Jackson Jambalaya

Two questions:

1) Why list the reason beside only two of them?

2) How the hell does Drago's avoid this list?

If the Cherokee only got a C, they didn't go into the kitchen or bathroom

What the hell is going on in Ridgeland?

@8:56

For the most part, Mexicans and former Jackson residents.

Maybe the Ridgeland inspector is actually doing a thorough job.

Like it's always been said on here, Ridgeland isn't what is used to be 10 years ago. The schools are going down, the crime is going up, and in half of the place the property values are really dropping. Northpark mall is looking like the Metrocenter did in 2000...

Those in Ridgeland east should take note and get out while your homes still have some value.

Whole Foods Sushi? That is surprising

C IS for Cherokee. Won't stop me one bit. Bring on them wings, pizza, club, burger, Cherokee po-boy, roast beef, and on and on and on.

When I counted 5 fast food chicken restaurants within a half-mile radius of the intersection of Ridgewood and County Line Rd, I knew where things were going.

You are really stupid.

So let's go to Madison. Within a half mile to a mile is CFA, KFC, and Popeyes. Same thing in Brandon where Hwy 80 meets Crossgates. Want me to name more cities and hit for the cycle?

I bet you think those areas are all going down to, don't you? Probably not because they are white in your eyes.

I wish you had a like button on here.

Sorry Kingfish, but us Madison residents that have lived our whole lives there are definitely aware that it is going down hill. Ever go to the Madison justice court? To say the demographics have drastically changed is an under statement. Our walmart is far from safe now as well.

Much like Ridgeland, as more and more Jackson residents move to Madison, they bring their ways with them.

Reaping what you've sewn at this point KF.

You go, Kingfish!

Even criminals prefer a safe, clean, environment with fashionable building codes.

To 9:17 & 9:41, I've lived in Ridgeland pretty much all of my life! Yes we do have an abundance of Mexicans, but they're just in one part of Ridgeland, and so what?! Do you hate a little diversity? It shouldn't even matter what color or nationality they are! Sure Highland Elementary is a D, & Ridgeland High is a C, and there a lot of Blacks here now as well. But I guess most of you don't even bother to look at the Ridgeland arrest record when it comes out every week in the Madison County Journal! Because most of the crimes committed in Ridgeland is contempt of court, marijuana arrests that wouldn't even be if they would just go ahead and legalize the damn shit, & it's shoplifting in various places in town. Every now and then you see domestic violence-simple assault, but other than that there isn't anything further! You're only saying Ridgeland is going down because it isn't all White like it used to be! It's just like Northeast Jackson, it isn't all White anymore so you ignorant people come on here and say it's going down! Wow.

0705: What's is your problem with Drago's? Please expand if you can.

'sure highland elementary is a D, & Ridgeland high is a C'

Thanks for proving my point for me. These were top tier schools (for Mississippi) just ten years ago. Fewer and fewer middle class families are moving to Ridgeland, because the schools aren't worth a damn. Ridgeland is quickly headed down the path of northeast Jackson.

And you think your illegal neighbors will stay in just one part of town?

Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to belittle Ridgeland. The whole State is f*cked.

ever wait tables? if you have, then you know what is wrong at Drago's Hard to make a living not getting tips.

Drago's also has a nasty kitchen. Ask anybody who has ever been in it. Also they have an unsanitary cleaning procedure for the grill.

And speaking of Madison, if Mary has her way, Popeyes will be gone ass gone. It's a joint. Not sure exactly what keeps caps from being popped in the parking lot. Same with Burger King. If places like that continue to creep in, Madison will melt well between Canton and Ridgeland.

And King is wrong for lumping Chick Fil A in with greasy chicken joints.

If Dragos ever stops giving discounts to city of Jacktown employees, they'll go belly up. The first month they were open you could hardly park for all the white cars with Jacktown painted across the rocker panel. Look around if you go in that place.

Dear Standin':

How about some more information?
And 3:37, been there all times of the day. I'll be damned if I haven't seen those cars.

"Not sure exactly what keeps caps from being popped in the parking lot. Same with Burger King."

Even for Burger King it's got poorly prepared food, but in 15 years of driving by the place I've never seen or heard of any violence there.

10:28; perhaps you heard of the two times employees were involved in robbing the place. Or the time the guy hid out in the woods back behind the Texaco after leaving there with a bag of cash. Maybe in the next 15 years you'll pay closer attention.

A helicopter search was involved in one of those Madison Burger King heists. Cops were all over the intersection of 463 and Highland Colony intersection with at least one helicopter overhead.

But.....10:28 ain't seen nuttin'.

Soulshine in the Township sucks, it is hot, poorly managed, dirty, expensive, and the hostesses could give a shit if you live or die.

10:28 here

I used the word "violence" - complainers raise the issue of theft (and an inside, employee-run job at that).

I was thinking about the shooting at the McDonald's on 51 in Madison a few years ago. Much more worrisome than an inside job theft to me.

Don't worry folks. Since Madison is a college town now with JSU, I'm sure incidents described at 8:18 will decrease.

10:28 and 8:18; This thread is about restaurant quality which translates to service. Inside employee thefts are much more likely to affect product and service (and wind you up on the "C" list) than somebody poppin' a cap in the parking area once in forty years.

Just admit you weren't aware of any of this and move along.......

Wow, this blog is pretty entertaining...looks to me like the white flight has a few leaders...shame on you all!

I own three inspected locations and two are in Mad Co. They had a very competent inspector but he retired. There is a new inspector...very young and sullen who is killing restaurants for minor infractions. About half of these places shouldn't b here but if u work for government it doesn't matter does it?
