Shapley's Restaurant - Since 1985, Shapley's Restaurant has set the standard for fine dining in the Jackson area. Although we are well known for having the finest steaks in town, customers also choose Shapley's for its fresh seafood, intimate bar area, and award-winning wine list. Sal and Mookie's New York Pizza and Ice Cream Joint - We start with home-made, hand-tossed pizza dough and are topped with the finest whole milk mozzarella cheese and Italian imported plum tomatoes. We bake each pie slowly in brick-lined, gas-fired deck ovens the old fashioned way. Aladdin Mediterranean Grill - For a taste of the Mediterranean, head to this small but kitschy restaurant and see what the fuss is all about. This restaurant brings together delicious Mediterranean authentic dishes, made from scratch, and a fusion of culture and cuisine that is a feast for your eyes, as well as your plate.
