Just returned to Jessica's today As it was Fried Chicken Friday, I had to taste for myself "The Worlds Best Fried Chicken" I'd totally agree with that patron So tasty and crispy on the outside, moist and juicy on the inside Gave my friend a taste and she agreed, it's the best she's tasted‼ Service was excellent as usual Jessica's husband looked after us and our drinks were happily replenished Such a soothing, calm atmosphere Lots of fun memorabilia The place is always spotless. read more

Just had the best meal at JESSICA's RESTAURANT! Sis & I enjoyed lunch at this awesome quaint country setting with very inviting front porch! The hamburger was TO DIE FOR - thick slice ripe tomatoes, fresh crunchy lettuce, crunchy onions, and dill pickles on top of a moist and flavorful steak-like meat burger. The Reuben sandwich was also a hit, with the right amount of meat to sauerkraut mix and REAL crunchy onion rings. And don't even get me started on the fresh cut fries and great southern tea with lemon! The best part? I'd like to say the prices - everything is super affordable! But realistically, THE FOOD TASTE & QUALITY is THE BEST PART! Can't wait to come back! GREAT JOB and shout out to the folks at Jessica's! THANK YOU FOR A WONDERFUL DINING EXPERIENCE!! I'll be a frequent diner - I promise! read more

Walking in I was a bit worried because the front porch kinda smelled like cat piss, but the inside is nice. The food was good, and there were plenty of options to choose from. read more

Old mom and pop place with friendly staff and great food. Chips weren't very good for spinach dip though. Everything else was delicious read more

Jessica's Place in Delano is hands down one of the best spots to eat! The food is absolutely amazing, and the staff is always wonderful. They consistently go above and beyond to make sure customers leave happy and satisfied. Some of the highly recommended items are the Shepherd's Pie and the Country Fried Steak -- both are outstanding. The portions are generous and filling, and the quality is top notch. Everything tastes farm fresh and homemade; nothing feels reheated, and the fish is fresh with no frozen taste at all. My wife and I eat here at least once a week, and honestly, we wish it could be more often. Prices are also very reasonable, usually between $10-$20 per person, which makes it a great value for the quality you get. If you're in Delano, Jessica's Place is a must-try! read more

I typically would have kept driving! It's not a pretty sight from the outside, but inside the restaurant was clean! The staff were so sweet and kind! The main dishes were okay but the dessert was delicious! Give it a try! Perhaps you'll love it! Would I eat there again? Um, maybe. read more

Good food, but the owner is a pack rat! The building used to be very nice, clean and lots of parking. Now, after additions and a growing collection of junk that has practically spilled over onto Hey 411, the place is an eye sore. Give it a try if you can find parking. read more

Always good food. Owner and her family are very friendly and always give good service with a smile. Prices are very reasonable.

Food was good but could have been hotter. Service was competent and friendly. The AC was out but it wasn't uncomfortable.

Asked for plates and they had not been washed from the previous customer! The owner brought them out to the table.

Our best friends live close by and we stop in every time we visit them. Every meal we've had is fantastic, meatloaf, salads, smoked chicken, fried chicken, okra, roast beef, burgers, Reuben sandwiches on marbled rye, pancakes, sundaes, breakfast items & omelets and homemade desserts & breads you can take home; all delicious! read more

The food was delicious. Very friendly service. A nice place to stop, eat, and take a break from a long day of driving. I recommend stopping in. read more

You can always count on a GREAT Home-cooked meal here. Good variety, with ample-sized portions. Food is made per order, so it's always fresh, hot, and tasty. read more

Clean, wonderfulfood & service is above & beyond. Friendly people & cazy atmosphere atmosphere

Let's start with OMG !!! This place is worth the stop! Family owned, friendly and above all the food was AMAZING! My husband and boys came 2 days in a row for the meatloaf. Fried chicken was an absolute hit! I'm a vegetarian- and they had plenty of options Fried pickles were amazing! Seriously do not let the simplicity when you pull up deter you.... Biscuits were warm and home made. Owners come out and chat with gratitude. Wish we had a place like this in Florida! read more

I eat from there for the first time today and the food was absolutely delicious I had chicken tenders okra and mash potatoes it was the best I've ever had can't wait to go back there read more

Food is very good every time we go it's always busy .. Great place for breakfast ...

Home cooking!!!!!! The staff is super sweet and service is great. The place offers the family vibe and the food is yummy!

First time here after several friends told me about it. No regrets. I had the open faced roast beef and it was a plate full. Simple , country food that was well prepared. I'm a big eater and I couldn't finish the entire plate. Service was great and friendly. Steady flow of local patrons tells me the food is consistent too. I'll be back when I'm in the area. read more

Jessica's Place - Open faced roast beef - Southern Near Me - Delano, Tennessee

Jessica's Place was an unexpected treat for breakfast. Most restaurants were closed as my wife & I were traveling through Tennessee on a Sunday morning. We both ordered the Farmer's omelette (filled with chicken tenders, onions, peppers, hash browns, and cheddar cheese). The Farmer's omelette was hearty and delicious, with great texture. I also ordered a double-stack of pancakes for the table. The pancakes were bigger than expected and A+ overall. We left contently full and satisfied read more

We stopped at this little "hole in the wall" place on our way to Gatlinburg. Just a convenient little place on the side of the road, but it did NOT disappoint. We thought we knew what we were ordering until we heard a table over from us RAVING about how good the chicken is. So, we ordered chicken and oh.... my.... goodness.... the chicken was perfect. Possibly the best I've ever eaten. The okra tasted like it just came from the garden. The biscuits were fluffy and amazing. My husband's slaw and mashed potatoes were absolutely perfect as well. The atmosphere here is amazing. We did not find one single thing that we did not like about this place. we will definitely have to come back. read more

Jessica was so sweet and the food was lovely! Had vegetarian options that were yummy. Thanks Jessica!

Nice place off the side of the road. It's got that country look for sure, even had a little remodeling project going on out the back. It was a hot day, but the dining area where we sat was cool from what looked like 3 portable air coolers. The vegetarian soup was home made and the "All you can eat" fried chicken was a big hit at the table. She just kept bringing back plates with 2 pieces of chicken. Our server may have been the cooks daughter, but I don't know that for sure. I spoke with them both on our way out and just thought I saw similarities. Very nice people and the price of the food was fair. I'd come back if I ever float the Ocoee river again! read more

The chicken was beyond dry and had the stench of old oil. The service took forever (45 minutes for the fried chicken to come out), the sides were served under temperature and the server though nice was extremely inattentive. as a starter my table ordered the spinach and artichoke dip, though the dip was tasty the chips were extremely stale and had no crunch left to them. initially, we were drawn in by the carriages after leaving the Amish market, believing that this establishment was associated with the Amish, after less than favorable experience, I began to look up this restaurant online and realize that it has ties two white supremacist groups. (do your research), honestly, there was nothing memorable about the place and the interior was not up to par in regards to cleanlines. i'm not sure how this place passes inspection. read more

Food is excellent! It takes time to cook an exceptional meal, but well worth it. Everything is cooked fresh, so realize your tasty chicken breasts may take 15 to 20 minutes, but they will be worth it. The Texas Toast is the best we've had, and being from Texas that's a big "atta boy." Salads are fresh and tasty and the desserts are absolutely amazing. If you live in the area or are just passing thru, it's well worth a visit. read more

The food was very tasty and freshly made. I highly recommend it. I had the Reuben and I like that the meat was not too salty. I will definitely go back again. read more

Driving through on a family road trip and found this hidden gem! My husband had the Shepherds pie with fried okra as a side, my teenagers had chicken tenders, a Mac and cheese burger and a side of baked potato. I had a burger with their homemade chips. We all thought everything was delicious. Service was friendly and they helped accommodate me for gluten free ( lettuce wrap burger, no bun). If you're driving through this town and need to get something to eat, we recommended Jessica's Place read more

This place is outstanding. I believe they're Amish, which made me really excited. The food isn't world class, but it is their own and it is unique. You will not regret coming here. Comfort food with amazing flavor. The place itself on the inside is so cool, almost took a nap after eating. read more

DISGUSTING I came here while visiting TN and let me say the food was a MESS and the staff were mean and had an attitude the food was particularly warm like it was reheated in the microwave and the lettuce from my burger and mold. DONT SPEND YOUR MONEY HERE. read more

Service was incredibly slow. I had the BBQ which tasted like it came out of a can. The waitress was nice. My wife had a smoked burger that was pretty good. My son had pancakes that was good. Just giving 4 stars because of service and bbq quality... read more

The restaurant isn't fancy. They have a country Amish feel. Not sure if they are Amish. It's just down right good home cooking. The burgers are excellent! The fried chicken is crispy and juicy. We are definitely coming back! read more

Jessica's Place has the same owner as the former White Water Grille that was in Occoee, TN, who proudly coined the slogan, Make America White Again. If you're looking for a similar menu of White Southern American fare, their menu is about the same. Everything that I've had has been pretty good, except the Shepard's Pie; although the quality has slipped a bit in the past couple of months. read more

We love coming here. It is a nice ride from Cleveland and the food is home style cooking. If you want some good old fashion cooking then this is the place to go. read more

Good food! Love the decoration! The service was lovely! If I am back this way, I will return.

We were delighted to find this gem on the Sunday after Christmas. Hubby had a really good chicken fried steak and I opted for the Sunday special which was shepherds pie. It was incredible! The corn tasted like it was farm fresh and home canned. The service was great as was the country decor and uplifting acoustic gospel music that was softly playing in the background. read more

Best fried chicken ever but be prepared for 30 min wait for that. Get an app and enjoy the atmosphere- they make food from LOVE! Try it!

We stopped in here on a whim tonight and were pleasantly surprised! It's very cute and quaint and the food was amazing!! We ordered a bunch of food and every bit of it was great. Nothing was a let down! Even the sweet tea was perfect. The homemade salad dressings were yummy. The biscuits were soft and delicious. Even our 5 year old was impressed with her food. The owner, Jessica is just as amazing as her food. And our waitress, one of her daughters, was very sweet and kind and a great waitress. We will definitely be back! It was well worth the 30 minute drive from Cleveland. read more

My first experience warranted 5 stars - friendly staff, promptness despite being busy, butter with your biscuits. I have now updated my rating to 3 after another visit that was the exact opposite of my first experience. The staff couldn't be bothered for a smile or anything other than a "sure" response - the exact response I got from both waitresses. After they left my food, I didn't see them again until I stood at the register to pay. Couldn't even get butter for the biscuits! read more

Delicious food! Friendly, family-run restaurant with Biblically clean eats. Sometimes service is a bit slow, but we'll worth the wait.

A spur of the moment stop yielded wonderful smoked chicken salad on homemade bread. Wonderful staff and Ms Jessica was a wonderful hostess. Great opportunity for a back roads meal. read more
