Jackson Jambalaya

Seafood Buffett… Yea that’s not gonna work out there.

The Madison location was very disappointing. No hibachi fires or green butter. High prices because the rent is too high.

They got crab legs? Because if they have crab legs, I'm not going. I don't want to get trapped between patrons slugging it out over crab legs. A lot of restaurants have knockdown drag-out fisticuffs over crab legs.

The same patronage that kills all Jackson restaurants will kill this one as well.

Blackrock deliberate destroyed Red Lobster as an American icon....Cracker Barrell is next.

Madison had a Red Lobster?

Yes to a crab-leg buffet IN JACKSON! And rent boxing gloves like bowling alleys rent shoes.

Yea. No thanks. Watching morbidly obese people waddling back and forth to the line ruins what little appetite I have.

The first location Red Lobster had was on the Frontage road across from DeVille Plaza and that’s where my wife and I would go many times when we were dating in the 80’s. The place was great back then. It brings back a lot of good memories but as things change all we have are memories. I’m thankful I have good positive memories of places like that when Jackson was great.

There's plenty of crabs in Jackson already

These things, put in these locations, are equivalent to food plots.

KF could set up a webcam to livestream the action.

"Miniature livestock" as Corporal Klinger described on M*A*S*H.

Well remember standing in long, long lines at Red Lobster after the games at Memorial Stadium in a prior century. Shakey's Pizza Parlor before the games and The Lobster after the games.

Park wherever you could find a curb to jump before the game, in the neighborhoods north of the stadium, leave the doors unlocked, maybe even a window down.

The morbidly obese buffet lunch crowd killed off all the great Chinese restaurants.

Works down in Florence (Berry's not Jerry's). Worked at Bo Don's.

A "seafood" place with no oysters deserves to die.

Patronized the Red Lobster in Memphis many years before Jackson had one. Great good and atmosphere. Went to the Jackson location a few weeks before it closed, and felt like I could do better with Mrs. Paul's frozen entrees from Kroger.

Coming from Hattiesburg to Jackson for college football games in the early 1980s we usually ate at the frontage road Red Lobster and it became somewhat of a gameday dining tradition. We’d say “if only we had a Red Lobster in Hattiesburg” and yet when Red Lobster eventually opened a location in the Hub City I think we might have eaten there twice at most. Now that location is home to a Korean hot pot restaurant.

Watch those imported shrimp. If they glow in the dark it might be the radiation in them

Is this even connected to the existing Little Tokyos in the area?

@ 7:25: put your glasses on. The sign says Little Tokyo. There’s a new Little Tokyo in Madison and it’s not the same as Little Tokyo in Ridgeland.

10:10 - Try Mr. Chen's (5465 I-55 Frontage Road, Jackson). It's not a buffet and the Mongolian Beef is to die for.

Like a moth to a porch light... I'll pass.
