A well hidden pub of good southern food! The fried zucchini was delicious, the chicken fried steak was a bit different but still absolutely delicious. The gravy was excellent. We also definitely recommend getting the corn bread. It's a bit dry but if they added button on the side? It would be perfect. We'll be coming back for sure! read more

food was really good! allen and stacy were awesome! good spot to stop for some burgers, sandwiches and chicken! thank you!

Had the occasion to visit Scrooge's again. Again it was delicious, I had a blue plate special. I look forward to visiting the area just to pop in for a meal. read more

A group of 12 of us were passing through Ridgeland on our way to New Orleans. I called ahead and asked if they could accommodate our group. We arrived 15 minutes later and we were greeted by someone that seemed to be either the owner or a manager. He welcomed us and thanked us for coming. He showed us to a table for 12 that was nicely arranged. Devon was our waiter for the evening. He was very nice and very witty. He answered our many questions and offered his favorites as suggestions. The food was excellent. I didn't ask everyone in our group, but everyone I did ask was completely happy with the food they had and the experience. You should give this place a try. read more

Found this hidden gem and we decided to give it a shot tonight. Boy! I'm so glad we did! The gumbo is hearty and delicious. The sausage and cheese plate is delicious. The fried green tomatoes are delicious. The cucumber and onion salad sounds iffy but it was delicious as well! Definitely a nice place to try. read more

Scrooges - American Near Me - Jackson, Mississippi

See all

Not aesthetically pleasing outside, but the food is AMAZING!!! They delivered to the car and handled payment in a timely manner. I'll definitely be going back. read more

Driving through on way home to Chicago, and we stopped by to have a Sunday lunch. I found this place through Yelp. I was so happy I did! We sat outside, the waitress was amazing, and the food was awesome!!! Be sure to stop by here, its great!!! read more

Great little hidden jem... looks closed from the main road, but very much alive and open around back. Food was wonderful and all homemade. Service was top-notch as well....Joel made us feel right at home! Definitely a must visit place for some home cookin!! read more

In town Monday night for business, found this place on yelp. Ordered the grilled shrimp salad and iced tea. The meal was excellent, the service was great. I highly recommend the spot if you're in the area. read more

I stopped in at Scrooge's while passing through Jackson on my way to St. Louis. I was really looking for good fried chicken. I settled for the boneless chicken breast that came with three sides and a bread option. I opted for the smashed potatoes and gravy, cabbage and squash casserole and cheese biscuit. The fried chicken was good but most of the crust fell off before I could eat it. The potatoes and gravy, squash casserole and cheese biscuit were very good. The cabbage was bland. The plate was too small for the amount of food. The service was prompt and friendly. The place was kind of warn down and could use a serious makeover. Seat cushions were cracked with exposed stuffing. I probably will not visit again. read more

Food is outstanding waitstaff and bartenders super professional I would recommend this to any of my best friends

Complete garbage. Servers were rude and the food took an hour to come out. When it finally did, it was cut-rate "southern" food that wouldn't even pass in a school cafeteria. Got the red beans and rice and was surprised at the complete and utter lack of flavor. Wife got the angel hair pasta with chicken, chicken was undercooked and sauce was lackluster. In a city like Jackson with so many good options, don't make the mistake of wasting your money here. read more

I come weekly. Friday it is the fried catfish strips with turnip greens and okra and stewed tomatoes. Great southern fare.

This was one of the most delightful lunches on the road my family has ever had. Shannon, our server, was the sweetest! She was so attentive and personable. The food was was equally wonderful. I had the club which was delicious. My daughter ordered the grilled shrimp and cranberry salad and loved both. My son is a Buffalo wing connoisseur and really enjoyed his wings. My husband had the Chicken Dickens sandwich and said it was superb. We all had French fries and agreed that they were very yummy. It was a little difficult to find even with the GPS since you can't see it from the main road, but drive around the parking lot. It's worth it. Finally, do not let the older and dark physical appearance influence you to turn away. It is very clean and the delicious food and great service make this a 5 star restaurant! read more

This place is great. Very consistent lunch. Good specials and variety. Some of the best comeback dressing in the state. The hushpuppies are amazing and service is always good. I recommend Scrooge's. read more

I have traveled all over the last 20 years as a salesman and this is the best diamond I have found. The building is not much to look at but the service and the food is off the charts. It all starts with a friendly welcome from Chris the bar keep who serves the sprits very liberally and the local regulars that adds color to the room. The first night I had the fried mushroom appetizer and the award winning gumbo. (The trophy is on display) The mushrooms were fried with a light batter without the slightest hint of grease served with a light horseradish sauce. Mmmmm good! The gumbo was really flavorful and it was served with a wonderful slice of cornbread. (Cornbread and gumbo must be a local thing but it was really good) My first experience was so good I decided to go back the next night. Night two I tried the 10 oz ribeye. Wow what can I say.....it was fantastic! Cook just as I asked, seasoned just right and so tender it just melted in your mouth. My only mistake was I did not get the 12 oz! The price was great but the steak was better. I have paid twice as much for steaks not near as tasty and not near as tender. All I can say is if you are in the area don't check this place out...you are missing out! read more

Scrooge's is one of my favorite smaller joints in Jackson. I am never disappointed when I eat at Scrooges

Everything was great. Hamburger, Hamburger Steak, Fried Chicken, Onion Rings, Mashed Potatoes. There wasn't a bad item to even give a minor criticism to. Definitely would come back again. read more

The food is delicious. We had the fried pickles. They were perfect. The meal portions were generous, and delicious. Our waitress was wonderful. read more

I have no problem with the food or service, which is actually pretty good except the side salad was skimpy compared to other places. My issue is that they can't seem to get the checks correct if there's more than one check at a table. This is the third time that I've eaten there that my check for 2 was incorrect. We did have 6 people with 3 checks at the table this time. Nothing on my check was my order. My real order was split in the other checks. The errors were not enough to not make a fuss over though I was overcharged again (about $4-$5). However, the waitress was kind enough to take my check back and correct it to add the mandatory 21.8% tip. Nothing else was changed including an erroneous charge for a drink that I did not have. If this was a one time occurrence, I would not mind as much, but in the last three visits, the checks were wrong. I decided not to bother with it anymore and just go somewhere else. read more

The food was excellent and our waitress was wonderful!! If you're looking for a great place to spend with family or friends this is the place. The grilled shrimp and pasta (Alfredo sauce) with grilled mushrooms and onion is amazing. The brownie and ice cream dessert is just like my nana's. read more

i'm not a "bar" person, so Scrooges has become my evening regular for its laid back pub atmosphere, with sometimes-rowdy but friendly sports rivalries between always-decent folks who are generally old enough to know how to act. Food is great - several notches above typical pub fare. And the owner and staff are cheery and competent. Google "gemütlichkeit" and tell me you don't think of Cheers and its feeling of warmth, friendliness, and good cheer. read more

We were staying at a motel nearby and wanted some simple, non-chain food. Scrooge's seemed to be the only thing near by that would fit the bill. The service was friendly and effective, the food was good and reasonably priced. It was exactly what we were looking for. read more

Local restaurant and bar off the beaten path. A little hard to find but it's worth it. The family (yep they are kid friendly) and I arrived late (like 9:45 pm). Service was excellent... if I could rate service alone it would be 6 stars. They stay open until 11:00. The menu was diverse and the food came out made to order. I had fish with a crayfish sauce on top and it was okay. The turnip greens were flavorful and the grilled new potatoes were great. The bar is separate from the dining area so it was no problem bringing kiddos in. If you come in late, this is a don't miss place. read more

Great place for a blue plate lunch. The daily menu rotates throughout the week, but everything is delicious. The staff is very friendly, and your lunch plate arrives quickly. The price for lunch is very affordable. I eat here often, as it is always a quality meal at a reasonable price. read more

As an out of tower solo for the night I was looking for somewhere for dinner and a little reading. The atmosphere was good but the food was terrible. LOTS of salt & pepper couldn't even help the "chicken angel" swimming in a tasteless white sauce. Oh we'll I know not to return on my next stop over in Jackson... read more

Arrived at Scrooges by chance having pulled off the nearby Interstate. Found the restaurant packed with the local Sunday afternoon dinner crowd. We placed our order as I anticipated slow service, due to a large table of 12 right next to us. Our beverages came all most immediately followed quickly by our catfish dinners. The service was remarkable. No server came anywhere near our table without doing something to make our meal more enjoyable. read more

In addition to their normal menu, at lunch Scrooges offers a Meat and Two vegetable Blue Plate Special. The Daily Specials listed vary with a selection from 4-5 meats, 12+ vegetables! and three breads. My favorite, available every day, is the fried chicken breast (skinless and boneless) it has a crisp, tasty batter covering a large, tender juicy breast; it's also available grilled. The green beans and potato salad are excellent. On Thursday you can get their sweet potato casserole, it's worth a try! On the regular menu their hamburgers, red beans and rice, and fried catfish are quite good. Their pecan cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream is hard to resist. There is a full service bar with a good selection of craft beers available too. read more

great food. great service. good prices. the outside looks a bit rough but the inside is not bad at all. i recommend.

We were passing through Jackson and staying at a nearby hotel. Found Scrooge's on Yelp as we like to try local places vs. the chain restaurants. Joel, our server, was awesome. He was very busy but very fast and attentive to all of his tables. He had great knowledge of the menu. We had chicken fried steak and the fish and chip special. Both were great but the service was outstanding. read more

We love it. Our favorites are the red beans and rice, blue plate, and fried chicken salad. Great wings too. Friendly staff, great service, and great food. It's one of our local favorites! read more

What a nice surprise! I had NO idea this restaurant was right there. The people are so nice and the food was good, hot and SO comfortable and yummy! We will definitely be back. read more

Scrooge's is my home-away-from-home. We eat there several times per week. Everyone there knows us. Good food, casual atmosphere. It's a great place to hang out, have a nearly home-cooked meal, have a drink, or watch a ball game, especially Saints games. The red beans and rice is AWESOME, as well as the marinated pork chops, marinated pork tenderloin medallions, fillet mignon, baked chicken, beef brisket, all served with a nice selection of vegetables. Blue plates vary by day, but they have a good regular menu, too, including the red beans and rice. Desserts are good, too. read more

No complaints here. They've always been very friendly and open to serve. Would definitely go there for a game night or casual dinner.

Love their red beans and rice with sausages! Their lunch prices are reasonable! Definitely recommended this place if you like homemade meals. Especially their burgers! Give it a try! This place reminds me of Schooners in Biloxi read more

Delicious food, friendly and knowledgeable staff, cold beer, all at a fair price. I love the Chicken Dickens and the daily blue plate specials. read more

The fried green tomatoes were cooked perfectly and delicious. Enjoyed the hamburger steak, onion rings, jalapeño bite appetizers, and a delicious brownie. Will definitely visit again read more

Ate there today and pork chop was dry and flavorless, everything needed salt and pepper and waited for a drink to long.

Jackson's very own "CHEERS" one of Jackson's long standing restaurants that has standed the test of time . If your looking for good home cooked food at a reasonable price this is the spot. Nightly food specials daily lunch special Great bar drinks and best beer prices in town. Come by and check it out. I promise you will stay a while. read more

Best lunch place around but the dinner is great too! It's a tricky location but for about the same price as a chain you can have a better steak. read more
