiches are all good. One of the best Club Sandwiches anywhere.

Amazing food and fantastic service. Every single employee was at our service! Not to mention our food came out at record time! Love eating here! read more

I've been to a few other Rafferty's before. This one is definitely the worst. It smells like stinky feet in the bar area. I always look forward to the croissant that comes with a salad. This one was hard and stale. read more

Chicken finger salad with house dressing it so die for!!!!! I am sorry to see they now charge for extra dressings, this just makes the restaurant look cheap to me. But I do love that salad!!!! They have the best house dressing in the world! Their chicken salad and croissants are pretty darn good as well. My only complain would be sometimes they tend to have more flies than I like to see and the AC seems to be out a lot!! read more

First time here. Sat at bar, Josh suggested Long Island Ice Tea. Great start. Ribeye was med rare perfect. House salad i almost finished. Spud was perfect. Next time I'll take a before pic. Great dinner. Try it. Ok, it was great. read more

See all

Before I begin let me say that this is not a general review of Rafferty's as a restaurant but of this particular visit. The hostess, waiter, and food runners couldn't have been nicer. The food, great as usual arrived quickly and prepared as ordered. Here's my beef though/ We were seated in what I guess would be called the main dining room. Facing us on one wall were 6 large screen TV's 3 of the TV's were showing a pre-season NBA game (not even the local team), The other 3 TV's were showing Shark Tank, The O'Reilly Factor and the MLB Network showing a retrospective on past World Series. We asked our waiter if he could change one of the TV's to game one of the World Series between the Cubs and the Indians/ He said he'd ask someone to do it for us. He came back a few minutes later and told us that the boss said he couldn't change one of the TV's to the game because it was already on 2 other TV's in the building. One of them was in the bar which we couldn't see from our table and the other was behind me over my left shoulder that even if I had been facing the other way, wouldn't have been able to see very well because of the angle. We weren't asking that they turn off all three screens showing a meaningless preseason basketball game. Just one would have sufficed. The sound was turned off so I don't even know why Shark Tank or O'Reilly were even on. Not being able to watch a few innings of a baseball game won't prevent us from going back in the future but it did stop us from ordering desert and maybe a couple of after dinner cocktails. I guess they made up for it though. I'm sure the fans of the other shows they had on stuck around and spent more money. read more

Went on a Tuesday night. Service was prompt and efficient. Food was good and tasty.

I have been dinning at this place for years and never once bad service or food. Has to be my favorite restaurant in Jackson!

The marinated ribeye was exceptionally flavored! Took the recommendation from other online reviews and was very pleased. Generous portion! Enjoyed the broccoli and house salad. read more

This restaurant has received a 5-star review based upon my experiences here in comparison to what else is available in the town of Jackson. We ate here all weekend when we were in town to watch a baseball championship series. This establishment had both great food and atmosphere. Just about everything we had was good. I would recommend starting with one of the many good appetizers. We enjoyed the chips with cheese dip, which was made with a different type of white cheese that had a distinctive yet delectable flavor. The other appetizers we enjoyed included the rolls with honey, that will remind you of the rolls your grandma made, and the loaded nachos. As for the entrees, there wasn't much to frown upon. The mahi mahi and salmon were both good, whether you get it blackened with Cajun seasoning or with the normal seasoning. However, the Cajun seasoning may be a bit much if you don't like spicy foods and I would have preferred a bit more of the normal seasoning. The ribs fell off the bone and both the pork chops and rib eye steak were tender and cooked to perfection. The portions are large and filling. The staff was very friendly and expedient. They even stayed open late to accommodate our group one night when the games ran late. The prices are comparable to commonplace chain restaurants, and although this ended up being a smaller chain restaurant, the food was far superior to that of the larger chains. My one word of caution would be to not get the coleslaw. It was the worst coleslaw we've ever tasted. That being said, the waiter was quick to replace it with a substitute so my meal was still complete and filling. I would highly recommend giving this establishment a try if you are in the Jackson area. read more
