I have eaten a couple of times a year in the Mayflower for the last 50 years. I have been told that it has changed ownership recently. It used to be competitive with other really good seafood places in Jackson, but has fallen behind. I had the crab casserole last night with a cup of crab bisque. They were both... more

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... more

The Mayflower Cafe is an obvious favorite with the locals where the atmosphere takes you back to the forties. Nothing fancy here but the food is fresh, home-cooking. The night we were there the flounder was fresh from the boat and the lemon fish was melt-in-your mouth. A bit on the high side of moderately priced. If you want anything... more

Don't let the view of the place keep you from going in! My husband and I ate here on a Saturday evening and almost didn't stop because of the way the place looked including a cop guarding the entrance! We were glad we took the chance and tried it. I ordered the broiled shrimp and my husband ordered the broiled... more

I have eaten at the Mayflower three times now....initially charmed by the genuine historical funk of the place. But I have come to the conclusion that the genuineness of the place does not outweigh the mediocre to poor food and the relatively high prices. On my last visit, the gumbo was bitter, the french fries were as limp as noodles,... more

Our family visits Jackson at least once a year for a ladies shopping weekend. Since Jackson is halfway between Memphis and Mobile this is a perfect location for us to meet. The Mayflower Resturant is one of our favorite dinner spots during these weekend shopping trips. During last year's visit we ended up there two nights in a row. Growing... more
