Best Coconut Cream Pie you'll ever have.
Review #17269Review by: jesswade on 4/12/2009
I read the comments on here before visiting Jasper's Porch and it was better than I expected. The atmosphere makes this place wonderful. It is so cozy, clean and everyone was friendly. My kids were kept busy by the lake and ALL of the turtles. We even saw an alligator in the morning at breakfast. I ordered the Low Country Boil for dinner on our way down to Florida and it was AMAZING! So good that on our way back my husband and daughter ordered it too. I look forward to stopping there every time I travel south!!

I-95 restaurant - very easy to get to - 1 minute off I-95 - Great location, great food and wonderful view of lake. The children really enjoyed feeding the fish on the screen porch. Kids enjoyed the kids menu and turtles in the lake. Omelette was delicious - pancakes great and excellent coffee - imported!!!! Love their t-shirts. Walk your dog on the nature trail -beautiful trail around the lake - huge carp and turtles.

I saw the sign for Jasper's Porch and knew my lyfe would never be the same. Something inside me changed and I knew it was an unbelievable blessing. Several days later, I was fortunate enough to dine ON Jasper's Porch and that's when I knew it was true: I found my favorite restaurant.
Thanks, Jasper... you changed my lyfe.

We have family in the north so make 2 to three trips a year. We always stay in Ridgeland just so we can visit Jasper's for dinner AND breakfast. It's not just the food: it's watching and feeding the turtles in the pond from the back porch, watching other strollers make their liesurely way around the nature trail, and of course the happy and courtious service. Sometimes the chef even comes out to greet the diners. From petting the kitties to chasing the ducks or being chased by the geese (yikes!) we love to stop in Ridgeland and Jasper's and will for many years to come.

We were traveling home from Hilton Head when we saw the sign for Jaspers Porch. We are not much on stopping at places we haven't heard the name of before, but this time we were so glad we did. We absolutely loved this place the food and service could not have been better. We ate on the porch and reccommend that anyone who has the chance do so also. The atmosphere was great we can't say enough good things about our visit, we intend to go back. William and Jan McMichael

We found Jasper's Porch on out trip down I-95 to an Elderhostel in GA. What a lucky stop!
The Sunday buffet was wonderful! And the sweet potato soup was voted among "favorite soups ever" at our table. Three of us had more of it for our dessert! Mmmmm - mmmm.
The nature trail provided a nice leg stretch for the road weary and camera buffs in our car, too. I'd like to stop again to eat on the porch.
Jasper's Porch is now on our list of favorite I-95 stops.
Review #9780Review by: Anonymous Breakfast Lover on 12/31/2006
Yesterday was our third visit to the restaurant... our first and last for dinner.
Expect a long wait for food if there is a party in the party room. Food service in the dining room came to a halt while the party was served. When our food finally arrived, the promised coleslaw was missing. When we asked about it, we were told they were out of coleslaw...we were offered no substitutions or reduction in the price. I asked for a lot of fried onions on my hamburger...three small pieces of onion is what I got. The pie for dessert had no bottom crust...not sure what happened to it. Smokers from the party congregated on a small area of the porch sending cigar/cigarette smoke to everyone eating on the porch. Some porch diners changed tables in an attempt to avoid the stench.
We've enjoyed the buffet lunch in the past with no problems. If you try the restaurant, leave if you see a party in the extra room.

Astonishingly miserable food: for example, a "rib eye steak" was about 1/2 to 3/4" thick, impossible to cook medium rare. The "special crab stuffed grouper" was two wafer thin filets lumped with stringy canned something or another and alot of Old Bay. Clueless, chintzy bar service; completely unable service. I normally give my name, but in this case, I sign myself: if Jasper's is your only choice, or if you expect actual lunch or dinner food, keep on rollin'.

Great for lunch and dinner too. View is spectacular as the porch overlooks a lagoon and nature preserve. Spring colors outstanding.
And we haven't even bragged on the breakfast.
A great stop on the way down I-95 for you Florida bound vacationers.

What a wonderful place to sit down and relax in the middle of our trip to Florida. We stop here every year and it keeps getting better. The chef they have is out of this world. This has to be the most friendliest place in the low country to eat.

Review #8450Review by: Anonymous Breakfast Lover on 5/26/2006
My family and I were heading to Hilton Head Island for mothers day w/e and stopped in after a long ride down I-95 from Virginia. Excellent place after a long trip to refresh ourselves before heading to HHI. Service was great, food was out of this world. We will be back. A special thanks to the owners, the Bentz family, for their hospitality. what a wonderful time we had.

Review #7373Review by: Anonymous Breakfast Lover on 4/21/2006
Enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere after a long road trip down I-95. Right off the exit and right back on with ease. I felt as if I were one of the family. The coffee was exceptionaly good, slight wait due to the popularity of this quaint lake front restaurant. We will be back again and again everytime we travel south. The she crab soup is a must!!!

Review #7316Review by: falconbird on 1/25/2004
Jasper's Porch has a beautiful view of Blue Heron Lake and nature trail. Breakfast is served Mon-Sat from 8 to 11. Inside are comfortable booths and tables with rattan chairs. The decor (wallpaper, table cloths, upholstery) are fish-oriented but it's clearly not a rustic fish camp.
Coffee mugs are large and hold the heat. How's this for a special - 2 eggs, 2 bacon or sausage, 2 pancakes -$2.99! Also omelets, croissant sandwiches and steak & eggs.
A great break from driving I-95.
