Mayflower Cafe

123 W Capitol St, Jackson, MS
Tel: (601) 355-4122
 

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.

  • Rude reception.
  • Bland pasta.

“I used to visit this restaurant in the 1960's for a late night snack of Spaghetti Bolognese. We were always greeted rudely by staff.”

  • Nothing.
  • Won't be going back.

“Will 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 red fish with crab meat on top and it was okay. However, we both had to pick out numerous small bones in the red fish and cartilage in the Crab meat. 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.”

  • Nothing.
  • Charged more and was not willing to do ANYTHING to work it out.

“We were charged $4.30 for a piece of frozen pie. The lunch menu clearly said that lunch with dessert was $8.50. When we asked about it, we were told there was nothing she could do and she was going to charge us that much for a piece of pie. Very disappointing. ”

  • Cool, unreconstructed diner architecture.
  • Food and service.

“Great old lunch-counter place, but the food and service are slipshod. I was ignored by a succession of waitresses, the order was brought wrong (twice), and the club sandwich was pitiful. Hard to mess up a club sandwich.”
