    Fried pork chops, potatoe salad and mac and cheese
    Ja'Nita D.

    I haven't been to Jackie's in years. I was invited for a birthday celebration on today. We had a reserved area for us so we walked right in with no problem. We were greeted within minutes and our drink and food orders were taken. The food came out faster than we anticipated which was definitely a huge plus. We were a party of 15 and the food was piping hot. I ordered the Jackie's feast which came with 5 Shrimp, 2 pieces of catfish, 2 jumbo wings with Mac and cheese and green beans. I asked to switch the green beans for cabbage because the green beans tasted like "Canned beans". The server was able to swap it out for me with no issues. The mac and cheese tasted good and the catfish is definitely Swai. The flavor was definitely there with the cabbage as well. The pork chops needed some salt and the potato salad tasted like it was store bought and doctored up with paprika on top. The time our food came out was outstanding considering we were a larger crowd. Our food was served on real plates. We were using wrapped plastic silverware and plastic cups to drink out of. The fork did melt on us. Overall not a bad experience but definitely a list of things to consider if you chose to dine at Jackie's. 1. Plastic silverware 2. Only 2 free refills on sodas and tea 3. Plastic cup to drink out of 4. Automatic 18% on all dine in orders

    Sunday Dinner with family was nice, I really appreciated the gospel music because I missed church. I arrived a little later than my family, last minute plans so my order appeared to be placed later which is understandable. The server said the kitchen was a tad backed up and I understood. He brought out my sides first (candied yams and Mac & cheese) to accommodate but I didn't care for the yams this time around, a little too syrupy and mush so I was kindly able to swap for collard greens that were very yummy. The Mac and cheese was pretty good, just expected to be warmer. I mixed my sweet tea with lemonade, which made the tea much tastier than the standard. I absolutely loved my catfish bites -- very hot and fresh! All in all, I'll def be back because I had a better experience with the yams in the past so I know the potential! Also, our server Marcus was awesome! He was so manner-able and attentive which made the experience all the more better.

    First time visiting this restaurant. The service was good, but not as warm as it could have been to our party of 10 (gratuity included). I had the fried jumbo chicken wings and shrimp. The shrimp were seasoned well! Loved it. The fries were nice and crisp. Ambiance was nice as we were seated on the lounge side.

    My Husband & I visits Jackie's Restaurant quite frequently; usually around mid-Day, when there's an older crowd there. The foods, the service, and, the atmosphere there are all very good. Hopefully, some of our relatives from Norfolk, Virginia will be visiting with us in a few months, and, GOD Willing, we're taking them to Jackie's Restaurant, for a taste the kind of fine foods, like the ones that, we grew up on.

    Sweet Potato Pie
    Adrienne K.

    Parking: available in the lot Ordered takeout inside of the restaurant. Had to wait about 40 mins for my food. The inside is spacious and they offer karaoke on select nights. Entree: Bologna Burger with cheese and fried onions 3/5 - large piece of bologna but a little salty. The onions were not fried which was very disappointing. The onions were barely fried and still crunchy . Dessert:Sweet potato pie 4/5 . I would recommend getting a slice. Overall, my food bologna burger was disappointing. It was the only reason I visited the restaurant. I highly recommend calling in a takeout order. I would go back and try something else. Everyone is entitled to an off day.

    My Mom and I usually order for pickup, but we decided to dine in today as it had been a few years (prepandemic). The food is freshly made, well seasoned and has great presentation. The wait staff are friendly, patient and helpful throughout the dining experience. Colors of turquoise and gray, a few tv's show casing sports decorate the interior that goes along with upbeat music to give a relaxed atmosphere.

    If I could give this meal 10 stars I would. I ordered the crab cake dinner with a side of greens, potato salad, & a dinner roll. My ONLY complaint is i wish I had gotten 2 rolls . Everything was absolutely delicious . The crab cakes were meaty & cooked to perfection. Those greens were succulent making them mouthwatering delicious. The potato salad taste better than than the Amish people's(if you know you know). I definitely recommend this meal. It is worth every penny. ​

    Delicious food!

The risotto that came with my duck leaned a little too far to the mushy side. The duck itself was really good. My niece had the salmon, and she had no complaints. She said she had the leftover last night as a sandwich and that it was delicious. Service was excellent. No notes.

There is a huge empty booth right in the front across from the hostess stand, no one was sitting there, we asked if we could sit there for just a moment to cool off in the AC- we were rudely told no we had to wait outside. The next family in line included 2 elderly women and a baby all dressed gorgeous, they also were told they had to wait outside in 105 weather. After about 20 minutes of waiting, (I was just going to tell them to forget it) they said our table was ready. Well, instead of inside with AC as we requested we were seated in a gazebo porch area that they claimed had AC. By this time we were so desperate for cool, we didn't argue that we had requested INSIDE not whatever this room was. It ended up being like sitting in a tuna can. So uncomfortable, my husband and bro in law just went and sat in the car with the AC blasting. Waitress was sporadic to put it nicely. Meanwhile, back inside the booth across from the hostess stand was still empty. Food was fine. But I don't think this place will be around much longer.

It was absolutely delicious - one of the best meals I've had in a while. I was drinking iced tea, which came with a little mint kick to it - I no longer drink alcohol with meals, but they appear to have quite a few creative cocktails as well. While this is likely a higher end restaurant for the area, I found the price averaging about $70 per person all in, including drinks, tip and tax to be quite a reasonable value overall.

We liked the bites from everyone's dish but liked what we ordered for ourselves best. I got the brisket which had such flavor and depth.

No discretion- announced the details of a remaining balance of someone in our group , loudly. Left a sour taste in our mouth as this was not the most professional route to inform a guest of something of that nature. Then proceed to give an attitude upon being compensated .. The situation was however de-escalated. Maybe work on delivery of uncomfortable information.

None of us had been before and I'll never pass up Thai food. We got the massaman curry while splitting the veggie gyoza with one of the kids and summer rolls with everyone. Also, I tried multiple bites of the red curry from one kid and from the other a tofu noodle. All in all, I'd say: sure, it's ok. I think they have good southeast Asian food, and okay Thai food. The curry was heavy on liquid and not as much on protein and veg. The gyoza were covered in dried garlic, which left little chance for any other flavors to come through, and what was there was mild. The summer rolls were super-sized and tasty for sure, probably the best of what we had IMO. The crispy tofu noodle was middle of the road.
