My girlfriend and I both ordered the chorizo eggs Benedict. All four eggs were nearly hard boiled and not runny at all. And we each chewed shell fragments. I don't know who was responsible for the eggs on 8/30/26 at 8am, but they need to pay more attention to what they're doing. On the other hand, the service and atmosphere was good. I can't give more than 2 stars for my visit. Almost hard boiled eggs on a Benedict with several shell fragments is simply unacceptable for a restaurant. read more

Earlier this morning, my family and I tried this place for the first time and we must say... it was very clean, homiee feeling and tasty. Our server was pretty quick and efficient in here service. For a Mom n Pop, spot, we truly enjoyed it! read more

They accommodated a large group near closing and they kept our coffees full. I would come here again.

We thoroughly enjoyed Jackie's Place. Our meal was really good, but the people make this place. The staff helpful and the regulars welcoming, even though it was our 1st time in. Wish we had a Jackie's Place in Knoxville FYI - I had the corned beef hash and it was great . Reindeer sausage was the best we've had our entire time in Alaska. Yum! read more

First time eating here, staff was great food was great fast service, quality food, first meal in Anchorage, would go back

I gave this restaurant a 5 star previously after coming here for breakfast. Came today for lunch and we both had burgers and fries. Not a good choice! The burgers looked and tasted like frozen low quality, bulk-packaged patties. They were dry and tasteless. Fries were warm but not hot. Like last visit, it was extremely noisy. The waitresses load carts with dirty dishes right next to the tables with LOTS of loud clanging & clattering. Probably won't be back. read more

My first time today with my family, the service is excellent, the food is good. The only issue and can be corrected is the black coffee cups is not being wash properly 3 out of 5 in our table got stains. I will still support the business no worries. read more

Bland, unseasoned and cold food. Our service was not friendly and no refills. Did not enjoy our visit and we won't be back.

The food was disgusting and the rice seemed like it was days ago. Our server was rude and very small tempered with our party, she treated us very differently because we are native. Idk if your native don't come to this spot or the "owner" would be rude to you till you leave... not even worth it read more

I've never been to this restaurant but thanks to people's reviews I am never going to this racist place! The Restaurant Jackie's Place on Spenard was one of the worst by far experiences weve had, we walked in and the sign said to seat ourselves so we did, first a young girl came up to us and asked us how we were doing and gave us our menus, then a few minutes later a little bit older girl came and said that she would be our waitress & asked us what we would like to drink we both asked for coffee she brought it out to us and said are u ready to order we both said not yet, and as I was finishing up my emails on my phone a much older lady with blonde hair came up and asked if we were ready to order yet and as I was telling her that we were not ready just yet she snatched my friends menu out of her hands and was reaching for mine I pulled it away and said excuse u that was totally disrespectful & uncalled for, and she said I know u and ur kind of people & u just came in to drink our coffee as she was giving us mean dirty looks put our coffee bill on the table like she already assumed thats all we were going to have and walked away, I then asked for the young lady whom said she was going to be our original waitress as she was being told we wanted to talk to her she looked over at our table gave us a dirty look walked the opposite direction and went to help other customers, the much younger girl came back out and said "I told ur waitress and she said she will come over when she can", then the older lady came back out and asked us how we would be paying I told her im waiting to speak with our waitress because what u did was very inappropriate and disrespectful she said well im ur waitress now and also the owner so u guys need to leave, I then asked her what her reasoning was for doing what she did and who was to say we wernt going to order food she looked over at my friend and said did u want to order something and I said what makes u think she is going to want to order now after u just did what u did to her she then got aggressive and started pulling things off of our table started raising her voice and said this is not a place for u and ur kind and u people need to leave I said we will gladly so we got up and left. As we were walking out all of them were laughing and herd I assume it was her husband because he said good job baby keep those kinds out of here and BTW we were the only natives in there. read more

Pros: Food was AMAZING! 10s, 10s, 10s across the board! I was with a party of 7 and everyone loved their meal. Truly delicious. Cons: Customer service was "meh" the server was a little too sassy for my taste. I get joking around, but berating my mother for wanting sour dough bread over white was a bit much. Def did not feel welcome, BUT, the food was so damn good. read more

Food was good but service could've been better. Waitress just took our order and then delivered food, no coffee refills or anything. Since the other customers were local the waiters were chatting with them but we aren't local so felt a little bit ignored when waitress never came back to our table after the food was there. read more

What a hidden Gem in Anchorage, coming from the bush a great restaurant is so much appreciated. Jackie's has a great menu with a Hawaiian blend. The portions were large and the food was fantastic. Service was awesome...if you want great meal Jackie's is the place. read more

I love breakfast. Love it. It's my favorite meal of the day! I'm a little disappointed in this place though. It's my first time in Alaska and we had arrived early in the morning so what's the first thing we wanted to do? Eat! Had a party of six so we roll up and it was self seating. It was pretty busy considering it was 7 in the morning! We seated immediately and was greeted by a server, who took our drink orders and handed us the menus. Working Man's Breakfast- consisted of a choice of meat, eggs, side (I chose hash browns), with biscuit and gravy. Hash was very mushy, eggs weren't seasoned, sausage was thick and delicious, and the gravy??? Ooooh. My favorite part! Blueberry Pancake was pretty good- can't mess that up! Per my mom. Aaron's Omelette- had reindeer but tasted kind of rubbery??? They make the eggs and throw the stuff on top of them. Per my dad Noah's Fav- "it tasted great" per my brother Steak & Eggs- "steak was over cooked but more edible than the eggs" per my brother Grilled Pork Chop- "ok, dry and needed more seasoning" per my brother Overall, this was similar to a place like iHop & Denny's. Nothing wowed me to come back. ON A GOOD NOTE: GOOD SERVICE!! Fast and sweet! Our server was very friendly and seemed to really know her customers! read more

Came in to a busy Saturday mid morning brunch and ordered up endless coffee, classic Benedict, Hawaiian French toast, and chicken fried steak. Great, friendly staff that took great care of us. Chill vibes - the decor feels homey. And the food comes in hefty portions sure to leave you full and satisfied. Just good comfort food without drowning in grease. read more

I'm a "regular" and eat here 1 or 2 times a day when I'm in Anchorage (working). Daily specials and menu items are good, or order almost whatever you want. read more

Staff was friendly but I was not impressed with the overall experience. The place is cramped (be prepared to rub elbows with strangers), the plates/cups/silverware were not cleaned efficiently (found floaty bits in my drink and soap spots on my fork), they messed up my order but i wasnt prepared to say something because at that point i was just wanting to eat something and leave. The staff is very nice but theres no structure or organization, I had to ask 3 different waitresses for a drink refill, extra napkins(they only brought 1) , and the check. read more

After 5 consecutive orders, the quality and value of the entrees and the consistency towards customer service in completing orders with excellence is noticed and appreciated. It's incredibly obvious that no matter whether you are seated in the restaurant, ordering to go, or to go via DoorDash, that completing your transaction with total integrity is always their goal. Eggs have been cooked to order and perfection. Bacon, perfect every time. Sausage and meat sides, always excellent. You didn't hear it here first, but they do need to cook the hashbrowns a little longer. While still plenty well done, I imagine they'd rather not risk overdone and unfortunately I think they come out a bit underdone for some. Literally nothing is over salted and you may want more. I'd rather have the choice to add salt than be salty in my comments. I'm always pleased and the food tastes and appears whole and authentic, not like ordering from a franchise that uses powdered or frozen items. Want breakfast without gambling? This is it. read more

Comfort food. Rib sticking comfort. My first time there and I'll go again. The staff was friendly and fun and attentive. The biscuits were fluffy and the gravy was hot and the sausage was thick. Full of regulars and well lit, it's a clean yet comfortable, lived-in space. Perfectly Spenard. read more

Our #1 go to for breakfast and has been for many years. It's not fancy but it's clean friendly, and good down home cooking. Try it.

Delicious! Highly recommend their French toast they bring in from Hawaii! Service was great, food cooked perfectly and very tasty. Open early too! read more

This place was a great find! The decor was simple but warm, typical diner design, but in a good way. The food didn't look super appetizing to be honest but it was very good! We got some omelette and Hawaiian French toast. The omelette was delicious! It wasn't greasy and the well-selected combination of ingredients elevated the taste. The Hawaiian French Toast was quite amazing. It was soft, buttery and the right amount of sweetness. Unlike many places that loads sugar on the French toast to make them taste good(and usually achieved the opposite effect), the sweetness of this French toast was an icing on top. Btw their bathroom is also very clean, which is a big plus for travelers stopping by. read more

Crumbly, dry, cold eggs. Scrambled egg should not be cooked an hour early and left to harden and dry out further. Kids meal of 1 pancake, 2 sausage and bad eggs should never be $10, and they want a tip for standing at the register to pay? Overpriced! McDonald's would have been better but it was decided for the group. 6 am is early after a long 6.5 hr. Flight but speaking loudly to seniors that are jet lagged and telling them to speak up, as you can't hear is rough and boarder-line rude to 80 yr. Olds. I would have stood up for them but I didn't want to make a scene with the party. Who shouts at 6 am? Yelp readers can decide. read more

I came down here during my lunch break a couple of weeks ago on a whim and I made it my mission to support as many local businesses as I can while the dine-in lockdowns were in effect for 4 weeks ending tomorrow. Jackie's Place is a longtime old-school diner establishment on Spenard in a small, nondescript shopping plaza which also houses Momma O's Seafood on the opposite end and across the street from the Bear Tooth Theatrepub. They are currently open for pickup orders and you can find a full menu on their website with a phone number to contact them for breakfast or lunch. Their menu items are what you would normally find in a diner like pancakes, omelets, burgers, and sandwiches. However, they have added more healthier options to their menu as of late. I ordered the seasoned Chicken Breast plate with steamed broccoli and brown rice. This was one of the better meals I've had recently with the chicken perfectly seasoned, the broccoli tender, and the brown rice moist and not dry. A lot of places that serve brown rice usually come out dry but the kitchen added the right amount of water for a softer texture you would usually associate with white rice. Other healthier options include the Tuna or Turkey Salad Bowl (asparagus, tomato wedges, pickles, hard-boiled eggs, and black olives), the Grilled Chicken Salad Bowl (cheese, tomato, and bacon bits), and Lou's Favorite (hamburger steak, cottage cheese, peaches, pickles, and tomato slices). The owner is a very nice lady who knows everyone by their first name and her earnest nature compelled me to come back and try their other dishes to keep her business going. read more

Wife and I were up for family time, stopped here for an early breakfast during the week. Food was really good! From the time we ordered till it was on our table felt like 5 min or less! Bacon is thick and cooked perfect! Definitely will come back here for breakfast when we visit AK! read more

This place was average. I got there around 7am on a weekday and they were grooving with the normal crowd. Food came out quick, service was good. Food quality and portions were fine. Nothing spectacular but would go again. They have a larger parking lot and are conveniently located. This was pre-election and the surrounding small talk did get political among the older guests. read more

It's been 14 years and counting that I've been coming here and they're still solid with Ambiance,service,menu and of course the food....consistency that is hard to find in this day and age! I appreciate being recognized and treated like family! read more

Ordered from this Spenard staple via Doordash for brunch. Our food was delivered on time, thoughtfully plated, securely packaged, and complete with silverware and condiments. We ordered the chicken fried steak and eggs with toast and hash browns, the hamburger steak with peppers, onions, eggs, brown gravy and house fries. Next, was the Hawaiian french toast with eggs and Portuguese sausage. Lastly, we got the big cinnamon roll and yogurt parfait. Everything was cooked thoroughly and seasoned well. We were given plenty of salt and pepper packets, just in case. The hamburger steak was noticeably tender, not tough and rubbery as hamburger patties can be, in meals like these. The cost of the chicken fried steak meal was noticeably high compared to other places we frequent. The delicious cinnamon roll reminded me of the one for purchase at Kriners Diner. The Hawaiian French toast left much to be desired. The bread was sweet, but it wasn't, "flown in from Hawaii," memorable. Luckily, the Portuguese sausage made up for that. I haven't had a yogurt parfait in some time. Jackie's uses vanilla yoghurt, granola with raisins, and blueberries in theirs. It was the most guilt-free part of our meal. Thank you Jackie's, till next time! read more

A short wait for a table, once a table is available you seat yourself. It took awhile for our server to take our order. The food was mediocre, and the grits were the worst we have ever had in town, just too dry. We wont be returning to this place. read more

Yelp 100 Challenge 2017 - #60/100 Tired, sleepy, and hungry from our red eye flight from LA, we were looking for a place that offered the good ole American breakfast. Yelp came through and found Jackie's for us. When we filed in, I noticed a couple of guys in blue in the next table and a few other locals in others, so I thought this must be The spot. We were immediately welcomed and sat down, our mugs filled with steaming hot and fresh coffee. Mom ordered the cheese omelette, if you love cheese you'd be happy with the amount they have in this dish. Brother and his wife had the cheeseburger deluxe and biscuit and gravy. The burger was cooked to perfection, the biscuit and gravy fell short of our expectations. The big boy got the patty melt which he ate with gusto. I ordered the Portuguese sausage. It's my first time trying a Portuguese sausage so I didn't know what to expect. It did taste a lot like a Mexican chorizo though, minus the spiciness that I like. All in all, our experience was good, the food portions were big, our coffee mugs and water glasses were never empty. Restroom was clean and parking was more than adequate. read more

Great food. GREAT service. This is one of my favorite places. And the hours are an added bonus.

I'm always on the lookout for good diner fare - breakfast anytime of day sort of stuff. Jackie's did not disappoint. While nothing fancy, the restaurant had plenty of open seats and decent variety of offerings on the menu. I had the Working Persons Breakfast and everything was cooked just as it should be. The pancakes are also good. read more
