    Sausage pizza
    Charles B.

    Had a great meal with my family at The Manship. We arrived after a length drive from Chicago. We're seated quickly outside. Our party was quickly acquainted with a local cat that also enjoyed the patio. I server Gaby was great. We had the seafood spinach dip, focaccia, a whiskey flight, frozen old fashioneds, short rib pasta, grouper, and a pizza. I'd say skip the focaccia, and whiskey flight (no memorable pours) Everything else was great.

    BBQ chicken pizza

    We came here twice in 6 months. We're from Decatur, GA but decided to stop by again since our first experience was so memorable and food was so good This time Chris was our server, he was attentive and friendly. This time we ordered the supreme pizza and I had the salmon. All dishes had the right amount of seasoning. Cooked to perfection.

    My wedge salad

    I have been a loyal customer of this restaurant for years and absolutely love Destiny and Jo I have brought my staff here many times because I genuinely enjoyed supporting this business. Unfortunately, my recent experience was extremely disappointing. I ordered a wedge salad and was served what appeared to be less than half of what is typically considered a wedge. When I politely brought it to the owner's attention, I expected a conversation focused on customer satisfaction. Instead, I was met with an argument. The owner repeatedly talked over me and insisted that the portion size depended on how large or small the lettuce happened to grow once I showed him my friend half of a wedge compared to mines. As a business owner myself, I understand that food costs and product variations exist. However, customer service should never involve arguing with a loyal guest over what was clearly a very small portion. What upset me most was not the salad itself--it was the way my concern was dismissed. I have always believed that great businesses value long-term relationships and listen to their customers. After years of supporting this restaurant and recommending it to others, I left feeling disrespected, unheard, and unappreciated. It was a disappointing experience that has caused me to reconsider returning. This review isn't about a piece of lettuce; it's about how a loyal customer was treated when they expressed a reasonable concern. Please take the time to click on all the 1 star reviews they have. you will see the name Steven which is the actual owner others reviews will tell you just how poor the customer service is

    Manship Woodfire Kitchen is a seemingly popular restaurant located in the Baptist hospital. However, once you arrive at the restaurant you realize that the restaurant has really nothing to do with the hospital, and simply just occupies a unit inside the hospital. The restaurant ambiance is what one would expect from this type of restaurant (think upscale family restaurant), and there is also an outside seating area with firepits. As it was Sunday at 12:15, the restaurant was very busy and we were lucky to be able to get a last minute reservation. Service was attentive and friendly, and drinks are reasonably priced (mimosa is only $5). We shared a spinach seafood dip appetizers, which wasn't bad, but I would I would have preferred a different delivery mechanism other than the friend wonton crisps that accompany it (perhaps corn chips or bread). Our mains, however, took over 45 minutes to arrive - only had the special bbq wings, and my partner had their burger. My partner said the burger was decent, but not out of this world and gave it a 3.5. My wings were fine, although I couldn't fathom why it took so long as it almost tasted as though the sauce had just been reheated. At one point we inquired about when the mains would arrive, and the waitress politely responded "oh we are busy." Fair, but they should have warned us beforehand. Anyway, worth a try, but I feel that the overall score on google is too high (but not being from Jackson, I am probably picky).

    Amazing food, plenty of flavor and the people are just as Amazing. Got to meet Joe as well as the Owner Steve, they have a customer for life! Kudos to the Chef and the Bartender as well. Support this business.

    Oysters and crab claws
    Arianna S.

    Jackson and me go together, real bad. I love their oysters and crab claws! The service is very accommodating. I try and go every time I'm in town

    Jeanita O.

    Yessss!...The food was delicious, and the restaurant was busy. The ambiance was modern and artistic. I enjoyed an iceberg salad, paired with a blackened chicken sandwich, fries, and a riddle me this drink. The delicious fries tasted like truffle fries, and the riddle me this drink was stellar. The chicken sandwich was dry and small, but it hit the spot. This restaurant is connected to Baptist Hospital, so be prepared to see staff dining, including surgical staff.

    If you're looking for a brunch spot that nails both amazing food and great ambiance... The Manship is the place to go. We sat at the bar and were immediately welcomed with warm, attentive service--the kind that makes you feel like a regular even though it was our first time there.

    A varied menu and tasteful pieces, and other items grilled in the big Italian woodfired oven. Give it a try you won't be disappointed.

We were seated quickly, as it was not super busy on a Saturday afternoon. Our server came quickly and took our drink orders and filled them quickly. She even handled our change of mind without a pause. Nice! Appetizer of Fried ravioli with Parmesan cheese sprinkled was nice and crunchy. Served with marinara sauce. Mom got the Chicken Parmigiana, layered over fettuccini. The portion was huge and quite crunchy, without being overcooked. The chicken was still tender and not dry but the flavor was just meh. It also was lacking in marinara sauce for the noodles. The star of the show was the 4 Train Remix pizza! It comes with Grade mozerella, grilled chicken, smoked gouda, pickled onions, roasted corn, chipotle bbq sauce and cilantro. I opted to add brisket to the 14" pie. Have mercy! The flavor!! The toppings worked so well together and the brisket just added another level of complexity. I would have preferred a slightly thicker crust since the oils tend to sog our the crust. It was a little messy to hold but that just added to the fun. We also tried the Nada Colada mocktail with Torani coconut, pineapple juice and ginger ale and it was really good.

    The flavor that came out of each bite was over the top. I can tell you what else was exceptional,…read moreand that was the service. I have never met such a kind hostess. He insisted that he move our tables to be one big table. I told him it was okay because I didnt want to bother him, but he insisted, saying he wanted me and my little nephew to be comfortable. He handed us the menus, and we decided to order three different pizzas and the Pretzel Bites for the appetizer. The first pizza was the Three Little Pigs, a delicious combination of Italian sausage, pepperoni, applewood bacon, fresh basil, marinara, and mozzarella. This one was by far my favorite. The bacon and sausage had a spicy flavor, and the mozzarella was thick and gooey. One bite and the cheese would stretch for days. The other two, the Pepperoni and Chicken Alfredo, were right up there, too. I like that the Chicken Alfredo tasted more like a pizza than not. It had all the combinations of a Chicken Alfredo pasta dish, but with the spices and marinara sauces, it was a sweet combination of both, but it was more of a pizza flavor, which I just loved. I can't leave off the Pretzel Bites; I liked that the cheese and mustard were mixed, bringing on a very favorable dip. Now I must tell you this: the pizzas are supposed to be a personal pan--ten inches with six slices. The hostess warned me these pizzas aren't your regular-sized personal pan. He was right. The pizzas are huge, the slices even bigger. It's a deep-dish pizza with layers of meat, cheese, sauces, and veggies. So you can order three like I did, or just order one and keep coming back, trying different pizzas, which is a great idea considering the place is so inviting. One more thing: You can eat inside or outside on the patio or the lawn with the large TV screen. It's a very relaxed place, and they have a band on certain nights. I can tell you for sure that the hostess, the food, and the ambiance make this place what it is, very inviting.

Hopefully this is just a To-go experience because if they have served this food to anyone dining in, I cant imagine a person who wouldnt be disappointed and send it back. I ordered the green goddess kale salad, which is i guess exactly what the menu describes but is beyond underwhelming. It was just wilted lettuce and kale with some crushed bits of parmesean on it with 1 dressing. This salad was 9.75 but proably cost them .25 cents to make. Absolutley horrible salad, you get more taste and value from a pre packaged salad kit at kroger. The other thing I got was the braised beef shwarma wrap. This had some ok flavor but that is completely forgotten about because the whole wrap was sopping in grease. It is a fatty meat, but i could even pick up the wrap without my whole hand being covered in grease and the bread was so covered that it felt like dough. Overall very poor meal from a place that usually really like for their plates, bowls, and drinks.
