Wib's Drive-In — Restaurant in Jackson

I went in with my wife last night. Two groups came in after us and were seen to immediately. Meanwhile, I made direct eye contact with each server and motioned them over. One of them decided to instead spend time prepping the store for close by removing the hot sauce bottles at 6:30 when close is 7:30. After 10 minutes, one of them finally asked, "So who's taking that table?" and one of the girls said she definitely wasn't. Some bargaining happened and we finally had our order taken by one of the guys who has worked here for years.

After dropping off our food, our server continued to ignore us, talk to his friends (girlfriend?) in a corner booth, and left our drinks empty.

It's a small dining room. He walked past our table a dozen times with our empty cups, and ignored me when I tried to get his attention.

I've never been treated this way at Wibbs and I can only imagine it's because I brought our napping infant in with us. She never once made a peep.

Oh, and by the time we left, there wasn't a single empty booth. All those hot sauce bottles came right back out.

Old review: A beautiful little hole-in-the-wall mom and pop shop. The sandwiches are delicious and the fried pies...

The bbq sandwiches had VERY LITTLE meat in them. More the thickness of a single slice of lunch meat. All portions are very small. We're a medically retired military family of 7. The first few things we wanted they were out of, so we ordered frys and sandwiches for all, except 2 of the kids got corndogs. We also got hand pies. 5 strawberry and 2 apple. It took them 3 times of cooking to get the apple pies out to us as they kept sending strawberry pies instead. I ordered 6 drinks because I was going to share with my 3yo but she brought and charged us for 7. It was almost $95.00!!!!! Then they charged us for the pickle spears and every single cup of ranch. We only got 1 cup of ranch and 1 pickle spear per person. Then, to top it off, they don't have a military discount. The waitress was nice and did apologize profusely for the mess up with the pies. We always bus our own table, so the waitress only had to take the pile back to get washed and wipe the table down. It's a shame because we prefer to support mom and pop establishments, but I don't want to feel like I'm throwing my money out the window. We will...

TL;DR It's a local favorite that's somewhat cheap.

For the price, it's a decent meal, but even one of our party made the comment that in all the years he'd been there, this was the first time he could see the meat on his sandwich. Another commented that they opened in 1947 and just started on their second hog.

Portions are small and the fries taste like fresh fries from a Burger King. Their soda had an odd taste in it. Almost milky. Not bad, but unexpected and probably a result of the water used. The pimento cheese is apparently home made and isn't bad at all, but nothing to rave about.

I had a Spicy combination sandwich (a couple of thin pork slices and a mass of pimento cheese). It was not nearly spicy enough for my tastes. And I couldn't taste the pork past the cheese.

I also split some cheese sticks. They were battered not breaded (I like both, but you may have a preference) and tasted passable (reasonably priced).

Overall service was slightly lacking, but at this price I'm not expecting much more than we got.

Update: came back with family and the service was as good as you...
