    Lemon pepper wings and French fries - hot and cooked to order..FLOP - delicious and refreshing...good service...ALL of my condiments! I will return to try more of their menu options..

    Looks A little intimidating, but they were friendly

    Listen!!! If you are looking for some really good food, then this is the place to be, I will admit, when I first drove through the area, I was a little intimidated because of the neighborhood. But that did not deter me from making my way inside. They do have parking and it was very clean with no trash laying around. The front door, and all the glass upfront is barred, which was the scary part. But that only tells me about the neighborhood. It does not tell me about the customer service. Inside, you will see that they have no seating. It is just a order and go restaurant. I ordered lemon pepper pepper wings Yellow rice and collard greens. It was all very good. Then I ordered the snapper sandwich which came with fries. That was also very good. My order was reasonably priced. And they cooked to order so everything was hot and fresh. I will say that there was a little interaction with the cashier but nonetheless, they were very nice and got to me in a timely manner. Know if I have to complain, and I mean really had to complain, it would only be the drinks. I ordered a sweet tea and a lemonade with my orders. The sweet tea was way too sweet. And it tasted a little old. The lemonade was very lemony, but not as sweet. I can't remember what other options were available but definitely don't do the tea. Overall I would come again and would definitely recommend to anyone else.

    Decided to give this establishment a try after passing by it several times. There's parking in the back, after a short walk you'll be at the entrance. The waiting area is a little small but they do have four chairs to sit on while waiting. There's tv with menu options, menu is extensive. I decided to get the fried snapper dinner combo. The combo came with rice and two additional sides. I opted for double fries. The snapper was really fresh. I liked the rice and didn't eat much of the fries but they were good. I got full from the snapper and rice. One con about the food is the parsley they sprinkled on top, felt like it was unnecessary. Overall, I enjoyed the food and would recommend to others. I would've gave five stars but the wait time was long and I think they forgot about my order. Waited over thirty minutes, people who order after me received their order before me. The person who took my order noticed and had to ask me what I ordered. A few minutes later I recovered my order. Next time I'll call In my order, to reduce waiting.

    It was probably one of the first to stop in, and I was impressed! My first impression was that I was surprised by how clean the restaurant was. I'm no stranger to this neighborhood and was expecting to overlook things to cure my hunger. The staff are very welcoming and have a great process of conducting business with a full restaurant. My biggest problem was trying to figure out exactly what to eat. The menu is quite large and leaves you wondering what everything will taste like. I played it safe and got the orange pepper wings meal, which was pretty hefty and heavy. No complaints!! I'll be back to try the jerk pasta and another flavored set of wings. This place did not disappoint and is definitely my lunch go-to spot!

    I was driving in the area and seen the sign and searched it up here on yelp and decided I had to try it the next day. Very glad I did I got lucky to speak to the head chef she was a very nice lady and helpful. I ordered the southwestern wrap and this was probably the best chicken wrap I've ever eaten hands down. Chicken was perfectly cooked and the fries were amazing. I went back 2 days later and ordered the wings and rice combo with corn bread also This is definitely my new soul food spot in Miami

    The food was amazing and the staff was just as good. I definitely recommend this. The first and only soulfood restaurant I actually enjoyed.

    There are restaurants that feed a neighborhood, and then there are restaurants that anchor one…read more Jackson Soul Food which is tucked into the heart of Overtown is the staple of the community a place where Miami's history simmers as steadily as the collard greens on the back stove, and where the morning air is thick with the aroma of frying catfish and decades of stories. Walking in feels less like entering a dining room and more like stepping into your grandmas kitchen. The clatter of forks, the low hum of conversation, the unhurried hospitality it's a rhythm only established kitchens earn, a rhythm Jackson Soul Food has perfected over generations. The food arrives the way soul food should: unapologetically hearty, full of flavor, and untouched by trends. The fried whiting is a quiet masterpiece thin, impossibly crisp, and seasoned with the confidence of a kitchen that knows exactly what it's doing. The grits, creamy and barely salted, serve as a reminder that restraint is also a skill. And the biscuits? Buttery, tender, and almost spiritual when paired with a smear of house-made jam. But it's the oxtails that demand a moment of silence. Slow-braised until the meat gives in without protest, they come cloaked in a glossy gravy that tastes like hours of patience and years of practice. It is the sort of dish that reminds you why soul food endures: because it's built on discipline, memory, and love. Jackson Soul Food isn't flashy there's no neon signage or influencer-designed plating. What it offers instead is something rarer: consistency. A commitment to the dishes that built its legacy, not the ones chasing social media novelty. In a city where restaurants rise and fall with the tides, Jackson remains proudly rooted. Come hungry, come early, come with respect for a place that has quietly shaped Miami's culinary identity. This isn't just breakfast. It's a piece of Miami's soul served on a plate and one that continues to deserve its place in the city's story.

My eggs were cooked perfectly and the bacon was nice and crisp. My guests ordered fried conch, which was golden brown and tender, but the highlight was the shrimp and waffles!

This time, we showed up around 2pm, the oxtails were cooked- so she ordered the oxtails and grits, I ordered the shrimp and grits. Can I tell you how disappointed I was?!? This plate of shrimp and grits, the cream sauce looked like it had been reheated from frozen in the microwave. It looked a little curdled. I'm always down for an adventure- so I ate it. The taste wasn't bad, it just wasn't really good. Sad to say- it was mid at best. Plus, the shrimp still had the tails on. Imagine that! My sister said the oxtails weren't cooked enough- she had to cut the meat off the bones. Hopefully this was just a really off day. Based on my first experience, maybe I should stick to morning visits.. but I'm sure I'll return.
