I will be working in Jackson, MS next week. Will be running around in the evenings Monday through Thursday and wanted to get some suggestions from you boys on places to eat. I prefer the local dives with good food and a lot of atmosphere (hate the national chains). Let me know what ya got and thanks in advance for the advice.

Cherokee off the 55 N frontage rd, north of Northside Dr.
Frisco Deli in Pearl
Tico's, (expansive ala carte, but good) on County Line Rd.
McBees on Lakeshore Drive towards the rez.
Hal and Mal's on State Street downtown.

Try the search option at the top, metro eats, should help you out

2 rivers in canton. But I'm a little biased

all good advice. Might I add soulshine pizza just north of Renissance.

I think the best place to eat in Jackson right now is Olga's on the frontage road of I55 in the shopping center with Habana Smoke Shop. Excellent. Bravo has good "sort of Italian" in Higland Village off I55, and Char in the same place is good, but overpriced.

The Remington Grill....assuming that I got the name right and it is still there...been a while since I've been but it used to be stellar! Great atmosphere and food! They used to serve some game dishes...elk, pheasant, quail..

For lunch you must try two different places

The Elite

Beatty Street Grocery

Huntington grill is what you meant to say

I recommend the Mayflower for seafood. You also can bring your on bottle.

Walkers is good place for lunch for sure

Actually GC its pure Italian...but it's Northern Italian....not Southern Italian....which is what we gringos affiliate with "Italian" food. Northern Italian isn't as "tomato'ey" as Southern....just fyi

Another one I always forget is Basil's in Belhaven off of Fortification skreet....its good, reasonable priced, and you can bring your on bottle as well.

Lot of it just depends on where you are mainly.

-Basil's in Belhaven off of Fortification for lunch or dinner...at dinner you can bring your own bottle
-Keifer's
-Little Tokyo on County Line Rd or Nagoya in Madison off of 463 if you're into sushi
-Hal & Mal's for lunch
-Hickory Pit BBQ on Old Canton Lane
-Majestic Burger

+1 on Walkers, the Mayflower and the Elite.

Mama Hamils in Ridgeland at least one day for lunch, best 8 bucks you can spend.
