Rafferty's Restaurant & Bar

As we enter, you feel the warm welcome right away, very cordial. The waiter was young but passionate of his work. Very helpful with the recommendations and very honest. Unlike others servers, this young man gave his personal opinion of the food, be it good or bad. This is my 3rd day in Jackson, TN and I am finally feeling that I am in TN due to the ambiance of the restaurant, dark wood flooring and brick wall. On top of that, of course the food! No kidding, one of the best chicken salad I ever had, paired with their bacon/potato soup!! One of my faves.

I haven't been to Rafferty's in a while, but I really enjoyed their chicken salad with their croissant. It was full of flavor and the croissant always provides a nice touch. The ribs were pretty tender and their french fries were good as well. I would have like them to be more crispy. The club was great with the house made honey mustard The service was decent, but the place was pretty clean.

Great food and the service at the bar is great as well. The adult beverages are good and cold.

Great service foe the "to go" call in orders. They were ready in less than 15 minutes. They have a separate side door for the to go orders The food was fresh and hot and service was great! They even give a 15% discount for veterans which was nice

The food is always good when I visit this establishment. I especially love their potato soup and club sandwiches. The service is always good and assertive. If I need anything that make it possible. The atmosphere is laid back and I always feel comfortable. This location also has a happy hour which is from 4-7. I don't like that the margaritas are not on happy hour, and they could add some appetizers to the happy hour.

Although we've had some really bad experiences at this Rafferty's in recent years, we've recently returned due to preferences of members of our family. A while back, on one visit, I ordered grilled pork chops, which were terrible. The only detectable taste was a burnt taste. Today, we decided to try it once again, and I ordered a ribeye steak - which is very hard to mess up! Well, they managed to make it taste like charcoal - similar to the pork chops!! The texture of the steak also was poor. Anyone knows that a ribeye steak should be very tender, juicy - and tasty!! The person who cooked this steak must have missed the memo! Perhaps it was the same person who ruined the pork chops a while back!! To their credit, my wife had the potato/bacon soup, which she said was very tasty. It seems that it would be much more difficult to make tasty soup than a tasty steak - but, perhaps, the soup comes out of a can or the freezer!! I've told my wife that this was our last visit!! Poor quality of food, combined with rather high prices, doesn't deserve our business!! At one time, quite a few years ago, this was not the case here at all. What a shame!!!!

Great prime rib, Rolls to die for. What a nice place when in the mood for MEAT. Service outstanding and friendly

Our family visited here several weeks ago for the first time and it was a great experience with Autumn (hope that is correct) as our server. She was fantastic and we sat near the bar. The food was great, the service was perfect. Fast forward to yesterday, and it was the complete opposite. First, we ordered the battered mushrooms and for some reason, we waited, and waited and waited and ... well you get the point. Finally, somebody came out and apologized for the delay. They said our first order was overcooked and burnt and so we were told the oil was being replaced we'll get a fresh order. You would think at this point, they would have said, "Hey, we'll comp the shrooms" but that wasn't the case. Next, we finally get the rest of the food and it was just okay. The salmon was way over cooked. The potatoes were mushy and bland. We also ordered dessert (Apple Crumble) and it was very good. However, multiple times, they (the runner and the server) simply left all of our empty plates on the table as they brought the desert. They had three chances to at least remove some of the used dishes however I guess that's how it goes. Our drinks weren't refilled. Our server at first was attentive and then that stopped. I'm just so confused. Rafferty's is now at a score of 1-1. Do we go back and give them another try or simply go elsewhere... Note: this is our experience and your time there may differ.

Great food, great service and friendly towards service animals. If you can't tell I love the Mushrooms.

I always enjoy going to Rafferty's no matter which location they are all consistently good and I love their fries. They always give you a plate full of fries.thanks.
