Chicken and waffles without the wait! When we were seated, my hubs whispered to me... I feel like we're in IHOP. I told him , "Yeah, but IHOP doesn't have chicken and waffles." "Touche." (I actually googled it and it turns out that IHOP does, but they have chicken strips, so it's really not the same). We tried the chicken and waffles, chicken fried steak and eggs, ham sandwich (with delish and addicting fries!), kid's french toast and kid's pancakes. If you like fluffy pancakes, then don't forget to order them! Prices are very reasonable as well and the food came out pretty quickly. We went on Sunday at 11am and it was probably 80% full. read more

Really, really great breakfast and service! Dined here one weekend morning. We were immediately greeted and seated. This place resembles an old IHOP from the outside building structure, set-up, menu AND taste! Yes, who thought someone could mimic the famous chain of IHOP?? Jackie's Kitchen has to be the sister company because everything was almost identical. Nonetheless, everything was great. Ordered the meat omelette with pancakes and hashbrowns and I had the French toast plate with eggs and bacon (although I was brought link sausage ) with a side of hashbrowns. Hot syrup and great-tasting food. They're not 24 hours (think they close at like 6pm) but I would definitely return if in the area. read more

Classic diner food, minus the grease. They had the full range of pancake/waffle/omelette options that you would expect. I got the chicken crepe, which comprised mushrooms, spinach and chicken in a luscious cream sauce wrapped in a light, fluffy crepe, topped with a nice hollandaise. I docked one star because they sat another family in the booth right next to ours instead of reserving spaces for social distancing; i was relieved that we were wrapping up and were able to get out of there soon because we were definitely less than 6ft away. read more

I'm giving 2 stars bc the orange juice was good and our server was nice. We went as a family to eat breakfast before church and wish we would have saved our $50. My strawberry cream cheese French toast was so bland with no flavor, my hash browns were lightly cooked and gross and my over easy egg was full of egg whites still. My daughters grits were watery and gross she said, she didn't even like her pancakes! Which she has always loved pancakes. I'm assuming the give maple syrup which is super watery. My other daughter got a waffle and she didn't like it either. My husband said his wheat pancakes with the blueberries and turkey bacon were dry. He didn't Luke the blueberries either. Literally the only good thing was the bacon. Maybe the 4 stars are for the lunch and dinner bc the breakfast was naaaaaasty! We will never come here again for breakfast. read more

Karla was a very rude server. First she told me and my party of 6 that we couldn't push two small tables together. Another nice worker who wasn't our server later saw us sitting separate and told us we could push the tables together. When it was time to pay she told me friend who ordered a plate that was $8.99 and got water to drink that her bill was $17. My friend kindly asked why it was $17 because her meal was only $8.99 and Karla rudely replied "you can select the print the receipt". Meaning that she wanted my friend to PAY first then see the receipt. She saw all of us very confused on why the bill wasn't adding up and NEVER mentioned gratuity was included after my friend ask if it was.

It gets the job done. According to my fiance who is a native Houston, he says it's alright. I came here because of the pricing and the amount they give you. That's why I give it 3 stars. I had the cream cheese strawberry stuffed french toast. It comes with hash browns, sausage, and eggs. It was only 8.99. I thought that was great. But as far as the flavor, I feel the description slightly over hyped it. It was ok. My fiance got the chicken fried steak combo. His came with hash browns eggs and two pancakes. His was only 9.99. Again, great price for a lot of food. But he says it was OK because you could get more for the same price, elsewhere. He says the steak wasn't cooked good enough. There wasn't as much meat. I would recommend it if you wanted a affordable breakfast with a decent amount of food read more

It's a cute diner, but the food is definitely something you can make at home for cheaper lol. Me and my boyfriend came in this morning before work looking for a good meal, but unfortunately that's not what we got. He ordered a sausage and cheese omelette, with hash browns and I ordered the Eggs Basic with turkey bacon. When the food came out, his omelette was already cold, cheese was not melted, and eggs were runny but cold? Not sure how you do that but go off. My food was okay, hashbrowns were nice and crispy I will say that, my eggs were about room temperature and the turkey bacon? oh let's not get started..it was literally like wood with no flavor. When our server came around to check on us, we were just about done eating. Mind you my boyfriend didn't eat but a bite of his food and the only thing our server offered was a Togo box after we told her that he didn't like his food. She took our money and told us to have a good day. We both work in restaurants and that's usually not the way to go. Anyways before we left we asked for a manager which so happened to be the owner. While my boyfriend was telling her about our experience she looked at him with the blankest stare, almost like she did not care about our experience this morning. Will not be returning, we spent $35 plus a tip for something that easily could've been cooked at home and tasted so much better. read more

They had live music on, and from the looks of it if you want to be a part of the show you can as they also have karaoke it looks like. The gentleman that greeted us was so nice and made us feel so welcomed! It wasn't one of those "oh I have to be nice to these guests because I'm getting paid" type people, you could really tell his niceness was genuine. I felt like I was at a fine dining restaurant. Our server was also very nice, and super helpful as I asked for a wine suggestion and she hit the nail with her suggestion. She brought a small sample for me to try before serving it. The food itself was delicious! We got the onion rings appetizer, and you could tell they were made to order. They were super fresh and also crispy. The chicken parmigiana was good, and they were not stingy with their portions at all. The picture I took doesn't do the dish justice. I will definitely go back to this place, as their food, service and overall experience is a great one when you dine in.

OK, so this turned out to be a surprisingly good meal and much better than we had expected. We…read moredrove into the mostly defunct strip mall, found the restaurant down on the corner, walked in and sat down and then perused the menu in depth. We shared a bowl of the potato soup where we had no expectations and I thought it tasted pretty decent. But the real test was the entrees. Mr. Picky ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp while I opted for Veal Parmigiana, and we each stole a bite from the other's plate. We reached consensus immediately that both dishes were well-seasoned and quite delicious, meaning we would return for more good food in the future. Seriously, we hadn't expected much when walking in and looking around, but were pleasantly surprised at the kitchen's efforts. We finished lunch with an order of homemade bread pudding and tiramisu, the latter of which in 2012 won a chamber of commerce epicurean competition 1st place ribbon. I wasn't there to judge that competition and have had better, but sincerely appreciated the moistness of the bread pudding. While the majority of diners were older and a more mature crowd, there's a lot to be said for value, and we thought the menu price was better than reasonable and I think a lot of people will discover this as a value destination, something we all appreciate.

When she delivered our drinks and food she could barely sit the things on the table before sprinting off! She would walk off so fast before we could ask for straws and condiments as if she didn't want to be bothered! I started to look at the other staff and they were doing the same thing to the other tables as well (So Weird)! Sometimes I can overlook not so good food if the staff is good but in this case, it was all bad! I will not be returning and will not recommend this place! So many other places that are better!

I came in feeling good about trying this place out and left with a bad taste in my mouth. It wasn't from the food either.. Being that I went on a Sunday morning, there was a wait but people were getting seated quickly. The problem didn't come until after I started to notice people with larger orders getting served before my table. Oh, I should mention we only ordered chocolate chip pancakes. After 30 minutes, the waitress comes with our order being unusually nice and asked if we wanted syrup. After I declined, she insisted and left it at the table. Come to find out, there were no chocolate chips in the pancakes! I only found out after I started to eat and did not notice any. When I told the waitress about it she said the kitchen had ran out. As crazy as it sounds, this lady went though drastic measures just so she wouldn't have to tell me, hence the syrup and the fact that they gave us wheat (which is why we couldn't tell at a glance) pancakes!! Who would think a restaurant could be so petty. Instead of charging me for the buttermilk pancakes she gave me, I just got a $1 discount. I will never return. There are too many restaurants in Houston to put up with this mess. Not to mention, the owner Ms.Jackie was watching my table like a hawk before the incident so clearly she knew something was up. Shame on her. read more

I work nearby here and I just started stopping by for lunch. The service is great and quick as well. Ask for celsa, she is really good. I usually get the burger when i come in as its good and really good price. I also tried the chicken and waffles once and it was great -- might be my new go to item. Everything is very clean and the waitresses are very attentive to everything. Couple people at work told me Monday is chicken and dumplings and apparently there is a pork chop special i need to try. read more

I have been eating breakfast on the weekends here for about a year. The food is always consistently good. The owner is always peesent to oversee things. The serving sizes are generous and always served hot. The kitchen is open so you can see the vook staff working feverishly. I kinda prefer that nothing to hide concept. The clientele are regulars and unpretentious which makes for a comfortable feel. I recommend this individually owned place over chain establishments like Denny's and IHOP. read more

I stopped in at Jackie's Kitchen while my truck was getting brakes done next door at Phillips Tire and Service Center. These are the best pancakes around town! Jackie herself is extremely nice and visited with me as I waited on my food. She spoke highly of the auto shop that my truck was at. I can tell this area is full of great people. Visit Jackie's and try the pancakes, you wont be disappointed. read more

There was a worker with covid-19 NOT wearing a mask! The woman came up to my table and started couging and when we asked why she wasnt wearing a mask she said it was because it's her right! I asked to see a manager and she began cursing me out! She called me a libtard, turns out she was a trump supporter! The manager NEVER came out and I received my food in 1h and 30min! NEVER GOING AGAIN!!! read more

Small venue, with great down home service and good comfort food. Our waitress, Becky was very attentive and we felt the food was great as well as the price. The only downfall is they are only open from 6 am to 8 pm daily and this is the type of place we'd love to go eat late at night as well. We'll be back! read more

Nice diner type place. Lots of cool menu items. I usually rotate around the menu, but always get the pancakes to come with. Pot roast sandwich is amazing, but a lot of ones I just stick to basics--sausage, ham, thick bacon, hash browns, and eggs! So cheap and clean! read more

Well, one of our favorite breakfast places burned down a couple of weeks ago. Franks Grill. So…read morewe've ventured out today to find a new place to go eat. We love to find the mom and Pop places and we found one this morning. Angie's Country Kitchen. Now the outside doesn't look like much but don't let that fool you. They've been there since 2000 and what a cute just feel like you're walking into your grandma's house kind of place. The waitress, Aracely, was so sweet. And everybody said good morning to everybody when they walked in. I'm real picky about my eggs. I like eggs over medium. And I have to tell you not many places, get it right but this place got it right. There was no gooey white stuff, but it was still bloody, that's the yolk.. My husband got the two egg plate which came with bacon and hashbrowns or grits. He likes half-and-half where you get half grits half hashbrowns. He loves that. My bacon was crispy like I like it. And huge big old pieces. I just got the sides - one egg and an order bacon. They have got specials all week. They have a steam table and they have things like liver and onions, beef tips and rice, king ranch chicken casserole. They also have kolache's and other sweets. And the prices you cannot beat. The bathroom is clean thank you very much. They are located at Hempstead and Kempwood. Like I said, you might drive by this place and think oh I don't know, But you should give them a try. Because if you want just a good little café to eat some good homemade food. Go to Angie's Country Kitchen. Tell them Miss Lou sent you.

For apps, you really can't go wrong. The garlic hummus is my go-to, the chipotle salsa has a nice kick, and the white queso is straight-up addictive. For entrees, my absolute favorite is the Chicken Salsalito -- the dressing is perfect, everything is chopped into bite-sized pieces, and the mix of jicama, tomatoes, and onions just works so well together. It's one of those salads that actually feels satisfying, not like an afterthought. The Caesar with grilled chicken is also consistently amazing. The chicken always has that great char on the outside while staying juicy inside, which is harder to get right than most places make it seem. And don't skip the chocolate cookie!

The atmosphere is nice but just a miss on freshness.
