Jones though, you're not going somewhere where you're trying to be fancy. You just wanna dance to some blues and have a damn good time. And you WILL. F. Jones is THE late night spot in Jackson. I'm not even entirely sure what time this place opens. I think it's 10 or 11? I know if you get there before midnight most nights, you can avoid paying cover. BUT, I don't think I've ever showed up before midnight. This place pops off past midnight. This is where everyone heads once the other bars are closing, so everyone has usually already had a couple drinks. (PS, take an UBER! Do not drink and drive!) There is always live music-- typically some very Mississippi blues act. Everyone is dancing and having such a good time on the dance floor. The bar is dark, smoky, and crowded. It's VERY Mississippi. Outside, they are usually smoking some hot dogs, burgers, BBQ. It's cheap and delicious, and usually JUST what you need at that time of the night. The drinks are cheap. Cover to get in is usually $10, and you can get beers as cheap as $2 or $3 usually. F. Jones is definitely not an EVERY night type of thing. I mean, it's a LATE night. But every now and then, it's a really good time and definitely worth your while. Go get your dance on, y'all.

We started eating here probably 30 years ago when it was the OG. Mike always got the crawfish enchiladas and I got the habanero cream sauce pasta with grilled shrimp. He got fried shrimp tonight. The shrimp were jumbo and fried perfect. The "depot" fries are frozen crinkle cut. He subbed the Mac and cheese for the okra. It's more of a less sauce old fashioned Mac and cheese. I got my old habanero cream sauce pasta. It was served in the tiniest of bowls but the amount of food was good. Why not serve it in a normal sized dish? I would rather have the 4 jumbo shrimp they used to serve back in the day rather than the smallish medium shrimp. The sauce was thicker than I prefer but flavor was decent. I'll try something different next time. The cocktails were delicious. Again, the service and speed of things was incredible for a party of 17. My biggest negative was the music is ridiculously loud. Serving food to 17 people with that music was diabolical and we could not even visit. The group was great but the volume needs to be turned down. Def recommend for a large group but be prepared for music that is concert volume.

The tomato sauce was spicy, the pita bread underneath slightly crunchy. Two perfectly over easy eggs on top was a party in my mouth. My friend ordered a side of millionaire bacon. It was not very crispy. She said the regular bacon was more crispy and flavorful. I ordered the basic scrambled eggs, cheesy grits and andouille sausage platter. It was yummy and filling. The prices are reasonable. They also serve coffee, teas, sodas and boozy cocktails. Since it was brunch we ordered mimosas. There was a mix up and the server forgot to put in the appetizer, but Ana and the manager were extremely apologetic and made up for it. They have live music but sadly not on the day we were there. Parking can be a bit of a challenge, since the surface lot is shared between 3 restaurants. The company also owns and runs the restaurant next door called the Walk-in. It's super cute and open late night. Zee, the bartender made us a couple of Hugo spritz's- which were perfect. When in Jackson, this is a definite stop. They also serve po boys and other yummy sounding entrees. Reservations are recommended.

The USS Cairo Gunboat & Museum in Vicksburg National Military Park presents a rare glimpse into…read moreCivil War naval history through its preservation of one of the first ironclad warships in U.S. naval history. The Cairo was sunk in 1862 in the Yazoo River and lay forgotten until it was raised in 1964, revealing a time capsule of life aboard a Union gunboat. The restored vessel is a formidable testament to 19th-century engineering & military strategy. Inside the museum we saw an array of artifacts recovered from the Cairo displayed, including personal items of the crew, naval armaments & the ship's massive steam engines. Exhibits detail the Cairo's role in the river campaigns of the Civil War, its sinking by an electrically detonated mine, and the incredible salvage operation. This museum educates about the technical and military aspects of the era and tells a compelling story of innovation, warfare, and preservation.

American history can sometimes be thought of as dull, but I think the people who believe that lack the ability to imagine a time different than they live in. What the shipwrights had to do to create this vessel, and then consider the soldiers that served on it and the accommodations they put up with to defend our country this is just incredible. Very few today could've dealt with this type of environment. Take a few moments and close your eyes and imagine the life of a soldier on an iron side boat. This exhibit is well laid out, but it is what you make of it. Well worth the experience.
