On our first trip I was so amazed with the food I forgot to post a review. I had oxtails, yams, and mac & cheese. Oxtails were on a bed of rice with a very tasty gravy. Yams were on point. The Mac & cheese was good, however black pepper taste forward. Portions were big so I was able to have the oxtail for lunch the following day. Today I went with fried chicken wings, yams, and red beans. Another great dinner! If you're out in Manor stop by and chat with Fred Nunn. He's hilarious and a wonderful soul food chef,

We've been twice for lunch, but yesterday we spontaneously decided to break routine and go out for breakfast. We're still off of our diets after vacation in Paris, and we both secretly wanted to extend vacation (and indulgent food) one more day before facing work and healthy habits on Monday. Normally we get eggs for breakfast at other diners, but this time we were thinking alike, and decided to get the thing most unlike what we regularly eat - waffles topped with bananas, chocolate chips, and peanut butter, with chicken on the side. Sugar free syrup was an option, thankfully, because I have to reign it in somewhere. The waffle wasn't quite as crispy as I like, but with all those toppings it would be hard for it to be bad! However, the chicken tenders were the surprise hit of the meal! They were moist and the breading was light and crispy. There were quite a few people there on a Sunday morning, and some seemed to be regulars. I'd like to find something on the menu that wows me so that we become regulars too, but so far it's coming in at just satisfactory. Since we don't allow ourselves many treat meals, the calories really have to be worth it to keep coming back. We'll give it a few more tries. Our servers were extremely friendly. I want to love this place! We'll try a few more times and see what the verdict is!

Now it's been many years since I've been home but it's a craving that is always there and hard to fill. Cafe 290 does just that! Great home cooked meals, typical Diner sized portions (very large) and breakfast at any time of the day! Let's be honest, it's never the wrong time for breakfast! It feels like you are sitting in your home kitchen, the staff are very nice, and the atmosphere is typical Texas Diner, and there is nothing wrong with that! Few pictures, and good ole classic cheeseburger! 1lb of meat... good luck, taste great but sheesh, it's hefty, the quesadilla is 10/10 with chicken, idk why it just bangs every time! And the very classic egg omelette! Get the diced potatoes, it's all divine! LASTLY and probably most important! THEY HAVE HOMEMADE CAKE AND PIE by the slice. It's expensive, listen to me here, it's worth the price, massive slices and fresh every day and THEY ARE INCREDIBLE!

The corn dogs were tasty, the catfish dish was packed with creole flavors, but the chicken and beignets were OK. The chicken wasn't crispy / fried enough and the beignets were very sweet. While the concept is fairly unique, the biggest letdown was how pushy the bartender was upon entry. Felt odd to hand over my card and start a tab before I even looked at a menu. Seemed as though she wouldn't let you leave the front room, unless you ordered a cocktail. ‍

The restaurant have a deck for outdoor shaded tables/seats. If you are not in the mood for the outside, there is plenty of tables and seats inside the restaurant. Staff is friendly and food is amazing! You can conveniently order and pay directly on their website for take out and delivery. After ordering from the website you will get a text to your mobile phone letting you know when your food will be ready. Super easy and convenient! Pick up was a breeze with going in and out. As for the food......this place is definitely a MUST TRY and have the BEST FRIED CHICKEN I've ever had. First time trying Jackson Soul and I ordered 3 piece fried chicken with Mac and cheese and collard greens, chicken fried steak, and 8 piece garlic Parmesan wings with Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes with gravy. The fried chicken is super crispy on the outside and super moist juicy in the inside! The chicken batter was seasoned so well with spices that one bite makes your palate buzzzzzzzz with a well balanced flavor! So unique and special! I didn't know fried chicken could ever taste so damn good! The mash potatoes and homemade gravy was well seasoned cream and delicious! Chicken fried steak was meaty and the perfect amount of steak to batter! The outside of the steak was crispy and the steak was moist. I will definitely order the fried chicken and chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and gravy again! The garlic Parmesan wings had good flavor with a little heat from the dried chili flakes but it was not crispy and was a bit oily from the butter sauce. My family enjoyed the wings but I preferred the fried chicken . Will I be coming back? Heck yes! Jackson Soul restaurant is little soulful gem treasure in Elgin, TX! I will definitely be coming back and trying out their other items and lunch/day specials. Food, quality, proportion size, and price is great!

The migas were more like a veggie omelette. Again good but not what we wanted. The masa balls were a bit undercooked, at least for our tastes. We also had Phoebe's Benedict.

The ambiance was a little ruined for us when we were sat right next to another table just a foot away from us. That's ok if it was crowded but there were plenty of open tables and staff. The service was good. The food came out fast. Just not quite what we like.

I ordered the fried fish plate with macaroni and cheese and candied yams, plus sides of sautéed cabbage and honey butter cornbread. My total came to just over $44, so I was expecting to be impressed. After ordering, someone came to the window and explained that they needed to make more mac & cheese and it would take 45 minutes. I requested a refund for that side, but when I received my order, it was included in the bag anyway. The food looked appealing, but my first bite of fish, while crispy, was flavorless. The mac & cheese wasn't mixed well and lacked seasoning. The candied yams had too much allspice, the sautéed cabbage was bitter, and the cornbread was crumbly rather than moist. Overall, I was disappointed--especially after waiting over 30 minutes for my food, having skipped breakfast in anticipation of this meal. Based on other reviews, I can see they've served great food, but unfortunately, today just wasn't that day.

This weekend we went out to Elgin for their music festival, and dinner beforehand. There were so many items on the menu I wanted to get, but I went with my gut and got the Club Sandwich. It was kind of small, but that's a good thing, because while I like clubs, they're usually too big for me. Everything else about it was just perfect. If you like bacon, you might be a little disappointed, because the bacon was scant. On the side I chose onion rings since the only options were those or two types of fries. I tried a few nibbles of those, but they were easy to leave behind. I wanted to save room for dessert! All the desserts looked good, and their meringue pies appeared to be most popular, but I chose the Italian Wedding Cake. It was soooooo much better than the carrot cake I tried a few months ago, but maybe I'm just overly picky about my carrot cakes. This cake was huge and moist, and a real treat! My husband's burger seemed fine. Not too much to tell about it. We're definitely going to have to be back!
