Elite Restaurant

Stopped off here for a quick lunch and wasn’t disappointed. This is one of the older lunch establishments in the downtown Jackson area. There wasn’t a long wait to get a table and the hostess was friendly as she sat us. Our waitress was courteous and informed us of the specials and got our drink order. The food came out pretty fast and had really good flavor. The prices were about right considering the amount of food you received and all in all it was a good experience. Definitely try the rolls.

Hey All Well we tryed a new but old Restaurant in Jackson and it was like steping back in time with easy listening music laid-back atmosphere elegant dining find food I'm just a very good time and a small restaurant in downtown Jackson it is a must you go see and try it's an oldie but a goodie it's been in business for 70 years three or four generations of family has owned and operated this restaurant it's worth the try enjoy

Enjoyed lunch with family today. I have been dining here since I was a small child, this was my husband (from Tennessee) & our son's first time to try it. We all ordered iced tea, it was fresh, brewed perfectly & our server was refilling our glasses in a timely manner. My husband ordered fried shrimp, my son got the cheeseburger, I ordered the chicken fried veal steak. All of us received the most perfectly fried french fries with our entrees. We also ordered an order of fried dill pickles. Hot & crispy. The best yeast rolls were served hot with butter. Their comeback dressing was delicious. The only complaint was from my husband. He wanted a bigger salad. No room for dessert w, we were stuffed. Thank you for giving us hot delicious Mississippi food & gracious service. Good to be back home.

Didn't start off well but ended satisfied. They didn't have any pie (their only dessert apart from ice cream...which is for the pie) at 7:30 on a Friday night of all times. They don't make sweet tea (at a restaurant in the south that makes fried fish, fried pickles, onion rings etc) AND they were out of meatballs for their spaghetti. Ugh. Luckily their fried catfish turned out to be quite good, as were their rolls and onion rings. German pot roast however, that could use an overhaul...taste like liver sauced with tomato sauce and vinegar, surely even Germans know there are better ways to prepare and season meat.

The Elite may have been the “elite” restaurant in years past but that ship has sailed. Still worth a visit. Mostly booths, waitresses in white, water brought to your table in small glasses, and other amenities nostalgic. Wide variety of entrees from fish, shrimp, steaks, veal cutlets served quickly and tasty. Small dinner salad with house homemade comeback dressing is a treat. Prices are moderate. Two problems for a southerner are NO sweet tea and bread pudding served cold.

First time,eating here. Was not pleased one bit. The waitress was horrible,she came to the table after sitting there for over 5 minutes,did not ask if we would like something to drink,asked if we were ready to order.They were not busy at all. We told her we were not ready,she walked away from the table did not come back until about 15 minutes later. The other waitress finally realize we had nothing to drink and got it for us. Then the waitress then decided to come back,we were placing our order,telling her what we wanted,being rude at this point,because they did not have certain things,what we were asking for. The fish we order was okay,but the new potatoes they served with it came from a can. The top sirloin steak we order,was not a fine cut and they got the order wrong on how it was to be cooked. The hamburger steak was to small and not enough fries as the side. Our bill was over 67.00. The place smelled horrible, like mildew. Would not recommend this place to no one.
