Jackson Jambalaya

A fine plan. Wut we gone do 'bout de roaches?

If I'm lyin', I'm dyin'!

WHOMP!

Ehhhh.......no

Suddenly everybody is all worried about their health when dining at a fried everything establishment

That made my day! Thanks

11:31 bingo! Can you image the comments on this page if the establishment were in Jackson?

The last time we were there in March, we were served by a 15-year-old looking kid who couldn’t answer simple questions about the menu. Ownership has clearly taken a hands-off approach and has benefited from the unwavering loyalty of “healthy” Mississippians. A downfall was inevitable.

Notice wherever you go out to eat you see the small boxes that contain rat poison in flower beds or along the walls. Water front places and ditches do attract more than usual. A fired employee started this and the health department should have written them up prior to this news event so yes lets give them a second chance.

And a loyal JJer such as yourself would reliably be here to read and probably even comment.

Catfish with a rat based sauce isn't bad.

I have a friend who got permanently banned about 5 years ago. He tried to slip in by boat about a year later, and they told him to stay in the boat.

As someone in the foodservice field who goes to numerous restaurant kitchens locally, this is on the inspectors. They don’t do their job at all. This kitchen has been horrible for years. If people got to see the kitchens of their fav spots around here, they would be mortified. We have by far the worst, most neglected and unsanitary places in the metro. They could all be fixed with proper enforcement.

No last time I ate there it was expensive and awful. I’ll never go back.

There are fairly large numbers of posters who spend inordinate amounts of time dutifully walking their domineering wives' rat terriers or their canine cousins. Maybe both could get a renewed sense of purpose in life by assisting down at the COW. Just wipe off the blood and floss the little mouse bones out of Fluffy's mouth before you return to the House of Henpecking.

I went a few weeks ago for the first time in years. Service was terrible., as was the food. The African American tables received as much attention as they could possibly ask for. My table was the wrong color. Decided I’d never go back before the rat video came out.

I used to do some work in grocery stores. If you're the squeamish sort, I would recommend not going in the butcher shop or produce areas of your local grocery either.

We had a bad experience as well. Their signature cornbread was terrible. We had to ask repeatedly to even get cornbread. The fish was definitely not as good as I remembered. As expensive as dining out is these days, we probably won’t be back unless we hear glowing reviews.

12:58 use your deductive reasoning skills. Why would inspectors, knowing it was like this, give them a pass?

Rats and cockroaches have to eat too.

Capitalism will run its course and they’ll be out of business soon enough.

Y'all just think of how much worse this would've been had it been in Jackson!

The rats would be so big, they could've formed their own labor union!

They can fix whatever they want to in that restaurant, but we won't be back. The last time we went, the place was sooooo NASTY. The food wasn't good and the service was piss poor at best. Prior to ordering & looking around at how nasty it was in there, we almost got up and left. Looking back, should have saved our money & left before ordering.

According to their FB page they reopened today 11am! Insane!

Give them the benefit that they closed to re-group! All restaurants need to close and re-group at least quarterly! If you think it’s an isolated incident at only this eatery! Go to your favorite any night but carry a baseball bat and a net!

Tough way to earn a living, period.

" before you return to the House of Henpecking"

That henpecking ain't bad, neighbor, if you like the hen doing the pecking.

"12:58 use your deductive reasoning skills. Why would inspectors, knowing it was like this, give them a pass"

Hmmmm - I can't think of a possible reason that would happen. I'm sure a foreign concept such as, um, er, bribery couldn't possibly exist in Da 'Sip........

@1:42

We stopped years ago for the same reason AND the horrible atmosphere.

I’m going to deviate from the negative comments. Wife and I ate at the Cock of the Walk about three weeks ago. It was somewhat crowded but we were seated quickly. Service was prompt and professional. Catfish was as good as always. Slaw was excellent and the cornbread was good. Although we weren’t treated to the toss. We have no problem with returning when they reopen. FYI, also recently dined at an “upscale” restaurant in Flowood. Saw mouse/rat bait and traps on the walkways nearby and witnessed a roach crawling up the wall near my table. Did I moan and complain? No, and I’ll probably go back there when convenient. It would scare the hell out of you to visit the kitchen of some of your favorite restaurants.

5:34 all I can say is more power to ya… be sure and clean your plate.

"Hawww ... shoot that thang!"


In his own words, Jerry Clower always proclaimed himself as an ambassador for Mississippi State University.

He was indeed correct .

LOL

for 45 years that was the money-est making restaurant in central mississippi

I worked for 2 years at the mega-Kroger in Madison. I was in the produce dept. right next to the meat cooler.

Never saw a rat. Never saw a roach. You could eat off the floors in the storage/coolers each night.

Pick your favorite restaurant. Visit the kitchen. You’ll never eat there again.

At least the wait at COW shouldn’t be as bad now.

TOO FUNNY!

COW has been dirty for years. Go to Berry’s in Magee or Florence. You can look directly into the kitchen and see how clean it is and how your food is cooked. And absolutely no infestation.

The last time I went in there I vowed it was my last time as well. It just felt "washed up", pun intended. One thing that has always bothered me is all the damn geese from the reservoir just shitting all over the place outside. I wish PRVWSD would do something about them. They shit literally all over everything around the reservoir. However PRVWSD is too worried about generating revenue from parking in the grass at boat ramps or giving out tickets for not getting a free permit below the dam, when they are always out of free permits.

Amen to the geese comment.....they are everywhere and are not regulated by extinction or some other method....they are even protected by law even though they are nasty creatures!!!!

Shame that it was allowed to dwindle down to this condition. I was a vendor to the previous owner and managers. It was a clean and well-run establishment, and it was a fun place to take out of town visitors for Mississippi catfish. Hoping it can recover.

11;36 makes a very good point about those stinking canada geese.

in the summertime those things can carry salmonella bacteria.

they are plain filthy.

i constantly see children swimming on that little sand beach at bobby cleveland park in rainkin county after those geese have been crapping all over it.

just another example of the total incompetence of the unelected administrators who run the PRVWSD .

the PRVWSD is not a city, not a county, but a stinking administrative agency created by the legislature `. remember administrative agencies exist only for the purpose of allowing politicians to hand out high paying , do nothing jobs to their cronies.

those canada geese that shit all over the place are in fact waterfowl that are protected by federal law however there is a procedure for the PRVWSD ro apply for a permit with the united states fish and wildlife service to control their numbers .

however that would require the unelected supervisors of the PRVWSD to get off the fat asses and do something about the problem,and that is not going to happen anytime soon.

in summer months those things carry salmonella bacteria in their crap and salmonella infection can kill a young child or the elderly.

10 :52 is right, and they also carry e-coli
