Jackson Restaurants & Nightclubs

Bully’s Restaurant
DESCRIPTION: Don’t let the outside shack fool you. The food is worth waiting for. “They set me up with the beef tips and rice with a side of sweet potato yams and collard greens. We had fried chicken, catfish, turkey necks, fried green tomatoes, fried corn, cabbage, cornbread mac n’ cheese, gravy, black eyed peas, corn bread, and an order of chitterlings. Since many delicious items on the menu are cooked while you wait, prepare to wait or ask when to expect your order. Bully’s stands tall, as a 2 generation dive that serves solid down-home cooking. The oxtails are tender and hearty, the neckbones and pigs feet offer huge rewards to people brave enough to go old-school, and sides like fried corn, okra & tomato stew, and fried green tomatoes are the stuff of Delta legend.
