| About: | 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. |

User Rating: 2 out of 5 starsWill not be going back! Being a resident of Jackson for 50+ years, have always considered the Mayflower as my favorite restaurant in Jackson until this past weekend. Both my friend and I ordered redfish with crabmeat on top and it was okay, however, we both had to pick out numerous small bones in the redfish and cartlilage in the crabmeat. The baked potato was warm but not hot and the rolls which are usually an asset here seemed to have been from the night before and reheated - way too browned. Our waitress was very friendly, however, we thought a good waitress would never have even put those on the table. We waited until the check came and when asked how the meal was informed her about the rolls and she just blew it off and said she noticed that - the cook seemed to have a problem with turning the oven too high? Both of us agreed, the Mayflower will not be on our next dining out experiences.
User Rating: 5 out of 5 starsMy husband and I visited the Mayflower this past weekend (at night) and the karma was like slipping back in time 70 years! Food was delish--we had the "Red Fish Jane". Atmosphere true old-town Jackson with a swanky cafe twist...BYOW (bring your own wine). Service was to die for also---You've got to love the Mayflower,

My husband and I almost always eat dinner at Mayflower before symphony performances, and we enjoy it every time. The menu features Greek and American dishes--including a traditional Greek salad with
their "House" dressing (a traditional Southern Comeback dressing that is TO DIE FOR!) Their good seafood dishes include everything from a yummy seafood pasta in cream sauce to Mississippi's ubiquitous fried catfish. The veal cutlets in tomato gravy are also delicious, especially with a side of hand-cut fries. Mayflower is a Jackson landmark, and rightfully so.
