    French toast with fruit
    Chalandra G.

    Came on a Sunday and it was pretty packed, but they got us seated quickly! The strawberry pineapple mimosa was crazy good. I had to force myself to drink it slowly so it would last most of the meal. I got a French toast with some fruit and my partner got an omelet. He said the eggs were slightly undercooked, but he still devoured his entire meal lol. Good spot to by!

    I live very close to this place and is one of my favorites! I have enjoyed every single item from the menu that I have tried! The service is great, I know most of the staff by now. Everyone is very friendly and everything is always nice and clean.

    We were down in the area and decided to give this place a try, and glad we did! We were very impressed by how many people and cars were here, and were expecting to wait a half hour, but got seated almost immediately, quite impressive. We ordered our food and got it quick. Service was good, food was also good with large portions . The inside itself was large, and buzzing with people chatting, wet welcoming . We will definitely be coming back, great first experience !

    Great food Great prices. I love this place. I eat is really a treat I recommend this to anybody stopping me through or anyone who lives in the area the food is amazing

    Breakfast Goodness!

    Spectacular as usual! The crape breakfast burrito was scrumptious!!the service, coffee and house potatoes are also second to none!!

    Service was good but the food was blah. I ordered an omelette with the chicken chorizo and other vegetables and it was very bland. It came with red potatoes and they were so greasy I could not eat them. Coffee was room temp but the mimosas were tasty. It's a nice comfy space and colorful as well, but I cannot recommend it for breakfast.

    ESPANOLA OMELET and S BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

    Ive been coming here for years as a staple hangover spot for breakfast. Very flavorful food, and always great service. Their pancakes are top tier, and I love that their breakfast potatoes are made from red potatoes. Unique to their restaurant as Ive never had them this way at any other restaurant.

    I was a little bit disappointed . I felt rushed . They were very subtle . The food was fine. It was crowded and busy. You can put your name on the wait list! It is casual . I like the Kenosha one much better . I tried this one a couple of times before with a better experience so I am not sure

    I went with my family and we got the Mexican steak bowl, salmon and eggs and the classic breakfast. The ham was so delicious very juicy and tender. The salmon was okay very smokey. The bowl is amazing the steak is very tender and juicy complimenting the runny eggs and avocado. As for the service magnificent, our server was very kind and very welcoming The ambiance was okay its very crowded along with a very long wait time. Cons- The glasses were a little foggy. other than that this place is definitely a must!!

    Banana & Nutella Crepes (but I'm allergic to bananas so they subbed strawberries )

    My friend and I are here when we were visiting Milwaukee and we were so impressed! The decor is all rustic farmhouse but still cozy. The service was quick and extremely friendly and accommodating. The coffee, iced and hot, hit the spot. My crepes were wonderful - made me do the happy dance! My friend got a skillet that was also delicious. Can't wait to go back!

    Veggie bowl add chicken chorizo
    Bennie S.

    Stopped in passing by Wi... the staff was great and this veggie bowl had everything in it i love. The option off adding a protein was excellent. Nice clean restaurant and great music. Would come back if in the area.

    So they have mimosas?

    Yes! They have your classic orange juice mimosa, as well as, cranberry and peach, or combos

    Are there vegan options?

    Not great ones, there's no alternative milk as of June 2021 so if you're Vegan or Dairy free and want a latte you're outta luck.

    How much of their food is certified organic?

    Great question, I'm told it's locally sourced,sustainable,non gmo,gluten free and kosher.

I noticed that the folks in the neighborhood like to gather here and hang out. Love the community feeling!

The food and service has always been good. Today, we ordered Chilaquiles with Carnitas added in a verde salsa, Corned Beef Hash, and sides of hashbrowns and 2 pancakes (instead of toast). The Chilaquiles were very good and the over easy eggs were perfect. The carnitas were tender and nicely seasoned. The housemade corned beef cubes were tender and the diced pan fried potatoes had a nice latin seasoning blend. I just wish the hash had diced bell peppers and onions. I also wish the poached eggs I asked for with the corned beef hash were cooked properly. I was expecting the type of poached eggs that are like small balloons waiting to be popped so the egg yolk oozes out over the corned beef hash. These poached eggs were over-cooked and looked un-appetizing, but tasted fine. The hashbrowns were perfect - crispy and tender and properly seasoned! The side of pancakes were fluffy and absorbed the syrup quickly. Overall a good visit. The food was mostly on point, except for the disappointing poached eggs and lack of onions and bell peppers often found in a hash. If I go back, I'll stay away from their benedicts (since poached eggs are not executed correctly, and corned beef hash, and instead stick with the Chilaquiles.

One side of the menu lists breakfast items, and the other side lists lunch items. I ordered the Farmers Skillet with ham, bacon, sausage, tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, and canned mushrooms, your choice of eggs, and topped with melted American cheese. I asked for no cheese, so you won't see it in my photo. The dish also comes with choice of white, wheat, rye, or sourdough bread. I assumed fresh mushrooms would be used, but I was wrong. I don't like the rubbery texture of canned mushrooms, but I know others like them. Consider this a heads-up. Also, note that their corned beef hash comes from a can. I asked because I almost ordered it. My sourdough toast was good, as expected. My gf ordered the Country Fried Steak with eggs & hashbrowns, and she enjoyed it. The service was great, as was the "diner" ambiance. I think this is a great spot for breakfast, and I would come back again. I'd like to try their lunch menu, too.

This price point is aligned with all the pop up pancake restaurants and all the heavy hitters for breakfast so it's not worth driving to any more.

When the dive breakfast restaurant is priced at nicer breakfast restaurants price point its not worth the drive any more so good by old friend. A $21 omelette can be found at nicer restaurants in town.

I've also tried a few other menu items, and you really can't go wrong. The menu is similar to the other Jackson's locations in the area, which makes it easy to know what to expect. Service tends to be a bit slow, but it's usually understandable since we sit in the bar area, and the bartender is often responsible for both the bar and the nearby tables. They do their best, and we're typically in no rush. That said, one of our more recent visits was a little disappointing. We stopped in around 3 p.m. on a Sunday, and the atmosphere was unusually chaotic. The music was very loud--so loud that it was hard to hear the bartender and even carry on a conversation with my husband. There was also a group of rowdy patrons being obnoxious, whistling, and vaping indoors. I get that it's a bar, and a lively crowd is part of the vibe, but vaping inside should've been addressed. A simple reminder from staff to take it outside would have helped. Overall, I still like Jackson's for a casual hangout with great wings, but I'd appreciate a little more attention to the atmosphere when it starts to get out of hand.
