Variety Restaurants in JXN
It’s hard to find a restaurant category that isn’t represented in Mississippi’s capital city. From Greek to Mexican, Jackson has it all.
It wasn’t that long ago that restaurants in most Southern towns didn’t have that much to offer as far as diversity goes. Most would have been cafes, serving the same food that grandma or mom served you at home: good, homestyle Southern food. But times have changed, and Southern towns of all sizes have a fantastic array of restaurants to choose from. Jackson is undoubtedly in the vanguard of that movement.
4th and Goal Sports Café - LeFleur East
4th and Goal Sports Café is one of the most popular sports bars in Jackson. They describe themselves as having "the best of everything in one location," and many would agree.
The menu is extensive, with all the classics you might expect in a sports-centered eatery. There are almost a dozen starters which include favorites like fried pickles, cheese sticks, onion rings and lots more.
If you are in the mood for a serious burger, there are five to choose from: a BBQ bacon burger, mushroom Swiss, the classic American, three cheese and hamburger sliders. There is also a wide selection of sandwiches and wraps, salads, wings and pizza.
You won't find a better place to watch that big game with 4th and Goal's 360-degree HDTVs, along with drink specials, happy hour and ladies' night.

Mayflower Café - Downtown
Mayflower Cafe first opened in 1935 and is the city's oldest operating restaurant. The restaurant bills itself as synonymous "with good taste and good times."
The menu is classic Greek-inspired seafood and steaks, with recipes passed down through the Kountouris family for generations.
"Ghosts of Mississippi" featured Mayflower Café, as did Dreamwork's "The Help." The Food Network featured Mayflower's famous Comeback dressing in "The Best Thing I Ever Ate," and Maxim Magazine named the dressing as the number one condiment.
