Delicious libations and food. I ordered the Salmon and baked potato. Both were seasoned well and cooked to perfection. Service and food were both good. Definitely recommend if you are in the Jackson area.

Frankie’s is my favorite place to dine in Natchez. The food is exceptional, the staff is the best & the restaurant itself is just beautiful. Being a pescatarian, I enjoy all of their seafood options but my friends say the filet is outstanding!
