First time eating here. It didn’t disappoint. Great food and great service! I also hear that the dessert is great, but I crammed too much food in my mouth during the meal and couldn’t handle anything else. Next time.

Jean's is an absolutely fantastic lunch. Our server was great, and the food is almost overwhelming. We had the fried pork chop and the hamburger steak. It's a shame I didn't make it to dessert.

A true Mississippi classic! Great southern-style food, served on real china with a smile and a "thanks y'all"! It's one of the places that makes Meridian feel like the welcoming small town that it is. Oh, and order the trash fries. You're welcome.
