Karla was a very rude server. First she told me and my party of 6 that we couldn't push two small tables together. Another nice worker who wasn't our server later saw us sitting separate and told us we could push the tables together. When it was time to pay she told me friend who ordered a plate that was $8.99 and got water to drink that her bill was $17. My friend kindly asked why it was $17 because her meal was only $8.99 and Karla rudely replied "you can select the print the receipt". Meaning that she wanted my friend to PAY first then see the receipt. She saw all of us very confused on why the bill wasn't adding up and NEVER mentioned gratuity was included after my friend ask if it was. Sad because the food was good but we will never be coming back or ever recommend this establishment because of her read more

The food is delicious and the staff is very kind. Everything i have tried for breakfast has been very good and i will definitely keep coming back!! read more

Fast, friendly service and the food was great. They even brewed a fresh pot of decaf for me!

Chicken and waffles without the wait! When we were seated, my hubs whispered to me... I feel like we're in IHOP. I told him , "Yeah, but IHOP doesn't have chicken and waffles." "Touche." (I actually googled it and it turns out that IHOP does, but they have chicken strips, so it's really not the same). We tried the chicken and waffles, chicken fried steak and eggs, ham sandwich (with delish and addicting fries!), kid's french toast and kid's pancakes. If you like fluffy pancakes, then don't forget to order them! Prices are very reasonable as well and the food came out pretty quickly. We went on Sunday at 11am and it was probably 80% full. read more

Awesome service and the food is spectacular. I typically stay away from the sweets however, their pancakes are a must every time I visit

The food reminds me of IHOP, the place is clean except that the restroom needs some repair--Other than that, I would give the place a 5 star. Good food at a price that's great and the staff are friendly. read more

Really, really great breakfast and service! Dined here one weekend morning. We were immediately greeted and seated. This place resembles an old IHOP from the outside building structure, set-up, menu AND taste! Yes, who thought someone could mimic the famous chain of IHOP?? Jackie's Kitchen has to be the sister company because everything was almost identical. Nonetheless, everything was great. Ordered the meat omelette with pancakes and hashbrowns and I had the French toast plate with eggs and bacon (although I was brought link sausage ) with a side of hashbrowns. Hot syrup and great-tasting food. They're not 24 hours (think they close at like 6pm) but I would definitely return if in the area. read more

Classic diner food, minus the grease. They had the full range of pancake/waffle/omelette options that you would expect. I got the chicken crepe, which comprised mushrooms, spinach and chicken in a luscious cream sauce wrapped in a light, fluffy crepe, topped with a nice hollandaise. I docked one star because they sat another family in the booth right next to ours instead of reserving spaces for social distancing; i was relieved that we were wrapping up and were able to get out of there soon because we were definitely less than 6ft away. read more

We've eaten breakfast twice now. The service is friendly and fast! The food is delicious! We will be back. Highly recommend.

I'm giving 2 stars bc the orange juice was good and our server was nice. We went as a family to eat breakfast before church and wish we would have saved our $50. My strawberry cream cheese French toast was so bland with no flavor, my hash browns were lightly cooked and gross and my over easy egg was full of egg whites still. My daughters grits were watery and gross she said, she didn't even like her pancakes! Which she has always loved pancakes. I'm assuming the give maple syrup which is super watery. My other daughter got a waffle and she didn't like it either. My husband said his wheat pancakes with the blueberries and turkey bacon were dry. He didn't Luke the blueberries either. Literally the only good thing was the bacon. Maybe the 4 stars are for the lunch and dinner bc the breakfast was naaaaaasty! We will never come here again for breakfast. read more

Fast great service and food. We eat here all the time and have never been disappointed.

Tried Jackie's Kitchen on Sunday for the first time. I give this restaurant one stars because i had a hair on my 2nd pork chop it seemed like it was grilled to the pork chop. The waitress was nice and offered to remove the meal but seeing as i ate 75% of my eggs which i did ask for over medium was more like over easy i just requested a discount. Unsure if I will give this spot another chance read more

as thinking neighborhood diner l. I 'll give a try the vegan choice was black coffee as I am going through photos for review, I notice lipstick on the cup. I don't. Lipstick! FILTHY!!! read more

OMGD! Just came here for my birthday with my Manss. Really good, great prices. I ended up coming here because of a post on Nextdoor discussing great breakfast places for great value. This place hit it on the mark! We had the pumpkin pancake combo and Supreme Crepes. They were packed when we arrived at 10am - took the last parking spot in their lot. (Overflow could be next door at Goodyear) we got the two entrees and 2 coffees for $22. Not bad considering the portions! read more

Great casual spot to catch a quick and great breakfast! The wait staff is always so kind and nice. I always get the country omelette with pancakes and would highly recommend. I visit here often and recommend to everyone! read more

Incredible food. Staff is super friendly. Wish it was closer to where we live. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone and will make return visits. read more

Food was not good at all. I over paid. 20$ for a dry chicken and waffle. The online menu is not even updated and the prices are different supposedly. Horrendous customer service. Do not go there. read more

Chicken and Waffles?!?! UM YES PLEASE! Simliar to house of pies, they serve some really good food. If you're in the area give this place a try. I've tried the breakfast stuff, not so much the lunch and dinner stuff. Interior is very dated, so don't expect much. Go here for the food not the atmosphere. I think this place was a Denny's or an iHop in its previous life. Go here if you want a no frills good breakfast place to eat. read more

First time coming to Jackie's Kitchen and it was average. I had the veggie omelette and it was good and huge! The pancakes were pretty good as well. read more

Best breakfast for a hungover gal like myself. Staff is always amazing and if you want a simple but freaking awesome breakfast you'd never make at home come here. read more

I don't usually do this but this place scammed me, I paid $20 for a very dry piece of chicken and a very small and simple waffle, menu said $10 but when I get there they said it was $20 and that the $10 price was from an old menu? No drink, just a very dry small chicken for $20. I do NOT recommend this place AND ALL THE GOOD REVIEWS ARE FAKE! THIS PLACE IS A SCAM !!!! If I could give negative starts I would ... read more

This place is absolutely amazing... The pancakes are so good and fluffy. Everything tasted so good I can't even explain it lol. Our waitress, Carla Gonzales, provided excellent service and is top tier!!!! read more

Had meat lovers omelette. Thought i was in texas but sorriest selection of meat ever had in omelette in the south . Also was not real eggs. Clean & coffee ok. read more

We were staying in Houston for the weekend and found this gem not too far from our hotel. My husband loves a homestyle breakfast and this was the place! Friendly and attentive service from the minute we walked in the door. Our coffee cups were never more than half empty. There were plenty of menu items. The portions were filling without being obnoxious or wasteful. The prices were appropriate ($23 for 2 people). The restaurant environment was quaint and clean. We will return! read more

My wife and I are all about breakfast so we frequent Jackie's Kitchen frequently. The menu covers all the standards from pancakes, waffles, and omelets all the way to breakfast tacos and crepes. Between my wife and I, we have tried just about everything and it is always solid. We have always found the service to be good as well. read more

Debbie is a work horse! Her service was wonderful, and the food was spot on. My husband and I ordered the Hearty Breakfast with eggs over medium, and we were thrilled with the outcome. It was cooked to perfection. The husband also ordered biscuits and gravy. The gravy was creamy and flavorful! The biscuits were perfect nuggets for holding the gravy! We would definitely return here! read more

It's a cute diner, but the food is definitely something you can make at home for cheaper lol. Me and my boyfriend came in this morning before work looking for a good meal, but unfortunately that's not what we got. He ordered a sausage and cheese omelette, with hash browns and I ordered the Eggs Basic with turkey bacon. When the food came out, his omelette was already cold, cheese was not melted, and eggs were runny but cold? Not sure how you do that but go off. My food was okay, hashbrowns were nice and crispy I will say that, my eggs were about room temperature and the turkey bacon? oh let's not get started..it was literally like wood with no flavor. When our server came around to check on us, we were just about done eating. Mind you my boyfriend didn't eat but a bite of his food and the only thing our server offered was a Togo box after we told her that he didn't like his food. She took our money and told us to have a good day. We both work in restaurants and that's usually not the way to go. Anyways before we left we asked for a manager which so happened to be the owner. While my boyfriend was telling her about our experience she looked at him with the blankest stare, almost like she did not care about our experience this morning. Will not be returning, we spent $35 plus a tip for something that easily could've been cooked at home and tasted so much better. read more

There wasn't anything bad about this place. Food was excellent, service was exceptional and the place was very clean. Our server kept the coffee coming. Eggs weren't over cooked. Bacon wasn't fried too much and the pancakes were fluffy. Biscuits and gravy were delicious and the gas browns were fantastic. Wish I lived closer to enjoy again. read more

This place is dank af. Simple as that. Mom&Pop diner. Flame. Migas and chorizo was to die for

Hidden gem for a great diner breakfast! Always good and great staff. Sat/Sun gets pretty busy, so maybe go early/late.

Jackie's is a hidden gem off 290. The food is good and the service is superb. The location is a bit hard to get to due to the constant construction on 290, but you will not be disappointed. My go to is the chicken and waffles. The chicken is spicy and has good flavor, but can be greasy due to it is a prepackaged product. Look out for their specials since they normally give you the best bang for your buck. read more

Huge portions, great prices, free WiFi, friendly service... If you're on your way to IKEA, (or back) check into Jackie's for a relaxing boost. This former IHOP has the kitchen in the middle, so your breakfast yumminess is delivered extra quickly and hot. Like a Denny's, but friendlier, better quality, bigger portions, and laid back. Come here to chill. read more

Nothing went wrong with my omelette or server, but I was totally underwhelmed with the blandness of the food.

It gets the job done. According to my fiance who is a native Houston, he says it's alright. I came here because of the pricing and the amount they give you. That's why I give it 3 stars. I had the cream cheese strawberry stuffed french toast. It comes with hash browns, sausage, and eggs. It was only 8.99. I thought that was great. But as far as the flavor, I feel the description slightly over hyped it. It was ok. My fiance got the chicken fried steak combo. His came with hash browns eggs and two pancakes. His was only 9.99. Again, great price for a lot of food. But he says it was OK because you could get more for the same price, elsewhere. He says the steak wasn't cooked good enough. There wasn't as much meat. I would recommend it if you wanted a affordable breakfast with a decent amount of food read more

This reminded me of Waffle House and is why we went. My wife loved the Migas & Chorizos and I can't lie, it looked great. Me on the other hand, International Burrito with 3 pancakes. It was a good size and I couldn't finish it. The pancakes came piping hot, loaded with butter and the fluffiness melted in my mouth. The first test of a burrito is how easily my fork cuts through and this passed. It relied on the veggies for flavor so I used hot sauce. read more

Food was delicious! Our server was great. It's a comfortable diner experience and the perfect place for brunch. They had a wide variety of menu items so there is really something for everyone. read more
