The Manship Wood Fired Kitchen: A Culinary Gem in Jackson, MS

So out of my travels across the country, this has easily been one of my top 5 experiences. First and foremost, our server, Joe, made this a wonderful experience for all of us. If everyone worked like this man, the world would be a better, and much more entertaining place. 1. The food- the smoked wings and the charcuterie board were fantastic. Perfectly cooked and displayed with expert skill. Then for our entrées, the fried oysters, Philly cheese steak pizza, vegetable pizza, and the salmon salad; they were fantastic. They were clearly made by a chef who knows their ingredients and is an expert in their craft. Then finally, the dessert, a slice of pecan pie, which was crisp, fluffy, and perfectly cooked. 2. Service; so again, back to Joe. He was attentive, entertaining, polite, and knowledgeable about the menu and drinks. If they get a few more of him on staff, they'll be in business forever. As a veteran of the service industry myself, my hat's off to you. 3. The atmosphere is impressive. While is simple, it clearly surpasses the rest of the local eateries and diners in Jackson. The music is appropriate and at just the perfect volume for you to have a conversation or just sit and enjoy your meal in peace. Overall, this is one of my rare perfect reviews. If you're in Jackson and you don't stop here, you're missing out.

I got the grilled salmon with spinach for the meal and apple pie a la mode. Everything was perfect. I was promptly seated inside. Service was quick. The price was a bit high in my opinion.

Delicious food and great service. We had charbroiled oysters and fried green tomatoes for snacks that were AMAZING! We had pecan cobbler for dessert that was sooooooo delicious! Our server was so attentive, we had a great experience!

If you like bourbon, this is an approved bourbon distributor. Our waitress Tamika was amazing. I took my parents and my family, to celebrate here for my mother’s birthday. She turned 60 this weekend. The food was fantastic. The kids pizza is legit a pizza that can feed three children lol I order the salmon with spinach, my son had a cheese pizza, my wife had the veggie pizza, my father had the blackened catfish, and my mother had regular catfish, both with fries Highly recommend the dessert with pecans and ice cream. And it is worth it. I highly recommend this place !

I recently dined at this fantastic restaurant and was thoroughly impressed by the culinary offerings. The salmon was cooked to perfection—flaky, flavorful, and utterly satisfying—while the Brussels sprouts were a delightful complement, roasted to a delectable crispness that enhanced their natural sweetness. To start, we indulged in the focaccia, accompanied by a rich olive oil blend that was simply divine. Each bite was a harmonious blend of textures and flavors, making it a must-try for any bread lover. Overall, this restaurant exceeded my expectations with its exquisite dishes and warm ambiance. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience!

The service was the highlight of our visit — attentive and friendly throughout. Unfortunately, the food didn’t live up to the high price point. For nearly $200 for two people, I expected much better quality. My steak arrived cold — so much so that the butter on top wouldn’t even melt — and the duck breast was mostly fat. The cocktails were just okay, nothing memorable. While the staff did a great job, the food and pricing definitely need improvement.

I discovered The Manship thanks to Resy and American Express. The location is very convenient, inside of a major hospital complex and is quite popular with the doctors, nurses and medical staff from the buildings. Parking was easy, and there was no wait to be seated. Happy hour can get very busy at the bar. Prices are fairly reasonable and the cocktails were fantastic food was delicious with excellent flavor. The staff was friendly and attentive. Easily the best restaurant in the neighborhood and area. Classy and good atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Had dinner with some coworkers. This place has a nice open atmosphere with spacious seating. Our server was helpful and friendly. I ordered the tuna and a pizza. The food came out fast and tasted amazing. They also have a huge drink menu.
