5 stars times a million!!! I was visiting my dad's for his birthday. I visited back in August and I'm still thinking about it. Before my flight back to California I needed one final southern meal (no good southern cookin on the west coast.) I am so happy I chose this place. First the staff, 10/5 stars!!! We didn't realize they were closing soon (about 30 minutes from the time of arrival) and showed up. The staff not only didn't even mention it but generously accommodated us! When we realized, we apologized and they were so kind and understanding. Now the food. WOW! So grateful I listened to my gut because I saved the best for last. We ordered a spread of food. Catfish, yams, fried chicken, collard greens, cobbler, etc. Everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked. Catfish was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. Each bite almost made me cry tears of joy. Home cooked taste but from the friend/family member that can tear it up in the kitchen. You can taste the love, dedication and pride. The prices are worth it for the quality and quantity. The atmosphere was welcoming and chill. Definitely a good spot for a family dinner/lunch after church. Again staff were so warm and kind. Overall we had an amazing experience. If I lived closer it would absolutely be on my rotation. If you live nearby make it yours. You will not regret supporting this small business. I will be back as soon as I can! read more

I'm here to tell y'all right now... MS. JACKIE MAE's FOOD IS FIRE!!!! Everything was well cooked and the sweet tea was actually sweet and Jackie Mae herself was so so welcoming! Definitely going back! read more

Jackie Mae’s Place - Fried pork chop, turnip greens, pan fried cornbread and black eyed peas - Southern Near Me - Millington, Tennessee

I'm not sure this place is still open No signs and empty parking lot. At one time they had great meat and vegetables

We finally found some southern soul food! The service was a bit slow but our server explained it's because of the food being fried, but we had no complaints because the portions were HUGE and the food was SOOOOOOOO good!!! The live music made the atmosphere even better while we waited. We will definitely return! read more

A small black-owned restaurant, Jackie Mae's Place is a hidden gem. I've been there twice and both times I left stuffed!. Ms. Jackie is the first face you see entering the door. Her staff is warm and friendly. The first time I went for lunch on a Friday. I really enjoyed myself. We talked as I paid while leaving. That's when she told me about Sundays, so I thought I'd see what she could do with an after-church meal! She did not disappoint me. My family was with me this time. We had fried catfish, chicken and dressing, oxtails, greens, yams, mac-n-cheese........ Ms Jackie threw down!! Everything tasted great and the ambiance was perfect right down to the gospel music playing! I'll be back for sure!! read more

I went there after church today in order to try their oxtail special. Now, my Godparents and I enjoyed the food there last Sunday(the fried pork chops were delicious.). But today, the food could've been---and, for what I was charged afterwards, the food should've been a lot better! I got one large oxtail and two smaller ones, mashed potatoes and green beans. I spent so much time scraping the all the fat off of that large oxtail until I had nearly lost my appetite! Then, I wound up paying more than $45 (for the oxtail special plus a V.I.P.). Plus, their card machine asked for an 18% tip! DO NOT EAT THERE, FOLKS! IT'S NOT WORTH THE MONEY! read more

Omg we finally found our home cooking place! Yall have gotta try it. Just like grandma's. ​

I was expecting one piece of catfish. Imagine my surprise when this plate arrived at my table. I was not disappointed. This was the best catfish I have eaten since having my great aunt Nell's catfish years ago! The staff were friendly and the atmosphere relaxed. I recommend this place and I will be back. read more

Collards & purple hull peas very good. Two large catfish fillets were on the bland side. Breading was falling off fillets, undercooked? Cornbread cooked on grill like pancakes, I liked. Overall not impressed for $19. read more

It was ok but not as good as I expected. I am not sure if I will go there again. It also took a long time to get my food.

The food was okay, I got the dressing, yams and greens. The dressing could've had a little more flavor but otherwise I enjoyed my meal.

The food selection and taste was ok. The service was ok it's a buffet so you're basically serving yourself. The inside was comfortable.

If you're looking for some good home cooked, soul food this is the place to stop! Still dreaming about that banana pudding I believe the menu varies throughout the week but believe me you won't be disappointed with anything you get here! Must try!! read more

Jackie Mae's is new to Millington and I'm so thrilled to have a meat and veggie sort of place in town!! If you want comfort food in a friendly atmosphere- you have to try Jackie Mae's!! She's still developing her menu, so call before you go to hear the daily specials. We tried the fried chicken, meatloaf, and turkey/dressing! I recommend all of those! She has a variety of sides available. It is menu based (not a buffet) so expect a nice sit down environment with smiles and homemade good eats! read more

This will be a regular place for me to eat. The food is so good. The service was quick. And the price is reasonable. This is a hidden gem.

My husband and I had a wonderful Sunday dinner @ Jackie Mae's on October 1, 2023. The food was great and the hospitality was exceptiona!!! I would recommend this soul food Restuarant to EVERYBODY and this is coming from a person who can cook!! Ms. Jackie and her staff are sooo sweet and professional. The experience is equal to going over your favorite aunt's house and just kicking your shoes off and enjoying the best Sunday meal. I currently live in Memphis and Detroit and WILL DEFINITELY RETURN FOR MORE OF MS. JACIE MAE'S good ole food!! read more

I am a repeat customer, the customer service is GREAT for starters. If you want a home cooked meal "Jackie Mae's" is your place!!!!!Another thing the location is easy to access and there's parking as well. read more

Outstanding! Southern comfort food at its best. Greens and cabbage were wonderfully done. Cornbread cakes were buttery gems. Fried pork chops were on point. read more

The food is absolutely wonderful. The best part is a visit with Ms. Jackie Mae though. It feels like a step back in time when people went to the local restaurant to visit with friends and have a wonderful meal. Great place! read more

Great food. Great find. I have known for years that if someone was to open up a "meat and three" lunch and supper menu the town would beat their door down trying to get in. Bravo and Good Eats. read more

This was some of the best soul food I have had from a restaurant in a while. I am a very good cook myself and I can be picky. I got the meatloaf with red gravy, mustard greens, candied yams, cornbread, peach cobbler and banana pudding. I was not disappointed at ALL! Everything was tasty and seasoned to perfection. Customer service was great! The family will be coming back again. How nice to have a GREAT soulfood restaurant in Millington! read more

Wonderful customer service, everyone was so nice. Food came out quickly. Portion sizes were great. Hands down the BEST fried catfish I have ever eaten! Large pieces, so crispy and perfectly seasoned! I really wanted some mac and cheese but they were already out. That's ok, just gives me another reason to go back! read more

Absolutely excellent. I had the dressed chicken, with greens, corn bread and sweet potatoes. Wonderful. A plentiful portion of delicious food, served in a nicely decorated, comfortable environment. The servers were great, and I even got to meet Jackie Mae herself! I go back here every time I'm in Memphis! Fantastic restaurant. I'm going back in a couple of weeks, OH BOY what am I going to order?!!! Maybe I'll skip breakfast and eat two dinners, the ox tail AND the dressed chicken! Watch me! I've recommended this place to all my coworkers nearby. Thank you Jackie Mae and team! read more

Omg what a hidden Treasure. Always enjoy going here for lunch. The food taste amazing. Great vibes

Wonderful food and service. We were extremely pleased. We met the owner, Mrs. Jackie Mae. She seemed very kind and genuinely appreciative of our visit to her place. We'll definitely return again and again. read more
