Our story begins in 1953 when Martin Lassiter opened the doors to Martin’s Downtown for the first time on the corner of Silas Brown and State Street in Jackson, MS. It started out simple with a small grill and only serving breakfast and lunch.
Martin’s Downtown is a staple of the Jackson community. Although renovations and changes have occurred over the years; Joseph Stodghill, Calvin’s son, now owns the restaurant and music venue, we’re still your neighborhood hangout. With daily blue-plate specials, nightly drink specials and live music multiple times a week, we can’t think of a reason you shouldn’t pay us a visit!
