Scrooge's Fine Foods Drink - Jackson

Classic local diner with a bar. I go for lunch and enjoy the food. Very popular with the old timers who have likely gone for years and prefer sitdown service, not fast food.

Honestly, I don't see how this place is still in business. For starters if you've never eaten here before, the signage from the street is so small unless you have GPS you won't see it and then you have to park in the back...really? Then once you get inside, the seating is sooo close you have to dang near whisper so other customers won't be able to hear your conversation. The booth where we sat, the table was screeching when we moved it to try and sit down and it was a very tight squeeze. The waitress was friendly and attentive. I ordered the small red beans and rice with sausage and my friend ordered the pot roast with mashed potatoes and we both had side salads. As you can see in the picture, they only gave me one side of a sausage, who does that? There was absolutely no taste or seasoning on the beans or rice. I requested that my sausage be burnt but it wasn't. They charged $2.50 for an extra sausage which was bigger than what was initially given with the meal but did include both sides of sausage but was not cooked as well as the first piece. The cornbread provided with the meal was as big as my 2 hands put together but again it had no taste. The salad was simply iceberg lettuce, cucumbers, and grape tomatoes with watered down ranch dressing. My friend's pot roast had the consistency of refried beans but was chocolate in color so not appealing or tasty in any way. We finished our salads but not our meals.

Scrooges is a great place to meet friends for lunch or dinner. The food is great, and the wait staff are very friendly and at tentative. Plus the menu has a variety of selections at decent prices.
