Hal & Mal's - Jackson, Mississippi

So I think we could have had an absolute amazing meal here for sure, great potential for it, we arrived early and ordered drinks and appetizers which came out quick and delicious, we were waiting for others to join to order, when they arrived we ordered, then proceeded to wait a good 30-45 minutes for our food, we were enjoying good company so it wasn't terrible but a lil irritating, he came by once to tell us it would be out shortly, 20 minutes later after the other tables who ordered after got their meals ours came out, it looked delicious, but mine was barely warm and my husband's was cold, at that point it wasn't worth complaining, but he was super bummed since it tasted good but the cold really threw it off. Not sure if we will visit again, maybe but it wasn't really busy enough to get long waits and cold food.

Hal & Mal’s is Jackson Landmark!

A go-to spot for lunch, dinner and drinks and a great brunch! This is the place to people-see and eat!

Shrimp poboy as fine as anything New Orleans has to offer, along with the Gumbo.

Excellent fresh cut fries. Just crisp, salty potato goodness.

The brunch breakfast is satisfying! Eggs cooked to order, a tasty biscuit, bacon that is good enough for another order, home fries, a smoked sausage link and cheese grits. If you leave hungry it’s your own fault!!

Full bar, great beer selection and soft drinks and tea. “Happening” music over the house speakers and frequently have live music and bands.

Unique, neat atmosphere, friendly service and vittles that’ll keep you coming back!

First time in Jackson and the whole community told me I needed to come here for breakfast so I did!!

I can’t remember my servers name for the life of me but she was so awesome!!! I remember she had strands of sparkly material in her long blond ish brown hair and called people cute names which I’m a sucker for and she ran around that place like a whirling dirvish!!!

I had the most delicious Southern Breakfast today! Started with Candied Bacon and then had the chicken on the catfish head biscuit with cheese grits and a side of sausage gravy. Needless to say, I left in a food coma!

The design of the place is cool and the bathroom cracked me up!!!

My first time having it was for a catered wedding and the waffles almost brought me to tears. We went to brunch the next day and yep, still delicious (waffles not on the regular menu 😩). We met the owners and they were incredibly sweet. Definitely give them a try when you're in the area.

One of the best wine dinners ever! Delicious food, great company, and French vibes! Raphael Semmes Trio + an amazing French singer was in attendance. 6 courses that did not disappoint. French entrees that were approachable and impeccable in taste. The presentation was awesome. Mona Lisa photo booth, the Eiffel Tower, a beret to take home, macaroons, and sable cookies! Looking forward to the next one.

Truly enjoyed my visit to this local spot. They had a bar, table seating, and a live band on this day. It was so nice. The decor is nostalgic. I learned this place used to be a train station. The bartender was so nice and helpful. She made menu suggestions and also made really good drinks. We tried the Ouster and bones, raspberry, plantain, and Brie empanada, and the bbq shrimp and grits. Everything tasted amazing. It was all flavorful. Nothing we ate was overly seasoned. We were stuffed by the time we ended our night there. The oysters and bones were probably my favorite although the shrimp and grits were a close second. Those grits were cooked to perfection under that heap of shrimp. The prices were in line with current market rates. Appetizers were a little under $20. If you are in Jackson, MS please go by here do a meal. You will be glad you did. There is a lot of free parking in front of the restaurant.

We really enjoyed the meal. Good service and decent prices. The bacon was very thick and the biscuit was so soft and real lol. My mom enjoyed her poboy. She said the bread was really good and my potatoes were crispy. All of it was very good! The place could use a bit of updating but it is very historic and nostalgic.

The atmosphere is laid back and chill. It's a whole vibe when you walk in that makes you feel calm.
