Barrelhouse - Jackson

I saw it a few times. We chose a drink and try a bite. The place is cool enough, but very open and comes as something subduing. The bar is cool, so we sat there. Pretty sure the bartender has forgotten to put in our food order, so we had a long wait. It was a good taste (very good), when we finally got it. The papers were so delicate, maybe it was rushed when we reminded them that we also had a food order. Also, at $17 for the brisket sauces and with two drinks while we waited, the bill was steep for the experience.

We were ignored by a waiter after more than 20 minutes. The place was half full and while it seemed that they could use another waiter we observed that this guy drink two other table and food orders. He never spoke to us after he served us our water. I hope that was an isolated event because it no longer has this lack of service.

Dear Barrelhouse! The atmosphere was great! The staff was fun and the job was good! Brisket Flatbread is one of her best appetizers. The Margarita was super tasty and they could serve good house shots! I had grilled chicken, and it was cooked nicely and served with one side of pesto. YUM! My husband got the fish and chips that were also well cooked! The chips (Fries) were PERFECT. Delicious and delicious. The only thing he didn't like was his tartar sauce, but he's so picky. Lol. Definitely on our list of date night places!

If you come, make sure you check the ketchup bottles. Brown/black around the rim. Mold! This was found on several bottles when trying to find a clean one. The depicted bottle is after asking one of the mold behind the bar. Had a strange taste too. Be careful when you order fish, tasted a little past it is excellent.

Driving through the US and stopped in Jackson and ended up staying nearby for the night. We walked into Fondren and grabbed a small bite. I had the wedge (smaller version) salad which was amazing without a meat add on. Although, I could have eaten a full size version. My husband got brisket flatbread. He gave me a piece and it was so good. I got a IPA Spacedust and my husband got the Buenavista (Mexican Lager). Both were fabulous, although, the Spacedust could be a little colder. I couldn't believe they had it on tap. Bravo! Loved the area of Fondren. Hidden little gem.
