Had a date night here and everything was amazing! The food- from the house made bread to garlic shrimp and catfish to strawberry cheesecake for dessert,- service and atmosphere. It’s no surprise when you meet Beth Broussard, the chef, and her mother, Mary Broussard. The family clearly has a passion for their business and it shows through every aspect of their restaurant. Highly recommend!

The best restaurant and bakery in Mississippi! The food is absolutely delicious (I highly recommend the Apple Turnovers) and the customer service is impeccable; from the moment you walk in until you leave, you are treated kindly and not as a number. I really appreciate that each food item is prepared with care; Chef Beth and the staff here is the best!

Magnifique!!! This cozy hotel lobby is the only place to go for a quiet moment with your standard coffee . No more hotel but the lobby is, well, wow. Feels like you stepped in the future of the past. All while enjoying scones, or the apple Danish. Just amazing taste.

Was in town visiting and had to try out their new bakery. The shop has a nice vibe and there was cool some artwork going up on the wall. I got a loaf of bread for myself and some goodies to gift my family. They also have some savory take and bakes from their restaurant. Glad I checked them out! Will be back, it's a great place for a sweat treat, or to grab a few as a gift.

Love all the old detail of the building, food was scrumptious and well portioned, owner is the chef and she is also the one that takes your order...truly unique and wonderful experience.

AMAZING! I have visited J. Broussards a few times, and it is always a treat. It is an intimate establishment with friendly service and individual care (the chef takes your order!). The food itself is spectacular; her chicken schnitzel is honestly the best chicken I have ever tasted. Paired with their extensive wine selection and their house-made desserts, you can’t go wrong! The menu changes fairly regularly.

Beth is a talented chef, and always accommodating. Family owned, great food, and the perfect place for a nice date or get together. I can't say enough good things about this place.

My wife and I went here for the first time to celebrate our anniversary. What a pleasant surprise to such a great place. We have been disappointed in so many "great restaurants" that we never know what to expect. This is a small family owned restaurant that strives for excellence.
