If nostalgia had a flavor, this café serves it sunny-side up. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted with vintage charm, the smell of fresh coffee, and a staff so friendly they could probably make burnt toast feel special. The pancakes? Fluffier than a 1950s poodle skirt. The bacon? Crisp perfection. And the coffee keeps coming like it’s trying to win your heart — and honestly, it might. If you’re looking for the kind of breakfast that makes you forget your phone and just smile at your plate, this retro gem is it.
I’m a full-time wheelchair user. There was no wheelchair-accessible table seating available—none. So to sit anywhere, I was forced onto my crutches, which causes me real pain. A restaurant meal shouldn’t require me to hurt myself just to exist in the space.
What happened next was worse. Instead of staff stepping in to accommodate a disabled guest, I was put in the middle of a public standoff at the bar—people hovering over me, refusing to move, and I’m standing there on crutches trying not to fall. I’m a paraplegic. This wasn’t a “minor inconvenience.” This was a safety issue and a humiliation.
The “alternative” seating was just as bad—tables packed so tightly there was barely any space to move between them. That’s not accessibility. That’s an injury waiting to happen.
Even getting inside was a fight. We used the back door because it was closest to parking, but there was no accessible parking available. The one accessible spot nearby was taken by an untagged vehicle with the classic “I’ll just be five minutes.” Meanwhile, I’m the one left figuring out how to get in.
This place used to be a favorite for decades—patio memories with my mom. Now it’s the place in Jackson I least want to return to. Roxy’s needs wheelchair-accessible seating, staff training on disability accommodations, and real accountability. No one should be put through what happened to me
Wish list: Pure maple syrup with an up charge as the waffles are great. And chicken or turkey sausages.
Burgers are made from beef from the local butcher. Excellent sandwiches too.
Overall, an institution in Jackson!
I am a full-time wheelchair user, and there was no wheelchair-accessible table seating available. Because of that, I had to use my crutches just to be able to sit anywhere—something that causes me significant pain and should not be required just to dine in a restaurant.
What should have been a simple accommodation for me and my friend turned into an embarrassing scene at the bar. Four women were standing at the bar and refused to make space, and staff did not step in to prioritize accessible seating or handle the situation appropriately. The only “alternative” offered was tables with extremely tight spacing—barely a couple inches between seats—which is unsafe and puts someone like me at real risk of injury.
Accessibility outside was also an issue. We had to use the back door because it was closest to parking, and there was no accessible parking available. The one accessible spot nearby (by the tobacco shop) was occupied by an untagged vehicle whose driver said they’d “only be five minutes.”
This used to be one of my favorite places in Jackson, but this experience changed that. I’m asking Roxy’s to take accessibility seriously—create proper wheelchair table access, ensure staff know how to accommodate disabled guests, and address parking/access points—so no one else has to go through this.
Had breakfast.
Greek omelette and side of bacon.
YUM….
Great pricing
Great, fresh food.
Excellent bacon.
Thanks ROXY CAFE….
I use a wheelchair full time. Roxy’s has no wheelchair table access, which meant I had to use my crutches just to sit down—something that causes me pain and puts me at risk. That alone is unacceptable.
But the worst part was the public moment that followed. Instead of being accommodated, I was essentially “handled” in front of everyone while a group of women stood over the bar refusing to move, claiming they were there first. Staff let it escalate while I stood there on crutches, trying to balance and hold myself together. I’m a paraplegic. I should not be placed in a situation where I’m one wrong step away from falling—just because a restaurant can’t (or won’t) make space.
The other tables were so tightly packed there was almost no room to navigate. So the choices were: struggle at the bar, squeeze through unsafe gaps, or leave.
And parking/access was just as bad. No accessible parking available, and we had to use the back door because it was closest. The one accessible spot nearby was taken by an untagged car whose driver said they’d “only be five minutes.” That’s the reality disabled people get forced into—everyone else’s convenience comes first.
This was a disgraceful experience. Roxy’s needs to fix their seating, train their staff, and stop treating accessibility like an afterthought.
When my Eggs Benedict finally arrived, it was cold. That’s a dish that should come out hot and fresh, especially with hollandaise sauce. It was really disappointing after already waiting so long.
Good service is about communication as much as it is about food, and that was missing here. I hope they improve both their timing and how they keep customers informed, because the overall experience did not meet expectations.
