Leaving Jackson, MS
It’s been 8 years or so since I was in Jackson but the Fondren was a cool, up and coming area with great restaurants. Brent’s Diner, where the help was filmed, is also there and a cool throwback. They had a speakeasy in the back too.

Good listing of Fondren restaurants.
I went to the outlet malls a lot too but that was more because I was bored and like to shop 😂
Madison was a nice suburb with a handful of shops.
Best Buffalo Wild Wings I’ve ever been to and I have a decent sample size
As a former Jacksonian: civil rights museum, shopping/eating in the Fondren area. Relaxing time at the reservoir. The food is surprisingly amazing (look at Aladdin, green ghost tacos, pizza shack, Thai time, edo) There are a few good casual bars - fenians, George street - and after hours blues club (f jones corner) - mostly locals there.
So I was there for a family thing a few years ago and I really enjoyed fenians pub. I will say be careful of the roads—lots of crazy bubbles in the road due to some volcano under the city. No joke!
Work trip i’m hoping?
Maybe there is an Applebees to party at there 😁
There is, in fact, an Applebees.
Most enjoyable thing I’ve done there is call a taxi to the airport
Had family live there for a decade. Echo Fondren, Ridgeland (outdoor mall), Mr. Chen’s (great Chinese food)…otherwise…yea, slim pickings 😂
Mississippian here- Fondren is really the only nice place to eat. The civil rights museum is nice. If you have a car, Vicksburg and Natchez are both nice daytrips.
There's not too much to do there but NOLA is a quick 2 hour drive if you have a car! Biloxi and Vicksburg are two other good daytrips if you have a car. Local options include going to Fondren and reservoir
Lol at the comments. My boyfriend wants us to visit but I don’t want to waste a vacation on that.
