Jackies Place - SoFA - San Jose (CA)

3 /5 Whitney Nelson: I ordered the fried fish with fries and greens. I dined in & loved that my food was served hot! The fish was pretty good but very thinnly sliced and was basa which isn’t always my favorite. The fries were great but I personally didn’t like the greens, they seemed like they need to cook longer to really get the flavor and the corn bread tasted like jiffy which gave the meal an overall manufactured flavor versus a homemade one. Overall, the food was good however I’ve been living in the south for the last 7 years so I am a little spoiled when it comes to flavor. I will say that the service was wonderful and the restaurant ambience was delightful.

5 /5 Keshila Shannon: Second time visiting this little delicious gem. The last time was in May, and I had chicken and waffles; that dish was fire. Today, the family and I went back, and it did not disappoint. I ordered fried chicken, mac and cheese, and collard greens. My husband and daughter had brisket with coleslaw and fries, and lastly, my son had the pork ribs with beans. Everyone was happy (beyond). For a treat, we had banana pudding - Yass, that was crazy good. We loved nearly everything. My only feedback is that the collard greens were a bit vinegary for us. The chicken was seasoned throughout. The brisket was tender, and the ribs fell off the bone. Excellent service, but it can get busy on a Saturday evening. Saw a mixture of families, young people, single diners, and older people. Great vibe. Sorry, the pictures do not do the taste justice, and don’t let the portions fool you, I’m a big back, and I don’t finish all my food. Enjoy.

5 /5 E Lee: Walked in and given menu without prices. Ordered at the counter and gave our name to be called when food was ready. Appreciated basketball on tv. Many families eating here. Mac and cheese had a thick creaminess. Yams were very sweet. Corn bread decent. Brisket was juicier than it appears. Fish pieces were tilapia and good.

5 /5 Stevens Brian (Coach Brian): This food was off the charts. Everything was served hot, fresh and fast. The smoke on the ribs and brisket was perfect and the bbq sauce was the an amazing balance of sweet and tangy. They might as well get rid of the forks in this place.The collard greens were tender and savory and the cornbread brought it all together. I absolutely recommend the 2 meat combo so you can try more than one.
