Better bring your own water wherever you eat.

One of the mainly boiled seafood restaurants in the area. I believe the one off County Line Rd by the interstate has gotten national press before.

Polito in Belhaven is excellent Italian food, go ahead and make a reservation now, it can be hard to get into. If you choose it, go a little early and try the brewery next door.
Elvie’s, across the street, is probably my favorite, it is more American cuisine type food.

Pulito, Walker's Drive Inn, CAET, Koestler Prime, or MM Shapleys

eta: please only pay attention to these if you are wanting chef-driven fine dining.. recs given above (besides Elvie's, it is good) are sub-par

I stop here pretty much every time I drive through Jackson. I understand that not everybody likes buffets, but if you do, I highly recommend it.
