    I've eaten at Jackie's Place at another San Jose location, this was my 1st time at this one in Downtown San Jose. I ordered the seafood gumbo and a watermelon lemonade. The gumbo was good and it came with a fresh cornbread muffin. For a cup of gumbo and lemonade I paid $19 plus tip. The food was ready instantly as gumbo was already prepared and it was served with a scoop of rice inside the cup. There was a lot of seafood and chicken in the gumbo and after eating it with the cornbread I was very satisfied. The lemonade was too sweet so I drank half and added some ice and water. I was in the area because I was attending the San Jose jazz festival. I appreciated that Jackie's staff was prepared for the large crowds of people that were coming in to eat while I was in the restaurant. There were groups of concert goers, and musicians who were leaving their set. The line moved quickly, and there were quite a few people taking orders and preparing the food. I would return the next time. I'm in downtown San Jose and have a taste for soul food, maybe I'll try their barbecue next time!

    Fast food version of the original location. Service is definitely faster, place feels more airy and less hectic. I got full nachos. It was huge with lots of meat. I wouldn't say it's the best food ever but good for after day drinking.

    I really was stoked when Jackie's Place added another location, this time in the heart of the downtown area of San Jose. I feel like family when I'm here. Everyone knows I'm ready to eat. The staff could easily each tell me their favorites and I would come away happy! They also knew if I could, I would totally try to eat the entire menu. The staff would keep asking if I enjoyed the food. I don't have to say a word. They could tell how much I enjoyed it by looking at my face!

    Smoked Beef Brisket Plate

    I've lived near this Jackie's Place for nearly a year, and finally decided to try it with a group of people. Upon going inside, the restaurant was very clean, and had a self-order kiosk. We chose to sit outside after ordering a brisket plate, a fried chicken plate, a rib ends plate, and a pulled pork plate. The food came out fairly quickly. I got the brisket plate with French fries, collard greens, and a cornbread muffin. The brisket itself was juicy and the fries had a good crunch, however, as someone who's never had collard greens before, they weren't really my thing. My guest with the pulled pork plate said that their meat was dry, and we all agreed that the cornbread muffins were very dry as well. My guests with the rib ends and fried chicken liked their meat, but not so much their sides.

    Me and my wife did a to go order at Jackie's place. My wife ordered the smothered chicken plate with macaroni and cheese, yams and cornbread. I ordered the soul bowl. My wife loved the chicken and yams. She thought the Mac and cheese was missing something and not seasoned well. I love my soul bowl very filling and very delicious. The bbq sauce was the perfect addition to the bowl. The customer service was great and the staff greeted me when I entered the restaurant. The ambiance is customer friendly and the menu has some great choices. A great soul food place to eat at.

    Brisket, Mac & cheese w the candied yams. Can't remember the drink but it was amazing!

    Man oh man was this place firing on all cylinders!! We had never been to San Jose & didn't really expect much outta their Soulfood. Boy, Was I wrong!! We traveled up from Long Beach, Ca for a quick weekend get away. I ordered the fried fish, greens w red beans. My nephew ordered the brisket plate, yams w Mac & cheese.... EVERY THING WAS SEASONED & cooked to perfection!! I was really amazed at how good the food was! My fish had the perfect amount of cornmeal ratio w that perfect crunch! My nephews brisket was tender & smoked just right! I mean..... GEEEEEEZZ!! They didn't miss! Cornbread was dang'there my dessert! Listen! When I come back to the Bay Area.... (YES!! San Jose IS PART OF THE BAY AREA!! ) I will definitely slide back through those doors!!

    The pork ribs are decent but don't get the beef brisket, it's expensive and dry AF. Corn bread is also ok.

    I'm glad that Jackie's Place has opens another location at Downtown San Jose! It's very good for SJSU students and other locals to try soul food here. The place is smaller compared to the first location, which is at north. The service here is good though since we can serve ourselves some complementary water as well as togo containers for leftovers. Also, it's different here because we didn't really need to order via mobile and instead do it through a kiosk or in-person. I prefer going through that process since it's normally how I order food. I always wanted to try candied yams and gotta say that they're very sweet and delicious. The beef chili beans tastes good and fried fish is well seasoned. The cornbread really hits the spot though since it's soft and fresh. Personally, I prefer the other location better because of the atmosphere and vibes, but this one is still good to go to though. If you care more about the food here, then it won't be much of a difference. If you also care about atmosphere, I recommend going to the other location which is at north.

    If you're looking for amazing and authentic soul food in San Jose, Jackie's Place is a must-visit! Their sandwiches are packed with flavor, made with fresh ingredients, and prepared with care. Every bite tastes homemade and comforting, just like great soul food should. The food is consistently delicious, I also had the fish plate, super, the portions are generous, and the welcoming atmosphere makes you feel right at home. Whether you're stopping in for lunch or bringing family and friends, Jackie's Place delivers great food and great hospitality every time.

    Great food and great service. Service was over the top, always checking in to ask if we needed anything. Everyone was really nice and friendly.

    This pic looks like an Owl right? The owl that ate my gumbo and Mac n Cheese!

    Wow, like coming home for Thanksgiving or Xmas for me! I had the gumbo, Mac N Cheese and the peach cobbler. Gumbo was not too spicy and the taste was 10/10. My mom is from New Orleans and I grew up on gumbo and etoufee! Lots of crab and shrimp. Delicious. My Mac N Cheese clearly had a hole in the cup because it was all gone and I don't remember how.... Cobbler was insane. Again, cobbler was insane! Corn bread was so flavorful you don't need any butter etc. but it was a little on the "cutesy" side if you ask me. Thank you JP for a great meal. The service at the south first street location was excellent. Will definitely come back again and again.

    ALL OF THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS! Husband and I were visiting San Jose for work, and decided to check out Jackie's Place. We walked in, and it literally felt like a warm hug. The staff was so kind, everybody was eating and enjoying themselves. I LOVE THAT! The fried fish, baked beans, collard greens, brisket, and cornbread was sooooo flavorful. I also loved the BBQ sauce. We will be returning next time we visit San Jose!

    BBQ Pork Coleslaw fries

    Ordered some bbq pulled pork which was solid with some fries and coleslaw. Overall service took a little more than I'd expect but the staff were super friendly and offered to bring the food to me. They have indoor and outdoor seating so overall not mad at it. Not sure if I would go back or not.

For the sides: Regular fries, seasoned fries, chili cheese fries, tater tots, chili cheese tots, zucchini sticks. We usually end up with fries. Last time we tried the seasoned fries, which we were hoping and hoping that they weren't too seasoned, being that the wings already have lots of flavor. However, we were pleasantly surprised to a very subtle seasoning. Overall, we keep coming to this place for their consistency and finger licking good wings.

The employee was friendly, welcoming, and helpful, which made the ordering process nice and easy. One thing I found out during my visit is that you can only choose one sauce per order. I was honestly a little bummed about that because there were several wing flavors I wanted to try. I didn't want to spend another $20 just to order a second batch of wings with a different sauce, especially since I was dining by myself. It would be great if there were an option to split an order between multiple sauces so customers could sample more of the menu. I ended up going with the Secret Sauce, and I'm glad I did. The sauce had a great balance of sweetness with a little kick, along with a noticeable garlic flavor that gave it some extra depth. It wasn't overwhelmingly spicy, but it had enough heat to keep things interesting. Combined with the crispy wings, the sauce made for a really satisfying bite. The wings themselves were crunchy on the outside, fresh, and cooked nicely. There was a bit of a wait for my order, most likely because there were quite a few DoorDash orders being prepared, but once my food arrived, everything was fresh and hot. The wait was worth it, especially when the wings came out with that crispy texture I was hoping for. Overall, I had a really good experience and would definitely come back. Next time, I'd bring a group so we could order several flavors and share. The friendly service, fresh wings, and flavorful Secret Sauce definitely gave me a reason to return. I'd give this place 5 stars if customers could choose multiple sauces in a single order. That one limitation is really the only thing keeping me from giving it the full five. If you're coming alone, you may have to commit to one flavor, but if you're with a group, you can turn the sauce situation into a full-on wing tasting. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back and trying more flavors.

During our recent visit, we ordered the Crispy Chicken w/ Honey Butter, Honey Butter French Fries & Cheddar Fries to dine in and Crispy Chicken w/ Honey Butter & Crispy Fried Chicken to go. Hits: * Honey Butter & Cheddar Fries are good. The seasoning is placed on top of the fries but make sure you spread it thoroughly throughout all fries to ensure it's not too salty. * Honey Butter Crispy Chicken is delicious and perfectly fried. The seasoning powder isn't extremely salty and pairs well with the chicken. Average: * Regular Crispy Fried Chicken was decent. It's fried well and not over cooked but it's kind of bland. Final Verdict: Solid 4/5. The chicken here is good. It's always on point and fried perfectly. It's the right amount of crisp and with the seasoning it's a good mixture. The fries are good as well. The fries aren't too thin. They also offer a sort of vinegar radish on the side and it pairs so well with the chicken. If you are planning to dine in, there are plates, forks and spoons for utilize. The staff is nice and the store is also very clean. I do want to try other foods that the store offers besides chicken since those are the only items I've had so far from the menu.
