OT: Ask the Pack (Jackson Metro Restaurants)

Two River's is good. The best steak I have had lately is at Ratliff's Ferry on Friday night. The boudin balls at County Seat were extra dry last time there. Not worth the price of admission.

County Seat and City Grill are very good for lunch. Evening dining not so much. IMO

Table 100 is hot garbage. It's like they intentionally made a restaurant for high end white trash. The only reason that place is in business is because some white folk are too scared to drive to Jackson for legitimate restaurants.

I've given it many, many, many chances. I want to like it. But I just can't. It's not in the same class as Parlor Market, The Manship, Lou's, Walker's, Saltine, Char, Bravo, Ely's, Shapley's or Seafood Revolution.

Thing I hate about Table 100, is it costs nearly 5 bucks for a glass of domestic beer. I don't know if it still does, but y'all are so dumb.

I've heard good things about Ratliff Ferry. Brings back many boating and beer

drinking memories**.

The Hitching Rail in Carthage. Your welcome.

The prime rib is delicious when dunked in the chocolate fountain.

Ratliff Ferry serves the big steaks on Friday nights only. They soak the other 6 days in a marinade, better than dales.

It's like 3 miles from Fondren.

I've only been for lunch a few times, but they have a great wedge salad. Plus I work in Fondren and eat Saltine/Walkers at least once a week. Good to get some variation.

Try Provisions 1908, not sure about their wedge salad, but the food is awesome and the Library lounge is a really cool bar. Huge drink menu, old school style. My wife loves that place. It's in the Fairview Inn, get a suite for the night and book a message at the spa and you are on your way to being appreciated...at least for one night.

 

[coach66]

Fairview Inn is where old C66 tied the knot many years ago. Nice place, agree

with your comments.

I have heard breakfast at the Gathering is great.

The Gathering is really good. Family style dinner on Sunday with live music is always top notch

 

[Digging dog]

Bump. Ate at Lou's last night. Ordered the Steak frites again it was awesome. Wife ordered the redfish. She said it was as good if. It better than Walkers. That's pretty strong since the redfish Anna has been on of Walkers signature dish forever.

 

[FreeDawg]

Crechales's on Christmas Eve is awesome. Same families been going forever, mine included. They open the bar next door since the wait is so long and the bartender pours drinks like he's a cpl days from checking in to rehab. A guy plays Santa and the birthday song will come on no less than twice during your meal. Because of bartender, the whole place sings like drunken sailors.

Walkers is the best restaurant in Jackson hands down. I will give you it's expensive but by far the best. Also you will need a reservation.

Back when I was living in Jackson (I left in 1999), I had a date w/ a girl and a friend of me said "Take her to Walker's and I promise you will get laid".
I did, and I did. And I'm sort of a gentleman so I wasn't even trying for the latter, but it happened anyway
Sounds like it's still doing the trick. I have no idea what I got but the food was great and it's a cool place overall.

Have you tried The Manship or Lou's Full Serve yet?

 

[The Riddler]

Been living in Jackson for the last five years so I have not been in the area for a long time but yes I have been to both those restaurants. They are good and my intention was not to say that they are not. Manship has to many hipsters for me. Lou's is good but I just prefer walkers. The veal and lobster Kathy at walkers might be the best dish I have ever had in my entire life. The only thing I don't like about walkers is the price and I can see that being a reason for some people not to like it. The other reason I like walkers is the staff. I have been to restaurants across the world and the service at walkers is the best I have ever experienced. The first time I went there I ordered a scotch and water with my meal. The second time we went back, a month or two later, the waitress remembered my name and my wife's name. She also remembered my drink not just a scotch but the type as well and the wine that my wife prefers. Now after a few years it has gotten to the point to where we don't even order anymore. When we walk in we get the same waitress and unless we are trying something different she will go ahead and put our meal and drinks in before we even sit down. Everyone has the favorite place to eat and for me it is walkers.

South farm chicken you took the words right out of my mouth about table 100. My wife and I heard about table 100 from some friends and decided to try it based on hearing good things. First we waited a good 20 minutes before we even saw a waitress and the food we had heard so much about was awful. It was the worst dining experience I have ever had. I know people have different experiences but table 100 is the only restaurant that I have ever gotten up and just walked out. My wife and I tried to voice our concerns about how our food was over cooked and the manager acted like we were annoying him. Don't get me wrong we paid for the meal and two drinks but we simply got up and left the food sitting on the table. We then went to walkers and even without a reservation they got us a table and saved our night. Maybe table 100 was having a off day and that is something I can understand but it is the only restaurant in the Jackson Area that I will never, under any circumstances, go back to. Honestly I would rather go to Wendy's or MacDonald's at least that way I know before I go I am going to get **** service and terrible food. I will also say that I have heard plenty of people in the Jackson area that have had similar experiences at table 100 and wont go back either. I am not saying that people cant have good experiences there, I am simply saying I didn't see it. My advice is if you going to spend that kind of money for a meal then go into Fondren and eat at one of the many restaurants in that area that are very good. Don't waste your time or money at table 100.
