Sugar’s Place

I love this place. Everything they serve is awesome. They have the best philly cheesesteak in the south, and their breakfast is great too. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the Jackson, MS area.

After bailing out of Steve’s at 9:10 am because I wasn’t interested in watching the floor be mopped, I walked to Sugar’s for breakfast. Order at the counter, good prices, service with a smile. Take out available. Limited menu, but good quality and tasty. I’ll be back.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. However, the food I’ve found only «ok». I’ve eaten here a handful of times. If you go in for breakfast and get a toaster sandwich it’s pretty good but order from the lunch menu and beware of the frozen food. I don’t mind the prepackaged frozen food if the prices are adjusted appropriately but when I pay $ 7 for a burger alone, I expect more than a tasteless frozen patty from Sysco. The fries were crinkle cut from a bag as well. I have also had a plate lunch that included frozen prepackaged fried okra and flavorless canned green beans. The chicken pasta was ok but once again, felt over charged.
I’ve heard that the catfish is good and would love to know if it’s seasoned or breaded in house. I’ll have to ask if I ever decide to try it. So in conclusion, Sugar’s is an ok place to eat if you’re nearby and need a quick bite. Just be prepared to pay more than you’d like for prepackaged frozen food.

A quick walk downtown brought me to a place with friendly staff and great home-​style cooking at a great price. The chopped steak and Mac and cheese were both really good, and the green beans were perfect (with a slightly tart taste that I loved). The owner was really nice and personable. I will definitely go back!

I never write Unilocal reviews but felt compelled to write about Sugar’s because not a lot of people know about this place but everyone should eat here! I am business traveler to Jackson and am constantly on the hunt for good fried catfish, meaning, I go to a lot of places! The catfish here is among the best! The green beans were divine, great seasoning and flavor. I liked my meal so much I came back the next day for breakfast and had some awesome grits.
The service is great. It’s a family owned business where the folks there are super friendly and will chat you up as your food is prepared.
The only bummer is that they are only open until 2 pm, but was pleased to hear they are going to open from 6pm to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. I hope more people support so that this place can stay around forever!

This is the best kept secret in Jackson. Open for breakfast and lunch. I was never a grit fan until I tried Sugar’s. I don’t know what they do differently, but OMG. Now I love grits, but only theirs! Same thing applies to their mac and cheese. Their greens are cleaned beautifully and every single thing they serve is cooked with love and that comes through when you taste it. They have daily specials — the chicken and dumplings dinner is to die for. LOVE the grilled catfish and fried pork chop. Excellent black eyes peas and fried okra. Shrimp poboy is stuffed full of shrimp and delicious. All sandwiches I have ordered have the bread grilled until crunchy but not saturated in butter so stays crisp and doesn’t get soggy. I have had probably 30 meals from them in the past 2 years and not one of them was disappointing. Love LOVE Sugar’s Place!!!

This jewel in the heart of Jackson makes my day. I have never had something from Sugar’s that I did not enjoy. I am particularly fond of their burgers, but their soul food is spectacular, too. It’s convenient for people who work downtown and frequented by the students of MC Law, just across the street. On a warm, sunny day, you can sit outside at the umbrella covered tables. The best part is that you can get a quality meal for under $ 10. I highly recommend Sugar’s, and I go there every time I’m in Jackson. Keep up the good work, guys!
