We met friends here for lunch and it was delicious! My husband had the grilled Tilapia and I had the vegetable plate. He said the fish was the best he ever ate and my vegetable plate was very good. The staff was very friendly. I would highly recommend Char. One thing to note, it is higher than other lunch places... More

We tried Char because of the very positive TripAdvisor reviews and the convenient location just off Interstate -55 in north Jackson near where we were visiting. I had read about their crab cakes, so that was our starter...wow, that alone would have made the evening special! Two very large "cakes" barely bound together because there was no filler, no breading,... More

Mother's Day, Sunday brunch was outstanding from the wait staff to the food. The selections are varied so no one is disappointed. We had the blackfish which was excellent even compared to the restaurants in my home of Naples, FL. Daughter had the chicken and waffles also an excellent dish. When in Jackson again this is a must for me.... More

What I really appreciate about Char, in addition to the well-prepared food, is the excellent service. The service makes you feel special. A great place to go for a special occasion. I am never disappointed when I go to Char.

This is a great restaurant: first, the "no-filler" crab meat was the best crab meat I've ever had, but the shrimp and grits were also lovely as an appetizer. Entrees tasted: duck breast with raspberry sauce, blackened redfish, black fish encrusted with pecans, and scallops with chipotle and cheese grits. We were served by Jody, who knew the dishes intimately... More

I have to admit I was a bit put off by their high prices, but their quality is extremely high, proving you get what you pay for.

Went there for dinner, had ex- governor Ronnie Musgrove open door for us. Good first impression. Great atmosphere, great food , great Service, but pricey. Had hamburger and my guest had salmon. Both were great. Burger was $18

I enjoyed a great supper here last night. As expected the Valentine Day crowd was present but the staff, clad in white jackets and ties, were handling things efficiently. This is a lovely restaurant that I look forward to a return visit when I am in the neighborhood. Food is fantastic.
