    Chicken Waffles
    Gloria L.

    On the hunt for the best chicken n waffles and these did not disappoint!!!! The waffles and chicken were perfectly crispy. The specialty comfort syrup was a little too sweet for me so I preferred using the maple syrup Saturday around 1:30pm, I was able to find parking right in front of the restaurant and was seated as soon as I stepped in. I did prefer one of the tables in the corner and the waitress was nice enough to clean it for me since it was dirty. The food didn't take long to come out. Would definitely come back to try other items on the menu!

    3 Egg Omelette

    Loved the 3 egg omelette with mushrooms, spinach, and cheddar. Service was good. Busy when we went but good vibes with pop music from the 90s!

    Breakfast tacos & Disco Benny
    Jocelyn L.

    Omg definitely a hidden gem that I wish I had found sooner! I came here for brunch and loved their regular & specialty items. We got 3 of the speciality choices... the breakfast tacos, Disco Benny, and a po boy sandwich to go. The breakfast tacos were sooo flavorful & filling. I loved every bite. The disco Benny was also delicious, although the gravy which I expected to have a stronger flavor was slightly bland. We could've passed on the po boy, it was not as flavorful as we expected, the description sounded a lot better than the sandwich that we got, but the portion size was huge. I also got a fresh squeezed orange juice which was delicious and refreshing, highly recommend! The staff here were very friendly and the restaurant had a very homey vibe to it which I loved. Prices were also affordable for the quality food that we got! I will definitely be back to try other items on the menu!

    Great breakfast/ lunch place. Good portions, reasonable prices & fantastic staff. It's a half-hour away, but we'll worth it.

I don't think we be coming back here again. When i asked one of the staff what is this wthat comes with the paratha Omelet and the staff gave me an attitude and said it's patistani bread like i should have known.

The crispy cauliflower was excellent -- hot, actually crispy, and not drowning in sauce which I really appreciated. The lamb ribs came over labneh (a yogurt base) and the first plate arrived with the lamb cold. I asked our waitress if that was intentional and she said only the labneh should be cold.

Our waiter was so kind and helped guide us through the menu with great recommendations. I ordered the steak, and it was cooked perfectly. But our favorite had to be the bread served with olive oil, olives, and hummus. It was such a unique and thoughtful touch--something we hadn't seen done quite like that before. And the hummus? Clearly homemade and unbelievably fresh. I'm usually not a hummus fan at all, but I tried theirs and absolutely loved it.

    Do you ever have an experience at a place so bad that it ruins the trajectory of your whole day?…read moreThat was my morning at Jackie Smalls. I don't give out one-stars on principle unless the food is inedible or something egregious happens but I feel in this case it is warranted. This is my third time at Jackie Smalls. My first, I thought the avo toast was great. Second time I got a very bland breakfast burrito. My third, today, I brought my infant son and decided to dine in. I asked for a high chair and once seated was told by my "waiter" that he could not take my order but I had to order at the front. First issue was this high chair. Nobody knew how to adjust the straps including me, and it was some minimal little aesthetic thing that looked like he could easily topple out of. This is important later. Anyways no big deal with the ordering, front guy was accommodating and let me order from my seat. I ordered the Smalls Scramble for me and French toast for my son with the syrup and raspberries on the side, no pistachios or whip. Food takes a good bit to come out, which is no biggie either. When it arrives, they set down the French toast plate with a knife (a knife knife not a butter knife) on it in front of my son. Ok not great but I hand them the knife back. Then I try the food. Honestly, I'm not sure what to say about the food but...yikes. The eggs were certainly not soft scrambled, and the toast did not look buttered, and the weak potatoes were somewhat like a thick flaccid potato chip drenched in truffle oil and, by the way, not more than a speck of salt on anything. It looked pretty but that was about it. The French toast was deep fried or air fried and it was just not good. Sorry, no other way to say it. So I go to ask for two things: salt, and to inquire as to whether the multi-grain toast has nuts since I have an allergy and it looked concerning. I keep having to go up to these counters and leave my baby unattended in his unstable high chair because nobody will come to me and keep making me get up. I had to ask like five people about the bread until someone pulled out a binder and started looking for allergens. Everyone was just pointing me to the next person and many seemed to simply not understand my question due to a language barrier. I get my salt, and this is some COARSE salt. So I couldn't even fix the seasoning. Not flaky, but like coarse and pebbly for pickling or seasoning steaks, not for food. While I'm up and bouncing from person to person I keep gesturing at my son and nobody will come to my table. In the meantime, he smushed the raspberries and spilled the syrup and I'm back and forth between my conversation and keeping my son in his chair. At the end, I just didn't trust these people's knowledge of anything and could not eat any of my food but brought it home for my husband. It's one thing to serve food that needs a bit of work, but you need to at least offer normal table salt for folks to fix it. It's another thing to have the majority of your staff not know about allergens or how to navigate your high chairs. Also that food needed more than a little bit of work. I will say though those pancakes did look good. I will not be posting pictures for this review because I don't want to mislead with the pretty plating.

There's an old gentleman that made my coffee while the other employee wore a black apron and decided to go smoke cigarettes and mingle with the people on the sidewalk. Both times I noticed that the employees don't wash their hands considering they didn't put their hands in the coffee. It's still unsanitary. The sink area was completely disgusting and wet just like if no one cared of hygiene or cleanliness. I guess they are plenty of chairs but when you have these old creepy guys sitting there watching you, it's creepy. I don't recommend this place or I don't recommend the employees that clearly don't care. I will not be going back to this place. The people that sit on the outside are obnoxious, always smoking cigarettes, and it makes the place unattractive. It's as if they're trying to reenact the Sopranos. Your first view of this establishment when getting out of your car are grease bought douche bags that clearly don't have a job sitting around before noon smoking cigarettes on total Avenue. I don't believe this is an adequate environment to sit outside and drink, coffee or inside. Fix the ambience and get rid of the employees that don't do their job properly or don't have a considerate attitude for hygiene. One thing I almost forgot to mention I don't believe that politics should be spewed by employee employees while customers are being served. Including sprinkles of Reese's rhetoric.
