I was still off keto from my vacation, so I was able to try the unhealthful things I'd been wanting to try. I immediately knew I had to get the club sandwich, but I was a little split on which side to get. I was leaning towards onion rings, which the server confirmed as a top pick. My sandwich was just ok. The bread was barely toasted, Since I rarely eat bread, and get it as a treat, disappointing bread can really affect a meal. The fillings were as expected. The onion rings were perfectly light and crispy. I decided to take advantage of the chance to try their desserts too, and so I went with the top recommended coconut cake. It was pretty forgettable. My husband's omelet was as hoped, and they let him sub his carby sides for avocado. We'll still come back, but when I come back on keto, I'll know I'm not missing much on the rest of the menu.

Now it's been many years since I've been home but it's a craving that is always there and hard to fill. Cafe 290 does just that! Great home cooked meals, typical Diner sized portions (very large) and breakfast at any time of the day! Let's be honest, it's never the wrong time for breakfast! It feels like you are sitting in your home kitchen, the staff are very nice, and the atmosphere is typical Texas Diner, and there is nothing wrong with that! Few pictures, and good ole classic cheeseburger! 1lb of meat... good luck, taste great but sheesh, it's hefty, the quesadilla is 10/10 with chicken, idk why it just bangs every time! And the very classic egg omelette! Get the diced potatoes, it's all divine! LASTLY and probably most important! THEY HAVE HOMEMADE CAKE AND PIE by the slice. It's expensive, listen to me here, it's worth the price, massive slices and fresh every day and THEY ARE INCREDIBLE!

The restaurant have a deck for outdoor shaded tables/seats. If you are not in the mood for the outside, there is plenty of tables and seats inside the restaurant. Staff is friendly and food is amazing! You can conveniently order and pay directly on their website for take out and delivery. After ordering from the website you will get a text to your mobile phone letting you know when your food will be ready. Super easy and convenient! Pick up was a breeze with going in and out. As for the food......this place is definitely a MUST TRY and have the BEST FRIED CHICKEN I've ever had. First time trying Jackson Soul and I ordered 3 piece fried chicken with Mac and cheese and collard greens, chicken fried steak, and 8 piece garlic Parmesan wings with Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes with gravy. The fried chicken is super crispy on the outside and super moist juicy in the inside! The chicken batter was seasoned so well with spices that one bite makes your palate buzzzzzzzz with a well balanced flavor! So unique and special! I didn't know fried chicken could ever taste so damn good! The mash potatoes and homemade gravy was well seasoned cream and delicious! Chicken fried steak was meaty and the perfect amount of steak to batter! The outside of the steak was crispy and the steak was moist. I will definitely order the fried chicken and chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and gravy again! The garlic Parmesan wings had good flavor with a little heat from the dried chili flakes but it was not crispy and was a bit oily from the butter sauce. My family enjoyed the wings but I preferred the fried chicken . Will I be coming back? Heck yes! Jackson Soul restaurant is little soulful gem treasure in Elgin, TX! I will definitely be coming back and trying out their other items and lunch/day specials. Food, quality, proportion size, and price is great! Food is made with love and it shows in the food! 5 stars all the way!! No

The migas were more like a veggie omelette. Again good but not what we wanted. The masa balls were a bit undercooked, at least for our tastes. We also had Phoebe's Benedict. We asked for over hard eggs and they came out crispy. The ham was almost as thick as the bread. The ambiance was a little ruined for us when we were sat right next to another table just a foot away from us. That's ok if it was crowded but there were plenty of open tables and staff. The service was good. The food came out fast. Just not quite what we like.

I ordered the fried fish plate with macaroni and cheese and candied yams, plus sides of sautéed cabbage and honey butter cornbread. My total came to just over $44, so I was expecting to be impressed. After ordering, someone came to the window and explained that they needed to make more mac & cheese and it would take 45 minutes. I requested a refund for that side, but when I received my order, it was included in the bag anyway. The food looked appealing, but my first bite of fish, while crispy, was flavorless. The mac & cheese wasn't mixed well and lacked seasoning. The candied yams had too much allspice, the sautéed cabbage was bitter, and the cornbread was crumbly rather than moist. Overall, I was disappointed--especially after waiting over 30 minutes for my food, having skipped breakfast in anticipation of this meal. Based on other reviews, I can see they've served great food, but unfortunately, today just wasn't that day.

This weekend we went out to Elgin for their music festival, and dinner beforehand. There were so many items on the menu I wanted to get, but I went with my gut and got the Club Sandwich. It was kind of small, but that's a good thing, because while I like clubs, they're usually too big for me. Everything else about it was just perfect. If you like bacon, you might be a little disappointed, because the bacon was scant. On the side I chose onion rings since the only options were those or two types of fries. I tried a few nibbles of those, but they were easy to leave behind. I wanted to save room for dessert! All the desserts looked good, and their meringue pies appeared to be most popular, but I chose the Italian Wedding Cake. It was soooooo much better than the carrot cake I tried a few months ago, but maybe I'm just overly picky about my carrot cakes. This cake was huge and moist, and a real treat! My husband's burger seemed fine. Not too much to tell about it. We're definitely going to have to be back!
