Rowan's - Jackson, Mississippi

Gregory K.

Decided to stop by Rowan’s to pick up a to-go plate for lunch a little while back and it was so good I had to stop in a parking lot on the way home and appreciate it w/ a pic before it disappeared. 😩 I got the fried chicken plate w/ two sides: mashed potatoes (which were excellent) and collard greens (seasoned to perfection). I’ll say this for sure: if you’ve been wanting some good.ass.greens with a meal then these are the ones.
P.S. Fried chicken was also great! A little bit too much batter for me, but that’s personal preference so I can’t knock it

Rowans may very well be a hidden gem by way of the saying diamond in the rough. The atmosphere was interesting and eclectic and they have a nice outdoor area also. And though it is stated to be a bar it feels more like something lost between bar and more restaurant bar and grill. The food was good though and I was informed the kitchen is open late. The service was decent and fairly quick. Decent place to have some alone time with a significant other in my opinion as the few times I have been in there it generally was not very busy or loud. Prices are acceptable and are to me midrange for bar fare. They are definitely worth trying out if you are in the area.

Prime Rib Sundays are FANTASTIC!

This is an absolute GEM within Jackson!

This is what you’re looking for. Check them out!!! Can’t wait to frequent more!

Service is hit-or-miss, which to me effects atmosphere, so I gave each only 3 stars. Staff is usually quick and efficient but often cold. It varies from friendly, to indifferent, to surly and if you are outside, nonexistent. I have yet to figure out an exact reason for my varied experiences, *except for Chad who is always the BEST*. My guess is the house is watching/measuring there every move and duns the staff for any unaccounted-for ounce and staff is constantly on edge. I know this though, once I discovered I was paying $10 for a glass of draft, even it was AndyGator 8%, I felt gypped. I can tolerate cold service much better at reasonable prices.

The beer prices overall seem steep to me. I guess they are pricing out the riff-raff. This riff-raff will be going elsewhere except on occasion.

I have no comment on food. I haven't tried any yet. The offerings are too unique/fancified/expensive for my beer drinking palate but one day I will walk up there for a plate lunch and check it out.

Maybe I just can't adjust to modern world. I'm the last of the baby boom generation and probably have different expectations than younger clientele.

Three tables outside had patrons, including our table with (4) people. We were there for over 3 hours and never once did the waiter/waitress come to our table although the other tables were well serviced. We had to go inside and order our drinks, no problem I get it, I suppose, then I/we were not acknowledged and had to "get the bar staffs" attention, ALTHOUGH we were standing right there and clearly visible. Nobody wants to have to ask a bartender for a drink as it comes across rude BUT dang there was not an alternative. Friendly suggestion, if you tell your customers they will be waited on outside then follow thru, if not please acknowledge the person/party member standing at the bar that you told would be taken care of outside instead of ignore them. My 2 cents.
