"(1/15/26) I had a mixed experience at Hen & Egg in Jackson, MS. Unfortunately, the breakfast was not good. The grits were runny and had no seasoning at all. The potatoes were not true country-style breakfast potatoes and were very hard, with barely any seasoning. The biscuit was just okay honestly, Mary B’s frozen biscuits from the grocery store taste better. On the positive side, the lunch sides were really good. The greens and green beans tasted like somebody’s grandma cooked them, full of that homemade, comforting flavor. The mac and cheese was also pretty good. However, the chicken portion was disappointing. You only get one piece, and it was barely seasoned. Thankfully, the house hot sauce & ketchup is really good and helped improve the flavor of the chicken. The cornbread was okay, but it was a bit hard. Lastly, the cinnamon roll peach cobbler was not good. Overall, Hen & Egg has strong lunch sides, but the breakfast needs major improvement in seasoning, texture, and overall quality."

"Run don't walk to this piece of heaven on earth! WOW, what a breakfast! From the smiling faces greating us walking in the door to Britney our friendly server who gave us wonderful recommendations for our meal. We will DEFINITELY be back to try more of the amazing-ness of this gem! The food definitely stole the show. My wife had the pancakes with bacon and a side of grits. The pancakes were light, fluffy, flavorful and delicious. The grits were the perfect consistency and paired great with the pancake breakfast. I had the shrimp omelet which came with new potatoes and the choice of toast or a biscuit. The biscuit came with a spicy honey that was smooth and savory with just the right amount of sweet and spice! The omelet had mushrooms, peppers, tomatoes, herbs all smothered in cheese. The new potatoes came with a house made ketchup that was so good we bought a bottle for the road! Very glad we stopped here today!!!"

"I absolutely love The Hen N Egg!!! The first time I visited, I had the shrimp and grits. The grits melted in my mouth and the shrimp were really flavorful. I loved my experience so much that I planned my birthday party and had it there. The party was a hit. My guests loved everything about it. They were thrilled with the field salad and smoked wings. I will brag on Chef Wallace and his staff to anyone everywhere."

"Our first time here and we can’t wait to come back! The chef greeted us and seated us while we were in line. Everyone was so welcoming and nice! We received a complimentary cup of Mississippi gumbo and it was delicious!!!! I ordered the THEE breakfast and my husband ordered the Chicken & Waffles- everything was 10/10! We definitely be back!"

"The food was amazing!!! Unique flavors to traditions southern favorites. We ordered grits, burgers, chicken sandwiches, peach cinnamon roll, beignets. Everything was delicious! Our waitstaff was very helpful in sharing the story of the chef, building and what to order. We will be back!!!"
