Our first time at Shapley’s, and it won’t be our last! Fresh redfish cooked perfectly, and a wonderful filet mignon cooked to order. Sides were delicious and seasoned well. We really enjoyed the tamales which we were told was an old family recipe. And we finished with a wonderful bread pudding for dessert. Loved it!

From the moment I walked in, i was impressed by the atmosphere. The staff was incredibly welcoming, and our server went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. The food was absolutely phenomenal every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. I particularly recommend the steak & frites, which was a perfect balance of rich flavors and textures. The attention to detail, from the freshness of the ingredients to the creativity of the menu, truly stands out. I'll definitely be coming back for more!

Discover Jackson

Winding roads of kudzu and cypress trees welcome you to Jackson. The sweet tea is iced to perfection and condenses on your glass in the heavy heat. The air is filled with the scent of hydrangea and columbine flower while the Spanish moss puts you in mind of the past. As one might expect, Jackson is the place to eat Southern comfort food such as fried chicken and cornbread. However, the city also offers some of the most delicious cheeseburgers and tacos around. If you're looking for a night in a blues bar, Jackson is the ideal place to soak up some history while enjoying a beer and listening to the sounds of the greats.
