Dining Out
Hal & Mal’s
By: TLP's Partners
Pull up a chair or barstool at Hal & Mal’s, and you’re immediately immersed in iconic JXN everything. Founded in 1984 by brothers Hal and Malcolm White, Damien and Mary Sanders Cavicchi became the venue’s new owners in 2022—honoring what Hal & Mal’s has always been while opening up to new possibilities. Take the menu: Alongside classics like red beans and rice, tamales, gumbo, and po’boys loaded with Gulf shrimp are now purple sweet potato gnocchi, Indian butter chicken, and beer can shrimp ceviche. Yet, there’s still live blues every Monday, jazz every Tuesday, and the Big Room keeps hosting all the big shows.
Jackson is best defined by experiences, flavor, and community. So come and join us at the table. Wherever you sit, you’re in for something good.
