Had redfish anna on May 17 for lunch. It was ok but not enough to eat. The fish was about the size of my two fingers, I had 4 skinny beans and an ice cream scoop size of mashed potates. They do not serve rolls at lunch! Corn bread was available but who wants corn bread with fish! At $18,... More

The rave reviews brought us to this restaurant and boy, were we disappointed. Horrible service, we waited over 45 minutes to get our meal--it was good, but for the prices we paid, it was not worth it. Would not recommend, but the place was quite busy.

Picked this restaurant from internet reviews on a business trip to Jackson and was shocked at how adorable, retro cool, and fabulous it was. The menu was varied and contained the best ingredients a foodie could look for. The service was provided by a sweet southern girl with an excellent knowledge of the menu. While I'm not always a filet... More

Came here for lunch with friends on a rainy Friday. Located in the hip Fondren neighborhood (where part of the movie "The Help" was filmed), the ambiance is cool. The dining room is packed (I would recommend reservations especially at night). They have an overflow dining room next door, but the ambiance just isn't the same.Wait for the main dining... More

The bacon, lettuce and fried green tomato sandwich was a treat. This is a very small restaurant. The interior has been done up in vintage fashion and is pleasant. The lunch menu was diverse, but the evening meals looked at bit pricey and fussy if you were to take young children.

I went to Jackson for business on and off for a year and Walker's Drive In was my favorite place to go. Lunch is very good with a wide variety of sandwiches, salads and entrees. The Walker’s Chef Salad is the best. The dinner is even better with very good fish and steak dishes, I always ordered the fish dishes... More

Light and rich finally come together in this heavenly but not sinfull dish. Big crab flavors and light buerre blanc strike the right balance.

I took the wife out when there for a meeting and staying downtown. I found it on here btw. Anyway the reviews were right and it was great! The food was excellent, great service etc. I do not grade high either. The prices are a bit higher than some places but for what you get, it's worth it. The flounder... More

We were not expecting food of this quality or menu with such interesting selections, what a great surprise. Not cheap but worth it!

On our way from IL to NOLA and spent the night in Jackson. Trip Advisor recommended Walker's as the best restaurant in town...WE AGREE! Monday night...glad we had reservations...very friendly staff and the food was superb! Had salads--both great and the tamales and crab cakes (from previous reviews) were outstanding!
