Jackson Jambalaya

Good food but horrible service doomed them from us ever returning

This is a place that I have seen for decades and never stepped foot in.

What did I miss?

Horne is making a difference. The last few days news really show it!

The famous Thames family always provided quality gumbo, RB&R, and Po-Boy sandwiches, but more importantly: a genuine smile and a greeting upon entering either location: the old one near Colonial CC, or this last one up on Old Canton Road in Ridgeland. Oh how we all miss John, but his dear wife kept things going quite well, you WILL BE MISSED!
So now, where will all those regular diners, those MSU characters go?

Another Business in the metro bites the dust. RIP

The Thames are stand up people. Godspeed!

Have lived in Madison for 25 years and never heard of this place. I eat out frequently. Was it good?

I admittedly did not go there as often as I should have. Fantastic RB&R, better than decent gumbo (which is pretty damn good for this area), and overstuffed Poboys. The old location was more of an atmosphere but the Thames are really good people and I hate this for them.

Very.

Madison is crumbling Next!

10.09- Fat Tuesday’s is not a fast food restaurant which maybe is your genre’. Fat Tuesday is a family restaurant with wonderful food & staff. Almost like being at home. John, now deceased, wife Nita and son Wade, plus Paco made the place special. We will miss it as will many many loyal followers. I’m going to get my order of gumbo in asap.

@10:19 Horne is running Madison County restaurants out of business??

I always liked eating there. Both the food and atmosphere were enjoyable. I hate to see it close.

Horhn* and what is one man going to accomplish in three months after decades of retarded leadership? Can you please for the love of God shut up and give the man a chance? He has NOTHING to work with and ALL of the problems in the world to face. My gosh you pessimists are insufferable.

I could never tell if it was open or not. Every time I drove by it looked dismal over there.

Been eating here for 25 years, since we were in high school. The Thames are genuinely good people. Just an old-school, family run restaurant that will be missed.

10:09 I'm sure you were not missed. Yes, really good food AND service.

It was the only place ANYWHERE around that you could get Jambalaya (after Pot and Paddle closed), and even then it was only available at lunch on Thursdays. It was absolutely amazing. Last time we went they had swapped it out for Chicken and Dumplings though. :( The New Orleans Grill in Clinton does some weird ass deconstructed Jambalaya. Hard pass even though their Crawfish Eggrolls are top notch.

The wording makes it sound like they could be moving to a different location. I hope this is the case! Love this place!

Their yelp reviews are hilarious. Sure, they were written by Obama loving democrats, but they are so outrageous, it’s funny. Never underestimate how evil an offended democrat is.

@12:54-I agree with 100% of what you said. They have a loyal following. I will miss them and yes it always felt like home,
