Midtown, Jackson

Transitional neighbourhood between downtown and Fondren, with a mix of neighbourhood diners, Mediterranean cafes, and classic soul food joints.

Midtown Jackson sits between downtown and Fondren, a transitional neighbourhood whose eating reflects it. Neighbourhood diners, Mediterranean cafes and classic soul food joints share the blocks without a strip to organise them. It is the in-between quarter, and the plates are better than the kerb appeal suggests.

The full Midtown food guide is still being researched. In the meantime, see the Jackson food guide for the places we cover, or the neighbourhood index.
