Welcome to JXN’s Table. Stay Awhile.

Grab a seat. Make yourself right at home. Get in on the conversation. Catch an unforgettable performance. Take in the sights, sounds, exhibits, events, and atmosphere all around you. And wrap, yes, wrap your senses around some of the best food you’ve ever wrapped your senses around. JXN’s table is more than a place to share a meal. (Though, that can be just the ticket sometimes). This invitation to join JXN’s Table is a chance to get to know the one-of-a-kind people, places, and experiences of the City With Soul. So come on, there’s a place set just for you. In fact, we’ve been awaiting your arrival for a while now. And we know just the place (or places) to start.

You’ll find Poppy Pies inside the bustling hub of Belhaven Town Center. Named after the owners’ baby daughter Poppy, the place began as a portable pizza oven pop-up. Now an established take-out spot, Poppy’s delivers a tasty spin on Neapolitan-style pizza, with flavor combinations like The Captain (Cream cheese, Ritz, green onions, and sweet pepper glaze), Sassy Sausage, and Poppyroni that turned out to be just what Jackson was missing.

Pull up a chair, tie that napkin around your neck, and dig in at Bully’s Soul Food. This James Beard Award-winning restaurant has earned its legendary status through authentic Southern cooking, perfectly executed dishes (complete with sides that would make any grandmother proud), and a warm experience that transforms you from customer to family. Indulge in smothered liver and onions, tender turkey necks, crispy catfish, and juicy pork chops. Here, Southern hospitality and meaningful connections find a home over shared meals and soulful stories. 

Find Walker’s Drive-In’s neon sign for an unforgettable feast. The blast-from-the-past interior and decor meet standout dishes at one of Jackson’s top-of-the-list fine-dining restaurants. And lunch options like Walker’s signature Redfish Anna bring a truly creative culinary experience, too. This dish is served with pan-seared redfish topped with lump crabmeat and drizzled with a delightful tomato lemon butter sauce. Explore further with fried green tomatoes, tamales, or a signature prime filet. Wherever the craving leads, every flavor is prepared with heart, passion, and a touch of Southern charm. 

Follow the tantalizing scent of chicken shawarma to Aladdin Mediterranean Grill. For almost 22 years, Aladdin has offered a neighborly invitation, complete with delicious dishes served from across the globe right here in Jackson, MS. Order Aladdin’s specialty lamb—from chops to gyros—and dip it in hummus or tahini. Try a kibby plate—football-shaped pockets of nicely spiced ground beef and pine nuts, encased in a sirloin-cracked wheat and deep-fried to perfection. Rice, pita bread, green salads, chicken kebabs, and more present a host of culinary offerings equal parts delicious and memorable.

Join us at the table. Wherever you sit, you’re in for something good.
