What People Are Saying
from Google"Dropped in for lunch with my Foodie Girlfriends & had a lovely experience. There were 2 blue plate offerings which we selected -- crawfish tetrazzini & hamburger steak. I had the feta burger. Excellent choices! Fresh tea, homemade rolls, friendliest service at a reasonable price. Definitely 2 thumbs up! Love it!"
"What a beautiful and iconic cafe in downtown Jackson. The new owners have honored the founders wonderfully by preserving the past and delivering amazing food and drink. The service is outstanding from the moment you walk in the door. Our food was delicious, full of flavors and perfectly prepared. Easy to find parking steps from the front door, we will make this a regular spot for us!"
"We hosted our engagement party in the Mayflower’s event space and had the most wonderful evening! The process to reserve the room was simple and straightforward. The staff took such great care of us and our guests🤍 The food and drinks were 10/10 and I cannot recommend the Mayflower enough!!"
"I hadn’t been to Mayflower Cafe in years - it’s an oldie but a goodie. We ordered the fried crab claws (needed more seasoning), broiled oysters (prefer oysters in the shell), stuffed crabs, scallops, rolls, and bread pudding - every thing was good (even the loaded butter). The restaurant is small and gets very crowded, but that’s part of it. Service was a little slow but it was a Friday night. What really stood out was the kindness of their staff. The sweetest older gentleman working security walked us to and from our car and even opened the door for me. Please support this local gem - it’s a Jackson classic for a reaon."
"Y'all...we loved our lunch at the Mayflower! What a joy to see the new incarnation of this Mississippi classic! The catfish was superb... fresh and perfect in every way. The sides were off-the-charts, too. Service was attentive and super friendly. And don't get me started on the peach cobbler... can't be beat! This is definitely our new favorite. Pay them a visit... you'll love it, too!"
