OMG!!!!! Great food! I don’t usually write reviews but I’ve been goin here almost two weeks now and I’m in Love and the Oxtails!!!!!! Yes lord!

Meatloaf, greens, macaroni and cheese & cornbread. This was my first time here saw it on TikTok. But the meatloaf was a little salty for my taste but the greens and macaroni and cheese and cornbread was good. The staff was very nice and it was packed inside. I'll be back its hard to find places that serve good vegetables. I'll try the famous chicken next time.

Whew! This is some finger licking good food! Everything was delicious and it all looked and smelled great. The ladies are so sweet and they don’t rush you at all so you may have to wait.! Definitely have to come back!

A friend of mine eats here most days of week. I decided to visit and was very impressed with service and soul food. There was an elderly AA lady in the kitchen and that’s in itself meant the food was DELICIOUS!! They were very clean and wore hair nets etc. The restaurant is very spacious with plenty of seating. They play all genres of music. I absolutely love the atmosphere but didn’t have time to sit and eat my food. But will go back in future. There is plenty of free parking as you enter off Boling street. I love the color of restaurant which means you can’t miss it. If you are traveling through Jackson and are near Interstate 220, it’s very close and worth the slight detour off I-20. I highly recommend this SOUL FOOD restaurant!!

Found out about Rosie Mae’s when we were heading back to Memphis while being in Jackson for a family reunion. Definitely didn’t disappoint. The yams, greens, catfish, Mac, oxtails. Everything was great.

This is the best soul food in Jackson. The food is fresh, the people are kind and the service is great! Grab you a plate and listen to Aretha while you wait!

When we walked in the vibe is on and popping just like the food. Everyone was so very nice. Thanking Rosie Mae’s all the way from the Mississippi Gulfcoast

Lemme just tell yall. The Lord had to give me strength. They had me feeling like they had dug my grandmama up outta her grave and had her throwin down up in that kitchen. Those turkey wings were perfectly seasoned and moist. The collards and squash were outstanding, but that doggone dressin' stole the show. That's the one that really had me gone. ANNNNNNND I MEAN IT REEEEEEALY HAD ME IN MY FEELINS. Don't sleep on that peach cobbler either (it's from da devil) I actually went 3 days during that week Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday. Turkey necks and ox tails were in deck those days and all I'm gonna say is...get there and try all of it. I drive well over 20 miles to go there...from right by Northwesr Rankin High School. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. Reasonable prices too...Milton
