    The service is always good and the food is always hot and delicious. My only problem is having to…read moredecide between all the great choices. Breakfast is served all day and there's always great food on the buffet or you can order from the menu. If you like comfort food, this is the place to go!

    I've heard it said before that if you want home cookin', then eat at home. I normally subscribe to…read morethis belief. It's one reason I don't go out for breakfast ~ I can make a pretty good breakfast at home. No use paying someone to do something I can do. So, going into Jackson's restaurant, a mom and pop restaurant specializing in home cooked style food, I had my doubts. Walking up to what resembled a school cafeteria lunch line only furthered my doubts. And, seeing the sheer number of different options sitting out behind the glass window only furthered my suspicions. Look, I was wrong. The food here is really good. The service is super friendly and helpful. I was so overwhelmed by all the choices I just told the lady behind the glass counter to pick me something. She obliged with a kindness that made me think she knew me somehow. She chose the chicken and dumplings, beef stew, apples, and two different types of corn bread. Now, I thought initially, and she even admitted, that the chicken and dumplings/beef stew mix was a little unorthodox, but that they were both so good I had to try them. Both were fantastic. The apples were awesome. I liked both types of corn bread. When I got up to leave, she called me over to the counter and said that since it was my first time there, I'd get a free dessert. You all, I was too full to even try. The food here is both tasty and filling. I was in Richmond for a conference at Eastern Kentucky University. So it was really convenient to stop by. But I'd say that even if you're remotely close, it's worth a visit. Don't, as I did, judge a book by its cover.

    Another great visit!! This trip we ordered:…read more Frog legs with green beans and scalloped potatoes 2 piece dark chicken meal with French fries and greens Fried green tomatoes Our opinion: I was very excited about ordering the fried green tomato appetizer. I think this is the only thing I was disappointed by. The size of the tomatoes is large - but the breading is a flour breading instead of the traditional cornmeal breading. I thought it was too heavy and overpowered the flavor of the tomato itself. I probably wouldn't order these again unless a lighter cornmeal breading was an option. Please make that an option - because this tomato with a cornmeal breading and the fry dip sauce could be absolute heaven. Fried chicken: amazing, delicious, yummy - some of the best fried chicken ever Frog legs: you get 3 sets of legs and they are good size. Fried to perfection and delicious. Sides: Scalloped potatoes - I wasn't crazy about this side. To me a scalloped potato is a thinly sliced potato with a creamy cheese sauce. I would call these cheesy potatoes instead of scalloped. They were larger chunks. Green beans - loved them Greens - a bit salty but good French fries - the perfect French fry with the most amazing sauce ever

    Down home atmosphere? Check. Friendly local crowd, staff and…read morea boisterous chef? Check. Giant plate of homemade delicious food at low, low prices? Check and check!! I loved my platter of chicken livers w very sweet corn casserole and mashed. I still have 1/2 of it to take home. Hubby's chicken fingers were also fresh as can be. You will smell like fried everything afterwards, so don't plan a romantic evening. You also should not expect fast service on a busy Saturday night since it is a one room place. But if you leave hungry, it's your fault!
