I was in Jackson Mississippi today and stopped in for lunch. The place was packed inside and outside. Appeared to be mostly locals and everyone seemed to be enjoying their meal. I ordered the Tamales (turkey) and they were terrific. Four Tamales along with split peas and rice. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Lovely atmosphere, helpful and friendly staff, SUPERB dining! Mussels and calamari amazing. Scallops and "gigged" flounder beyond compare. My traveling companion's comment, "I wish I was as rich as this food." We loved every bite! Nice wine selection and good cocktails. Will definitely be stopping in again any time we are near Jackson.

I used to go to this restaurant when I was a young teenager. It has been around for a long time, but under different ownership. It is now a trendy place to eat (still has that 50's look) and in the evening the food is up scale. The price reflects that. We were taken there by family for our 50th... More

Traveling and Dog Sitting can be contradicting tasks. We found out that Walker's allows well behaved dogs on their outdoor patio. The food was interesting and tasty. Not your typical BLT...Fried Green Tomato BLT. The server was very helpful and did not make us feel guilty for dragging him outside during a light rain storm. When the rain really came... More

Pulling up to this retro drive inn, you prepare your self for coast type experience! Once you walk in, you are greeted by a cozy, intimate dining experience. The menu choices were fabulous, the only concern is you have to make a decision. Friendly, helpful wait staff! Overall, an understated, delightful experience! This is a don't miss, check it out!

Walkers does a transformation from lunch to night. Lunch is a little more low key with businessmen, students, and locals dining frim $15-$20. At night there is a transformation - so don't show up in jeans. Dinners go for $25-$30 but everything tastes awesome. This is the "must-eat" place if Jackson. Just ask the locals- this is ALWAYS their favorite... More

We ate here for lunch and the food was tasty and attractive and reasonably priced. I ordered a veggie plate and while that seems simple it is hard to find places that prepare and cook vegetables with care. Yummy.

Had redfish anna on May 17 for lunch. It was ok but not enough to eat. The fish was about the size of my two fingers, I had 4 skinny beans and an ice cream scoop size of mashed potates. They do not serve rolls at lunch! Corn bread was available but who wants corn bread with fish! At $18,... More

The rave reviews brought us to this restaurant and boy, were we disappointed. Horrible service, we waited over 45 minutes to get our meal--it was good, but for the prices we paid, it was not worth it. Would not recommend, but the place was quite busy.
