New American Restaurants near Ridgeland, MS

“My children and I love Trace Grill! It's so easy to call in an order for carry-out, which is usually ready within 15 to 20 minutes, or to simply walk in, order and sit where we want. The southern comfort food and friendly staff really brings the out an ambiance of having lunch or dinner at a true family diner. The food is always great, I personally have the rosemary or BBQ chicken. My son loves the catfish, and my very picky daughter always has a grilled cheese and French fries. Also, dessert is never disappointing!“

“We went to this restaurant on a whim looking for good food in the middle of the day. This was our first time trying it out. The food and atmosphere did not disappoint. We chose to dine outside because it is very upscale inside and we were a little under dressed. My son loved his food. He is a picky eater so that is a plus for us to find a place he likes. I hate I didn't have pictures of the food but we were so hungry we didn't have time to take any!!!. The wait staff was top notch. We will definitely be frequenting this place going forward.“

“We booked the Chef's Dining Room for a private party of twelve this past Saturday and couldn't be happier with our experience.The room itself has a round table and that made it nice to be able to talk to everyone in the group. The room does have a door, so we were not disturbed/ did not disturb others in the dining room.The food was excellent. We ordered several appetizers and everyone raved about the Pimento Cheese Toast.Most folks got a half wedge salad and were pleased with it. Members of the group ordered steaks, seafood, and burgers and everyone enjoyed their meal. Food was served in a timely fashion and everything was delicious.Most of the group got desert and we enjoyed the Strawberries & Cream Blondie, Carmel Tart, and the chocolate cake.Our server, Alex, and the other staff that assisted him did a wonderful job in making sure we were taken care of and provided excellent service. They were there when we needed them, but did not intrude on our celebration.This was our first dinner at CAET and it will not be our last. The food and service is excellent and I highly recommend CAET for dinner and also if you need a place for a private dinner/function.“

“To be fair, I've only had one dish here but it keeps me coming back! The red beans and rice is the best in the whole metro area. I'm not even a big red beans n rice fan, but that's how good this dish is. The staff are very friendly and personable. Food comes out hot and fast. Really unique mardi-gras-style atmosphere. Give it a try, you'll be glad you did.“

“Sometimes you get good advice from a hotel bartender on local places to eat around town and sometimes you get sent to a whole shit show. This time we found a winner!! We stayed at The Westin and were down at the bar grabbing drinks before we went out for dinner. He immediately, without hesitation, not only said this was the only place we should go, he also told us exactly what server we should ask for. He said that Casey was the man who we needed to see. (This was a year ago, so I hope he is still there). Arrived to a packed house but were able to slide in pretty quickly. The place is stupid cute. It's in an old diner and all of the old feel still in it. Fine dining in an old diner. Love it. I'm not into asking for servers I have never met so we just rolled the dice. Server arrives and it's none other than our man Casey. He was pretty rad I must say. He could have owned the place with all of the pride that beamed from him when he talked about the dishes. All of the food was fantastic. Menu may have changed in a year so I won't drool on about it too much. I will say this.... We had a Dry Aged Bone In Ribeye that was the special and holy shit. My wife still says it's the best steak she has ever had. Desserts were awesome! Fried pies with ice cream and a Cinnamon Roll Tiramisu. Oh my goodness! I cannot wait to come back here! '24 - 27/100“

“Lou's is what the Jackson dining scene needed. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and exudes a cozy and welcoming vibe. The staff is attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. I recommend the brisket toast, crawfish grits, and s'mores cheesecake. The smoky brisket was generously heaped onto perfectly toasted bread. The creamy grits provided the ideal canvas for succulent crawfish, each bite bursting with flavor. The s'mores cheesecake was nothing short of a heavenly creation. It was velvety smooth, with a luscious chocolate graham cracker crust, elevated by toasted marshmallow topping. Honestly, it is probably the best cheesecake I've ever had!“

“1st & foremost let me just start with the customer service that I received, hands down I wish I could give 10 stars. Everyone was so welcoming, even the cooks in the back were speaking. I honestly felt like I was at home with my people the energy was so good. Everyone was smiling and enjoying their job. Now on to the Big Kuntry love a good chew stamp of approval. That FRIED BROCCOLI gave me life! When I say it was cooked perfectly with a seasoned golden brown crust. Man say, my stomach was happy. For a girl who loves her some fried okra I must admit whatever seasoning they put on theirs definitely won me over. Now my wings I was a little nervous ordering the honey gold because everybody can't do it like Memphis but man oh man, THEY DID! I was impressed. And then there was the Flip sauce flavored wings that I let Flip talk me into trying and he didn't steer me wrong. I highly recommend them! I ordered a 10 piece but by time I returned to my hotel and got comfortable I wish I had ordered more. I will definitely be visiting again next time I am in Jackson.“

“Out of town, again on business, looking for a good place to eat (and have a drink). Well, I landed on The Manship Wood Fired Kitchen. I usually sit at the bar because I'm by myself. Anyway, the bartender (Angela) is knowledgeable on bourbons (what I like). She didn't treat me like I asked stupid questions. Believe me, I asked a lot. I tried her old fashioned and Manhattan (a perfect Manhattan is what I like). Both were very good. I usually make my own at home and love them so I compare to those. They have a great bourbon/rye selection and other spirits - very extensive. I had the Fisherman's style red dish which is blacked. It comes with cauliflower. Dinner was excellent. I ordered the recommended pecan pie cobbler. I'm not a fan of cobbler. This crust is a cornbread crust. Oh my gosh. Trust me on this. (I know you don't know me from Adam to actually trust me, lol) It was amazing. If you like pecan pie and are a connoisseur of it, you will love this. I really have zero negatives about this place. Not the food or service or anything else. Everything was excellent. Visit this place if in the Jackson area. Obviously bar tenders change and so do servers but this place is worth a visit. Do it!!“

“The food was great. It's a great New Orleans-style atmosphere experience. When you walk in, you will feel the energy and the love. The lighting is great! The Customer Service is awesome. There's a bar area as well as the tables. There is an outdoor patio. It would be an awesome experience for you, and I promise you, you will love it.“

“Went here for the first time and it was really good! We got the pimiento cheese fritters and they were pretty good. I got the catfish that is stuffed with crawfish and it tasted great. I also tried some of the salmon and it was cooked perfectly and was seasoned really good. The sides I tried weren’t awesome though. I got the green beans and I like green beans that are cooked all of the way through and they were crunchy.“
