Hal & Mal's

"Going through Jackson heading back to New Orleans from Arkansas and wanted to try a restaurant we had never been to. My wife saw this one on google maps. When we walked in nobody greeted us. A waitress walked right by us. Went to the next room and saw a guy walking with plates and asked do we sit ourselves and he said yes. We sat and an older guy that was cleaning tables took our drink order! Later the waiter came and took our order! I had hamburger steak, greens, mash potatoes, & carrots! My wife had a fish poboy with fried okra. Food came and I had no greens but I got green beans. The waiter took care of it. My wife’s poboy wasn’t very good. Tasted like it was watered down. My hamburger steak tasted funny and halfway through eating it I noticed it wasn’t cooked all the way through. The greens had lots of big stems and were hard. The cornbread didn’t taste like cornbread. The green beans tasted funny. The carrots was the only thing I liked!! We weren’t very happy with the meal, so I found the waiter, who never checked on us after we started eating and asked for the check so we could leave and get back on the road. I will never stop in Jackson to eat again!"

"What a unique experience. Located in an old train station this place has such a great atmosphere. With a funky rock n roll vibe it looks like a place that should just be a barand yet as we sat for brunch we recieved outstanding service and the food was great. The tamale nochos were so good. It was out fast and all tasted great. I highly recommend you try this place out."

"Our waitress Hershey was amazing!! So kind, so helpful so sweet. Had great food recommendations. Took her time with us! Would love to see her again while being there. The Bartenders were not too friendly. We ended up coming to the bar to order shots and it took about 5 mins to get their attention. There was maybe four people sitting at the bar. At that time, they were just chatting. Once sitting at our table I requested an Expresso Martini. The first one I received had Cathead Orange in it - it was awful. They remade my drink and it was not great but way better. The Hostess was super nice and again our waitress was great. Sweet potato pancakes were good, the bagel tray was good (wish there were more bagels), house made chips great, the bacon and biscuits were good and the portions for breakfast are elite and do not forget to order the 2/1 Mimosas :)"

"Enjoyed the whole experience. Had dinner and then enjoyed a cocktail while listening to live jazz music. Will return. Thank you. Hershey deserves a raise!"

"If you’re in the Jackson area, did not miss this interesting bar. Drinks are great atmosphere is awesome they have live music too. If you live in the area and haven’t been, you need to go and ask your friendly bartender Aharon he will treat you right."
