Quaint place for breakfast. Great service. Prices are a bit high for breakfast. I had the farmers omelet which was pretty good, but I got the home fries as my side and they were very dry. Definitely needed some seasoning and maybe olive oil and/or onions. The sour dough toast came out late and the butter finally melted after eating my omelet. It's an average diner, so I gave it an average score. I will probably not return before trying out all the other options first. read more

We tried this out based on our Uber driver's recommendation and boy, was he right! This is a down-home local place with great food and friendly staff and local color. The portions were plentiful and the menu extensive. Some of the food we tried includes biscuits and gravy (very flavorful and fluffy biscuits), reindeer sausage (really yummy with great taste), Irish omelette (duper stuffed with corned beef hash), Dooley's omelette (packed full of tasty fillings), an omelette with turkey, spinach, mushrooms, zucchini and cheese that was also great. The grits were awesome! We highly recommend this place!!!! read more

Used to go here all the time and it was wonderful. Went there for breakfast the other day and it's changed significantly. No longer a great place for locals to be meet up. Every change or extra is charged. Very little flexibility. Some ridiculous extra costs such as each bag of tea is charged three dollars! Not worth the time or money. read more

We've done door dash here several times and decided to come in before we have to hunker down again. Definitely glad we went. Friendly hometown diner style place with staff who know everybody's names. I ordered the Hawaiian French toast as usual (comes via door dash just as delicious btw). My husband ordered a sausage and eggs combo (can't remember the specific name) to try something new from his usual loco moco and it was good as well. Fast, full and left thinking about the next time we'll come back. read more

Needed some breakfast and Jackie's Place was the only place open that I was interested in going to. So happy I stopped in! It's seat yourself, there was plenty of seating and it was comfortable. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Diner coffee and waffle was exactly what I needed. read more

Horrible customer service. They kept slamming the food down on the table fast without saying anything and walking away. Also the omelette are so dry. No flavor at all. No seasoning. I had to add tabasco hot sauce. I came all the way from Houston and the first breakfast I have here in Alaska is this nonsense. TRIP RUINED. I HATE YOU JACKIE. read more

I LOVE this down home Anchorage Restaurant and staff! Came in to have brunch with my visiting cousin because he wanted to try a local restaurant and Jackie's aim to please. The staff was all masked up, social distancing was had by all and our meal was perfect! Hats off to our locals like this keeping us fed through the pandemic with wonderful home cooked "feels good" meals. read more

Good service. Small town diner feel, where they know the regulars. Decent food and prices.

Poor management is all I can say. I was flabbergasted by how unwelcoming this place was on what was a wonderful afternoon today. One of the customers who witnessed how poorly I was handled by the blonde lady in the middle of the photo above, had to walk out of the restaurant just to check on me. I was not surprised by how unwelcoming the rest of the servers were, considering how the blonde lady treated me. I am still in shock by the lack of professionalism and customer service. And the sad part of it all was that I was truly looking forward to eating at this place as a first time customer. Please, call Gordon Ramsay. She also took a picture of me outside of her restaurant without my approval after she dismissed me and ALL of the concerns I had approached to her regarding the unwelcoming customer service I've experienced thus far and mind you I have not even taken a seat. After being talked down so rudely by her, I finally understood the root of the problem as to why the servers behaved that way that they did. I have NEVER felt so attacked and violated. I guess this is what it is like to experience racism first hand. The picture you see of her smiling was not the person I met today. And maybe she was having a bad day who knows? But I certainly did NOT deserve to be treated poorly by her. After posting on their Facebook page this was their response: I called APD and sent them your photo. To assume my place is racist before even dining there was completely inaccurate. Hope your day got better. It's not ok to stand outside of a business and tell people of an experience that you had when you walked in with all intention of being an issue. Mind the fact also that you spoke with my "black " employee as you described him Outside and wanted to be sure he worked there before you stepped foot in the door. I do not discriminate. At all. I do not appreciate people that feel they should be treated " better or different". Also, to point at my employees and tell me they are no good isn't ok either. I responded in kind: I used to be a manager at Johnny Chicago and we all know that the number one rule of restaurant customer service is that the customers are always right. And the fact that you chose to be argumentative and make me seem like I am the bad guy instead of rectifying the situation is why I WILL NEVER COME BACK. Thank you for your time and good luck with your business! read more

This was the second time and last time I come here. First time around this one waitress greeted me with a "what do you want?" Not a "good morning or welcome to or how's it going my name is ...I'll be your server today what can I get you started with". Ok so I thought to myself maybe she having a bad day, treat her with kindness. So decided to come back for another breakfast and had the same waitress with the same attitude. It's as if she doesn't care to treat those that come to Jackie's place with any sort of customer service skills. More over if the food or coffee was worth putting up with the poor customer service, I'd come back but there are other places worth my business. read more

Classic diner. Perfect bacon. Enormous pancakes. What more do you need?! The staff is friendly and all the locals over 60 are probably here but that just means the food is good. read more

Delicious!!! Everything was so good. Had the working person breakfast. Eggs cooked right! Bacon crispy and chewy. Coffee good. Even the biscuits and gravy were seasoned well and tasty. Our new spot!!! Thank you read more

It's hard to miss at this Anchorage eating institution. They've been around for as long as I can remember and heavily supported by the local bodybuilder community. Quite a few really creative dishes on the menu. Chorizo scramble with grits is my personal favorite. read more

I'll let the pics speak for itself. I'm usually a huge supporter of dive joints. I definitely don't expect a gourmet meal. But for the price I do expect it to be edible. The orange juice was good I guess. read more

Yep! A great place for breakfast, at least that's what I usually order, sometimes lunch. You can always count on Janice and her staff to deliver a great, memorable, and convivial experience. Go before 9:00am because they are packed afterwards! read more

This is the best place I have been in a while. My boyfriend and I went to Anchorage and we were looking at close by food. We absolutely IN LOVE with this little whole in the wall. The customer service was absolutely the best. read more

This place was so good!! First time in AK and my friend knows breakfast is my go too. We tried this place and it was pretty packed so I know the food was good. You seat yourself and a server will be with you. I have to give a three star because the one thing I dislike about this place is the floor plan which is a big thing. The tables were so close to each other. We were literally having breakfast with the people beside us because I could hear their entire conversation. The seating arrangement were horrible. read more

I've come here a couple of times and I yet to be disappointed. We've ordered their loco mocos and corned beef hash and it tastes just like we were back in Hawai'i. I would recommend. read more

Lots of food items to choose from! Great tasting food and very friendly workers. We went here based on other highly recommended reviews and was not disappointed. read more

The last two times I ate here, the food was kinda gross. I appreciate the friendly service and coffee, coffee, coffee. But slimey, tasteless food that gives me a tummy ache afterward freaks me out. read more

Lately I've been preferring two dishes at Jackie's, the teriyaki beef, over easy egg, & rice. & the chicken breast, broccoli, & rice. The chicken is seasoned nicely. Once in a while, I'll have an omelet to switch things up. read more

Jackie's is one of those places that we just don't get around to visiting even though every one we know says they eat there and recommend it to their friends from outside. Well, today was the day we jumped the shark ad stopped by for lunch and had a GREAT lunch. We split the Franciscan sandwich and substituted a cup of their chili and cup of the Portuguese chicken and rice soup. The sandwich was meaty, filling, and so goof. Both the soup & chili were savory a meal in themselves. read more

Wonderful small town restaurant! Delicuous breakfast and great staff!! A must stop if you're in Anchorage.

Great little place Good food nice people and you don't feel like you are being pushed in and sent out read more

Good food, great service. Decent coffee. Saturday morning, waited 10 minutes for a table, seat yourself. Brought menus and water right away, coffee shortly thereafter. Orders were taken when we were ready, food came out pretty quickly. Got the build your own omelette and it was loaded to the gills, same with the Schnell's omelette. Lots of goodness inside! All the staff is friendly and helpful, no attitudes. Will definitely be back! read more

Question: Does this place have the friendliest service in Anchorage? Answer: Yes. Yes it does. I am seriously blown away with how pleasant and gosh-dern NICE people are here. And I'm not talking about gushy-over-the-top corporate "neighborhood bar and grille*" niceties. I'm talking about how people here treat you like you're an old friend. They have a super-chill Hawaiian (guessing) dude that never lets your coffee get too low and is always kind and gracious. He's also the one that will help you pay your bill. Speaking of paying your bill: you pay up front. If (you pay up front) & (you just ate eggs); Then (you're at a diner); The food is good. It's typical diner fare with one huge exception: there's some Hawaiian flare sprinkled throughout the menu. Stuff like Portuguese sausage and hamburger patties with gravy. The 49th and 50th states are great friends, it seems. Next time I want to chill in a booth and hang out with old friends, I'll be back. *when did grill start containing an "e", anyway? read more

The food is delicious!!!! The waitress was super nice and knowledgeable. It's nice and clean here. Love them!!

Great hole in the wall diner that's been around longer than I've been alive. The menu is full of things that one could expect in a greasy spoon. Omelets, reindeer sausage, sandwich and soups, and cheap coffee are just some of the menu items.. Youngish servers that serve people in vinyl covered booths with 30 year old tables. I don't like canned mushrooms so that would be the only thing to not order. read more

Just right for breakfast. When you want a couple steps up from Denny's served by really attentive and grounded Alaskans, come here. And unlike the chains, you will find foods you never thought you craved- omelette a with rare combos of meats and veggies, not just the oh so 'vanilla' cheddar cheeses. Then again, it is not so fancy you can't bring your niece who hates a menu with feta and pun nuts on everything. Delicious crispy bacon, home made hash browns, coffee keeps coming, what else is there in life? For out of towners, Jackie's is just enough off the beaten path that it doesn't get the HUGE crowds, but if you want to say you've had yummy reindeer sausage and the works, in the middle of an Alaskan diner surrounded by Alaskans, this is your spot. read more

I tried out the hawaiiain pancakes, while they were good, there wasn't really anything spectacular or different about them. The service was fantastic :) The only reason for the three stars, is this place just seems "okay" nothing that just jumps out and makes me want to spend $11-15 for a breakfast meal that I can whip up at home for way less than that. I got my daughter a grilled cheese kids meal it was $5.75 and did not include a drink, I got her a chocolate milk which was $2.75, so my four year olds lunch was $8.50 which is absurd! The grilled cheese was nothing to write home about, and the fries they use are just plain gross and about the worst i've had since I can remember. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here again, so overpriced and nothing to write home about. read more

Solid breakfast place in Anchorage. It's a 70s throwback... from the booths, the patrons, and the classic food. A stand-out is, oddly, the hashbrowns. Just a bit on the greasy side, but oh-so-good. Can't go wrong with a breakfast outing at Jackie's. read more

Excellent food, very busy. Staff is courteous and quick. Would highly recommend this place for breakfast and lunch.

A joint in the first sense of the definition. Janice, the current owner, and daughter of the original owner and namesake, is the best. (Disclaimer, my wife and Janice worked together at the old Pay-n-Save in Eagle River). Great, honest, breakfasts from healthy to decadent. These guys own Momma O's too! read more

The eggs and bacon were fine, but the biscuits and gravy were terrible. I'm pretty certain the biscuits are frozen and not made from scratch and the gravy was mostly tasteless and what little taste I got from eating, tasted like flour. Disappointing! read more

Wonderful breakfast! We always love coming here and the service is always fabulous. It's a must if you're a breakfast lover.

Great Mom and Pop style breakfast and lunch diner where you are treated like family. If you are looking for healthy fare, try an egg white omelette! As you can see on the wall of photos, the owner Janice is a great supporter of the fitness and bodybuilding scene in AK and has sponsored many athletes. If you are not a heath nut, never fear, the options for you are deliciously varied from french toast to incredible burgers! You can get your grub on with large portions at very reasonable prices. The service here is on point with quick coffee and drink refills as well as fast ordering and short wait times for your food. I have never had a bad experience here in my 20 plus years of eating at this fine establishment. I look forward to many more superb meals and excellent service in the future. I only wish they had a diner in the valley so I could eat here more often! read more

Worst service ever. Except for the bus people that kept my coffee full. Sat there for almost 30 minutes. Watching the waitress wait on people that came in long after us. Threw a bill on the table and walked out. What's bad is the food looked great on everyone else's table. Never going back. read more

This is a fantastic breakfast spot that we found based on a recommendation from a local. We weren't disappointed. Johnny greeted us upon arrival and his energy was infectious. I ordered the two egg breakfast with Portuguese sausage. Also got to split the Hawaiian French toast which was made with Hawaiian sweet bread. Both were awesome! Wish I had a place like this closer to home! read more
