WJTV 12 - Nissan Café by John Tierre Hospitality opens at Two Mississippi Museums

JACKSON, Miss. – Nissan Café by John Tierre Hospitality, a new eatery that specializes in Southern-inspired cuisine, opened at the Two Mississippi Museums in Jackson on October 16, 2026.

The restaurant is a collaboration between John Tierre Hospitality, the Mississippi Department of Archives and History (MDAH) and the Mississippi Department of Rehabilitation Services’ Business Enterprise Program.

“We’re excited to welcome Tierre’s culinary vision to the Two Mississippi Museums through our collaboration with the Mississippi Department of Rehabilitation Services’ Business Enterprise Program,” said Barry White, director of MDAH, which administers the museums.  “The café not only serves our museum visitors, but it also expands job opportunities and adds to the vibrant Downtown Jackson restaurant landscape.”

Tierre is a Jackson entrepreneur, promoter and restaurant owner who has built his career around business, hospitality and community involvement. Nissan Café will offer visitors a taste of the flavors and hospitality found at Johnny T’s Bistro & Blues, Tierre’s restaurant on historic Farish Street.

Chef Bryan Myrick’s menu will feature daily plate lunch specials throughout the week, with selections that may include red beans and rice, chopped steak, barbecue ribs, baked chicken and blackened catfish.

“We want to provide jobs and top-tier cuisine in an underserved area,” Tierre said. “Jackson is starting to show signs of considerable business growth for locals and visitors, and we are grateful to be a part of that growth.”

Through its partnership with MDRS, John Tierre Hospitality operates Nissan Café as part of a food service opportunity supported by the BEP.

Nissan Café hours are Tuesday through Friday, 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday, 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
