I've heard it said before that if you want home cookin', then eat at home. I normally subscribe to…read morethis belief. It's one reason I don't go out for breakfast ~ I can make a pretty good breakfast at home. No use paying someone to do something I can do. So, going into Jackson's restaurant, a mom and pop restaurant specializing in home cooked style food, I had my doubts. Walking up to what resembled a school cafeteria lunch line only furthered my doubts. And, seeing the sheer number of different options sitting out behind the glass window only furthered my suspicions. Look, I was wrong. The food here is really good. The service is super friendly and helpful. I was so overwhelmed by all the choices I just told the lady behind the glass counter to pick me something. She obliged with a kindness that made me think she knew me somehow. She chose the chicken and dumplings, beef stew, apples, and two different types of corn bread. Now, I thought initially, and she even admitted, that the chicken and dumplings/beef stew mix was a little unorthodox, but that they were both so good I had to try them. Both were fantastic. The apples were awesome. I liked both types of corn bread. When I got up to leave, she called me over to the counter and said that since it was my first time there, I'd get a free dessert. You all, I was too full to even try. The food here is both tasty and filling. I was in Richmond for a conference at Eastern Kentucky University. So it was really convenient to stop by. But I'd say that even if you're remotely close, it's worth a visit. Don't, as I did, judge a book by its cover.

There is a good amount of avocado that mixes so well with all the flavors of the avocado. If you are not in the mood for all you can eat at Upper Case or Chick-Fil-A, which are campus staples this is a great go to. The lines can be long at lunch so plan accordingly. There are single tables and group tables, so you can eat alone or with friends. The cool EKU covered picnic tables are close by too!

There were two employees standing in the main area that did not say anything to us about closing. They just turned the lights off. The woman's restroom only had one stall available for use so my daughter and I had to take turns. My husband and son finished and went into Jimmy Johns to eat. While I was in the hall waiting for my daughter to finish a third man appeared at the counter and yelled across the store that they were closed. I said yes, I understand we are almost finished. I decided to wait and use the restroom elsewhere but my daughter was washing her hands so I changed my mind thinking I would finish by the time she was done and we could leave together. As I was pulling up my pants the third man opened the WOMENS bathroom door completely and proceeded to yell at us that they were closed. I was livid. I proceeded to inform him that I was going to call the police because a man should never under any circumstances enter a women's restroom while it was being used. He yelled the same words over and over again so I have to assume his English was limited as well as the proper way to treat women and customers. So I would advise anyone to not use this establishment for anything but especially the women's restroom. unless you want a man barging in on you. If he is not the owner and the actual owner reads this I would suggest you correct this behavior immediately lest you have a lawsuit on your hands. I was very close to calling the police. This happened at 9 pm on Saturday November 25th 2023.
