Review Crechale's Restaurant - Jackson

We have eaten at Crechales since we were both young kids & enjoy taking our own girls now. Food is so delicious that we always leave way too full. I get the broiled scallops or stuffed shrimp because no other restaurant can come close to me on those. Their steak is prime beef so my husband always chooses it. Large portions & great, friendly service! We end up leaving with a bottle of the best comeback sauce too every time. Can’t recommend this nostalgic place enough, especially if it’s for a birthday!

This is the best food I have had in a while. The steak is perfectly seasoned and cooked. The seafood platter and jumbo shrimp are fresh as you can get and are perfectly cooked and all the food is hot. The atmosphere it great and the service is great. We will definitely come again and I highly highly recommend it.

This place is amazing! The whole staff is super friendly, they are funny, and the owner, Mr. Bob is one of the nicest people I’ve met in the jackson area. The stuffed shrimp is amazing! The onion rings are crispy and delicious, and their house sauce is the best comeback sauce I’ve had- and you can buy some to take home! Go have your next date night here. The retro cafe with a jukebox is like taking a step back in time.

Wonderful dinner! The way seafood is supposed to be served.

Friendly Staff, Little Dark , the food was delicious, the music was on point, I was very pleased...

Horrible food and service. Place is a dump. These were not prime steaks. $$$$$ don’t bother

This was our first time here based on rave reviews of locals and packed parking lot whenever we drive by . . . has to be good right? Sorry but from the near-dark lighting, cramped table for three people and obviously short-handed wait staff that took forever to take an order, the visit started out on a negative. My wife wanted the stuffed crab cakes and was told they had no stuffing tonight so all the stuffed items were off the menu. I opted for spaghetti and meatballs (pretty hard to mess that up) as I am not a big seafood person and the veal was also not available. She asked what sides I wanted and offered fries or a baked potato – for spaghetti? When I said neither she said I could have a double salad which was never brought when the other person in the party said I could have his. So pay for it but don’t get it was the motto. When the food arrived, the waitress did not clear the salad plates (now empty) and simply squeezed the food amongst the dirty dishes. She said that the spaghetti was home made . . . don’t buy it. My wife looked at the meatballs and said they were frozen that had been reheated (based on shape and color) and the spaghetti was swimming in water as they had not drained it. After waiting for the waitress to return and not seeing her, I tried to eat it and got in about 3 or 4 bites. When everyone else was done, she came by and asked if I wanted a to go box. If a waitress sees a plate virtually untouched, you would think she would ask if there was something wrong. I had to call her back and point out the issue – her response was that they could drain it and that was it . . . we were done so draining it was not an option 30 minutes after it had been delivered. For $23, it had to have been the worst dish of spaghetti I had ever had even at half the price – IHOP would have been a better option. My wife’s dinner was acceptable but not anything she wanted to go back again for. Overall we found the place to be overpriced, under lit and short staffed. The owner was walking around but I guess once you place your order, he knows to avoid the table. Another local legend that time seems to have passed by . . . glad they remain busy but from someone that travels a good deal and has eaten at a number of top-notch local restaurants, Crechele’s misses the mark for us by a long shot.

Loved the history of this place, the owner has an incredible memory of people and faces. Food was good and atmosphere was great. They follow Covid rules and regulations
