Estelle Southern Table

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Modern Take on the Southern Table

Estelle Southern Table in Jackson, Mississippi, is built around a simple but ambitious idea: celebrate the bounty of the region, the craft of hospitality, and what the restaurant itself calls "the joys of everyday luxury." The result is a warm, convivial dining room where soulful, modern American cuisine moves between elegantly reimagined classics and large-format communal feasts — the kind of place that feels equally right for a weekday lunch or a long Saturday brunch.

What's on the Table

The menus read like a love letter to the Mississippi Delta and the Gulf Coast, grounded in recognizable Southern staples but never timid about reaching further. Gulf Shrimp and Grits arrives with smoked Gouda grits, a tomato-okra stew, and crispy tasso. The Mississippi Catfish Plate pairs fried buttermilk catfish with cornbread and honey-pecan butter. A Chargrilled Filet comes topped with pimento cheese au gratin — a quietly bold move that captures the restaurant's personality in a single dish.

The wood-fired oven adds another dimension, producing pizzas like the Delta Supreme — pimento cheese, mozzarella, fried green tomato, andouille, and arugula — that are distinctly of this place. Brunch extends the same spirit, from a Fried Green Tomato Stack loaded with smoked brisket and chipotle aioli to Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with blueberry gastrique.

The Lounge and the Wine List

The lounge runs its own show: an energetic, craft-cocktail-forward space with house expressions that lean into local identity. The Mississippi Mule uses Cathead Vodka — a Mississippi-made spirit — while the Magnolia Negroni swaps in praline liqueur for a Southern inflection on the classic. The wine program, globally curated and broad enough to earn Wine Spectator's Award of Excellence, gives the list real range and credibility, whether you're drinking by the glass or exploring the full selection.

The Full Day

Estelle runs from early morning through late evening, covering breakfast, lunch, brunch on weekends, and dinner daily — making it one of the more versatile American dining destinations in Jackson. The events program extends that hospitality further, with catering, private parties, and exclusive hire options that bring the same Southern table ethos to larger gatherings.
