Tomato gravy is as much of a southern staple as sweet tea and fried chicken. Numerous restaurants throughout the state serve the classic dish. One such restaurant is Rooster’s. A local landmark, Rooster’s has been in business since 1984, and it’s been serving up its tomato gravy for just as long. Throughout the decades, the popularity of the flavorful gravy hasn’t wavered – and after one bite, you’ll understand why.

Since opening in 1984, Rooster’s has had several locations, but for over 10 years now, its home has been in Jackson’s Fondren Corner building.
