Mayflower Cafe

Since its inception in 1935, the Mayflower Café has become synonymous with good taste and good times in Jackson, MS.  As the oldest operating restaurant in the capital city, the classic, Greek-inspired seafood and steak menu has been passed down through the Kountouris family from generation to generation.    A traditional, nightly gathering spot for locals and visitors alike, Mayflower Cafe is a downtown landmark and often featured in the works of area artists.  Many celebrities—from international superstars to local trendsetters—have chosen the Mayflower Café as a favorite stop in Jackson. The restaurant was featured in the highly acclaimed Alec Baldwin film Ghosts of Mississippi and most recently,  The Help. From the famous house salad dressing that Maxim magazine calls the nation’s number one condiment* and was featured on Food Network's "The Best Thing I Ever Ate", through the buttery, melt-in-your-mouth signature redfish, the Mayflower experience is second to none.
