Being from out of town, it was a little confusing at first how it all worked. For other lost souls like myself, it's seat yourself. From there you can order off the menu and someone will come to you, or you can go up to the buffet and order from there. The prices for that are on the chalk board. Food wise, it was pretty delicious! Very friendly atmosphere - a guy came in and gave the owner some tomatoes from his garden, so you know it's quite the local joint. Would recommend for brunch or lunch, and don't expect to eat much else the rest of the day. read more

Love the atmosphere of this place! Great home cooked food! Love the pie also! A great little while in the wall place to check out!!

I'm a huge fan of this local business! Great, delicious hot food and friendly service. Also, keep in mind that if it's your first time you get free dessert! I recommend the pecan pie. :) read more

Best place in Richmond Ky You love food You love country food like your grandmothers You like great ppl Well go mark off a on your day & eat here hungry, leave FULL.. or Carry out also! read more

Great little southern cookin place. Maybe I shouldn't say little, the portions are HUGE. and everything is really cheap. It's cafeteria style with mostly fried meats and a variety of side dish options. You choose a meat and how many sides you want, a meat and one side is only $4.59. They also have an all you can eat option but I've never tried that because it's pretty heavy food and one plate is plenty. read more

Great food for a great price. Menu has lots of options. You can order breakfast any time of day, and there is a great selection of food to choose from near the side entrance of the store. You can park in the front or in the back. read more

They serve home-style food cafeteria-style, or you can order off of a menu. It's a great value. The food was good, but I would say it's about on par with Cracker Barrel. read more

Fabulous! Great local charm, great food. A little off the interstate but worth the trip. It's cafeteria style food bar is incredibly varied. Any place that serves lamb fries has to be some good cooking. I had the chicken livers and they did not disappoint. Husband had handbattered chicken fried chicken. It was perfect. Green beans are like mamaw makes. Free pie on your first visit, we had to get to go because we were so full! Will be stopping by next time we travel this way. read more

Ordered a veggie omelette and he had a steak omelette. Its cafeteria styled and has a buffet. Lots of people for a Sunday. What happened to church? Maybe it just got out. Not much for a parking lot though. Good food. Like grandmas cooking. I am full. Waitress Ray is awesome. The we ordered pie omg they have butterscotch and he got blackberry. read more

I am giving this 4 stars because of the customers service was wonderful. I wanted something different than the ordinary for a road trip. So I decided to venture off and visit a local diner. It looked a little sketchy when we pulled up, parking in the rear. The atmosphere was nice and homey. Staff was great and friendly. The menu was attractive. The food was ok, if you like a lot of fried food.. Plus it was warm to warm. Overall the food was good. It could use a little TLC- or attention to details on the small things- cleanliness.. salt and pepper shakers.. final thoughts- a good place, I would return and eat again, but be specific on my food. But the staff wins this.. Best part f read more

Some friends and I were passing through and inquired about a good place to eat. We were directed to Jackson's. We sat down and started reviewing the menu. Then, people started streaming in. Must be a popular place I thought. Well, I wasn't dissappointed. Despite the rush, our server checked on us, apologised for not getting to us quicker, and made sure we had all that we asked for. Sure, it took a little longer but thats the way things work when you all of a sudden get a rush of people. Now to the food. We were there for breakfast. I ordered an omlette and toast with a side of bacon. All was done perfectly! The bacon was crispy just like I like it without being over cooked. The eggs moist and flavorful with no over done edges, or any thing that made you think someone wasn't paying attention. If I lived closer, this would be a frequent stop of mine. I hope to find myself in the Richmond, KY area again. You can be sure I'll stop in here again! Thank you Jackson's for a great breakfast! read more

We always try to dine at local restaurants when we visit anywhere. So when we saw Jackson's, that's where we decided to go. Walking in felt like stepping back into the old age of diners. That's meant as a compliment. The food was delicious. 2 of us had chicken, 1 had meatloaf, and 1 had open-faced turkey. Our dinners had so much food that we couldn't eat it all. You definitely get your money's worth. You will not be disappointed eating at this restaurant. read more

Personally, I don't see why Jackson's doesn't have a much higher rating. I have had their breakfast a many Saturday mornings, always top notch. However, this is my first dinner with them. Thanks to the reviews I read about their Reuben Sandwich I took the plunge. Well boys and girls just one gander at the pic I poster and you will understand. Sandwich, one side (I chose the side to salad) and drink, just $8.99 10 minutes later I had one of the best Reubens I've ever tasted. More than I could eat and the dogs enjoyed the left overs. Kinda wish I had room because the blueberry cheesecake looked delicious. Now it's time for props to Peyton, my waitress, totally delightful. Claims she's there all the time, just ask for her. read more

Excellent service. We came for breakfast and my coffee cup stayed fill and warm. I had the corned beef breakfast. Fresh called corn beef, beat food for a fair price. Hubby had the Jackson Country Breakfast, enough food to last him for the day. We ordered both of our eggs over easy and they were made exactly as they should be. We are passing through town but if we came through again at breakfast time we'd come back. read more

The food was outstanding and at a reasonable price. My 3 lunch companion agreed Jackson's Restaurant deserves a 5 Stars rating. Southern homestyle cuisine at it best. I will be back tomorrow for lunch. 203 S. Third St. Richmond, KY read more

Food is always good and hot! I love their food. My only problem with Jacksons is: neither of us (neighbors) have cars, or transportation to and from the restaurant. We live at Madison Towers, downtown! It would be great if you guys would pick up delivery to our towers. I am sure the business would be great (especially from apt 805). Think about this long and hard, please...TY read more

Use Wisconsin folks love Jackson when we are in town to visit! Everything is amazing! read more

Jackson's Restaurant - Fried Pork chop and three sides! - American Near Me - Richmond, Kentucky

Jackson's Restaurant - Trying our free dessert from Jackson's Restaurant. Amazing!!! - American Near Me - Richmond, Kentucky

Every since the Denny's in my hometown closed I have been searching for the closest thing to their "Super Bird" turkey sandwich. I took a chance today and called Jacksons to see if they had anything close. The lady I spoke with was so nice and accommodating. Although they did not have a turkey melt they had a ham and cheese melt. They were able to modify it for me and when I got it it was delicious!! Even down to the pickles and seasoned fries. I have spread the word about this gem and will definitely be going back ! Thanks Jacksons! read more

Amazing food and service!! 5 stars!! Highly recommended! The pork chop is always great! The portions they give are very fulfilling! read more

We go to Jacksons every week and sometimes more. All those working there makes us feel like home. Food is really good. Large variety of things to choose from also. read more

The food here is really good home cooked type restaurant. A little bit salty though. And it can be a bit pricey for what it is.

Nice little place. Excellent service. Good food. Early bird breakfast only $5.99. 2 eggs, bacon or sausage, potatoes, biscuit and gravy. Great deal. read more

My husband and I ate here Saturday and it was delicious. It is a mom & pop type place with cafeteria style serving. But come with your appetite, the plates are big enough to share or have leftovers for another meal. They have a huge variety of vegetables to choose from & several meats / entree also. My husband had the pork chop (huge!), with greens, pea, & green beans. He couldn't finish all of it. Your definately get your money's worth! I had meat loaf with fried taters, Mac n cheese & green beans. I had over half my food left to take home! The servings are huge! It was right at $20 for our meal with two drinks. Not bad at all. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only reason I give a 4 is some of the silverware was not as clean as should be and the trays could use another wipe down. They do have packets of plastic forks/ spoons also. The place is not very big and it was fairly busy while we were there. We will go back for sure. It was a good meal. Country Home Cooking. read more

The food was good and the staff was very friendly. This was my first time eating at Jackson's and if you are a first timer they give you a free slice of pie. Forgot to take pictures of my meal. read more

Friendly staff, great food, relaxed atmosphere, and affordable prices. The buffet line moved quickly and the tables are always clean.

Free dessert on your first visit here! Need I say more?! Walk, run, speed or comply to the law, just get here. It would literally be worth the drive from Lexington if you're looking for a place that serves southern, cheat day like food. When I walked in, I wasn't expecting it to be buffet style, but it was. You can still go with the buffet and only choose a meat and one side, you don't have to choose the endless buffet. The friendly staff serves you the food in a cafeteria like fashion, so it's not the ordinary buffet experience, you know, the kind where you touch the same serving spoon that Billy Jo Bob and Ellie Mae touched too. I had already scoped out the menu on here, and I just had Thanksgiving dinnerS a few days ago, so I opted for something lighter and decided on the buffalo chicken sandwich and seasoned fries. The only bad thing was that on the menu it specifically said crispy chicken sandwich but after about 5 minutes, the waitress or whoever took my order at the front, came out and asked it I wanted fried/battered or grilled chicken. Oh well, not a huge deal, but by the time that I got my meal, my Mr. had already finished his meal, and it was huge! I just had to be difficult and order something different. The sandwich was actually two breaded chicken fingers dipped in buffalo sauce and garnished with ranch, lettuce and tomato. The fries were excellent and everything was piping hot. It also included a drink, all for $6.99. Not too bad! For my free dessert I got banana pudding. WOW. read more

Great food and great service!! Had the meatloaf, fried chicken with green beans and mac n cheese. Will definitely come back !

Every town has one you just have to look for it - family owned , simple , excellent value and delicious. Soul/comfort food served with southern grace and charm , where they treat you like family when you are a stranger. But the pies , the delicious made with love pies transcend their modest and aromatic surroundings and will send you into a sweet comfort associated with family gatherings and church socials. Just one more reason to get off the interstate and connect with humanity. Eat here now! read more

I'm so glad I tried this place! Delicious home cooking. I got meat and two sides and it was a FULL plate! I don't know where they would have put a third side... The ribs were fall off the bone and very yummy. Mac n cheese was none of that gourmet stuff, just just good ol' kentucky style comfort food like my grandmother makes. Sweet tea is good and sweet. Green beans had a lot of flavor. All most too much for me because I tend to make thing on the medium to bland side, but my husband would much prefer these I'm sure. Not at all too salty despite lots of flavor. I declined the corn bread and dessert because it was already going to be more than I could eat, but I hope to try them both in the future. The chocolate pie was tempting. The staff is super friendly, treating you like family (without being overly chatty to us introverts) and much of the clientele seem to know each other. It's like the local country folk have come to eat and talk. There was one table of four men that just talked the whole time I was there. They won't rush you out! This is definitely a local hole in the wall, but if you like southern or ky comfort food, don't miss it! read more

I was really excited to try this place. I'm fairly new to Richmond and I've had several people recommend it to me. I was slightly less excited to open my to go order of meatloaf and mashed potatoes with white gravy....especially since I ordered salmon patties and mashed potatoes with brown gravy. I would have gone back but I live out in the country and it wasn't worth it. Sadly I hate meatloaf. read more

Great little local spot. Food is a good price and home style cooking. You can order breakfast lunch or dinner at all times off the menus as well as they have a food bar with daily specials read more

I only wish Cincinnati had a restaurant this good. We've been coming to jackson's for years, not only because the food is terrific but because various members of our party can all get exactly what they most like here. Vegetarian? Endless variety of delicious sides that, together, make a meal. Old fashioned palate? Your classic meat and four (or three or two or one) can be chosen to fit what your appetite desires. Fast food more your bag? Jackson's can lay out a hamburger and fries to rival any. And the breakfasts are great, too. What I'm saying is, you don't have to adapt your tastes to fit what's on offer: they adapt to suit you. And unlike a lot of country American home cooking places, the food is not overly salted here. I much prefer this to any corporate competitor like Cracker Barrel, Bob Evans, etc. read more

One of the only truly locally-owned breakfast spots in Richmond, so that's a huge plus. Food is solid and the service is very quick and efficient. read more

Great vibe and awesome food. Waitress was kind and helpful for this being our first time here. Close to EKU and highly recommend from many at the school for a great local fee. read more

Excellent southern cuisine with great staff! The food here is served cafeteria style, you can pick one meat, two sides that comes with a bread too. Their pork chops are excellent and their mash potatoes never disappoint. read more

This place is THE place to go in Richmond for real comfort food. The portions are huge and it's all so good. It gets very busy during peek hours and you may not be able to get a table, but you can get it to go. Not a lot of parking, it's downtown so kind of expected to be limited on parking. read more

If you want home style cooking, then Jackson's is a good place to go. The food bar is really good. Plenty to choose from.

This place is one of my dad's favorites. It is our place for lunch together. We like the home cooking. You don't find that many places anymore. Dessert is a must. read more
