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.

Worst meal I have had in my journey. Ordered the large Greek salad and got a small plate of iceberg lettuce 2 olives and 3 small chunks of feta for $12. My wife had shrimp and scallops for $18 3 med size shrimp and small scallops and a small dish of vegetables. &2.50 for a bottle of 6 oz coke and no refill. Awful value. Don’t waste your time and money. Any self respecting owner let alone a Greek person would be ashamed to sell this BTW had to go to Wendy’s after to get a decent meal. At least there you know what you’re getti... read more

I think I've visited the best in my travel schedule and then I discover Mayflower Cafe on my own, no less. The length of time in business is quite a fete and the nostalgic charm of the actual venue, the delicious food, speciality items and the staff explain why this jewel of a restaurant has enjoyed longevity and is a place to go out of one's way to visit.
