I sat at the bar and the bartender was super nice and seemed really happy to be there. The food on the other hand was not that good. I started with their “award winning” gumbo which was cold. I’m guessing they added cold white rice to the warm gumbo which made the entire dish cold. I also ordered the crab cakes and the mushroom and asparagus gratin. The crab cakes were just OK and the au gratin was inedible; and it wasn’t even close to au gratin. It was basically a goopy, cream sauce served with mushroom stems, three pieces of raw asparagus and uncooked yellow onion. The onion was extremely pungent and the fact that it was raw made it hard to eat. I liked the place, loved the server, and really didn’t like the food. It’s too bad.

The ambiance of the restaurant was inviting, making it a perfect spot for a nice meal. I ordered the Chicken Piccata, which was absolutely delicious. The flavors were well balanced, and it was cooked to perfection. The Wedge Salad was also impressive; it was fresh and crisp, complementing the main dish beautifully. I tried the Pork Chop, which was cooked well but a bit salty for my taste. It might be perfect for those who enjoy a stronger flavor profile. To top off the meal, I indulged in the Caramel Cheesecake. It was simply amazing—rich, creamy, and the caramel added a wonderful touch. Overall, I highly recommend Char for its great food and lovely atmosphere. I look forward to returning to try more dishes!

This place was impeccably ran by 2 of the greatest GM 's during its heyday ...David and Lawerence, with outstanding Chefs and Servers alike. I was passing thru Jackson and stopped here to dine but l would of missed my flight had l stayed, next time for sure!! Flasback: l celebrated my 40th birthday dinner party here omg 18years go. #lLOVECHAR4EVER

I can't believe we haven't tried before!

Char use to always be 5 star service, going above and beyond with attention to all details. Now the quality of service has gone down hill for dinner. Service is similar to Applebees.

The bread and wedge salad were delightful, but the steak lacked any char or seasoning, and the fish did not meet the expectations set by the menu. There was hardly any sauce or crab meat, making it feel like a $40 meal wasn't worth it.

I expected fresh off the grill sizzling steak for such a long wait. We eat ar Char often for special occasions. This experience was not up to par.

Two members of our group ordered the Eggs Benedict special, while another had the chopped steak with potatoes and vegetables, and the last person opted for a wedge salad. The food was exceptional across the board. Jake provided excellent service throughout our meal! Char is a fantastic and reliable destination for fine dining in Jackson. Thank you!

Having Tommy play the piano truly enhanced our evening. Our server was fantastic—though I regret that I didn’t catch her name. I really appreciate waitstaff who respect your space and don’t interrupt your conversation excessively, unlike at some other seafood places. Her timing was spot-on, and my steak was cooked to perfection!

Don’t miss out on the spinach crisps, steaks, and burgers either. The mimosas are made with freshly squeezed orange juice, which is a lovely addition. The service is outstanding, and the food is amazing!

The fried green tomatoes were just okay, but the redfish with broccoli was fantastic. The pecan pie with vanilla really stole the spotlight. We’ll definitely be returning soon. While the overall prices are on the higher side, I enjoyed the restaurant and the food, so I wouldn’t mind the cost. I can’t believe we hadn’t tried Char sooner!

I would suggest skipping that dish, as none of us enjoyed it. But, to each their own—someone must be ordering it! Aside from that, everything else was good. The server was friendly, and the food was well-prepared.

As the night went on, their noise level rose, which made it hard for us to enjoy our meal.
