Supper at Keegan's, Ridgeland

Posted by ginger On Sunday, February 06, 2005

Friday night we had supper for the first time at Keegan's (7049 Old Canton Road, 601.898.4554) in Ridgeland. A couple of years ago, it was voted 'most recommended restaurant' in the Clarion-Ledger.

Av started with a cup of gumbo. It wasn't gumbo. It wasn't bad - it was quite good - but it wasn't gumbo. There was no roux.....it was more of a vegetable soup with a proponderance of okra (which, to have gumbo, you have to have okra).....and there was no rice. No rice?!?!

The salads were very good, and Av and I both ordered off the special menu of the day. I had a duck with mango salsa, which was lovely, except the mango salsa was really a thick mango sauce. In any case, supper was excellent as was the service.

Would we go back? Mmmmm......probably not. There are so many great restaurants in Jackson (and Ridgeland) that this is probably one of those places that we won't return to - not because it wasn't good - it was. But it wasn't "wow!".
