About this business

An old marquee bearing the familiar name hangs over the corner and shows the way to this long-standing Jackson favorite. Guarded by a pair of grumpy Greek brothers, the requisite long counter with its vinyl spinning stools make this greasy spoon as authentic as they come. Grab your own spoon to ladle generous portions of pork, beef and chicken bathed in thick Southern gravy. Open late by Jackson standards, this is a great choice for those whose business keeps them downtown until late evening.

My dad used to bring me here as a girl. I returned to Jackson recently and had lunch at the Mayflower. The food was great, classic cafe fare, just as I remember so many years ago. The owner was great to chat with and I will be making it a point to get up to Jackson for a great meal from time to time.

Great family-owned cafe. Service was terrific and the coconut cream & lemon ice box pies were amazing.

Ok so I went here because it was on a list as the most iconic restaurant in MS, in a huffington post article I read. I ordered the crabmeat dressing which I expected to be like a thanksgiving dressing but with crabmeat. Lol. It was basically just crabmeat in some marinade and a few shrimp and oysters on top. It was good but if you go I do not suggest ordering that. Next time I will order the red fish, I hear great things. Staff was very friendly!
