Ridgeland

About the restaurant

Mark and Mary Shapley began this dining tradition in 1985 and soon became one of the premier restaurants in the state. After taking a break to raise their two girls, they have returned with the same great food and service everyone came to know. Great steaks and seafood along with their famous tamales are still the main attraction along with an impressive bar and wine offerings. Please come by and see for yourself how special this restaurant is. We were recently voted 'Best Fine Dining' by the readers of Mississippi Magazine

We come to town from Lafayette La where we have very good food. This place was just incredible. From service to quality of food, my experience was a 10+ out of 10. What makes this place so unique are the owners walking around making sure all of their customers are satisfied. All of the vegetables come directly from his garden. It’s a must if you ever in the Jackson / Ridgeland area

About the restaurant

Make the most important meal of the day also the best one at Big Bad Breakfast!
We’re serving breakfast cuisine full of inspiration and energy. One visit will guarantee you never look at a breakfast plate the same again. Whether it’s our house-cured Tabasco Brown Sugar Bacon, crispy southern fried chicken or Original Grit Girl grits, you’ll be talking about coming back before you’ve left the table.
And don’t forget… we serve lunch too.

Best biscuit I’ve had in years, and the grits were perfect. But the food, as good as it is, isn’t why you should eat here. The service is genuinely warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere is buzzy and upbeat with the energy of happy locals enjoying each other’s company. If you’re dining solo, grab a seat at the counter. Abby will take good care of you, and you’ll be chatting to folks in no time. Prepare to be charmed on arrival and sorry to say your goodbyes.

Another great meal at Siren. Celebrating our aunt’s successful chemo with her and our cousins. The drinks were amazing (and whimsical), the food was delicious, the service was excellent. If I could describe a perfect evening with family it would look like this one. My only regret is that I can’t give more than 5 stars for the rating.

My husband and I had an outstanding experience at jazz brunch. The live music created the perfect ambiance for our meal, and we were thoroughly impressed with every element of our visit. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and our server provided exceptional service throughout. This is exactly the kind of dining experience we love, and we'll definitely be returning soon!
