Good food, friendly service, and funky atmosphere. My favorites are the shrimp po-boy and the chicken caesar salad. Catfish and oysters are good too.

years ago I went to Hal & Mal for lunch from work, we used to love the place, good food, good music and lively always. Saw B.B. King and his Lucile there. Now, 15 years later I went back for a light supper on a Friday evening. I asked for the seafood soup...they were out of it. I asked for... More

I had savory Irish stew and a salad, and my son had catfish nuggets. The food was wonderful, and the atmosphere at lunch was fun.

This out of the way spot looks like a converted warehouse...I think it is, but what a fun spot! Had a great southern treat, a Crawfish Po Boy in this surprisingly neat little pub. I'm told they have great music at night as well. It was as good as any I've had.

This place isn't anything great to look at. But the food is good. I didn't have any beer while I was there, but I did have a chicken fried steak sandwich that was off the chain. Service was good and easy to get done in an hour for a business lunch.

The Seafood bisque is the best around, but only available on Fridays. Great place for a low key business lunch or lunch with friends.

This was one of the recommended pubs/restaurants in Jackson but I was massively disappointed. Do not have the chicken zita - terrible! The service was also awful - the waiter didn't have a clue. For example he didn't know that a Cesar salad comes already dressed and brought out two different dressings as he couldn't remember which one we wanted.... More

Stoped in with a coworker for a beer and a few snacks. Had a few local beers which were on tap. Very good and flavorful. Also ordered up some tamales and catfish bites. Both hit the spot! Bar is loaded up with hot sauce..so pour it on! Our bartender was on top of it and always had a fresh glass... More

I got a burger and fries and my wife got the red beans and rice. The red beans were pretty good with a little spice. The burger was average at best. We got the bread pudding for dessert on a tip from a friend. It was ok. The sauce was too watery. The restaurant and bar were like something you'd... More

Doesn't seem to be a night time dinner destination, more of lounge and entertainment.
