Brent's Drugs

The Story
Brent's Drugs has been Jackson's counter since 1946 — turquoise booths, chrome stools and a menu of shakes and breakfast plates. It's been in films for a reason: nothing about it has been redecorated into the present.

Incredible location and old filming set from many films! The menu was pretty dire for vegans, that’s why I’ve given just 4 stars for food. Actually there’s just one thing that was available for vegan and that was the veggie burger I just asked for it without cheese, but it was pretty tasty and the fries were good too, I had a homemade lemonade which was really good as they had no alternative milks other than cow milk. I liked the lemonade and the diner itself is so cool, lots of memorabilia from the days as a diner and a cool room at the back. Also had booth seating, tables and counter seating. Would definitely recommend!

I happened to be in the area and getting hungry, this was in the "Passport to Jackson", so I gave it a chance. Very cute, well-maintained diner that has the old school ice cream, milkshakes and malts. I got the Brents Burger with fries. Both were quite good. Service was fast and friendly, prices were reasonable. I loved the displays near the restrooms of pictures, pharmacy equipment. The restrooms were also very clean and cute. I look forward to coming back when I am in the area again.

Old School Cool that earns its cool. Been around forever and still serving at the soda fountain. I had a Philly Cheesesteak on a Texas Toast. Yes you read that right. The meat is tender and the toast holds up well. Is it my favorite way to have a Philly? No. But it’s a very good play on the traditional favorite. The fries are fresh and not my favorite style but they are good. I also had a root beer float. Wonderful. The place leans into its past and does so in an authentic way. It’s a great place to grab a soda and a burger and remember that many before also eat here.

Nostalgia! Stopped by for breakfast at this Fondren staple! Service from Starla was outstanding! She was so polite, courteous and efficient! She took great care of our party of 5. Most of the food was delicious! French toast, grits, eggs, chicken and waffles were great! Wish the bacon was not over cooked. The brunch burgers and fries were good also!
