    Hamburger
    Renee Y.

    Best burgers around! Their menu prices are also great. If you are getting lunch here, you have to order before 11:30 or else it will take a while for your order. But, that just means business is good and that is a reflection of their fantastic food. I love the outdoors seating area when the windows are open

    Cheeseburger and butter fries
    Christi S.

    Everything about this place was great! The food was delicious - they even bake their own buns fresh every day, and make all sauces in house. Their butter fries are tossed in a butter sauce with garlic and shallots, and are amazing. And every single person who works here was super friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. We would highly recommend eating at this gem anytime you're in Jackson. The whole area is fun to walk around and shop at too.

    Side salads
    Courtney M.

    Good food, great location, reasonable prices. Roosters has a lot of good options whether you're in the mood for a burger, a salad, or some good down home cooking. They have good portions so you'll get your money's worth. I enjoyed the red beans and rice. I liked the touch of jalapeños. The roll was so super soft. House salad was good too. Good service. Parking along the side of the building, the garage, or the lot across the street,

    Chicken tenders

    This was the best fried chicken I've ever had!!! Full of flavor!!! This has definitely unlocked a core food memory for me!!! And yes, the creole tomato gravy is awesome and so are the cheese grits!!!

    Roosters is always the best around Jackson. Fast service, easy seating, and delicious food. Sit by the windows the people watch fondren. We ordered the burger and fried chicken salad. Something about this fried chicken is just special. It's so soft and flavorful. And it's huge. Covers almost the whole salad, southern style. The sweet tea was great as well. Love roosters!

    Fried chicken sandwich and curly fries
    Jill T.

    First time in- the cashier who took our order helped us with the menu. "We have no freezer or microwave. Everything is fresh- our bread was baked this morning, our burgers were patted out--" Having read the Yelp reviews, I ordered the chicken tenders with red beans & rice, and onion rings, with a dinner roll. Seriously, when it arrived, it could've been lunch for two! Three large chicken 'tenders' (I would call them breast cutlets), hot and crisp. A bit salty for me, but no matter- tender and juicy. They must marinate and tenderize them. I don't usually prefer white meat as it's often dry. Not the case here! Onion rings were good, Thin, battered, rings. The red beans and rice... meh... ok, but lacking something, perhaps the smokiness of sausage or ham? But maybe they are keeping it vegetarian (I didn't ask.) I liked that the jalapeno slices were right on top so I could easily remove them. My companion had the fried chicken sandwich with curly fries. Enjoyed every bite. Fries were piping hot. The bread was yummy like a fluffy cloud! I had overlooked the Mushroom Swiss Burger on the menu, so I'll have to return to try that. The dining room was spacious and clean, with an open air porch-room on the perimeter. There was plenty of staff, serving and bussing as well as in the kitchen, and they seemed to like working there and being together (unlike some places where the employees look like they'd rather be anywhere else!) Prices were reasonable for the large portions.

    Great food. Reasonable prices and the food was excellent. You are likely going go have a take home box because of the large portion size.

    One of the best restaurants in Jackson MS. I always return to Rooster's when I'm driving through Jackson, MS. It's a quick stop from I-55.

    It just wasn't very good. No other way to describe it. A lot better food around the city than this place.

    Who knew that Jackson, Mississippi is home to some really outstanding and memorable eats! Table 100…read morewas located just a short drive from our hotel, so we decided to have a nice dinner. The restaurant has a formal setting, but with a comfortable and cozy atmosphere. We started with some drinks and a wedge salad. Portions are large but they don't skimp on quality. For mains, I ordered the redfish and it was perfection! The gulf has some delicious seafood and the fish was cooked so perfectly tender to perfection!! Delicious dining experience!

    Overall 4.25 Stars…read more Buying a new sleep number mattress and base can get your appetite going. After a successful purchase and a hemorrhaging from my credit card, we opted to celebrate the occasion with a meal. And Lo and behold Table 100 was just across the street from where we were. Ambiance 4 Stars - as you walk into the establishment, you are transported back where the warm wood interior, cozy white table cloth tables or booths, high end bar drinks, and classy servers in their white or black attire are waiting to serve you. There plenty of tables and booths to seat a plentiful of patrons. And if you need a little bit more private, you can request a private room depending how many are in the party. 4.5 Stars - Service: our server, Andrew was wonderful, professional and has a great sense of humor. We bantered throughout our dinner but the conversation never crossed over to make anyone uncomfortable. He was observant of our needs and when to bring our next course. Our glasses stayed full with our beverage. 4.25 Stars - Food We ordered from the dinner menu instead of lunch due to our timing at 3:00. Let's just call it "Linner". Haha. 4 Stars - Grilled Swordfish- My wife ordered the dish and came with a decent size grilled swordfish fish, sauté spinach, creamed mash potatoes, and a beurre blanc sauce (lemon, butter and dry white wine). The swordfish was thick and moist; not dry at all. The beurre blanc balanced the bland spinach and the seasoned swordfish. The creamed potatoes were creamy, buttery's and not too salty. 3.75 Stars - Pan seared Redfish with cube fried potatoes, sauté green beans, beurre blanc sauce and top w a Chilean tomato salsa. The redfish was moist and tasty but I wish it had a little bit seared on it for a crunchy factor. The cubed potatoes were good but nothing to write about. The fresh sauté green beans could have a bit more garlic butter. 3.5 Stars Side dish: Deep Fried Brussel Sprouts. Hot, steamy and fresh. Has a slight crunch on the exterior leaves and was seasoned w a sprinkle of salt. 3.75 Dessert: Crème Brûlée and coffee. The crème brûlée crust was crunchy and the vanilla egg custard was good and smooth. It would have been better was a scoop of fresh whipped cream to go with the fresh fruit and crunchy layer. 5 Stars - French pressed Italian coffee. The coffee was a highlight of the dessert. It was hot, fresh, and strong. Just like an Italian coffee should be. It was between an espresso and caffe' Americano. Our, server, Andrew did a wonderful job on the coffee! I definitely recommend this place and we will be back. Don't forget to ask for Andrew, if he is available.
