Minnie Mae's — Restaurant in Jackson

UPDATE: Lately the onion rings are the basic minced-and-formed rings like everybody else serves. I rate them a good solid mediocre, just like the fries. I don't know what happened to change this. It's not enough for me to take back a star, but I really don't go there as often now. Now their biggest draw for me, besides the steak sandwich, is the soft ice cream.

original review I have been going to this location all my life, off and on. First, in my memory, it was a drive in serving A&W rootbeer in big frosty mugs on clip-on trays. I was a little kid sitting in the back seat at the time, but that wonderful impression stuck. For a few decades after that, i remember it as Billy's Burger Hut, and I kept going there whenever I was in Jackson. When Billy sold it, I was living out of state. I moved back, only to find it was Minnie Mae's and decided tried it again, as it was more convenient to my "new" house than any other. I ordered the chicken-fried steak sandwich, like I did when Billy had it, and it was still good, especially if you add cheese. They still serve some wonderful, reasonably priced, soft ice cream and milkshakes, too. Their fries are still iffy, just like Billy's were, but their onion rings are an excellent substitute. Real deep fried onion rings, not the minced-and-formed rings like you find in so many fast food places. They have a full menu, but I don't eat take-out often, so I am just reviewing what I know. Their fried chicken is apparently popular. That fifth star is hard to get from me for any fast food place, so this is about as good as it could get. I might consider that fifth star if i could get some good, crisp fries every time. I think it depends on who's cooking... But I don't try the fries often. I really like the...

Local dive that leaves other drive ins in the dust. Absolutely the best fried catfish I've EVER had. On my 2nd visit the lady even remembered my name! (maybe that's not saying much for me though) lol.. but I was pleasantly surprised. I wish these folks would take the time to make home made tarter sauce or invest in a another brand. The Kraft option has no place next to such delicious fish! Also it would be nice to see different side items offered down the road. But still getting 5 stars bc your fish is EVERYTHING! Highly...

Ooooooooh how I wish I had a picture from everything I have eaten here! Super friendly! Always fresh! Always delicious! Sawyer loves their fried fish plates! Mama and daddy are super fans of their Ruben and their Club Sandwhich, although they do have one of the best and sloppy 😳 (because we all know it's not good til you have to lick your fingers👌🤣) Hamburgers! You will not be disappointed with anything you get from B and Chris❤

Just a heads up: it is now called

B's...
