Jackie’s Place is the go-to spot for authentic soul food and Texas-style BBQ in the South Bay. It’s hearty, high-quality, and deeply flavorful. • The Best Bites: The 16-hour smoked brisket and Uncle Greg’s Ribs are legendary. For soul food, the Smothered Chicken and Mac & Cheese are essential orders. • Don't Miss: The Honey Butter Cornbread—it’s arguably the best in the city. • The Vibe: Casual, spacious, and family-friendly with a modern "cookout" feel. • The Trade-off: It’s popular, so expect a wait on weekends. Portions are huge, so come hungry or plan for leftovers.
The ribs were good, the brisket however was pretty dry. service was not the greatest, didn’t like I had to order on an app instead of a waitress. Wanted a refill on my tea and was told I had to order on the app at a cost. Atmosphere was decent and seating was good.
Finally a classy Soul food restaurant I love Jackies Place the food was The Bomb! The fish was tasty crispy and tender, the collard greens were seasoned to perfection the coleslaw was tasty as well. Thank you Ms Jackie. JuJu helped us and was so nice to help us pick out our food since it was our 1st time there we will be going back I also got a peach cobbler yummy.
My friend brought me to try Jackie's Place! I personally ordered: 1 Smoked Beef Brisket Plate 25.00 Bbq sauce on the side Collard Greens (w/ Smoked Turkey) Mac and Cheese Cornbread Muffin Fried Chicken Wings 4.00 With tax and tip came to around $33. Brisket was unfortunately dry. Fried chicken was good. I did have a stomach ache after, not sure if it was from the mac and cheese, or just from the heavier food that I don't eat too much of. Overall, nice spot for some solid eats! Tight parking spaces in the lot.
Best Southern-style comfort food in San Jose. Everything we tried was outstanding, Uncle Greg’s ribs are hands down the best I’ve had in a very long time. Tender, flavorful, smoky, took me straight to my childhood backyard barbecue with family. The collard greens were seasoned just right, the candied yams hit that sweet spot, and the hot link sausages were full of flavor with just the right kick. The brisket was good too, but if I had to choose between the brisket and the ribs, I’d go ribs all day long. This is good, soulful cooking that feels like love on a plate. Jackie’s Place makes you feel like you’re eating at the family cookout
