Description:
Founded in 1935 by Greek immigrants George Kountouris and John Gouras, the Mayflower Cafe in Jackson, Mississippi, began as a humble hamburger stand before evolving into an iconic seafood restaurant cherished for its consistency and community ties. For over 80 years, it maintained a welcoming atmosphere with longtime staff and its famous homemade Comeback sauce, a local Greek-inspired tradition. In 2024, Hunter Evans and Cody McCain, Jackson natives and co-owners of Elvie’s, acquired the Mayflower, embarking on a respectful revitalization that included modern touches like a bar program and restored design elements, while honoring its legacy.
